We extend the notion of chain algebra, originally defined in \cite{GN} for finite distributive lattices, to that of finite pure posets. We show this algebra corresponds to the Ehrhart ring of a (0,1)-polytope, termed the chain polytope, and…
We study three families of polyhedral cones whose sections are regular simplices, cubes, and crosspolytopes. We compute solid angles and conic intrinsic volumes of these cones. We show that several quantities appearing in stochastic…
If the inverse of a nonsingular polynomial matrix $L$ has a polynomial part then one can associate with $L$ a module over the ring of proper rational functions, which is related to the structure of $L$ at infinity. In this paper we…
A cone structure on a complex manifold $M$ is a closed submanifold $\mathcal C \subset \mathbb P TM$ of the projectivized tangent bundle which is submersive over $M$. A conic connection on $\mathcal C$ specifies a distinguished family of…
We construct an explicit canonical cycle in the top-dimensional homology of the Voronoi complex associated with an arithmetic group. This cycle relates to the cohomology of SL$_n(\mathbb{Z})$ with rational coefficients at the virtual…
Let $P_{\lambda\Sigma_n}$ be the Ehrhart polynomial associated to an intergal multiple $\lambda$ of the standard symplex $\Sigma_n \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. In this paper we prove that if $(M, L)$ is an $n$-dimensional polarized toric manifold…
The purpose of this paper is to review some combinatorial ideas behind the mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and complete intersections in Gorenstein toric Fano varieties. We suggest as a basic combinatorial object the notion of…
In this paper we give a review of the method of imsets introduced by Studeny (2005) from a geometric point of view. Elementary imsets span a polyhedral cone and its dual cone is the cone of supermodular functions. We review basic facts on…
We describe the structure of the monoid of natural-valued monotone functions on an arbitrary poset. For this monoid we provide a presentation, a characterization of prime elements, and a description of its convex hull. We also study the…
In this note, we explore the connections between the confluent Vandermonde matrix over an arbitrary field and several mathematical topics, including interpolation polynomials, Hasse derivatives, LU factorization, companion matrices and…
The goal of this paper is to develop the theory of Courant algebroids with integrable para-Hermitian vector bundle structures by invoking the theory of Lie bialgebroids. We consider the case where the underlying manifold has an almost…
Many (if not most) of convex polytopes, important for combinatorial and algebraic geometry, are closely related to secondary polytopes of point configurations, or base polytopes of submodular functions, or their numerous variations and…
We introduce the singular cohomology ring of a matroid which extends the Chow ring of a matroid. This is defined as the singular cohomology ring of a certain quasi-projective toric variety associated to the matroid. Using the matroidal…
In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Cohen-Macaulayness of the tangent cone of a monomial curve in the 4-dimensional affine space. We study particularly the case where $C$ is a Gorenstein non-complete…
In this paper, we study the connected blocks polytope, which, apart from its own merits, can be seen as the generalization of certain connectivity based or Eulerian subgraph polytopes. We provide a complete facet description of this…
In this paper, we show that the Gorenstein global dimension of trivial ring extensions is often infinite. Also we study the transfer of Gorenstein properties between a ring and its trivial ring extensions. We conclude with an example…
Given $d$ row vectors of $n$ tropical numbers, $d<n$, the tropical Stiefel map constructs a version of their row space, whose Pl\"ucker coordinates are tropical determinants. We explicitly describe the fibers of this map. From the viewpoint…
We give characterizations of Gorenstein projective, Gorenstein flat and Gorenstein injective modules over the group algebra for large families of infinite groups and show that every weak Gorenstein projective, weak Gorenstein flat and weak…
We investigate the relationship between the level of a bounded complex over a commutative ring with respect to the class of Gorenstein projective modules and other invariants of the complex or ring, such as projective dimension, Gorenstein…
