In [4] we developed the theory of positive cones on finite-dimensional simple algebras with involution, inspired by the classical Artin-Schreier theory of orderings on fields, and based on the notion of signatures of hermitian forms [1]. In…

In this paper, we give a combinatorial proof of a positivity result of Chern related to Andrews's $\mathcal{EO}^*$-type partitions. This combinatorial proof comes after reframing Chern's result in terms of copartitions. Using this new…

In this paper, we characterize several properties of commutative notherian local rings in terms of the left perpendicular category of the category of finitely generated modules of finite projective dimension. As an application we prove that…

Let $A$ be a separable simple exact ${\cal Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebra. We show that the unitay group of ${\tilde A}$ has the cancellation property. If $A$ has continuous scale, the Cuntz semigroup of $\tilde A$ has the strict comparison…

We present degrees of freedom to accompany the approximation spaces already presented in a companion paper and thus complete the definition of families of high-order conforming finite elements on pyramids for the spaces of the de Rham…

Given a non-associative unital ring $R$, a monoid $G$ and a set $\pi$ of additive maps $R \rightarrow R$, we introduce the Ore monoid ring $R[\pi ; G]$, and, in a special case, the differential monoid ring. We show that these structures…

L\'evai and Pyber proposed the following as a conjecture: Let $G$ be a profinite group such that the set of solutions of the equation $x^n=1$ has positive Haar measure. Then $G$ has an open subgroup $H$ and an element $t$ such that all…

In this paper, we provide a Hodge-theoretic interpretation of Laurent phenomenon for general skew-symmetric quantum cluster algebras, using Donaldson-Thomas theory for a quiver with potential. It turns out that the positivity conjecture…

We provide a pure algebraic version of the dynamical characterization of Conrad's property. This approach allows dealing with general group actions on totally ordered spaces. As an application, we give a new and somehow constructive proof…

Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of characteristic $p>0$, such that $\dim(A)=d$. Let $P$ be a projective $A[T_1,...,T_n]$-module of rank $d$. We show that $P$ is cancellative if and only if $P/<T_1,...,T_n>P$ is cancellative. We…

Paul Erd\H{o}s and R. Daniel Mauldin asked a series of questions on certain types of polygons of area $1$, the vertices of which can be found in every planar set of infinite Lebesgue measure. We address two of these questions, one on cyclic…

We obtain a partial classification of the finite groups $G$ for which the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ has projective cancellation, i.e. for which $P \oplus \mathbb{Z} G \cong Q \oplus \mathbb{Z} G$ implies $P \cong Q$ for projective…

In this paper, we provide an equivalent condition for the Chvatal-Gomory (CG) closure of a closed convex set to be finitely-generated. Using this result, we are able to prove that, for any closed convex set that can be written as the…

We investigate the generalized moment membership problem for matrices, a formulation equivalent to Skolem's problem for linear recurrence sequences. We show decidability for orthogonal, unitary, and real eigenvalue matrices, and…

To a simplicial complex, we associate a square-free monomial ideal in the polynomial ring generated by its vertex set over a field. We study algebraic properties of this ideal via combinatorial properties of the simplicial complex. By…

We demonstrate bending of light on the same side of the normal in a free standing corrugated metal film under bi-directional illumination. Coherent perfect absorption (CPA) is exploited to suppress the specular zeroth order leading to…

In 2006, Fock and Goncharov constructed a nice basis of the ring of regular functions on the moduli space of framed ${\rm PGL}_2$-local systems on a punctured surface $S$. The moduli space is birational to a cluster $\mathcal{X}$-variety,…

Many classical ring-theoretic results state that an ideal that is maximal with respect to satisfying a special property must be prime. We present a "Prime Ideal Principle" that gives a uniform method of proving such facts, generalizing the…

We say a completely positive contractive map between two C*-algebras has order zero, if it sends orthogonal elements to orthogonal elements. We prove a structure theorem for such maps. As a consequence, order zero maps are in one-to-one…

The main result can be given a short and elementary proof which has been incorporated into Lemma 3.2 of arXiv:1206.5775
