In this paper, we provide generating functions and counting formulas for spanning trees and spanning forests in hypergraphs in two different ways: (1) We represent spanning trees and spanning forests in hypergraphs through Berezin-Grassmann integrals on Zeon algebra and hyper-Hafnians (orders and signs are not considered); (2) We establish a Hyper-Pfaffian-Cactus Spanning Forest Theorem through Berezin-Grassmann integrals on Grassmann algebra (orders and signs are considered), which generalizes the Hyper-Pfaffian-Cactus Theorem by Abdesselam (2004) [1] and Pfaffian matrix tree theorem by Masbaum and Vaintrob (2002) [15]. • We provide generating functions and counting formulas for spanning trees and spanning forests in hypergraphs through Berezin-Grassmann integrals on Zeon algebra and hyper- Hafnians when orders and signs are not considered. • We establish a Hyper-Pfaffian-Cactus Spanning Forest Theorem through Berezin-Grassmann integrals on Grassmann algebra (orders and signs are considered), which generalizes the Hyper-Pfaffian-Cactus Theorem by Abdesselam [Advances in Applied Mathematics (2004) Vol. 33: 51-70] and Pfaffian matrix tree theorem by Masbaum and Vaintrob [Internat.

Text Let m be an integer with m ≥ 2 . For A ⊆ Z m and n ∈ Z m , let R 1 ( A , n ) , R 2 ( A , n ) , R 3 ( A , n ) denote the number of solutions of the equation a + a ′ = n with ordered pairs ( a , a ′ ) ∈ A × A , unordered pairs ( a , a ′ ) ∈ A × A ( a ≠ a ′ ) and unordered pairs ( a , a ′ ) ∈ A × A , respectively. In this paper, for i ∈ { 1 , 2 , 3 } , we determine all sets A , B ⊆ Z m such that R i ( A , n ) = R i ( B , n ) for all n ∈ Z m when the cardinality of the symmetric difference of A and B is small or large. These extend some previous results. We also pose some problems for further research. Video For a video summary of this paper, please visit https://youtu.be/stBa9Uy5U0I . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Text Let K be a complete, algebraically closed, non-Archimedean valued field, and let ϕ ∈ K ( z ) with deg ⁡ ( ϕ ) ≥ 2 . In this paper we consider the family of functions ord Res ϕ n ( x ) , which measure the resultant of ϕ n at points x in P K 1 , the Berkovich projective line, and show that they converge locally uniformly to the diagonal values of the Arakelov–Green's function g μ ϕ ( x , x ) attached to the canonical measure of ϕ . Following this, we are able to prove an equidistribution result for Rumely's crucial measures ν ϕ n , each of which is a probability measure supported at finitely many points whose weights are determined by dynamical properties of ϕ .

This paper tackles the history of tactics, a field of investigation at the crossroads of algebra, combinatorics and recreational mathematics. Tactics was only taken up by mathematicians now and then between the 1850s and the 1900s, and its emergence was a process of mathematization of questions linked to the notions of “order” and “position”. To understand the long-term history of this field of investigation—one that became neither a theory nor a discipline—the paper analyzes the different historical configurations in which tactics took on its scientific meaning. It thus investigates how, under the banner of tactics, a continuity could be claimed by mathematicians that were, finally, working in very different scientific and historical context.

