The invariant ring of pair of matrices

Let us consider the action of the general linear group $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ on the direct product $\mathcal{M}_n^d$
of $d$ copies of $\mathcal{M}_n$ by simultaneous conjugation sending $(X_1,\ldots, X_d)$ to $(gX_1g^{-1},\ldots,gX_dg^{-1})$
for any $g\in \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ . This induces an action of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ on the algebra $\mathbb{C}[\mathcal{M}_n^d]$ of polynomial
functions on $\mathcal{M}_n^d$. The algebra of invariants under this action, $\mathbb{C}[\mathcal{M}_n^d]^{\mathrm{GL}_n}$, is an important

The Grassmann convexity Shapiro-Shapiro conjecture

The Grassmann convexity conjecture by B. Shapiro and M. Shapiro admits
several equivalent formulations.
One of them gives a conjectural formula for the maximal total number
of real zeros of the consecutive Wronskians of an arbitrary
fundamental solution to a disconjugate linear ordinary differential
equation with real time.
Another formulation is in terms of convex curves in the nilpotent
lower triangular group.
There is a very elementary formulation in terms of lists of vectors in $\mathbb{R}^k$.

Coberturas por dominós de cilindros

Vamos considerar a conectividade de coberturas por dominós usando movimentos locais.
Em particular, nos concentraremos no movimento conhecido como flip, no qual dois dominós adjacentes são removidos e recolocados em outra posição.
Em dimensão 2, é possível ligar quaisquer duas coberturas de uma região simplesmente conexa por meio de uma sequência de flips.
No entanto, em dimensão 3, existem regiões simplesmente conexas onde flips não são suficientes para conectar qualquer par de coberturas.

Some recent developments in the study of fine rings

 

A ring (associative with identity) is called a fine ring if every nonzero element in it is the sum of a unit and a nilpotent element.  G. Cǎlugǎreanu and T.Y. Lam initiated the study of fine rings in  "Fine rings: a new class of simple rings.", J. Algebra Appl. (2016). In this talk, we review known results and discuss some new developments of this study.

On the stable equivalences between finite tensor categories

We aim to study Morita theory for tensor triangulated categories. For two finite tensor categories having no projective simple objects, we prove that their stable equivalence induced by an exact k-linear monoidal functor can be lifted to a tensor equivalence under some certain conditions.

Existence of finitely presented intersection-saturated groups

(This is joint work with J. Delgado and M. Roy) For two subgroups of a group, $H_1, H_2\leq G$, we can look at the eight possibilities for the finite/non-finite generability of $H_1$, $H_2$, and $H_1\cap H_2$. For example, all eight are possible in a free non-abelian group except one of them, expressing the well-known fact that free groups are Howson: intersection of two finitely generated subgroups is again finitely generated.

$\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{h})$-free modules and weight representations

The classification of simple modules for a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ seems beyond reach: it is complete only for $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$. However, some classes of simple $\mathfrak{g}$-modules are well understood, such the category of weight modules with finite dimensional weight spaces. Irreducible weight representations were classified due to the effort of S. Fernando and O. Mathieu.

On the strict topology of the multipliers of a JB$^*$-algebra

We introduce the Jordan-strict topology on the multipliers algebra of a JB*-algebra. In case that a C*-algebra $A$ is regarded as a JB*-algebra, the J-strict topology of $M(A)$ is precisely the well-studied C*-strict topology. We prove that every JB*-algebra A is J-strict dense in its multipliers algebra $M(A)$, and that the latter algebra is J-strict complete.

Application of Semi-Primitive Roots to the Computation of the Discrete Logarithm Modulo $2^{k}$

In 2004, Fit-Florea and Matula presented an algorithm for computing the discrete logarithm modulo  $2^{k}$ with logarithmic base 3. The algorithm is suitable for hardware support of applications where fast arithmetic computation is desirable.

Transposed Poisson structures on Block and Witt type Lie algebras

A transposed Poisson algebra  is a triple $(\mathcal{L},\cdot,[\cdot,\cdot])$ consisting of a vector space $\mathcal{L}$ with two bilinear operations $\cdot$ and $[\cdot,\cdot]$, such that

1. $(\mathcal{L},\cdot)$ is a commutative associative algebra;
2. $(\mathcal{L},[\cdot,\cdot])$ is a Lie algebra;
3. the "transposed" Leibniz law holds: $2z\cdot [x,y]=[z\cdot x,y]+[x,z\cdot y]$ for all 
$x,y,z\in \mathcal{L}$.
