چکیده

A matroid on a set E is a family I of subsets of E (called independent sets) with the properties • a subset of an independent set is independent; • if A and B are independent with |A| < |B|, then there exists x ∈ B \A such that A∪{x} is independent. The rank ρ(A) of a subset A of E is the common size of maximal independent subsets of A. Examples of matroids: • E is a family of vectors in a vector space, independence is linear independence; • E is a family of vectors in a vector space, independence is affine independence; • E is a family of elements in a field K, independence is algebraic independence over a subfield F ; • E is the set of edges of a graph, a set is independent if it is acyclic; • E is the index set of a family (Ai : i ∈ E) of subsets of X , a set I is independent if (Ai : i ∈ I) has a system of distinct representatives.

On Permutation Cliques

The symmetric group S , is a metric space with distance d(a , b ) = IE(a-'b)( where E ( c ) is the set of points moved by c E S,. Let L be a given subset of {I. 2, . . . , n}, a permutation clique A = A(L, n ) is any subset A c S , with d(a, b ) E L whenever a, b E A , a # b. We give a framework of new and known information o n some special A = A ( L , n): maximal, largest, largest subgroups of...

An Algorithm to Decompose Permutation Representations of Finite Groups: Polynomial Algebra Approach

We describe an algorithm for splitting a permutation representation of a finite group into irreducible components. The algorithm is based on the fact that the components of the invariant inner product in invariant subspaces are operators of projection into these subspaces. An important element of the algorithm is the calculation of Gröbner bases of polynomial ideals. A preliminary implementatio...

On the inverses of some classes of permutations of finite fields

We study the compositional inverses of some general classes of permutation polynomials over finite fields. We show that we can write these inverses in terms of the inverses of two other polynomials bijecting subspaces of the finite field, where one of these is a linearized polynomial. In some cases we are able to explicitly obtain these inverses, thus obtaining the compositional inverse of the ...

New classes of permutation binomials and permutation trinomials over finite fields

Permutation polynomials over finite fields play important roles in finite fields theory. They also have wide applications in many areas of science and engineering such as coding theory, cryptography, combinational design, communication theory and so on. Permutation binomials and trinomials attract people’s interest due to their simple algebraic form and additional extraordinary properties. In t...

Permutation groups of Finite Morley rank

Introduction Groups of finite Morley rank made their first appearance in model theory as binding groups, which are the key ingredient in Zilber's ladder theorem and in Poizat's explanation of the Picard-Vessiot theory. These are not just groups, but in fact permutation groups acting on important definable sets. When they are finite, they are connected with the model theoretic notion of algebrai...
