We generalize the polynomial-time solvability of $k$-\textsc{Diverse Minimum s-t Cuts} (De Berg et al., ISAAC'23) to a wider class of combinatorial problems whose solution sets have a distributive lattice structure. We identify three…
In 1984, Ditor asked two questions: (1) For each $n\in\omega$ and infinite cardinal $\kappa$, is there a join-semilattice of breadth $n+1$ and cardinality $\kappa^{+n}$ whose principal ideals have cardinality $< \kappa$? (2) For each $n \in…
Leibniz algebras are a non-anticommutative version of Lie algebras. They play an important role in different areas of mathematics and physics and have attracted much attention over the last thirty years. In this paper we investigate whether…
We study algebras encoding stable range branching rules for the pairs of complex classical groups of the same type in the context of toric degenerations of spherical varieties. By lifting affine semigroup algebras constructed from…
Much study has been done on semigroups which are unions of groups. There are several ways in which a union of groups can be made into a semigroup in which each of the component groups arises as subgroups of the constructed semigroup. An…
The main result of the paper is an extension of the Dirichlet problem from (closures of) bounded open domains U to arbitrary compact subsets X of the complex plane, i.e. the closure of the corresponding space of functions which are harmonic…
Let g = Lie(G) be the Lie algebra of a simple algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Let e be a nilpotent element of g and let g_e = Lie(G_e) where G_e stands for the stabiliser of e in G. For g classical,…
We devise exact conditions under which a join semilattice with a weak contact relation can be semilattice embedded into a Boolean algebra with an overlap contact relation, equivalently, into a distributive lattice with additive contact…
For the modular lattice D^4 = {1+1+1+1} associated with the extended Dynkin diagram \tilde{D}_4 (and also for D^r, where r > 4), Gelfand and Ponomarev introduced the notion of admissible and perfect lattice elements and classified them. In…
We consider several subgroup-related algorithmic questions in groups, modeled after the classic computational lattice problems, and study their computational complexity. We find polynomial time solutions to problems like finding a subgroup…
By a twenty year old result of Ralph Freese, an $n$-element lattice $L$ has at most $2^{n-1}$ congruences. We prove that if $L$ has less than $2^{n-1}$ congruences, then it has at most $2^{n-2}$ congruences. Also, we describe the…
We construct a C*-algebra that has only one irreducible representation up to unitary equivalence but is not isomorphic to the algebra of compact operators on any Hilbert space. This answers an old question of Naimark. Our construction uses…
For a class V of algebras, denote by Conc(V) the class of all semilattices isomorphic to the semilattice Conc(A) of all compact congruences of A, for some A in V. For classes V1 and V2 of algebras, we denote by crit(V1,V2) the smallest…
We develop a ring-theoretic approach for blowing up many noncommutative projective surfaces. Let T be an elliptic algebra (meaning that, for some central element g of degree 1, T/gT is a twisted homogeneous coordinate ring of an elliptic…
We say that a (∨,0)-semilattice S is conditionally co-Brouwerian, if (1) for all nonempty subsets X and Y of S such that X $\leq$ Y (i.e., x $\leq$ y for all (x, y) $\in$ X x Y), there exists z $\in$ S such that X $\leq$ z $\leq$ Y,…
This paper presents a geometric model of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of a type A quiver together with a stability function for which all indecomposable modules are stable. We also introduce a new Catalan object which we call a maximal…
In 2012, the second author introduced and examined a new type of algebras as a generalization of De Morgan algebras. These algebras are of type (2,0) with one binary and one nullary operation satisfying two certain specific identities. Such…
We consider some distinguished classes of elements of a multiplicative lattice endowed with coarse lower topologies, and call them lower spaces. The primary objective of this paper is to study the topological properties of these lower…
It is proven that every geometric lattice of finite rank greater than 1 has a matching between the points and hyperplanes. This answers a question of P\'olya Prize-winner Anders Bj\"orner from the 1981 Banff Conference on Ordered Sets,…
It is shown that the universal theory of the free pseudocomplemented distributive lattice is decidable and a recursive axiomatization is presented. This contrasts with the case of the full elementary theory of the finitely generated free…
