For an integer $n\geq 1$, we display a poset $\Phi_n$ whose maximal chains are in bijection with the $n\times n$ alternating sign matrices. The Hasse diagram $\widehat \Phi_n$ is obtained from the $n$-cube by adding some edges. We show that…

We discuss space-time symmetric Hamiltonian operators of the form $% H=H_{0}+igH^{\prime}$, where $H_{0}$ is Hermitian and $g$ real. $H_{0}$ is invariant under the unitary operations of a point group $G$ while $H^{\prime}$ is invariant…

The current applications of non-Hermitian but ${\cal PT}-$symmetric Hamiltonians $H$ cover several, mutually not too closely connected subdomains of quantum physics. Mathematically, the split between the open and closed systems can be…

Let B be an n by n doubly substochastic matrix. We show that B can be written as a convex combination of no more than {\sigma}(B)+t subpermutation matrices, where {\sigma}(B) is the number of nonzero elements in B and t is the number of…

In this article, we give a polynomial algorithm to decide whether a given permutation $\sigma$ is sortable with two stacks in series. This is indeed a longstanding open problem which was first introduced by Knuth. He introduced the stack…

Let $Y$ be a scheme in which 2 is invertible and let $V$ be a rank $n$ vector bundle on $Y$ endowed with a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form $q$. The orthogonal group ${\bf O}(q)$ of the form $q$ is a group scheme over $Y$ whose…

We prove that the quantum cohomology ring of any minuscule or cominuscule homogeneous space, once localized at the quantum parameter, has a non trivial involution mapping Schubert classes to multiples of Schubert classes. This can be stated…

After extending the classic notion of a tight Heffter array H$(m,n)$ to any group of order $2mn+1$, we give direct constructions for elementary abelian tight Heffter arrays, hence in particular for prime tight Heffter arrays. If $q=2mn+1$…

We show that the problem of computing the distance of a given permutation from a subgroup $H$ of $S_n$ is in general NP-complete, even under the restriction that $H$ is elementary Abelian of exponent 2. The problem is shown to be…

Let $n$ be an integer greater than or equal to $3$ and $(R,\Delta)$ a Hermitian form ring where $R$ is commutative. We prove that if $H$ is a subgroup of the odd-dimensional unitary group $U_{2n+1}(R,\Delta)$ normalised by a relative…

Using arbitrary bases for the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, we obtain the generalized M\"obius transformations (GMTs), which are a class of bijections between the projective geometry $PG(n-1,q)$ and the set of roots…

The (classical) problem of characterizing and enumerating permutations that can be sorted using two stacks connected in series is still largely open. In the present paper we address a related problem, in which we impose restrictions both on…

The $k$-coprime graph of order $n$ is the graph with vertex set $\{k, k+1, \ldots, k+n-1\}$ in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are coprime. We characterize Hamiltonian $k$-coprime graphs. As a particular case, two…

Given a polynomial \( H(x) \) over \(\mathbb{F}_{q^n}\), we study permutation polynomials of the form \( x + \gamma \mathrm{Tr}(H(x)) \) over \(\mathbb{F}_{q^n}\). Let \[P_H=\{\gamma\in \mathbb{F}_{q^n} : x+\gamma \mathrm{Tr}(H(x))~\text{is…

We investigate inhomogeneous quantum groups G built from a quantum group H and translations. The corresponding commutation relations contain inhomogeneous terms. Under certain conditions (which are satisfied in our study of quantum Poincare…

The general method of Reshetikhin and Turaev is followed to develop topological invariants of closed, connected, orientable 3-manifolds from a new class of algebras called pseudo-modular Hopf algebras. Pseudo-modular Hopf algebras are a…

In this paper, we connect two types of representations of a permutation $\sigma$ of the finite field $\F_q$. One type is algebraic, in which the permutation is represented as the composition of degree-one polynomials and $k$ copies of…

Given a Chevalley group $\mathcal{G}$ of classical type and a Borel subgroup $\mathcal{B} \subseteq \mathcal{G}$, we compute the $\Sigma$-invariants of the $S$-arithmetic groups $\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{Z}[1/N])$, where $N$ is a product of…

We initiate the study of sorting permutations using prefix block-interchanges, which exchange any prefix of a permutation with another non-intersecting interval. The goal is to transform a given permutation into the identity permutation…

Let $B$ be the group of invertible upper-triangular complex $n\times n$ matrices, $\mathfrak{u}$ the space of upper-triangular complex matrices with zeroes on the diagonal and $\mathfrak{u}^*$ its dual space. The group $B$ acts on…
