The bigraded Betti numbers b^{-i,2j}(P) of a simple polytope P are the dimensions of the bigraded components of the Tor groups of the face ring k[P]. The numbers b^{-i,2j}(P) reflect the combinatorial structure of P as well as the topology…
We show that for any degree $d$ hypersurface $Y \subset X$ in a possibly singular projective variety $X \subset \mathbf{P}^N$, the total Betti number of $Y$ is bounded by $3\text{deg}(X)\cdot d^n + C\cdot d^{n-1}$ for some explicit constant…
We prove a strengthening of the trickle down theorem for partite complexes. Given a $(d+1)$-partite $d$-dimensional simplicial complex, we show that if "on average" the links of faces of co-dimension 2 are $\frac{1-\delta}{d}$-(one-sided)…
Bipolar orientations of planar maps have recently attracted some interest in combinatorics, probability theory and theoretical physics. Plane bipolar orientations with $n$ edges are known to be counted by the $n$th Baxter number $b(n)$,…
Singular vectors are those for which the quality of rational approximations provided by Dirichlet's Theorem can be improved by arbitrarily small multiplicative constants. We provide an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of singular…
This paper deals with two main topics related to Diophantine approximation. Firstly, we show that if a point on an algebraic variety is approximable by rational vectors to a sufficiently large degree, the approximating vectors must lie in…
We study a one-parameter family of vector-valued polynomials associated to each simple Lie algebra. When this parameter $q$ equals -1 one recovers Joseph polynomials, whereas at $q$ cubic root of unity one obtains ground state eigenvectors…
The coefficients of the chain polynomial of a finite poset enumerate chains in the poset by their number of elements. The chain polynomials of the partition lattices and their standard type $B$ analogues are shown to have only real roots.…
We study simplices with equiareal faces in the Euclidean 3-space by means of elementary geometry. We present an unexpectedly simple proof of the fact that, if such a simplex is non-degenerate, than every two of its faces are congruent. We…
We consider the line graph of a pure simplicial complex. We prove that, as in the case of line graphs of simple graphs, one can compute the second graded Betti number of the facet ideal of a pure simplicial complex in terms of the…
We prove a Bakry-\'Emery generalization of a theorem of Petersen and Wilhelm, itself a generalization of a theorem of Frankel, that closed minimal hypersurfaces in a complete manifold with a suitable curvature bound must intersect. We then…
This paper concerns random bipartite planar maps which are defined by assigning weights to their faces. The paper presents a threefold contribution to the theory. Firstly, we prove the existence of the local limit for all choices of weights…
In this paper, we characterize all possible h-vectors of 2-dimensional Buchsbaum simplicial complexes.
This paper shows that simplicial oriented geometries can be characterized as groupoids with root systems having certain favorable properties, as conjectured by the first author. The proof first translates Handa's characterization of…
For collapsing sequences of Riemannian manifolds which satisfy a uniform lower Ricci curvature bound it is shown that there is a sequence of scales such that for a set of good base points of large measure the pointed rescaled manifolds…
We classify the complementary vectors of doubly Cohen-Macaulay complexes. This proves a conjecture of Swartz, negatively answers a question of Athanasiadis and Tzanaki, and gives new bounds on the number of independent sets in a matroid.…
Our first main result is a uniform bound, in every dimension $k \in \mathbb N$, on the topological Tur\'an numbers of $k$-dimensional simplicial complexes: for each $k \in \mathbb N$, there is a $\lambda_k \ge k^{-2k^2}$ such that for any…
Let $\lambda$ be a dominant weight of a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra and $W$ the Weyl group. The convex hull of $W\lambda$ is defined as the weight polytope of $\lambda$. We provide a new proof that there is a natural bijection…
In geometric, algebraic, and topological combinatorics, the unimodality of combinatorial generating polynomials is frequently studied. Unimodality follows when the polynomial is (real) stable, a property often deduced via the theory of…
In complex vector spaces maximal sets of equiangular lines, known as SICs, are related to real quadratic number fields in a dimension dependent way. If the dimension is of the form $n^2+3$ the base field has a fundamental unit of negative…
