[SAL] Transformation representations of diagram monoids | James East (Western Sydney University)

Cayley's Theorem states that any finite monoid can be faithfully represented as a semigroup of transformations (self-maps) of a finite set. The minimum size of such a set is the (minimum transformation) degree of the monoid.
We obtain formulae for the degrees of the most well-studied families of finite diagram monoids, including the partition, Brauer, Temperley-Lieb and Motzkin monoids. For example, the partition monoid Pn has degree 1 + ( B(n + 2) – B(n + 1) + B(n) ) / 2 for n ≥ 2, where these are Bell numbers. The proofs involve constructing explicit faithful representations of the minimum degree, many of which can be realised as (partial) actions on projections.
This is joint work with Reinis Cirpons and James Mitchell, both at Univ St Andrews.

[SAn] On the DiPerna-Majda gap problem for 2D Euler equations | Óscar Domínguez Bonilla (UNEF University-Madrid, Spain)
14 January 2025 2:15 pm – 3:15 pm
Room 1.6, building VIIA famous result ofDelort (1991) establishes the concentration-
cancellationphenomenon for approximating solutions of 2D Euler equations
with a vortex sheetwhose vorticity maximal function has a log-decay of order
1/2 . On the otherhand, DiPerna and Majda (1987) showed that if the log-
decay assumption isstrictly larger than 1 then the lack of concentration
(and hence energyconservation) holds. Then the so-called DiPerna-Majda
gap problem asks:concentration-cancellation vs. energy conservation in the
remaining log-range(1/2,1]?
In this talk, afterreviewing earlier contributions to the DiPerna-Majda
gap problem, I willpresent a new approach to this question based on sparse-
ness. This is based onjoint projects with Mario Milman and Daniel Spector.
The talk will beself-contained, and no additional prerequisites are needed.

Who are we?
NOVA Math‘s focus is on cutting edge research, in both pure and applied mathematics, valuing the use of mathematics in the solution of real-world problems at the industrial level and of social relevance.
Research Groups
Thematic Lines
One of the main strategies developed by NOVA Math is to promote the exchange of knowledge with other sciences. It is important to engage with the users of mathematics, given them the support for their research on one hand, and on another hand, to direct mathematical researchers that seek real-life problems.
