In this Master of Science Thesis I introduce geometric algebra both from the traditional geometric setting of vector spaces, and also from a more combinatorial view which simplifies common relations and operations. This view enables us to…
Recently, a geometrical characterization of vector spaces served to generalize them into a new class of algebras. Instead of the algebraic properties of the underlying fields, we generalized the recently discovered property of such spaces…
The notion of associativity (which differs from the straightforward generalization of the usual associativity given by the move of parentheses in the relevant expression) for operations of high arity is introduced. It is proved that the…
Algorithmic computation in polynomial rings is a classical topic in mathematics. However, little attention has been given to the case of rings with an infinite number of variables until recently when theoretical efforts have made possible…
Experiment shows that the reverse length-lexicographical word ordering consistently yields far smaller Gr\"obner bases for modular p-group algebras than the length-lexicographical ordering. For the so-called Jennings word ordering, based on…
Developed by Buchberger for commutative polynomial rings, Groebner Bases are frequently applied to solve algorithmic problems, such as the congruence problem for ideals. Until now, these ideas have been transmitted to different in part…
There are two rather distinct approaches to Morse theory nowadays: smooth and discrete. We propose to study a real valued function by assembling all associated sections in a topological category. From this point of view, Reeb functions on…
We consider algebras with basis numerated by elements of a group $G.$ We fix a function $f$ from $G\times G$ to a ground field and give a multiplication of the algebra which depends on $f$. We study the basic properties of such algebras. In…
This document presents a combinatorial framework for analyzing assembly systems using generating functions. We explore the theory through concrete examples, such as linear polymers, and develop recursive equations to characterize valid…
In 20th century mathematics, the field of topology, which concerns the properties of geometric objects under continuous transformation, has proved surprisingly useful in application to the study of discrete mathematics, such as…
The numerical Hilbert series combinatorics and the comodule Hilbert series combinatorics are introduced, and some applications are presented, including the MacMahon Master Theorem.
In this tutorial, we provide an overview of many of the established combinatorial and algebraic tools of Schubert calculus, the modern area of enumerative geometry that encapsulates a wide variety of topics involving intersections of linear…
These are lecture notes for a course on the theory of Clifford algebras, with special emphasis on their wide range of applications in mathematics and physics. Clifford algebra is introduced both through a conventional tensor algebra…
In 1981, Andr\'e Joyal provided a combinatorial interpretation of the algebra of formal power series, a central gadget in the toolkit of enumerative combinatorics. In Joyal's theory of species of structures, combinatorial species (like…
This expository paper starts with a brief survey on the relation between partitions and surjections of sets, and then gives a quick introduction to the theories of incidence algebras, Segal groupoids and combinatorial species. The aim is to…
The algebraic method provides useful techniques to identify models in designs and to understand aliasing of polynomial models. The present note surveys the topic of Gr\"obner bases in experimental design and then describes the notion of…
Previous work by Mora and Sala provides the reduced Groebner basis of the ideal formed by the elementary symmetric polynomials in $n$ variables of degrees $k=1,\dots,n$, $\langle e_{1,n}(x), \dots, e_{n,n}(x) \rangle$. Haglund, Rhoades, and…
Gerstenhaber proved in 1961 that the unital algebra generated by a pair of commuting $d\times d$ matrices over a field has dimension at most $d$. It is an open problem whether the analogous statement is true for triples of matrices which…
We develop a systematic way for constructing bispectral algebras of commuting ordinary differential operators of any rank $N$. It combines and unifies the ideas of Duistermaat-Gr\"unbaum and Wilson. Our construction is completely…
In the second half of the 1920s, physicists and mathematicians introduced group theoretic methods into the recently invented ``new'' quantum mechanics. Group representations turned out to be a highly useful tool in spectroscopy and in…
