Supersolvable Arrangement
In mathematics, a supersolvable arrangement is a hyperplane arrangement which has a maximal flag with only modular elements. Equivalently, the intersection semilattice of the arrangement is a supersolvable lattice, in the sense of Richard P. Stanley. As shown by Hiroaki Terao, a complex hyperplane arrangement is supersolvable if and only if its complement is fiber-type. Examples include arrangements associated with Coxeter groups of type A and B. It is known that the Orlik–Solomon algebra of a supersolvable arrangement is a Koszul algebra; whether the converse is true is an open problem.{{cite journal, first=Sergey, last= Yuzvinsky, title= Orlik–Solomon algebras in algebra and topology, journal= Russian Mathematical Surveys ''Uspekhi Matematicheskikh Nauk'' (russian: Успехи математических наук) is a Russian mathematical journal, published by the Russian Academy of Sciences and Moscow Mathematical Society and translated into English as ''Russia .. ...

Arrangement Of Hyperplanes
In geometry and combinatorics, an arrangement of hyperplanes is an arrangement of a finite set ''A'' of hyperplanes in a linear, affine, or projective space ''S''. Questions about a hyperplane arrangement ''A'' generally concern geometrical, topological, or other properties of the complement, ''M''(''A''), which is the set that remains when the hyperplanes are removed from the whole space. One may ask how these properties are related to the arrangement and its intersection semilattice. The intersection semilattice of ''A'', written ''L''(''A''), is the set of all subspaces that are obtained by intersecting some of the hyperplanes; among these subspaces are ''S'' itself, all the individual hyperplanes, all intersections of pairs of hyperplanes, etc. (excluding, in the affine case, the empty set). These intersection subspaces of ''A'' are also called the flats of ''A''. The intersection semilattice ''L''(''A'') is partially ordered by ''reverse inclusion''. If the whole sp ...

Flag (linear Algebra)
In mathematics, particularly in linear algebra, a flag is an increasing sequence of subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space ''V''. Here "increasing" means each is a proper subspace of the next (see filtration): :\ = V_0 \sub V_1 \sub V_2 \sub \cdots \sub V_k = V. The term ''flag'' is motivated by a particular example resembling a flag: the zero point, a line, and a plane correspond to a nail, a staff, and a sheet of fabric. If we write that dim''V''''i'' = ''d''''i'' then we have :0 = d_0 < d_1 < d_2 < \cdots < d_k = n, where ''n'' is the of ''V'' (assumed to be finite). Hence, we must have ''k'' ≤ ''n''. A flag is called a complete flag if ''d''''i'' = ''i'' for all ''i'', otherwise it is called a partial flag. A partial flag can be obtained from a complete flag by deleting some of the subspaces. ...

Modular Lattice
In the branch of mathematics called order theory, a modular lattice is a lattice (order), lattice that satisfies the following self-duality (order theory), dual condition, ;Modular law: implies where are arbitrary elements in the lattice, ≤ is the partial order, and ∨ and ∧ (called join and meet respectively) are the operations of the lattice. This phrasing emphasizes an interpretation in terms of projection onto the sublattice , a fact known as the diamond isomorphism theorem. An alternative but equivalent condition stated as an equation (see below) emphasizes that modular lattices form a variety (universal algebra), variety in the sense of universal algebra. Modular lattices arise naturally in algebra and in many other areas of mathematics. In these scenarios, modularity is an abstraction of the Second isomorphism theorem, 2nd Isomorphism Theorem. For example, the subspaces of a vector space (and more generally the submodules of a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lattice (order)
A lattice is an abstract structure studied in the mathematical subdisciplines of order theory and abstract algebra. It consists of a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique supremum (also called a least upper bound or join) and a unique infimum (also called a greatest lower bound or meet). An example is given by the power set of a set, partially ordered by inclusion, for which the supremum is the union and the infimum is the intersection. Another example is given by the natural numbers, partially ordered by divisibility, for which the supremum is the least common multiple and the infimum is the greatest common divisor. Lattices can also be characterized as algebraic structures satisfying certain axiomatic identities. Since the two definitions are equivalent, lattice theory draws on both order theory and universal algebra. Semilattices include lattices, which in turn include Heyting and Boolean algebras. These ''lattice-like'' structures all admi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Richard P
Richard is a male given name. It originates, via Old French, from Frankish language, Old Frankish and is a Compound (linguistics), compound of the words descending from Proto-Germanic language, Proto-Germanic ''*rīk-'' 'ruler, leader, king' and ''*hardu-'' 'strong, brave, hardy', and it therefore means 'strong in rule'. Nicknames include "Richie", "Dick (nickname), Dick", "Dickon", "Dickie (name), Dickie", "Rich (given name), Rich", "Rick (given name), Rick", "Rico (name), Rico", "Ricky (given name), Ricky", and more. Richard is a common English, German and French male name. It's also used in many more languages, particularly Germanic, such as Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Dutch, as well as other languages including Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Finnish. Richard is cognate with variants of the name in other European languages, such as the Swedish "Rickard", the Catalan "Ricard" and the Italian "Riccardo", among others (see comprehensive variant list below).

