When all $2$-factors are pairwise isomorphic and $v$ is odd, we have the classic Oberwolfach problem, which was originally stated as a seating problem: given $v$ attendees at a conference with $t$ circular tables such that the $i$th table seats $a_i$ people and ${sum_{i=1}^t a_i = v}$, find a seating arrangement over the $frac{v-1}{2}$ days of the conference, so that every person sits next to each other person exactly once. In this paper we introduce the related {em minisymposium problem}, which requires a solution to the generalized Oberwolfach problem on $v$ vertices that contains a subsystem on $m$ vertices. That is, the decomposition restricted to the required $m$ vertices is a solution to the generalized Oberwolfach problem on $m$ vertices. In the seating context above, the larger conference contains a minisymposium of $m$ participants, and we also require that pairs of these $m$ participants be seated next to each other for $leftlfloorfrac{m-1}{2}rightrfloor$ of the days. When the cycles are as long as possible, i.e. $v$, $m$ and $v-m$, a flexible method of Hilton and Johnson provides a solution. We use this result to provide further solutions when $v equiv m equiv 2 pmod 4$ and all cycle lengths are even. In addition, we provide extensive results in the case where all cycle lengths are equal to $k$, solving all cases when $mmid v$, except possibly when $k$ is odd and $v$ is even.","PeriodicalId":49239,"journal":{"name":"Ars Mathematica Contemporanea","volume":"9 18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78658207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we classify all valuations on the real Weyl algebra A1(R) whose residue field is R. We then use a noncommutative version of the Baer-Krull theorem from real algebraic geometry to classify all orderings on A1(R). As a byproduct of our studies, we settle two open problems in noncommutative valuation theory. First, we show that not all valuations on A1(R) with residue field R extend to a valuation on a larger ring R[y; δ], where R is the ring of Puiseux series, introduced by Marshall and Zhang in [12], with the same residue field, and characterize the valuations that do have such an extension. Second, we show that for valuations on noncommutative division rings, Kaplansky’s theorem that extensions by limits of pseudo-Cauchy sequences are immediate fails in general.","PeriodicalId":49239,"journal":{"name":"Ars Mathematica Contemporanea","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91290145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
