Let $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma, \dots$ $\Theta$, $\Psi, \dots$ $R$, $S$, $T, \dots$ be variables for, respectively, congruences, tolerances and reflexive admissible relations. Let juxtaposition denote intersection. We show that if the…

We study a generalization of the discriminant of a polynomial, which we call the tolerant. The tolerant differs by multiplication by a square from the duplicant, which was discovered in recent work on $\mathbb{P}^1$-loop spaces in motivic…

The irreducible decomposition of a unitary representation often contains continuous spectrum when restricted to a non-compact subgroup. The author singles out a nice class of branching problems where each irreducible summand occurs…

Let L denote the variety of lattices. In 1982, the second author proved that L is strongly tolerance factorable, that is, the members of L have quotients in L modulo tolerances, although L has proper tolerances. We did not know any other…

Approximate expressions for X-ray resonant and M\"ossbauer reflectivity in the total external reflection region are developed for the limiting cases of a semiinfinite mirror with a small resonant addition to the total susceptibility and for…

In this note, we discuss the flexibility of Schubert classes in homogeneous varieties. We give several constructions for representing multiples of a Schubert class by irreducible subvarieties. We sharpen [R, Theorem 3.1] by proving that…

We continue our study of Hilbert space representations of the Reflection Equation Algebra, again focusing on the algebra constructed from the $R$-matrix associated to the $q$-deformation of $GL(N,\mathbb{C})$ for $0<q<1$. We develop a form…

We construct C-algebras for a class of surfaces that are inverse images of certain polynomials of arbitrary degree. By using the directed graph associated to a matrix, the representation theory can be understood in terms of ``loop'' and…

We show that a subdirectly irreducible *-regular ring admits a representation within some inner product space provided so does its ortholattice of projections.

We discuss representations of the projective line over a ring $R$ with 1 in a projective space over some (not necessarily commutative) field $K$. Such a representation is based upon a $(K,R)$-bimodule $U$. The points of the projective line…

We completely characterize orbit reflexivity and R-orbit reflexivity for square matrices over the real numbers. Unlike the complex case in which every matrix is orbit reflexive and C-orbit reflexivity is characterized solely in terms of the…

We give a classification of irreducible admissible modulo $p$ representations of a split $p$-adic reductive group in terms of supersingular representations. This is a generalization of a theorem of Herzig.

We give a reciprocity formula for a two-variable sum where the variables satisfy a linear congruence condition. We also prove that such sum is a measure of how well a rational is approximable from below and show that the reciprocity formula…

A compact classification of the projective lines defined over (commutative) rings (with unity) of all orders up to thirty-one is given. There are altogether sixty-five different types of them. For each type we introduce the total number of…

It is easy to show that a pseudovariety which is reducible with respect to an implicit signature $\sigma$ for the equation $x=y$ can also be defined by $\sigma$-identities. We present several negative examples for the converse using…

For semisimple Lie superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, whose category of finite dimensional super representations is semisismple, we classify all irreducible super representations for which the…

A general approach to the well-behaved unbounded *-representations of a *-algebra X is proposed. Let B be a normed *-algebra equipped with a left action |> of X on B such that (x |> a)^+ b=a^+(x^+ |> b) for a,b\in B and x\in X. Then the…

We present a novel, type-logical analysis of_polarity sensitivity_: how negative polarity items (like "any" and "ever") or positive ones (like "some") are licensed or prohibited. It takes not just scopal relations but also linear order into…

We show how a polar representation of a compact connected Lie group can be linearly determined from its dimension and isotropy subgroup data in the general reducible case.

We classify globally irreducible representations of alternating groups and double covers of symmetric and alternating groups. In order to achieve this classification we also completely characterise irreducible representations of such groups…
