This paper analyzes a certain class of combinatorial board games that includes Ayo, Tchoukaillon and Modular N–queen. We refine the existing results by providing simple and intuitive proofs using abstract combinatorics, and also reveal some interesting game positions.

Whittaker functors for G S p 4

1.1 One of the important technical tools in D. Gaitsgory’s proof of the Vanishing Conjecture appearing in the geometric Langlands correspondence ([3]) is the theory of Whittaker functors for GLn. In this paper we define analogous functors for GSp4 and study their properties. Let us first review the situation at the level of automorphic forms on G = Sp4. Let X be a smooth projective absolutely i...

The loss the Society has sustained in the death of Davidson is a ...