Advances In Mathematics
''Advances in Mathematics'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on pure mathematics. It was established in 1961 by Gian-Carlo Rota. The journal publishes 18 issues each year, in three volumes. At the origin, the journal aimed at publishing articles addressed to a broader "mathematical community", and not only to mathematicians in the author's field. Herbert Busemann writes, in the preface of the first issue, "The need for expository articles addressing either all mathematicians or only those in somewhat related fields has long been felt, but little has been done outside of the USSR. The serial publication ''Advances in Mathematics'' was created in response to this demand." Abstracting and indexing The journal is abstracted and indexed in: * |
Coxeter Group
In mathematics, a Coxeter group, named after H. S. M. Coxeter, is an abstract group that admits a formal description in terms of reflections (or kaleidoscopic mirrors). Indeed, the finite Coxeter groups are precisely the finite Euclidean reflection groups; the symmetry groups of regular polyhedra are an example. However, not all Coxeter groups are finite, and not all can be described in terms of symmetries and Euclidean reflections. Coxeter groups were introduced in 1934 as abstractions of reflection groups , and finite Coxeter groups were classified in 1935 . Coxeter groups find applications in many areas of mathematics. Examples of finite Coxeter groups include the symmetry groups of regular polytopes, and the Weyl groups of simple Lie algebras. Examples of infinite Coxeter groups include the triangle groups corresponding to regular tessellations of the Euclidean plane and the hyperbolic plane, and the Weyl groups of infinite-dimensional Kac–Moody algebras.

Koszul Algebra
In abstract algebra, a Koszul algebra R is a graded k-algebra over which the ground field k has a linear minimal graded free resolution, ''i.e.'', there exists an exact sequence: :\cdots \rightarrow R(-i)^ \rightarrow \cdots \rightarrow R(-2)^ \rightarrow R(-1)^ \rightarrow R \rightarrow k \rightarrow 0. Here, R(-j) is the graded algebra R with grading shifted up by j, ''i.e.'' R(-j)_i = R_. The exponents b_i refer to the b_i-fold direct sum. Choosing bases for the free modules in the resolution, the chain maps are given by matrices, and the definition requires the matrix entries to be zero or linear forms. An example of a Koszul algebra is a polynomial ring over a field, for which the Koszul complex is the minimal graded free resolution of the ground field. There are Koszul algebras whose ground fields have infinite minimal graded free resolutions, ''e.g'', R = k ,y(xy) . The concept is named after the French mathematician Jean-Louis Koszul.

Russian Mathematical Surveys
''Uspekhi Matematicheskikh Nauk'' (russian: Успехи математических наук) is a Russian mathematical journal, published by the Russian Academy of Sciences and Moscow Mathematical Society and translated into English as ''Russian Mathematical Surveys''. ''Uspekhi Matematicheskikh Nauk'' was founded in 1936, with Lazar Lyusternik as its editor-in-chief. Initially, it appeared irregularly, with issues devoted to specific topics within mathematics together with non-research articles about the work of different mathematical institutes in Russia and abroad. Its third issue, in 1937, was devoted to attacks on Nikolai Luzin, but in an anniversary issue 24 years later this politicization of the journal was downplayed. After a hiatus for World War II, the journal began publishing on a regular schedule in 1946. Its translation, ''Russian Mathematical Surveys'', began in 1960 and since 1997 has been published jointly by the London Mathematical Society, Turpion Ltd, and the ...
