In 1997 Bousquet-Mélou and Eriksson introduced lecture hall partitions as the inversion vectors of elements of the parabolic quotient C̃/C. We provide a new view of their correspondence that allows results in one domain to be translated into the other. We determine the equivalence between combinatorial statistics in each domain and use this correspondence to translate certain generating function...

We study the quotient of a completion of a symmetric variety G/H under the action of H . We prove that this is isomorphic to the closure of the image of an isotropic torus under the action of the restricted Weyl group. In the case the completion is smooth and toroidal we describe the set of semistable points. 2000 Math. Subj. Class. 14L30, 14L24, 14M17.

Let X be a locally symmetric variety, i.e., the quotient of a bounded symmetric domain by a (say) neat arithmetically-defined group of isometries. Let X exc and X denote its excentric Borel-Serre and toroidal compactifications respectively. We determine their least common modification and use it to prove a conjecture of Goresky and Tai concerning canonical extensions of homogeneous vector bundl...

This paper is a contribution towards the determination of all finite distance-transitive graphs. We obtain a classification of all the antipodal distance-transitive graphs having as antipodal quotient a complete graph Kn . Such a graph necessarily has diameter 2 or 3 (see for example [2, Proposition 4.2.2 (ii)]). Those of diameter 2 are simply the complete multipartite graphs Kr,...,r with n pa...

A discrete-time quantum walk on a graph is the repeated application of a unitary evolution operator to a Hilbert space corresponding to the graph. Hitting times for discrete quantum walks on graphs give an average time before the walk reaches an ending condition. We derive an expression for hitting time using superoperators, and numerically evaluate it for the walk on the hypercube for various ...

We introduce a syntax for quotient types in a predicate logic over a simply type theory. To illustrate its usefulness we construct in purely type theoretic terms (a) the free abelian group on a commutative monoid H, as quotient of H H; a special instance is the construction of Z from N; (b) the quotient poset of a preorder, (c) the abelian quotient of an arbitrary group, and (d) tensor products...

We give an example of a definable quotient in an o-minimal structure which cannot be eliminated over any set of parameters, giving a negative answer to a question of Eleftheriou, Peterzil, and Ramakrishnan. Equivalently, there is an o-minimal structure M whose elementary diagram does not eliminate imaginaries. We also give a positive answer to a related question, showing that any imaginary in a...

We describe the automorphism group of the quotient of the symmetric group on a countably innnite set by the group of nitary permutations. We show that the outer automorphism group is innnite cyclic. In the proof, we examine the structure of centralizers in this quotient.

Adversity quotient is the capacity to adjust with the adversities in life. A person with good Adversity quotient can achieve the goal by fighting against all odds. It is also related to many other factors like self esteem, motivation, fighting spirit, creativity, sincerity, positive attitude, optimism, emotional stability etc. Adversity quotient is also related to the Academic problems of stude...

A 1nite graph is said to be locally-quasiprimitive relative to a subgroup G of automorphisms if, for all vertices , the stabiliser in G of is quasiprimitive on the set of vertices adjacent to . (A permutation group is said to be quasiprimitive if all of its non-trivial normal subgroups are transitive.) The graph theoretic condition of local quasiprimitivity is strictly weaker than the condition...
