Bruhat intervals as rooks on skew Ferrers boards

We characterise the permutations π such that the elements in the closed lower Bruhat interval [id,π] of the symmetric group correspond to non-taking rook configurations on a skew Ferrers board. It turns out that these are exactly the permutations π such that [id,π] corresponds to a flag manifold defined by inclusions, studied by Gasharov and Reiner.Our characterisation connects the Poincaré polynomials (rank-generating function) of Bruhat intervals with q-rook polynomials, and we are able to compute the Poincaré polynomial of some particularly interesting intervals in the finite Weyl groups An and Bn. The expressions involve q-Stirling numbers of the second kind, and for the group An putting q=1 yields the poly-Bernoulli numbers defined by Kaneko.     

A New Algorithm for Solving the Word Problem in Braid Groups

One of the most interesting questions about a group is whether its word problem can be solved and how. The word problem in the braid group is of particular interest to topologists, algebraists, and geometers, and is the target of intensive current research. We look at the braid group from a topological point of view (rather than a geometric one). The braid group is defined by the action of diffeomorphisms on the fundamental group of a punctured disk. We exploit the topological definition in order to give a new approach for solving its word problem. Our algorithm, although not better in complexity, is faster in comparison with known algorithms for short braid words, and it is almost independent of the number of strings in the braids. Moreover, the algorithm is based on a new computer presentation of the elements of the fundamental group of a punctured disk. This presentation can be used also for other algorithms.     

The local finiteness of some groups generated by a conjugacy class of order 3 elements

We prove local finiteness for the groups generated by a conjugacy class of order 3 elements whose every pair generates a subgroup that is isomorphic to Z ₃, A ₄, A ₅, SL ₂(3), or SL ₂(5).     

Improvement of Renormalization Group for Barenblatt Equation

We construct a Hartree-Fock (self-consistent)-like algorithm with renormalization group (RG) approach to calculate the anomalous dimension in a nonlinear diffusion equation. We find that our result improves the original RG work because we include the effect of Heaviside function.

Finite groups in which elements of the same order outside the center are conjugate

We prove that if G is a finite group in which the elements of the same order outside the center are conjugate,then either G is abelian or G(?)S_3.     

Invariant sets and solutions to the generalized thin film equation

The invariant sets and the solutions of the 1 2-dimensional generalized thin film equation are discussed. It is shown that there exists a class of solutions to the equations, which are invariant with respect to the set E0 = {u : ux = vxF(u), uy = vyF(u)}, where v is a smooth function of variables x, y and F is a smooth function of u. This extends the results of Galaktionov (2001) and for the l l-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations.