This paper is devoted to the conception of mathematical objects and methods according to d'Alembert. We first recall his vision of the place of mathematics in the knowledge of nature, then the internal hierarchy of the various fields of this science, based on their degree of abstraction from sensations (§1 and 2). Then we come to the ideas of definitions, primitive ideas , simple ideas , and their generation as well as their generalization (§3 and 4). Then, having looked at what he means by quantities, numbers, quantities, as well as his conception of the objects and rules of algebra as abstract ideas by generalization (§5), we approach the question of the reality of mathematical objects with the example of the irrational (§6). The following paragraphs of the text are devoted to the difficulties encountered in various fields and the way d'Alembert tries to solve them: algebra and negative quantities (§7); principles of geometry (§8); the notion of limit as the basis of infinitesimal calculus (§9). His reflections, even if unfinished, were not without posterity (§10). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract The growth of tropical geometry has generated significant interest in the tropical semiring in the past decade. However, there are other semirings in tropical algebra that provide more information, such as the symmetrized (max ⁡ , +) , Izhakian's extended and Izhakian–Rowen's supertropical semirings. In this paper we identify in which of these upper-bound semirings we can express symmetric polynomials in terms of elementary ones. We show that in the case of idempotent semirings we can do this precisely when the Frobenius property is satisfied, that in the case of supertropical semirings this is always possible, and that in non-trivial symmetrized semirings this is never possible. Our results allow us to determine the tropical algebra semirings where an analogue of the Fundamental Theorem of Symmetric Polynomials holds and to what extent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract In this paper, we study the representation theory of the Fuss–Catalan algebras, FC n (a , b). We prove that this algebra is cellular with a cellular basis and forms a tower of recollement, as defined by Cox, Martin, Parker, and Xi [7] , and hence, it is quasi-hereditary algebra if a , b are non-zero complex numbers.

In this paper we deal with a problem of Pethő related to existence of a quartic algebraic integer α for which β = 4 α 4 α 4 − 1 − α α − 1 is a quadratic algebraic number. By studying rational solutions of certain Diophantine system we prove that there are infinitely many α 's such that the corresponding β is quadratic. Moreover, we present a description of quartic numbers α such that the corresponding β is a quadratic real number. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper ideals of certain group algebra are used to prove results on k -normal elements over finite fields, including ways to determine them from normal elements by means of polynomials and circulant matrices. Alternative proofs of results appearing in [4] are also provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Solving a well-known problem of Maharam, Talagrand [18] constructed an exhaustive non uniformly exhaustive submeasure, thus also providing the first example of a Maharam algebra that is not a measure algebra. To each exhaustive submeasure one can canonically assign a certain countable ordinal, its exhaustivity rank. In this paper, we use carefully constructed Schreier families and norms derived from them to provide examples of exhaustive submeasures of arbitrary high exhaustivity rank. This gives rise to uncountably many non isomorphic separable atomless Maharam algebras. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper Seidel matrices are studied, and their spectrum and several related algebraic properties are determined for order n ≤ 13 . Based on this Seidel matrices with exactly three distinct eigenvalues of order n ≤ 23 are classified. One consequence of the computational results is that the maximum number of equiangular lines in R 12 with common angle 1 ∕ 5 is exactly 20 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let F q denote the finite field of order q . In this paper, some new classes of permutation polynomials of the form ( x p m − x + δ ) s + x over F p 2 m are obtained by determining the number of solutions of certain equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we propose a class of permutation polynomials over the finite field F 2 2 m for odd m . These permutations are generally quadrinomials, and some permutation trinomials can also be obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we prove that the expected number of points in F q 2 of multiplicity m , for 0 ≤ m ≤ q + 1 , with respect to a randomly chosen arrangement of q + 1 lines with different slopes, is ( 1 / ( m ! e ) ) q 2 + O ( q ) , as q → ∞ . We further state that the distance between the number of such points in a randomly chosen arrangement and ( 1 / ( m ! e ) ) q 2 is lower than q ln ⁡ q with probability close to 1 for large q .

In this paper, we study the polynomial Gauss sums over finite fields, and present an analogue of Davenport–Hasse's theorem for the polynomial Gauss sums, which is a generalization of the previous result obtained by Hayes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let B be a finite set of natural numbers or complex numbers. Product set corresponding to B is defined by B . B : = { a b : a , b ∈ B } . In this paper we give an upper bound for longest length of consecutive terms of a polynomial sequence present in a product set accurate up to a positive constant. We give a sharp bound on the maximum number of Fibonacci numbers present in a product set when B is a set of natural numbers and a bound which is accurate up to a positive constant when B is a set of complex numbers.

