A bridge between the algebraic / differential geometry of $\frak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})$ and the Sheffer-Appell calculus and combinatorics
In "Four examples of Beilinson-Bernstein localization", Anna Romanov introduces the basis
$m_k = \frac{(-1)^k}{k!} \partial^k \delta $
on p. 9, where $\partial$ is a partial derivative and $\...

Commuting matrix variety $[A,B]=0$ - can one geometrically explain divisibility of $F_ q$ point count by high powers of $q$?
$\DeclareMathOperator\Comm{Comm}\DeclareMathOperator\Id{Id}$Consider the variety $\Comm$ of commuting matrices $[A,B]=0$ over some field $K$. It is much studied, and interesting for various reasons.

Polya-MacMahon-Burnside's generating function at "-1"
$\mathbb{Z}_n$, as a cyclic subgroup of symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$, acts on $[n] :=\{1, 2,\dots,n\}$. Hence $\Bbb{Z}_n$ permutes the elements of the Boolean algebra $2^{[n]}$ of all subsets of $[...

What is the permutation group generated by those three given morphisms of the affine space $\mathbb{F}_q^3$?
Let $\mathbb{A}^3 = \mathbb{F}_q^3$. Consider the following three functions $\mathbb{A}^3\to\mathbb{A}^3$:
\begin{eqnarray*}
h: (x, y, z) &\mapsto& (x, y, xy - z) \\
u: (x, y, z) &\mapsto&...

Finding stable ideals of $\mathbb{F}_3[[X,S]]$ by group action
Let $k > 1$ be a positive integer and define the action $\sigma_k$ on $\mathbb{F}_3[[X,S]]$ by:
$\sigma_k: X \mapsto X + S + X^k$
$\sigma_k: S \mapsto S + S^3$.
Conjecture: There exists a ...

Automorphism groups of indefinite non-unimodular integer lattices
Does anyone know of any papers in which structural aspects of the orthogonal group of some indefinite non-unimodular integral lattice are calculated? The exact lattice isn't so important and they don'...

A commutative monoid associated with a finite abelian group
Let $M$ be a finite abelian group, and denote by $e_m$, for $m \in M$, the canonical basis of $\mathbb{Z}^M$. For $m, n \in M$ define elements $v_{m,n} \in \mathbb{Z}^M/\langle e_0\rangle$ as
$$
v_{m,...
