Perfect discrete Morse functions on 2-complexes

This paper is focused on the study of perfect discrete Morse functions on a 2-simplicial complex. These are those discrete Morse functions such that the number of critical i-simplices coincides with the i-th Betti number of the complex. In particular, we establish conditions under which a 2-complex admits a perfect discrete Morse function and conversely, we get topological properties of a 2-complex admitting such kind of functions. This approach is more general than the known results in the literature [7], since our study is not restricted to surfaces. These results can be considered as a first step in the study of perfect discrete Morse functions on 3-manifolds

Counting excellent discrete Morse functions on compact orientable surfaces

We obtain the number of non-homologically equivalent excellent discrete Morse functions defined on compact orientable surfaces. This work is a continuation of the study which has been done in [2, 4] for graphs

Dealing with the Resolubility of Evolution Algebras

Although since their introduction by Tian in 2004, evolution algebras have been the subject of a very deep study in the last years due to their numerous applications to other disciplines, this study is not easy since these algebras lack an identity that characterizes them, such as the identity of Jacobi, for Lie algebras or those of Leibniz and Malcev for those corresponding algebras. In this paper we deal with the concepts of solvability and nilpotency of these evolution algebras. Some novel results on them obtained from using the evolution operator of these algebras are given and some examples illustrating these results are also shown. The main result obtained states that an evolution algebra is solvable if and only if its structure matrix is nilpotent, which implies, in turn, that the solvability and the nilpotency indices of that algebra coincide provided the corresponding evolution operator is an endomorphism of the algebra

Set of evolution operators of an evolution algebra

An automorphism defined on an evolution algebra can provide both a finite number and an infinite number of evolution operators on it. This question is dealt with in the paper, as well as others more related to the evolution operators of evolution algebras. After defining the concept of the set of evolution operators of an evolution algebra, differences between trivial and non-trivial sets of evolution operators are also covered. Some properties of these concepts are studied and several examples of the above issues are shown

Application of statistical techniques for comparing Lie algebra algorithms

This paper is devoted to study and compare two algebraic algorithms related to the computation of Lie algebras by using statistical techniques. These techniques allow us to decide which of them is more suitable and less costly depending on several variables, like the dimension of the considered algebra

Using the Evolution Operator to Classify Evolution Algebras

Evolution algebras are currently widely studied due to their importance not only “per se” but also for their many applications to different scientific disciplines, such as Physics or Engineering, for instance. This paper deals with these types of algebras and their applications. A criterion for classifying those satisfying certain conditions is given and an algorithm to obtain degenerate evolution algebras starting from those of smaller dimensions is also analyzed and constructed

Graphs associated with nilpotent Lie algebras of maximal rank

In this paper, we use the graphs as a tool to study nilpotent Lie algebras. It implies to set up a link between graph theory and Lie theory. To do this, it is already known that every nilpotent Lie algebra of maximal rank is associated with a generalized Cartan matrix A and it is isomorphic to a quotient of the positive part n+ of the KacMoody algebra g(A). Then, if A is affine, we can associate n+ with a directed graph (from now on, we use the term digraph) and we can also associate a subgraph of this digraph with every isomorphism class of nilpotent Lie algebras of maximal rank and of type A. Finally, we show an algorithm which obtains these subgraphs and also groups them in isomorphism classes

Morse–Bott theory on posets and a homological Lusternik–Schnirelmann theorem

We develop Morse–Bott theory on posets, generalizing both discrete Morse–Bott theory for regular complexes and Morse theory on posets. Moreover, we prove a Lusternik– Schnirelmann theorem for general matchings on posets, in particular, for Morse–Bott functions

Some advances in the research on Lie algebras

The main goal of this poster, which is written in the form of a survey and tries to show some aspects of the research of authors on Lie algebras, is to pay homage to the memory of Pilar Pisón Casares, who was firstly teacher of some of them and later colleague of all of them during different stages of her stay as a member of the Departamento de Algebra, Computación, Geometría y Topología de la Universidad de Sevilla