In this paper we focus on finding all the factorials expressible as a product of a fixed number of 2 k -nacci numbers with k ≥ 2 . We derive the 2-adic valuation of the 2 k -nacci sequence and use it to establish bounds on the solutions of the initial equation. In addition, we specify a more general family of sequences, for which we can perform a similar procedure. We also investigate a possible connection of these results with p -regular sequences.

In this paper, we consider an indefinite fractional elliptic problem. A corresponding Liouville-type theorem is established. Furthermore, we obtain a priori estimate for solutions in a bounded domain by blowing-up and rescaling. We also classify the solutions of some degenerate elliptic equation originated from the fractional Laplacian. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper deals with homogenization of Navier–Stokes-type system describing electrorheological fluid with random characteristics. Under non-standard growth conditions we construct the homogenized model and prove the convergence result. The structure of the limit equations is also studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let R be a ring and let A be a finite projective R -algebra of rank n . Manjul Bhargava and Matthew Satriano have recently constructed an R -algebra G ( A / R ) , the Galois closure of A / R . Many natural questions were asked at the end of their paper. Here we address one of these questions, proving the existence of the natural constructions they call intermediate S n -closures. We will also study properties of these constructions, generalizing some of their results, and proving new results both on the intermediate S n -closures and on G ( A / R ) . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The central theme of the paper is the specialization of algebraic function field extensions. Our main results are Tchebotarev type theorems for Galois function field extensions, finite or infinite, over various base fields: under some conditions, we extend the classical finite field case to number fields, p -adic fields, PAC fields, function fields κ ( x ) , etc. We also compare the Tchebotarev conclusion – existence of unramified local specializations with Galois group any cyclic subgroup of the generic Galois group (up to conjugation) – to the Hilbert specialization property. For a function field extension with the Tchebotarev property, the exponent of the Galois group is bounded by the l.c.m. of the local specialization degrees. Local–global questions arise for which we provide answers, examples and counter-examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the homological determinants and Nakayama automorphisms of not-necessarily-noetherian m -Koszul twisted Calabi–Yau or, equivalently, m -Koszul Artin–Schelter regular, algebras. Dubois-Violette showed that such an algebra is isomorphic to a derivation quotient algebra D ( w , i ) for a unique-up-to-scalar-multiples twisted superpotential w . By definition, D ( w , i ) is the quotient of the tensor algebra TV , where V = D ( w , i ) 1 , by ( ∂ i w ) , the ideal generated by all i -th-order left partial derivatives of w . The restriction map σ ↦ σ | V is used to identify the group of graded algebra automorphisms of D ( w , i ) with a subgroup of GL ( V ) . We show that the homological determinant of a graded algebra automorphism σ of an m -Koszul Artin–Schelter regular algebra D ( w , i ) is given by the formula hdet ( σ ) w = σ ⊗ ( m + i ) ( w ) . It follows from this that the homological determinant of the Nakayama automorphism of an m -Koszul Artin–Schelter regular algebra is 1. As an application, we prove that the homological determinant and the usual determinant coincide for most quadratic noetherian Artin–Schelter regular algebras of dimension 3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let M be a finitely generated module over a Noetherian local ring. This paper reports, for a given parameter ideal Q for M , a criterion for the equality g s ( Q ; M ) = hdeg Q ( M ) − e Q 0 ( M ) − T Q 1 ( M ) , where g s ( Q ; M ) , hdeg Q ( M ) , e Q 0 ( M ) , and T Q 1 ( M ) respectively denote the sectional genus, the homological degree, the multiplicity, and the homological torsion of M with respect to Q .

In this paper, we give an algebraic construction of a new infinite family of Cameron–Liebler line classes with parameter x = q 2 − 1 2 for q ≡ 5 or 9 ( mod 12 ) , which generalizes the examples found by Rodgers in [26] through a computer search. Furthermore, in the case where q is an even power of 3, we construct the first infinite family of affine two-intersection sets in AG ( 2 , q ) , which is closely related to our Cameron–Liebler line classes.
