The "neural code" is the way the brain characterizes, stores, and processes information. Unraveling the neural code is a key goal of mathematical neuroscience. Topology, coding theory, and, recently, commutative algebra are some the…
The number of faces of the convex hull of $n$ independent and identically distributed random points chosen on the boundary of a smooth convex body in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is investigated. In dimensions two and three the number of $k$-faces is…
The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimisation, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this…
An algorithm is presented that generates sets of size equal to the degree of a given variety defined by a homogeneous ideal. This algorithm suggests a versatile framework to study various problems in combinatorial algebraic geometry and…
We introduce an elementary method to study the border rank of polynomials and tensors, analogous to the apolarity lemma. This can be used to describe the border rank of all cases uniformly, including those very special ones that resisted a…
Border complexity captures functions that can be approximated by low-complexity ones. Debordering is the task of proving an upper bound on some non-border complexity measure in terms of a border complexity measure, thus getting rid of…
In this paper we give new upper bounds on the regularity of edge ideals whose resolutions are k-steps linear; surprisingly, the bounds are logarithmic in the number of variables. We also give various bounds for the projective dimension of…
A beautiful result of Br\"ocker and Scheiderer on the stability index of basic closed semi-algebraic sets implies, as a very special case, that every $d$-dimensional polyhedron admits a representation as the set of solutions of at most…
We introduce a concept of bilinear ideal of jointly completely bounded mappings between operator spaces. In particular, we study the bilinear ideals $\mathcal{N}$ of completely nuclear, $\mathcal{I }$ of completely integral, $\mathcal{E}$…
Let $G$ be a graph on the vertex set $[n]$ and $J_G$ the associated binomial edge ideal in the polynomial ring $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots,x_n,y_1,\ldots,y_n]$. In this paper we investigate the depth of binomial edge ideals. More precisely, we…
In combinatorial commutative algebra and algebraic statistics many toric ideals are constructed from graphs. Keeping the categorical structure of graphs in mind we give previous results a more functorial context and generalize them by…
We show that one can enumerate the vertices of the convex hull of integer points in polytopes whose constraint matrices have bounded and nonzero subdeterminants, in time polynomial in the dimension and encoding size of the polytope. This…
In 1965 Buchberger defined Gr\"obner bases and an algorithm to compute them. Despite a slow start, already in the eighties Gr\"obner bases had become the main device for symbolic computations involving polynomials as well as a theoretical…
In this article we study the Golod property of standard graded algebras. We show that determinantal ideals, binomial edge ideals, and permanental ideals are Golod if and only if they have a linear resolution. Next, we give a…
In this work, we extend modular techniques for computing Gr\"obner bases involving rational coefficients to (two-sided) ideals in free algebras. We show that the infinite nature of Gr\"obner bases in this setting renders the classical…
We consider the phylogenetic tree model in which every node of the tree is observed and binary and the transitions are given by the same matrix on each edge of the tree. We are able to compute the Grobner basis and Markov basis of the toric…
We introduce orbitopes as the convex hulls of 0/1-matrices that are lexicographically maximal subject to a group acting on the columns. Special cases are packing and partitioning orbitopes, which arise from restrictions to matrices with at…
Computation of parallel lines (envelopes) to parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas is of importance in structure engineering and theory of mechanisms. Homogeneous polynomials that implicitly define parallel lines for the given offset to a…
This thesis is a study of large sets of unit vectors in $\cx^n$ such that the absolute value of their standard inner products takes on only a small number of values. We begin with bounds: what is the maximal size of a set of lines with only…
We present a new upper bound for the orders of derivatives in the Rosenfeld-Groebner algorithm. This algorithm computes a regular decomposition of a radical differential ideal in the ring of differential polynomials over a differential…
