In this paper we study algorithmic aspects of tropical intersection theory. We analyse how divisors and intersection products on tropical cycles can actually be computed using polyhedral geometry. The main focus of this paper is the study…
A bracket is a function that assigns a number to each monomial in variables \tau_0, \tau_1, ... We show that any bracket satisfying the string and the dilaton relations gives rise to a power series lying in the algebra A generated by the…
In this paper, we study a new moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{n+1}^{\mathrm{c}}$, which is obtained from $\mathcal{M}_{0,2n+2}$ by identifying pairs of punctures. We find that this space is tiled by $2^{n-1}n!$ cyclohedra, and construct the…
Recently R. Pandharipande, J. Solomon and R. Tessler initiated a study of the intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. They conjectured that the generating series of the intersection numbers is a specific…
The goal of this very short note is to give a new proof of Faber's formula for the socle intersection numbers in the tautological ring of $\mathcal{M}_g$. This new proof exhibits a new beautiful tautological relation that stems from the…
Homology groups of spaces of nonsingular polynomial embeddings ${\bf R}^1 \to {\bf R}^n$ of degrees $\le 4$ are calculated. A general algebraic technique of such calculations for spaces of polynomial knots of arbitrary degrees is described.
We compute the Poincare polynomial and the cohomology algebra with rational coefficeints of the manifold M_n of real points of the moduli space of algebraic curves of genus 0 with n labeled points. This cohomology is a quadratic algebra,…
We give an algebro-geometric derivation of the known intersection theory on the moduli space of stable rank 2 bundles of odd degree over a smooth curve of genus g. We lift the computation from the moduli space to a Quot scheme, where we…
We present closed form expressions for the ranks of all cohomology groups of holomorphic line bundles on several Calabi-Yau threefolds realised as complete intersections in products of projective spaces. The formulae have been obtained by…
The theory of intersection spaces assigns cell complexes to certain stratified topological pseudomanifolds depending on a perversity function in the sense of intersection homology. The main property of the intersection spaces is Poincar\'e…
In this paper we study the homology and cohomology of confguration spaces of two distinct particles on a graph. Our main tool is intersection theory for cycles in graphs. We obtain an explicit description of the cohomology algebra of the…
We derive self-reciprocity properties for a number of polyomino generating functions, including several families of column-convex polygons, three-choice polygons and staircase polygons with a staircase hole. In so doing, we establish a…
The intersection numbers of p-spin curves are computed through correlation functions of Gaussian ensembles of random matrices in an external matrix source. The p-dependence of intersection numbers is determined as polynomial in p; the large…
We introduce moduli spaces of abelian varieties which are arithmetic models of Shimura varieties attached to unitary groups of signature (n-1, 1). We define arithmetic cycles on these models and study their intersection behaviour. In…
A self-avoiding polygon is a lattice polygon consisting of a closed self-avoiding walk on a square lattice. Surprisingly little is known rigorously about the enumeration of self-avoiding polygons, although there are numerous conjectures…
We study intersections of orbits in polynomial semigroup dynamics with lines on the affine plane over a number field, extending previous work of D. Ghioca, T. Tucker, M. Zieve (2008)
The goal of this article is to motivate and describe how Gromov-Witten theory can and has provided tools to understand the moduli space of curves. For example, ideas and methods from Gromov-Witten theory have led to both conjectures and…
This article investigates the intersection numbers of the moduli space of p-spin curves with the help of matrix models. The explicit integral representations that are derived for the generating functions of these intersection numbers…
In this review I discuss intersection numbers of twisted cocycles and their relation to physics. After defining what these intersection number are, I will first discuss a method for computing them. This is followed by three examples where…
Multiple orthogonal polynomials satisfy a number of recurrence relations, in particular there is a $(r+2)$-term recurrence relation connecting the type II multiple orthogonal polynomials near the diagonal (the so-called step-line recurrence…
