We study and compare two factorisation systems for surjective homomorphisms in the category of quandles. The first one is induced by the adjunction between quandles and trivial quandles, and a precise description of the two classes of…

An extension of the Dirac procedure for the quantization of constrained systems is necessary to address certain issues that are left open in Dirac's original proposal. These issues play an important role especially in the context of…

We introduce a framework allowing for key aspects of deformation/rigidity theory to be used in the study of continuous model theory of II$_1$ factors. Using this framework, we solve several well-known open problems in the area. For example,…

This document reports on the use of an algebraic, visual, formal approach to the specification of patterns for the formalization of the GoF design patterns. The approach is based on graphs, morphisms and operations from category theory and…

For linear operators which factor with suitable assumptions concerning commutativity of the factors, we introduce several notions of a decomposition. When any of these hold then questions of null space and range are subordinated to the same…

This article provides a gentle introduction for a general mathematical audience to the factorization theory of motion polynomials and its application in mechanism science. This theory connects in a rather unexpected way a seemingly abstract…

Several physics-based algorithms for factorizing large number were recently published. A notable recent one by Schleich et al. uses Gauss sums for distinguishing between factors and non-factors. We demonstrate two NMR techniques that…

Philosophers have spilled much ink over the discovery of ideas in the classical 'context of discovery'. However, there has been little engagement with the question of what constitutes a discovery of 'things in the world'. A much-overlooked…

In this paper we develop the theory of strongly singular subalgebras of von Neumann algebras, begun in earlier work. We mainly examine the situation of type $\tto$ factors arising from countable discrete groups. We give simple criteria for…

This paper addresses the factorization of polynomials of the form $F(x) = f_{0}(x) + f_{1}(x) x^{n} + \cdots + f_{r-1}(x) x^{(r-1)n} + f_{r}(x) x^{rn}$ where $r$ is a fixed positive integer and the $f_{j}(x)$ are fixed polynomials in…

We follow the approach developed by Beilinson-Lusztig-MacPherson and modified by Fu and the first author to investigate a new realization for the i-quantum groups U^j(n) of type B, building on the multiplication formulas discovered in…

We develop the algebraic polynomial theory for "supertropical algebra," as initiated earlier over the real numbers by the first author. The main innovation there was the introduction of "ghost elements," which also play the key role in our…

In order to figure out why quantum physics needs the complex Hilbert space, many attempts have been made to distinguish the C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras in more general classes of abstractly defined Jordan algebras (JB- and…

In 1896, Dedekind posed the problem of factoring the group determinant in the non-abelian case to Frobenius, whose solution sparked the birth of finite-group representation theory. Several decades earlier, Cayley introduced the notion of…

In this paper we discuss the relevance of the algebraic approach to quantum phenomena first introduced by von Neumann before he confessed to Birkoff that he no longer believed in Hilbert space. This approach is more general and allows us to…

Let $\mathscr{M}$ be a $II_1$ factor acting on the Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$, and $\mathscr{M}_{\textrm{aff}}$ be the Murray-von Neumann algebra of closed densely-defined operators affiliated with $\mathscr{M}$. Let $\tau$ denote the…

Although in general there is no meaningful concept of factorization in fields, that in free associative algebras (over a commutative field) can be extended to their respective free field (universal field of fractions) on the level of…

We describe an algorithm for the factorization of non-commutative polynomials over a field. The first sketch of this algorithm appeared in an unpublished manuscript (literally hand written notes) by James H. Davenport more than 20 years…

P. Aluffi introduced in [1] a new graded algebra in order to conveniently express characteristic cycles in the theory of singular varieties. This algebra is attached to a surjective ring homomorphism $A\surjects B$ by taking a suitable…

In a recent paper (Del Sol Mesa A and Quesne C 2000 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 33 4059), we started a systematic study of the connections among different factorization types, suggested by Infeld and Hull, and of their consequences for the…
