A conjecture of Biggs concerning the resistance of a distance-regular graph.
The quon algebra is an approach to particle statistics in order to provide a theory in which the Pauli exclusion principle and Bose statistics are violated by a small amount. The quons are particles whose annihilation and creation operators obey the quon algebra which interpolates between fermions and bosons. In this paper we generalize these models by introducing a deformation of the quon algebra generated by a collection of operators , , on an infinite dimensional vector space satisfying the...
A category generalizing Jaeger-Nomura algebra associated to a spin model is given. It is used to prove some equivalence among the four conditions by Jaeger-Nomura for spin models of index 2.
The purpose of this article is to give, for any (commutative) ring , an explicit minimal set of generators for the ring of multisymmetric functions as an -algebra. In characteristic zero, i.e. when is a -algebra, a minimal set of generators has been known since the 19th century. A rather small generating set in the general case has also recently been given by Vaccarino but it is not minimal in general. We also give a sharp degree bound on the generators, improving the degree bound previously...
