Unimodal (i.e. single-humped) permutations may be decomposed into a product of disjoint cycles. Some enumerative results concerning their cyclic structure -- e.g. 2/3 of them contain fixed points -- are given. We also obtain in effect a…

Downarowicz and Maass (2008) have shown that every Cantor minimal homeomorphism with finite topological rank $K > 1$ is expansive. Bezuglyi, Kwiatkowski, and Medynets (2009) extended the result to non-minimal aperiodic cases. In this paper,…

We describe the invariant metrics on real flag manifolds and classify those with the following property: every geodesic is the orbit of a one-parameter subgroup. Such a metric is called g.o. (geodesic orbit). In contrast to the complex…

We consider a general symplectic transformation (also known as linear canonical transformation) of quantum-mechanical observables in a quantized version of a finite-dimensional system with configuration space isomorphic to $ \mathbb{R}^{q}…

In this article, we give a unified proof of the end-point estimates of the totally-geodesic $k$-plane transform of radial functions on spaces of constant curvature. The problem of getting end-point estimates is not new and some results are…

A new class of distributional transformations is introduced, characterized by equations relating function weighted expectations of test functions on a given distribution to expectations of the transformed distribution on the test function's…

The main result concerns a bicategorical factorization system on the bicategory $\mathrm{Cat}$ of categories and functors. Each functor $A\xra{f} B$ factors up to isomorphism as $A\xra{j}E\xra{p}B$ where $j$ is what we call an ultimate…

We study random typical minimal factorizations of the $n$-cycle into transpositions, which are factorizations of $(1, \ldots,n)$ as a product of $n-1$ transpositions. By viewing transpositions as chords of the unit disk and by reading them…

We introduce the notion of quantum duplicates of an (associative, unital) algebra, motivated by the problem of constructing toy-models for quantizations of certain configuration spaces in quantum mechanics. The proposed (algebraic) model…

A Radon-type transform called a cone transform that assigns to a given function its integral over various sets of cones has arisen in the last decade in the context of the study of Compton cameras used in Single Photon Emission Computed…

We investigate the theory of finite observables, i.e., resolutions of the finite-dimensional identity by means of positive operators, that have a physical interpretation in terms of measurement schemes. We focus on extremal and rank-one…

Every isometry of a finite dimensional euclidean space is a product of reflections and the minimum length of a reflection factorization defines a metric on its full isometry group. In this article we identify the structure of intervals in…

A skew morphism of a finite group $B$ is a permutation of $B$ fixing the identity and satisfying $\varphi(xy) = \varphi(x)\varphi^{i_x}(y)$ for some integers $i_x$ indexed by $x \in B$. The enumeration of skew morphisms of finite cyclic…

In this paper we consider endomorphisms of a finite directed path from monoid generators perspective. Our main aim is to determine the rank of the monoid $\wEnd\vec{P}_n$ of all weak endomorphisms of a directed path with $n$ vertices, which…

We study combinatorial and asymptotic properties of the rank of strongly unimodal sequences. We find a generating function for the rank enumeration function, and give a new combinatorial interpretation of the ospt-function introduced by…

A topologically-invariant and additive homology class is mostly not a natural transformation as it is. In this paper we discuss turning such a homology class into a natural transformation; i.e., a "categorification" of it. In a general…

Let $K$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. We study a certain class of functions $K\rightarrow K$ that agree with an $\mathbb{F}_p$-affine function $K\rightarrow K$ on each coset of a given additive subgroup $W$ of $K$ - we call them…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $c(G)$ be the number of cyclic subgroups of $G$. We study the function $\alpha(G) = c(G)/|G|$. We explore its basic properties and we point out a connection with the probability of commutation. For many…

We show that the only random orderings of finite graphs that are invariant under isomorphism and induced subgraph are the uniform random orderings. We show how this implies the unique ergodicity of the automorphism group of the random…

We study the spectral disjointness of the powers of a rank-one transformation. For a large class of rank-one constructions, including those for which the cutting and stacking parameters are bounded, and other examples such as rigid…
