We construct a $\wedge$-homogeneous universal simple matroid of rank $3$, i.e. a countable simple rank~$3$ matroid $M_*$ which $\wedge$-embeds every finite simple rank $3$ matroid, and such that every isomorphism between finite…
In continuation to our recent work on noncommutative polynomial factorization, we consider the factorization problem for matrices of polynomials and show the following results. (1) Given as input a full rank $d\times d$ matrix $M$ whose…
A matroid $M$ is an ordered pair $(E,I)$, where $E$ is a finite set called the ground set and a collection $I\subset 2^{E}$ called the independent sets which satisfy the conditions: (i) $\emptyset \in I$, (ii) $I'\subset I \in I$ implies…
We study point-line configurations, their minimal matroids, and their associated circuit varieties. We present an algorithm for identifying the minimal matroids of these configurations with respect to dependency order, or equivalently, the…
In this paper, we study the classes of rings in which every proper (regular) ideal can be factored as an invertible ideal times a nonempty product of proper radical ideals. More precisely, we investigate the stability of these properties…
The foundation of a matroid is a canonical algebraic invariant which classifies representations of the matroid up to rescaling equivalence. Foundations of matroids are pastures, a simultaneous generalization of partial fields and…
Given a Noetherian ring $A$, the collection of all integrally closed ideals in $A$ which contain a nonzerodivisor, denoted $ic(A)$, forms a cancellative monoid under the operation $I*J=\overline{IJ}$, the integral closure of the product.…
The Dold$-$Thom theorem states that for a sufficiently nice topological space, M, there is an isomorphism between the homotopy groups of the infinite symmetric product of M and the homology groups of M itself. The crux of most known proofs…
We examine the completely isometric automorphisms of a free product of noncommutative disc algebras. It will be established that such an automorphism is given simply by a completely isometric automorphism of each component of the free…
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is the problem of decomposing a given nonnegative $n \times m$ matrix $M$ into a product of a nonnegative $n \times d$ matrix $W$ and a nonnegative $d \times m$ matrix $H$. Restricted NMF requires in…
A natural definition of the product of infinite matrices mimics the usual formulation of multiplication of finite matrices with the caveat (in the absence of any sense of convergence) that the intersection of the support of each row of the…
Given an isolated, quasi-homogeneous singularity $X$ we prove that there is a group isomorphism between the group of rank one reflexive sheaves on $X$ and the free abelian group generated by $\mathbb{C}^*$-divisors, modulo linear…
For a matroid $M$, its configuration determines its $\mathcal{G}$-invariant. Few examples are known of pairs of matroids with the same $\mathcal{G}$-invariant but different configurations. In order to produce new examples, we introduce the…
A clutter consists of a finite set and a collection of pairwise incomparable subsets. Clutters are natural generalisations of matroids, and they have similar operations of deletion and contraction. We introduce a notion of connectivity for…
In this paper we study the interplay between the operation of circuit-hyperplane relaxation and the Kazhdan--Lusztig theory of matroids. We obtain a family of polynomials, not depending on the matroids but only on their ranks, that relate…
We prove that certain free products of factors of type ${\rm I}$ and other von Neumann algebras with respect to nontracial, almost periodic states are almost periodic free Araki-Woods factors. In particular, they have the free absorption…
A flat cover is a collection of flats identifying the non-bases of a matroid. We introduce the notion of cover complexity, the minimal size of such a flat cover, as a measure for the complexity of a matroid, and present bounds on the number…
The problem of finding the minimum rank of a matrix with a given zero-nonzero pattern has been generalized to a class of matroids associated to the pattern. The fundamental lower bound known as the triangle number still holds in this…
Let K be a field, let R=K[x_1,..., x_m] be a polynomial ring with the standard Z^m-grading (multigrading), let L be a Noetherian multigraded R-module, and let F: E --> G be a finite free multigraded presentation of L over R. Given a choice…
Let $M$ be an arbitrary matroid with circuits $\mathcal{C}(M)$. We propose a definition of a derived matroid $\delta M$ that has as its ground set $\mathcal{C}(M)$. Unlike previous attempts of such a definition, our definition applies to…
