What are the periodic Dyck paths?

I changed the thread completely so that everything is now elementary linear algebra. A Dyck path of length $n$ is a list of positive integers $[c_1,c_2,...,c_n]$ with $c_i -1 \leq c_{i+1}$ for all $i$...

Calculating Mayer-Vietoris efficiently

This is a question whose motivation and framing seem to involve a lot of topology, but which I suspect comes down to some simple and standard combinatorics that's probably recorded in a book somewhere....

Classification of algebras of finite global dimension via determinants of certain 0-1-matrices

I restrict to the elementary problem that is equivalent to give a classification when Morita-Nakayama algebras have finite global dimension (see the end of this post for some background). A Morita-...

Permanent of the Coxeter matrix of a distributive lattice

Let $L$ be a finite distributive lattice with $n$ elements. Let $C=(c_{x,y})$ be the $n \times n$ matrix with entry 1 in case $x \leq y$ and 0 else. The Coxeter matrix of $L$ is defined as the matrix $...

An enumeration problem for Dyck paths from homological algebra

In their article "On n-Gorenstein rings and Auslander rings of low injective dimension" Fuller and Iwanaga gave a homological characterisation of 2-Gorenstein Nakayama algebras with global ...

Derived equivalences of Dyck paths

Call two Dyck paths $D_1$ and $D_2$ derived equivalent in case their corresponding Nakayama algebras are derived equivalent (The Dyck path of a Nakayama algebra with a linear quiver is just the top ...

A homological algebra approach to the Union-closed sets conjecture

I noted a while ago that there is a nice homological formulation using incidence algebra of the Union-closed sets conjecture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union-closed_sets_conjecture). It might just ...

Closed formula for some dimension

This question has a background from representation theory/homological algebra, but I state everything in elementary terms here: Call an n-CNak an n-tupel $[c_0,c_1,...,c_{n-1}]$ where $c_0=c_1=...=c_{...

Combinatorial problem on periodic dyck paths from homological algebra

edit: I added conjecture 2 that looks much more accessible. Here is the elementary combinatorial translation of the problem (read below for the homological background): Let $n \geq 2$. A Nakayama ...
