For any minor-closed class of matroids over a fixed finite field, we state an exact structural characterization for the sufficiently connected matroids in the class. We also state a number of conjectures that might be approachable using the…

We prove that for every proper minor-closed class $M$ of matroids representable over a prime field, there exists a constant-competitive matroid secretary algorithm for the matroids in $M$. This result relies on the extremely powerful…

We extend the definition of the Cartesian product to graphs with loops and show that the Sabidussi-Vizing unique factorization theorem for connected finite simple graphs still holds in this context for all connected finite graphs with at…

We show that an adjoint of a loopless matroid is connected if and only if it itself is connected. Our first goal is to study the adjoint of modular matroids. We prove that a modular matroid has only one adjoint (up to isomorphism) which can…

We study the interplay of C*-dynamics and K-theory. Notions of chain recurrence for transformations groups (X,G) and MF actions for non-commutative C*-dynamical systems (A,G) are translated into K-theoretical language, where purely…

Submodular set functions are undoubtedly among the most important building blocks of combinatorial optimization. Somewhat surprisingly, continuous counterparts of such functions have also appeared in an analytic line of research where they…

Given a subgroup $\mathcal{H}$ of a product of finite groups $\mathcal{G} = \displaystyle\prod^n_{i=1} \Gamma_i$ and $b>1,$ we define a polymatroid $P(\mathcal{H},b).$ If all of the $\Gamma_i$ are isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z},$ $p$…

We introduce the notion of ungraded matrix factorization as a mirror of non-orientable Lagrangian submanifolds. An ungraded matrix factorization of a polynomial $W$, with coefficients in a field of characteristic 2, is a square matrix $Q$…

We exhibit examples of finitely presented subgroups $P$ of direct products of hyperbolic groups for which there is no algorithm that detects whether a finitely presented group has a quotient isomorphic to $P$. For any torsion-free, linear,…

We consider integrable category $\mathcal{O}$ representations of Borcherds--Kac--Moody algebras whose Cartan matrix is finite dimensional, and determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for which the tensor product of irreducible…

We consider crossed product von Neumann algebras arising from free Bogoljubov actions of the integers. We describe several presentations of them as amalgamated free products and cocycle crossed products and give a criterion for…

Let $G=G_1 \ast \ldots \ast G_k \ast F_N$ be a free product of finitely presented groups, where $F_N$ is a free group of rank $N \in \mathbb{N}$. Let $\mathrm{Out}(G,\mathcal{G})$ be the subgroup of $\mathrm{Out}(G)$ preserving the set of…

Matroids and semigraphoids are discrete structures abstracting and generalizing linear independence among vectors and conditional independence among random variables, respectively. Despite the different nature of conditional independence…

In this paper, we establish a rigidity result for automorphisms of multiplicative direct products of $D$-rings which are total ring of fraction that have pairwise distinct cardinalities. Under these assumptions, every automorphism acts…

We prove that every holomorphic symplectic matrix can be factorized as a product of holomorphic unitriangular matrices with respect to the symplectic form $ \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 0 & L_n \\ -L_n & 0\end{array}\right]$ where $L$ is the $n…

We study the online submodular maximization problem with free disposal under a matroid constraint. Elements from some ground set arrive one by one in rounds, and the algorithm maintains a feasible set that is independent in the underlying…

In this paper we describe a parallel algorithm for generating all non-isomorphic rank $3$ simple matroids with a given multiplicity vector. We apply our implementation in the HPC version of GAP to generate all rank $3$ simple matroids with…

If $M$ is a matroid, then a simple matroid $M'$ with the same rank as $M$ is an adjoint of $M$ if there is an inclusion-reversing embedding $\phi$ of the lattice of flats of $M$ into the lattice of flats of $M'$ such that $\phi$ maps the…

Let k be a field of characteristic zero. We consider graded subalgebras A of k[x_1,...,x_m]/(x_1^2,...,x_m^2) generated by d linearly independant linear forms. Representations of matroids over k provide a natural description of the…

An algebra $\A$ is said to be an independence algebra if it is a matroid algebra and every map $\al:X\to A$, defined on a basis $X$ of $\A$, can be extended to an endomorphism of $\A$. These algebras are particularly well behaved…
