    Finite convergent presentations of plactic monoids for semisimple lie algebras

    Full text link
    We study rewriting properties of the column presentation of plactic monoid for any semisimple Lie algebra such as termination and confluence. Littelmann described this presentation using L-S paths generators. Thanks to the shapes of tableaux, we show that this presentation is finite and convergent. We obtain as a corollary that plactic monoids for any semisimple Lie algebra satisfy homological finiteness properties

    Inertia tensor and cross product In n-dimensions space

    Full text link
    We demonstrated using an elementary method that the inertia tensor of a material point and the cross product of two vectors were only possible in a three or seven dimensional space. The representation matrix of the cross product in the seven dimensional space and its properties were given. The relationship between the inertia tensor and the octonions algebra was emphasized for the first time in this work

    Constraint Handling Rules with Binders, Patterns and Generic Quantification

    Full text link
    Constraint Handling Rules provide descriptions for constraint solvers. However, they fall short when those constraints specify some binding structure, like higher-rank types in a constraint-based type inference algorithm. In this paper, the term syntax of constraints is replaced by λ\lambda-tree syntax, in which binding is explicit; and a new \nabla generic quantifier is introduced, which is used to create new fresh constants.Comment: Paper presented at the 33nd International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP 2017), Melbourne, Australia, August 28 to September 1, 2017 16 pages, LaTeX, no PDF figure
