Clifford algebras, Möbius transformations, Vahlen matrices, and B -loops

Jimmie Lawson (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we show that well-known relationships connecting the Clifford algebra on negative euclidean space, Vahlen matrices, and Möbius transformations extend to connections with the Möbius loop or gyrogroup on the open unit ball B in n -dimensional euclidean space n . One notable achievement is a compact, convenient formula for the Möbius loop operation a * b = ( a + b ) ( 1 - a b ) - 1 , where the operations on the right are those arising from the Clifford algebra (a formula comparable to ( w + z ) ( 1 + w ¯ z ) - 1 for the Möbius loop multiplication...

Closed-form expression for Hankel determinants of the Narayana polynomials

Marko D. Petković, Paul Barry, Predrag Rajković (2012)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We considered a Hankel transform evaluation of Narayana and shifted Narayana polynomials. Those polynomials arises from Narayana numbers and have many combinatorial properties. A mainly used tool for the evaluation is the method based on orthogonal polynomials. Furthermore, we provided a Hankel transform evaluation of the linear combination of two consecutive shifted Narayana polynomials, using the same method (based on orthogonal polynomials) and previously obtained moment representation of Narayana...

CM liftings of supersingular elliptic curves

Ben Kane (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Assuming GRH, we present an algorithm which inputs a prime p and outputs the set of fundamental discriminants D < 0 such that the reduction map modulo a prime above p from elliptic curves with CM by 𝒪 D to supersingular elliptic curves in characteristic p is surjective. In the algorithm we first determine an explicit constant D p so that | D | > D p implies that the map is necessarily surjective and then we compute explicitly the cases | D | < D p .

Cobham's theorem for substitutions

Fabien Durand (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The seminal theorem of Cobham has given rise during the last 40 years to a lot of work about non-standard numeration systems and has been extended to many contexts. In this paper, as a result of fifteen years of improvements, we obtain a complete and general version for the so-called substitutive sequences. Let α and β be two multiplicatively independent Perron numbers. Then a sequence x A , where A is a finite alphabet, is both α -substitutive and β -substitutive if and only if x is ultimately periodic....
