We determine the minimal non-trivial integer group determinant for the dicyclic group of order $4n$ when $n$ is odd. We also discuss the set of all integer group determinants for the dicyclic groups of order $4p$.
In this note we formulate and prove a version of Cartan decomposition for holomorphic loop groups, similar to Cartan decomposition for $p$-adic loop groups, discussed proved by Garland (and later by the authors by geometric mathods). The…
We study torsors for groups defined by algebraic difference equations. Our main result provides necessary and sufficient conditions on the base difference field for all such torsors to be trivial. We also present an application to the…
This is an expository introduction to simplicial sets and simplicial homotopy theory with particular focus on relating the combinatorial aspects of the theory to their geometric/topological origins. It is intended to be accessible to…
The object of this short note is to prove a theorem and present a conjecture for the number of even entries in the character table of the symmetric group.
We provide an algorithm to calculate the invariant factors of the Shapovalov form on the standard $\Z$-lattice inside the basic representation of a Kac-Moody algebra of $ADE$ type, and give explicit formulae in some cases. The techniques…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for $P$-equivalence of arbitrary matrices and $P$-congruence of symmetric and alternating matrices, where $P$ is standard parabolic subgroup of $GL_n(F)$ and $F$ is an arbitrary field.
This is the fourth one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with orthogonal groups of minus type.
In this work we deduce explicit formulae for the elements of the matrices that represent the action of integro-differential operators over the coefficients of generalized Fourier series. Our formulae are obtained by performing operations on…
The exponential of the triangular matrix whose entries in the diagonal at distance $n$ from the principal diagonal are all equal to the sum of the inverse of the divisors of $n$ is the triangular matrix whose entries in the diagonal at…
In this paper we give a small review of some recent results of elementary equivalence of linear and algebraic groups and our last new results of elementary equivalence of categories of modules, endomorphism rings of modules, lattices of…
We propose a diagrammatic notation for matrix differentiation. Our new notation enables us to derive formulas for matrix differentiation more easily than the usual matrix (or index) notation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our notation…
In this article we present an elementary introduction to the theory of minimal surfaces in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb R^n$ for $n\ge 3$ by using only elementary calculus of functions of several variables at the level of a typical second-year…
We introduce and study a class of Iwanaga-Gorenstein algebras defined via quivers with relations associated with symmetrizable Cartan matrices. These algebras generalize the path algebras of quivers associated with symmetric Cartan…
This paper is dedicated to compute Pfaffian and determinant of one type of skew centrosymmetric matrices in terms of general number sequence of second order.
We present a formula for the norm of an elementary operator on a C*-algebra that seems to be new. The formula involves (matrix) numerical ranges and a kind of geometrical mean for positive matrices, the tracial geometric mean, which seems…
This expository article introduces the topic of roots in a compact Lie group. Compared to the many other treatments of this standard topic, I intended for mine to be relatively elementary, example-driven, and free of unnecessary…
This article presents new enumerative results related to symmetric planar maps. In the first part a new way of enumerating rooted simple quadrangulations and rooted simple triangulations is presented, based on the description of two…
Often in mathematics it is useful to summarize a multivariate phenomenon with a single number and in fact, the determinant -- which is represented by det -- is one of the simplest cases. In fact, this number it is defined only for square…
We evaluate one-dimensional representations of quantum symmetric conjugacy classes of classical matrix groups along with their quantum stabilizer subgroups.
