The syntactic complexity of a regular language is the size of its syntactic semigroup. This semigroup is isomorphic to the transition semigroup of the minimal deterministic finite automaton accepting the language, that is, to the semigroup…

Let $(L_n^{(k)})_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the sequence of $k$-generalized Lucas numbers for some fixed integer $k\ge 2$, whose first $k$ terms are $0,\;\ldots\;,\;0,\;2,\;1$ and each term afterward is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms. In this…

Color-factor symmetry is used to derive a KLT-type relation for tree-level QCD amplitudes containing gluons and an arbitrary number of massive or massless quark-antiquark pairs, generalizing the expression for Yang-Mills amplitudes…

Let $C(n)$ denote the number of permutations $\sigma$ of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ such that $\gcd(j,\sigma(j))=1$ for each $j\in[n]$. We prove that for $n$ sufficiently large, $n!/3.73^n < C(n) < n!/2.5^n$.

We propose a new integral formula for all tree-level scattering amplitudes of N=6 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory. It resembles the Roiban-Spradlin-Volovich-Witten formula for N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory based on a twistor…

We present several infinite series of synchronizing automata for which the minimum length of reset words is close to the square of the number of states. All these automata are tightly related to primitive digraphs with large exponent.

Let $F= < a,b>$ be a rank two free group. A word $W(a,b)$ in $F$ is {\sl primitive} if it, along with another group element, generates the group. It is a {\sl palindrome} (with respect to $a$ and $b$) if it reads the same forwards and…

Calculations of high multiplicity Higgs amplitudes exhibit a rapid growth that may signal an end of perturbative behavior or even the need for new physics phenomena. As a step towards this problem we consider the quantum mechanical…

We prove simplicity for incomplete rank 2 Kac-Moody groups over algebraic closures of finite fields with trivial commutation relations between root groups corresponding to prenilpotent pairs. We don't use the (yet unknown) simplicity of the…

QCD lattice simulations yield hadron masses as functions of the quark masses. From the gradients of the hadron masses the sigma terms can then be determined. We consider here dynamical 2+1 flavour simulations, in which we start from a point…

A permutation group is {\it binary} if its orbits on $k$-tuples, for any integer $k\geq 2$, can be deduced from its orbits on $2$-tuples. Cherlin conjectured that a finite primitive binary permutation group $G$ must lie in one of three…

We study multiplicative dependence between terms of the $k$-generalized Pell sequence $(P_n^{(k)})_{n\ge 2-k}$, defined by the linear recurrence \[ P_n^{(k)} = 2P_{n-1}^{(k)} + P_{n-2}^{(k)} + \dots + P_{n-k}^{(k)}, \] with initial…

We introduce the primitivity of Fricke families, and give some examples. As its application, we first construct generators of the function field of the modular curve of level $N$ in terms of Fricke functions and Siegel functions,…

We define a new congruence relation on the set of integers, leading to a group similar to the multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$. It makes use of a symmetry almost omnipresent in modular multiplications and halves the number of…

Every synchronising permutation group is primitive and of one of three types: affine, almost simple, or diagonal. We exhibit the first known example of a synchronising diagonal type group. More precisely, we show that…

We study the random composition of a small family of O(n^3) simple permutations on {0,1}^n. Specifically we ask how many randomly selected simple permutations need be composed to yield a permutation that is close to k-wise independent. We…

We consider $3d$ $\mathcal{N}\!=\!2$ gauge theories with fundamental matter plus a single field in a rank-$2$ representation. Using iteratively a process of "deconfinement" of the rank-$2$ field, we produce a sequence of Seiberg-dual quiver…

Infinitely many large Schur sigma-groups G with non-elementary bicyclic commutator quotient G/G' = C(3^e) x C(3), e >= 2, are constructed as periodic sequences of vertices in descendant trees of finite 3-groups. A single root gives rise to…

In last couple years, an important relation (BCJ relation) between color-ordered tree-level scattering amplitudes of gauge theory has inspired many studies. This relation implies that the minimal basis for the color-ordered tree-level…

A transitive permutation group is semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is transitive or semiregular. Interest in this class of groups is motivated by two sources: problems arising in universal algebra related to collapsing monoids…
