It is well known that ascents, descents and plateaux are equidistributed over the set of classical Stirling permutations. Their common enumerative polynomials are the second-order Eulerian polynomials, which have been extensively studied by…

We present an extensive study of the Eulerian distribution on the set of self evacuated involutions, namely, involutions corresponding to standard Young tableaux that are fixed under the Sch$\ddot{\textrm{u}}$tzenberger map. We find some…

Let $M^{r}$ be a connected orientable manifold with the Euler characteristic $\chi(M)\not \equiv 0\operatorname{mod}6$. Denote by $\mathrm{SAut}(F_{n})$ the unique subgroup of index two in the automorphism group of a free group. Then any…

This work has two complementary parts, in the first part we compute the local Euler obstruction of generic determinantal varieties and apply this result to compute the Chern--Schwartz--MacPherson class of such varieties. In the second part…

Consider the space Hom(Z^n,G) of pairwise commuting n-tuples of elements in a compact Lie group G. This forms a real algebraic variety, which is generally singular. In this paper, we construct a desingularization of the generic component of…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $N\unlhd G$ with $|G: N|=p$ for some prime $p$. In this note, to compute $m_{G,N}$ directly, we construct a class poset $\mathfrak{T}_{C}(G)$ of $G$ for some cyclic subgroup $C$. And we find a relation between…

We construct a new autoequivalence of the derived category of the Hilbert scheme of n points on a K3 surface, and of the variety of lines on a smooth cubic 4-fold. For Hilb^2 and the variety of lines, we use the theory of spherical…

The adjacency matrix of a symplectic dual polar graph restricted to the eigenspaces of an abelian automorphism subgroup is shown to act as the adjacency matrix of a weighted subspace lattice. The connection between the latter and…

Let V be a finite dimensional complex vector space and V^* its dual and let X in P(V) be a smooth projective variety of dimension n and degree d at least two. For a generic n-tuple of hyperplanes H_1,...,H_n in P(V^*)^n, the intersection of…

An explicit Dirichlet series is obtained, which represents an analytic function of $s$ in the half-plane $\Re s>1/2$ except for having simple poles at points $s_j$ that correspond to exceptional eigenvalues $\lambda_j$ of the non-Euclidean…

The Deligne-Simpson problem in the multiplicative version is formulated like this: {\em give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $C_j\in SL(n,{\bf C})$ so that there exist irreducible $(p+1)$-tuples…

We compute the automorphism group of the dual complex $\mathsf{T}_{d, n}$ of the boundary divisor in the Kontsevich moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0, n}(\mathbb{P}^r, d)$. When $d \geq 2$, we find that $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathsf{T}_{d,…

The generalized Dehn-Sommerville relations determine the odd subalgebra of the combinatorial Hopf algebra. We introduce a class of eulerian hypergraphs that satisfy the generalized Dehn-Sommerville relations for the combinatorial Hopf…

There are (at least) two different approaches to define equivariant analogue of the Euler charateristic for a space with a finite group action. The first one defines it as an element of the Burnside ring of the group. The second approach…

We construct and analyse models of equivariant cohomology for differentiable stacks with Lie group actions extending classical results for smooth manifolds due to Borel, Cartan and Getzler. We also derive various spectral sequences for the…
