We present a change of basis that may allow more efficient calculation of the volumes of Birkhoff polytopes using a slicing method. We construct the basis from a special set of square matrices. We explain how to construct this basis easily…

We give a formula in terms of multidimensional resultants for an equation for the flex locus of a projective hypersurface, generalizing a classical result of Salmon for surfaces. Using this formula, we compute the dimension of this flex…

Let $\Delta$ be an $n$-dimensional lattice polytope. The smallest non-negative integer $i$ such that $k \Delta$ contains no interior lattice points for $1 \leq k \leq n - i$ we call the degree of $\Delta$. We consider lattice polytopes of…

We study a lattice duality among families of $K3$ surfaces associated to coupling pairs that admit polytope duality with trivial toric contribution.

In this paper we prove a conjecture about the dimension of linear systems of surfaces of degree d in P^3 through at most eight multiple points in general position.

This article concerns the computational problem of counting the lattice points inside convex polytopes, when each point must be counted with a weight associated to it. We describe an efficient algorithm for computing the highest degree…

In this paper we calculate the Ehrhart's polynomial associated with a 2-dimensional regular polytope (i.e. equilateral triangles) in $\mathbb Z^3$. The polynomial takes a relatively simple form in terms of the coordinates of the vertices of…

In this article we study minimal flat Lorentzian surfaces in Lorentzian complex space forms. First we prove that, for minimal flat Lorentzian surfaces in a Lorentzian complex form, the equation of Ricci is a consequence of the equations of…

Equivariant Ehrhart theory generalizes the study of lattice point enumeration to also account for the symmetries of a polytope under a linear group action. We present a catalogue of techniques with applications in this field, including…

In this article we consider surfaces in the product space $\h^2\times \r$ of the hyperbolic plane $\h^2$ with the real line. The main results are: a description of some geometric properties of minimal graphs; new examples of complete…

Let $d \geq 0$ be an integer and let $P \subset \mathbb R^d$ be a $d$-dimensional lattice polytope. We call a polytope $M \subset \mathbb R^d$ such that $M \subset P$ and $M \sim P$ a {\itshape miniature} of $P,$ and it is said to be…

First we solve the problem of finding minimal degree families on toric surfaces by reducing it to lattice geometry. Then we describe how to find minimal degree families on, more generally, rational complex projective surfaces.

The Lasserre's reconstruction algorithm is extended to the D-polytopes with the construction of their shape space. Thus, the areas of d-skeletons $(1\leq d\leq D)$ can be expressed as functions of the areas and normal bi-vectors of the…

In this work, we consider 2-surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$ arising from the modified Korteweg de Vries (mKdV) equation. We give a method for constructing the position vector of the mKdV surface explicitly for a given solution of the mKdV…

We prove area bounds for planar convex bodies in terms of their number of interior integral points and their lattice width data. As an application, we obtain sharp area bounds for rational polygons with a fixed number of interior integral…

Using a ribbon structure of the graph, we construct a dissection of the symmetric edge polytope of a graph into unimodular simplices. Our dissection is shellable, and one can interpret the elements of the resulting $h$-vector via graph…

The simulations of the light scalar mesons on the lattice are presented at the introductory level. The methods for determining the scalar meson masses are described. The problems related to some of these methods are presented and their…

Flat surfaces that correspond to meromorphic $1$-forms or to meromorphic quadratic differentials containing poles of order two and higher are surfaces of infinite area. We classify groups that appear as Veech groups of translation surfaces…

This paper is devoted to a study of the connection between the immersion functions of two-dimensional surfaces in Euclidean or hyperbolic spaces and classical orthogonal polynomials. After a brief description of the soliton surfaces…
