To each ribbon graph we assign a so-called [Formula: see text]-space, which is a Lagrangian subspace in an even-dimensional vector space with the standard symplectic form. This invariant generalizes the notion of the intersection matrix of a chord diagram. Moreover, the actions of Morse perestroikas (or taking a partial dual) and Vassiliev moves on ribbon graphs are reinterpreted nicely in the language of [Formula: see text]-spaces, becoming changes of bases in this vector space. Finally, we define a bialgebra structure on the span of [Formula: see text]-spaces, which is analogous to the 4-bialgebra structure on chord diagrams.

Let [Formula: see text] be a k-dimensional vector space over a finite field [Formula: see text] with a basis [Formula: see text]. The nonzero component graph of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is a simple undirected graph with vertex set as nonzero vectors of [Formula: see text] such that there is an edge between two distinct vertices [Formula: see text] if and only if there exists at least one [Formula: see text] along which both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have nonzero scalars. In this paper, we find the vertex connectivity and girth of [Formula: see text]. We also characterize all vector spaces [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text] has genus either 0 or 1 or 2.

AbstractLet Fq be a finite field with q elements, V an n-dimensional vector space over Fq and 𝒱 the projective space associated to V. Let G≤GLn(Fq) be a classical group and PG be the corresponding projective group. In this note we prove that if Fq (V )G is purely transcendental over Fq with homogeneous polynomial generators, then Fq (𝒱)PG is also purely transcendental over Fq. We compute explicitly the generators of Fq (𝒱)PG when G is the symplectic, unitary or orthogonal group.

A chord diagram consists of a circle, called the backbone, with line segments, called chords, whose endpoints are attached to distinct points on the circle. The genus of a chord diagram is the genus of the orientable surface obtained by thickening the backbone to an annulus and attaching bands to the inner boundary circle at the ends of each chord. Variations of this construction are considered here, where bands are possibly attached to the outer boundary circle of the annulus. The genus range of a chord diagram is the genus values over all such variations of surfaces thus obtained from a given chord diagram. Genus ranges of chord diagrams for a fixed number of chords are studied. Integer intervals that can be, and those that cannot be, realized as genus ranges are investigated. Computer calculations are presented, and play a key role in discovering and proving the properties of genus ranges.

The Theorems of Pappus and Desargues (for the projective plane over a field) are generalized here by two identities involving determinants and cross products. These identities are proved to hold in the three-dimensional vector space over a field. They are closely related to the Arguesian identity in lattice theory and to Cayley-Grassmann identities in invariant theory.

IfMis a mathematical system and EndMis the set of singular endomorphisms ofM, then EndMforms a semigroup under composition of mappings. A number of papers have been written to determine the subsemigroupSMof EndMgenerated by the idempotentsEMof EndMfor different systemsM. The first of these was by J. M. Howie [4]; here the case ofMbeing an unstructured setXwas considered. Howie showed that ifXis finite, then EndX=Sx.
