An Arguesian identity is an identity in Grassmann-Cayley algebras with certain multi-linear properties of expressions in joins and meets of vectors and covectors. Many classical theorems of projective geometry and their generalizations to higher dimensions can be expressed as simple and elegant Arguesian identities. In a previous work we showed that an Arguesian identity can be unfolded with re...

In this paper we study a representation of a fuzzy subgroup $mu$ of a group $G$, as a product of indecomposable fuzzy subgroups called the components of $mu$.  This representation is unique up to the number of components and their isomorphic copies. In the crisp group theory, this is a well-known Theorem attributed to Remak, Krull, and Schmidt. We consider the lattice of fuzzy subgroups and som...

A century of lattice theory was shaped to a large extent by two problems. This introductory article defines the basic concepts, introduces these two problems, and describes their effect on lattice theory. In Parts 1 and 3 there is a very brief introduction of the basic concepts. The reader may find a more detailed introduction in Part 1 of my 2006 book, The Congruences of a Finite Lattice [8], ...

We compare, for the static potential and at short distances, perturbation theory with the results of lattice simulations. We show that a renormalon-dominance picture explains why in the literature sometimes agreement, and another disagreement, is found between lattice simulations and perturbation theory depending on the different implementations of the latter. We also show that, within a renorm...

This is a survey of our recent joint investigations of lattices that are generated by finite Abelian groups. In the case of cyclic groups, the volume of a fundamental domain of such a lattice is a perturbed Toeplitz determinant with a simple Fisher-Hartwig symbol. For general groups, the situation is more complicated, but it can still be tackled by pure matrix theory. Our main result on the lat...

Wilson loops in large N gauge theory exhibit a weak to strong coupling transition as the loop is dilated. A multiplicative matrix model captures the universal behavior associated with this transition. A universal scaling function is obtained in a double scaling limit. Numerical studies show that both large N QCD in three dimensions and the SU(N) principal chiral model in two dimensions are in t...

One approach to field theory, in particular to aspects that are not well treated in perturbation theory, is to approximate the field defined on a spacetime continuum with a lattice field theory, defined on a lattice of space-time points. There has been a great deal of cross-fertilization from considering renormalization from the continuum high-energy physics point of view and from the condensed...

This article concerns a connection of fuzzy logic and lattice theory. Namely, the fuzzy sets form a Heyting lattice with union and intersection of fuzzy sets as meet and join operations. The lattice of fuzzy sets is defined as the product of interval posets. As the final result, we have characterized the composition of fuzzy relations in terms of lattice theory and proved its associativity.

The continuing and widespread use of lattice rules for high-dimensional numerical quadrature is driving the development of a rich and detailed theory. Part of this theory is devoted to computer searches for rules, appropriate to particular situations. In some applications, one is interested in obtaining the (lattice) rank of a lattice rule Q(Λ) directly from the elements of a generator matrix B...

Young’s lattice is the lattice of partitions of integers, ordered by inclusion of diagrams. Standard Young tableaux can be represented as paths in Young’s lattice that go up by one square at each step, and more general paths in Young’s lattice correspond to more general kinds of tableaux. Using the theory of symmetric functions, in particular Pieri’s rule for multiplying a Schur function by a c...
