We define and study the totally nonnegative part of the Chow quotient of the Grassmannian, or more simply the nonnegative configuration space. This space has a natural stratification by positive Chow cells, and we show that nonnegative…
We construct minor-closed addable families of graphs that are subcritical and contain all planar graphs. This contradicts (one direction of) a well-known conjecture of Noy.
We describe a class of integrable systems on Poisson submanifolds of the affine Poisson-Lie groups $\widehat{PGL}(N)$, which can be enumerated by cyclically irreducible elements the co-extended affine Weyl groups $(\widehat{W}\times…
We characterize the equisingularity classes of irreducible plane curve germs whose general members have a Newton nondegenerate general polar curve. In addition, we give explicit Zariski open sets of curves in such equisingularity classes…
We introduce algebroid desingularizable Poisson manifolds, a class of Poisson manifolds induced by symplectic Lie algebroids with almost-injective anchors, generalizing structures including log-symplectic, $b^m$-symplectic, $E$-symplectic…
This article proves the existence of completely positive quasimultiplicative maps from the group algebra of imprimitive reflection groups to the set of bounded operators, and uses those linear maps to define creation and annihilation…
We investigate the construction of exponential families from statistical manifolds, a central problem in information geometry. We prove that every compact statistical manifold admits a singular foliation whose leaves are Hessian manifolds.…
Given a classical $r$-matrix on a Poisson algebra, we show how to construct a natural family of compatible Poisson structures for the Hamiltonian formulation of Lax equations. Examples for which our formalism applies include the Benny…
The main aim of this paper is to establish a deep link between the totally nonnegative grassmannian and the quantum grassmannian. More precisely, under the assumption that the deformation parameter $q$ is transcendental, we show that…
In a seminal 1994 paper, Lusztig extended the theory of total positivity by introducing the totally non-negative part (G/P)_{\geq 0} of an arbitrary (generalized, partial) flag variety G/P. He referred to this space as a "remarkable…
We prove that any holomorphic Poisson manifold has an open symplectic leaf which is a pseudo-K\"ahler submanifold, and we define an obstruction to study the equivariance of momentum map for tangential Poisson action. Some properties of…
Noncommutatively deformed geometries, such as the noncommutative torus, do not exist generically. I showed in a previous paper that the existence of such a deformation implies compatibility conditions between the classical metric and the…
In this note the notion of Poisson brackets in Kontsevich's "Lie World" is developed. These brackets can be thought of as "universally" defined classical Poisson structures, namely formal expressions only involving the structure maps of a…
Algebras generated by strictly positive matrices are described up to similarity, including the commutative, simple, and semisimple cases. We provide sufficient conditions for some block diagonal matrix algebras to be generated by a set of…
The basic result of this note is a statement about the existence of families of partitions of the set of natural numbers with some favourable properties, the n-optimal matrices of partitions. We use this to improve a decomposition result…
This paper determines the symplectic leaves for a remarkable Poisson structure on $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ discovered by Feigin and Odesskii, and, independently, by Polishchuk. The Poisson bracket is determined by a holomorphic line…
We present some basic results on a natural Poisson structure on any compact symmetric space. The symplectic leaves of this structure are related to the orbits of the corresponding real semisimple group on the complex flag manifold.
The paper is devoted to quadratic Poisson structures compatible with the canonical linear Poisson structures on trivial 1-dimensional central extensions of semisimple Lie algebras. In particular, we develop the general theory of such…
New families of nonnegative biquadratic forms that have 8, 9 or 10 real zeros in $\mathbb{P}^2\times \mathbb{P}^2$ are constructed. These are the first examples with 8, 9 or 10 real zeros. It is known that nonnegative biquadratic forms with…
We study the relation between the integer tropical points of a cluster variety (satisfying the full Fock-Goncharov conjecture) and the totally positive part of the tropicalization of an ideal presenting the corresponding cluster algebra.…
