In this paper, by considering the notion of $Sigma$-hyperalgebras for an arbitrary signature $Sigma$, we study the notions of regular and strongly regular relations on a $Sigma$-hyperalgebra, $mathfrak{A}$. We show that each regular relation which contains a strongly regular relation is a strongly regular relation. Then we concentrate on the connection between the fundamental relation of $mathf...

Some graph-theoretical tools are used to introduce the concept of "regular genus" §(M„), for every closed n-dimensional PL-manifold M„. Then it is proved that the regular genus of every surface equals its genus, and that the regular genus of every 3-manifold Af j equals its Heegaard genus, if M3 is orientable, and twice its Heegaard genus, if M3 is nonorientable. A geometric approach, and some ...

We study (and sometimes introduce) the notions generic stability, regularity, homogeneous pregeometries, quasiminimality, and their mutual relations, in arbitrary first order theories. We prove that “infinite-dimensional homogeneous pregeometries” coincide with generically stable strongly regular types (p(x), x = x). We prove that in a theory without the strict order property, regular types are...

In this paper, we determine two families R and G of subsets of a hyperring R and sufficient conditions such that two geometric spaces (R,R) and (R,G) are strongly transitive. Moreover, we prove that the relations Γ and α are strongly regular equivalence relations on a hyperfield or a hyperring such that (R,+) has an identity element.

Let Γ be a distance-regular graph with diameter d and Kneser graph K = Γd, the distance-d graph of Γ. We say that Γ is partially antipodal when K has fewer distinct eigenvalues than Γ. In particular, this is the case of antipodal distance-regular graphs (K with only two distinct eigenvalues), and the so-called half-antipodal distance-regular graphs (K with only one negative eigenvalue). We prov...

Inspired by some intriguing examples, we study uniform association schemes and uniform coherent configurations. Perhaps the most important subclass of these objects is the class of cometric Q-antipodal association schemes. The concept of a cometric association scheme (the dual version of a distance-regular graph) is well-known; however, until recently it has not been studied well outside the ar...

In this article we give a characterization of monoids for which torsion freeness, ((principal) weak, strong) flatness, equalizer flatness or Condition (E) of finitely generated and (mono) cyclic acts and Condition (P) of finitely generated and cyclic acts implies regularity. A characterization of monoids for which all (finitely generated, (mono) cyclic acts are regular will be given too. We als...
