Cyclic Sieving for Strong Dichotomy Enumeration

Octavio A. Agustín-Aquino

Agustín-Aquino solved, in terms of the table of marks of $\Aff(\mathbb{Z}/2k\mathbb{Z})$, the problem of enumerating the classes of bicolour self-complementary and rigid patterns i…

Exploring Exotic Counterpoint Compositions

Octavio A. Agustín-Aquino, Jeffery Liu, Guerino Mazzola

In this paper, first musical compositions are presented, which are created using the mathematical counterpoint theory of Guerino Mazzola and his collaborators. These compositions a…

Musicological, computational and conceptual aspects of first-species counterpoint theory

Juan Sebastián Arias-Valero, Octavio Alberto Agustín-Aquino, Emilio Lluis-Puebla

We re-create the essential results of a 1989 unpublished article by Mazzola and Muzzulini that contains musicological aspects of a first-species counterpoint model. We include a su…

A Categorical Generalization of Counterpoint

Octavio A. Agustín-Aquino, Juan Sebastián Arias, Enrique Ruiz Hernández

We extend Mazzola's counterpoint model using category theory, generalizing from the category to an arbitrary topos other than . This generalization sug…

Modulation in Tetradic Harmony and its Role in Jazz

Octavio A. Agustín-Aquino, Guerino Mazzola

After a quick exposition of Mazzola's quantum modulation model for the so-called triadic interpretation of the major scale within the equal temperament, we study the model for the…

Archimedes' quadrature of the parabola and minimal covers

Octavio A. Agustín-Aquino

The generalization of Archimedes strategy to obtain the area of a parabolic segment leads to combinatorial formulas involving minimal covers of sets. These, in turn, are conjectura…
