We introduce an analogue of the bumping algorithm for affine type A, using its natural interpretation in terms of crystals. In fact, we make explicit a particular isomorphism between connected components of the crystal graphs of Fock spaces representations of U q(ŝle). This so-called "canonical" crystal isomorphism turns out to be expressible only in terms of: − Schensted’s bumping procedure, −...

We study the relationship between algebraic structures and their inverse semigroups of partial automorphisms. We consider a variety of classes of natural structures including equivalence structures, orderings, Boolean algebras, and relatively complemented distributive lattices. For certain subsemigroups of these inverse semigroups, isomorphism (elementary equivalence) of the subsemigroups yield...

For a countable structureA, the (Turing) degree spectrum of A is the set of all Turing degrees of its isomorphic copies. If the degree spectrum of A has the least degree d, then we say that d is the (Turing) degree of the isomorphism type of A. So far, degrees of the isomorphism types have been studied for abelian and metabelian groups. Here, we focus on highly nonabelian groups. We show that t...

We show that the problem to decide whether two (convex) polytopes are combinatorially isomorphic is graph isomorphism complete, even for simple or simplicial polytopes. On the other hand, we give a polynomial time algorithm for the polytope isomorphism problem in bounded dimension, which is based on Luks’ algorithm for the isomorphism problem of graphs of bounded maximal degree.

Let L be a restricted Lie algebra with the restricted enveloping algebra u(L) over a perfect field of positive characteristic p. The restricted isomorphism problem asks what invariants of L are determined by u(L). This problem is the analogue of the modular isomorphism problem for finite p-groups. Bagiński and Sandling have given a positive answer to the modular isomorphism problem for metacycl...

ÐThis paper investigates the influence of the cost function on the optimal match between two graphs. It is shown that, for a given cost function, there are an infinite number of other cost functions that lead, for any given pair of graphs, to the same optimal error correcting matching. Furthermore, it is shown that well-known concepts from graph theory, such as graph isomorphism, subgraph isomo...

A semigroup is nilpotent of degree 3 if it has a zero, every product of 3 elements equals the zero, and some product of 2 elements is non-zero. It is part of the folklore of semigroup theory that almost all finite semigroups are nilpotent of degree 3. We give formulae for the number of nilpotent semigroups of degree 3 on a set with n ∈ N elements up to equality, isomorphism, and isomorphism or ...

in this paper we classify fuzzy subgroups of a rank-3 abelian group $g = mathbb{z}_{p^n} + mathbb{z}_p + mathbb{z}_p$ for any fixed prime $p$ and any positive integer $n$, using a natural equivalence relation given in cite{mur:01}. we present and prove explicit polynomial formulae for the number of (i) subgroups, (ii) maximal chains of subgroups, (iii) distinct fuzzy subgroups, (iv) non-isomorp...

We study the equivalence problem of cubic forms. We lower bound its complexity by that of F-algebra isomorphism problem and hence by the graph isomorphism problem (for all fields F). For finite fields we upper bound the complexity of cubic forms by NP∩coAM. We also study the cubic forms obtained from F-algebras and show that they are regular and indecomposable.
