The sequence $(x_n)_{ninmathbb N} = (2,5,15,51,187,dots)$ given by the rule $x_n=(2^n+1)(2^{n-1}+1)/3$ appears in several seemingly unrelated areas of mathematics. For example, $x_n$ is the density of a language of words of length $n$ with four different letters. It is also the cardinality of the quotient of $(mathbb Z_2times mathbb Z_2)^n$ under the left action of the special linear group $mathrm{SL}(2,mathbb Z)$. In this paper we show how these two interpretations of $x_n$ are related to each other. More generally, for prime numbers $p$ we show a correspondence between a quotient of $(mathbb Z_ptimesmathbb Z_p)^n$ and a language with $p^2$ letters and words of length $n$.
We show that many 2-dimensional Artin groups are residually finite. This includes 3-generator Artin groups with labels $geq$ 3 where either at least one label is even, or at most one label is equal 3. As a first step towards residual finiteness we sh
It is well-known that the Pachner graph of $n$-vertex triangulated $2$-spheres is connected, i.e., each pair of $n$-vertex triangulated $2$-spheres can be turned into each other by a sequence of edge flips for each $ngeq 4$. In this article, we study
A well-known theorem of Whitney states that a 3-connected planar graph admits an essentially unique embedding into the 2-sphere. We prove a 3-dimensional analogue: a simply-connected $2$-complex every link graph of which is 3-connected admits an esse
We address a long-standing and long-investigated problem in combinatorial topology, and break the exponential barrier for triangulations of real projective space, constructing a trianglation of $mathbb{RP}^n$ of size $e^{(frac{1}{2}+o(1))sqrt{n}{log n}}$.
In this paper, we investigate statistics on alternating words under correspondence between ``possible reflection paths within several layers of glass and ``alternating words. For $v=(v_1,v_2,cdots,v_n)inmathbb{Z}^{n}$, we say $P$ is a path within $n$
