In this paper, we introduce the category of blueprints, which is a category of algebraic objects that include both commutative (semi)rings and commutative monoids. This generalization allows a simultaneous treatment of ideals resp.\…
Semigraphoids are combinatorial structures that arise in statistical learning theory. They are equivalent to convex rank tests and to polyhedral fans that coarsen the reflection arrangement of the symmetric group. We resolve two problems on…
We verify the Landau-Ginzburg Mirror Symmetry Conjecture for Arnol'd's list of unimodal and bimodal quasi-homogeneous singularities with G the maximal diagonal symmetry group, and include a discussion of eight axioms which facilitate the…
We study generalized inverses on semigroups by means of Green's relations. We first define the notion of inverse along an element and study its properties. Then we show that the classical generalized inverses (group inverse, Drazin inverse…
This paper is a contribution to Vinberg's theory of $\theta$-groups, or in other words, to Invariant Theory of periodically graded semisimple Lie algebras. One of our main tools is Springer's theory of regular elements of finite reflection…
We describe several technical tools that prove to be efficient for investigating the rewrite systems associated with a family of algebraic laws, and might be useful for more general rewrite systems. These tools consist in introducing a…
Any permutation has a disjoint cycle decomposition and concept generates an equivalence class on the symmetry group called the cycle-type. The main focus of this work is on permutations of restricted cycle-types, with particular emphasis on…
This is a survey article on mirror symmetry and Fourier-Mukai partners of Calabi-Yau threefolds with Picard number one based on recent works by the authors [HoTa1,2,3,4]. For completeness, mirror symmetry and Fourier-Mukai partners of K3…
Cayley's theorem tells us that all groups $\mathbf{G}$ occur as subgroups of the group of automorphisms over some set $X$. In this paper we consider a `sort-of' converse to this question: given a set $X$ and some transformation group…
We give an algebraic characterisation of ordered groupoids, namely, we show that there is a categorical isomophism between the category of ordered groupoids and the category of $D$-inverse constellations. Here constellations are partial…
We derive two geometric approaches to categorification of quantum invariants of links associated to an arbitrary compact simple Lie group $^L{G}$. In part I, we describe the first approach, based on an equivariant derived category of…
A new picture of Quantum Mechanics based on the theory of groupoids is presented. This picture provides the mathematical background for Schwinger's algebra of selective measurements and helps to understand its scope and eventual…
This paper introduces a notion of presentation for locally inverse semigroups and develops a graph structure to describe the elements of locally inverse semigroups given by these presentations. These graphs will have a role similar to the…
We present a one-dimensional scattering theory which enables us to describe a wealth of effects arising from the coupling of the motional degree of freedom of scatterers to the electromagnetic field. Multiple scattering to all orders is…
This is the first in a sequence of papers that will develop the theory of automorphisms of nonsolvable finite groups. The sequence will culminate in a new proof of McBride's Nonsolvable Signalizer Functor Theorem, which is one of the…
The two discrete generators of the full Lorentz group $O(1,3)$ in $4D$ spacetime are typically chosen to be parity inversion symmetry $P$ and time reversal symmetry $T$, which are responsible for the four topologically separate components…
We prove that the focal set generated by the reflection of a point source off a translation invariant surface consists of two sets: a curve and a surface. The focal curve lies in the plane orthogonal to the symmetry direction containing the…
Inspired by the results of [R. Adin, A. Postnikov, Y. Roichman, Combinatorial Gelfand model, preprint math.RT arXiv:0709.3962], we propose combinatorial Gelfand models for semigroup algebras of some finite semigroups, which include the…
Using the group-theoretical point of view we study in this paper second and third order repetitive achromats with a mirror symmetric or mirror antisymmetric basic cell and compare these achromats with repetitive achromats designed without…
In this note, we define the Burnside ring of a monoid, generalizing the construction for groups. After giving foundational definitions, we characterize transitive M-sets and their automorphisms, then prove a structure theorem for a broad…
