The paper studies fundamental groups of orbit configuration spaces and proves their torsion-freeness.

result The fundamental group of the orbit configuration space is torsion-free and has a specific structure.

We compute the equivariant KK-homology of the classifying space for proper actions, for compact 3-dimensional hyperbolic reflection groups. This coincides with the topological KK-theory of the reduced CC^\ast-algebra associated to the group, via the Baum-Connes conjecture. We show that, for any such reflection group…

BGG-sequences offer a uniform construction for invariant differential operators for a large class of geometric structures called parabolic geometries. For locally flat geometries, the resulting sequences are complexes, but in general the compositions of the operators in such a sequence are nonzero. In this paper, we sh…

result Envy freeness and prejudice freeness are equivalent to error rate balance and predictive parity.

We consider the braid groups Bn(X)\mathbf{B}_n(X) on finite simplicial complexes XX, which are generalizations of those on both manifolds and graphs that have been studied already by many authors. We figure out the relationships between geometric decompositions for XX and their effects on braid groups, and provide an al…

Random representations of surface groups approach asymptotic freeness in large nn limit.

result Expected value of trace of a fixed non-identity element is bounded as non o\infty.

The action of a Lie pseudogroup GG on a smooth manifold MM induces a prolonged pseudogroup action on the jet spaces JnJ^n of submanifolds of MM. We prove in this paper that both the local and global freeness of the action of GG on JnJ^n persist under prolongation in the jet order nn. Our results underlie the const…

In this article we develop the theory of residually finite rationally pp (RFRpp) groups, where pp is a prime. We first prove a series of results about the structure of finitely generated RFRpp groups (either for a single prime pp, or for infinitely many primes), including torsion-freeness, a Tits alternative, and …

Article explores non-freeness of groups generated by two specific matrices, providing counterexamples and sequences.

method Uses the orbit test and modulo homomorphisms to provide sufficient conditions and counterexamples.
result Constructs explicit counterexamples and sequences converging to 3, demonstrating non-freeness.

In classic fair division problems such as cake cutting and rent division, envy-freeness requires that each individual (weakly) prefer his allocation to anyone else's. On a conceptual level, we argue that envy-freeness also provides a compelling notion of fairness for classification tasks. Our technical focus is the gen…

Study of affine transformations on topological manifolds, focusing on local freeness and solvability.

result The connected component of the subgroup acts locally freely and is solvable, with additional properties for polynomial manifolds.

In this article we propose a generalisation of the recent work of Gatheral and Jacquier on explicit arbitrage-free parameterisations of implied volatility surfaces. We also discuss extensively the notion of arbitrage freeness and Roger Lee's moment formula using the recent analysis by Roper. We further exhibit an arbit…

A new method to derive presentations of skein modules is developed. For the case of homotopy skein modules it will be shown how the topology of a 3-manifold is reflected in the structure of the module. The freeness problem for q-homotopy skein modules is solved, and a natural skein module related to linking numbers is …

An embedding of a graph into R3\mathbb{R}^3 is said to be linear, if any edge of the graph is sent to be a line segment. And we say that an embedding ff of a graph GG into R3\mathbb{R}^3 is free, if π1(R3f(G))π_1(\mathbb{R}^3-f(G)) is a free group. It was known that for any complete graph its linear embedding is always free.…

We prove a freeness theorem for low-rank subgroups of one-relator groups. Let FF be a free group, and let wFw\in F be a non-primitive element. The primitivity rank of ww, π(w)π(w), is the smallest rank of a subgroup of FF containing ww as an imprimitive element. Then any subgroup of the one-relator group $G=F/\langle…

Formal models of learning from teachers need to respect certain criteria to avoid collusion. The most commonly accepted notion of collusion-freeness was proposed by Goldman and Mathias (1996), and various teaching models obeying their criterion have been studied. For each model MM and each concept class C\mathcal{C},…

Let GG be a finite group. Noncommutative geometry of unital GG-algebras is studied. A geometric structure is determined by a spectral triple on the crossed product algebra associated with the group action.
