In Ehrhart theory, the $h^*$-vector of a rational polytope often provide insights into properties of the polytope that may be otherwise obscured. As an example, the Birkhoff polytope, also known as the polytope of real doubly-stochastic…
Using the twistor correspondence, we give a classification of toric anti-self-dual Einstein metrics: each such metric is essentially determined by an odd holomorphic function. This explains how the Einstein metrics fit into the…
A theorem due to Kazhdan and Ziegler implies that, by substituting linear forms for its variables, a homogeneous polynomial of sufficiently high strength specialises to any given polynomial of the same degree in a bounded number of…
A lattice polytope $\mathcal{P}$ is called reflexive if its dual $\mathcal{P}^\vee$ is a lattice polytope. The property that $\mathcal{P}$ is unimodularly equivalent to $\mathcal{P}^\vee$ does not hold in general, and in fact there are few…
We exhibit a lower-triangular matrix of polynomials $T(a,c,d,e,f,g)$ in six indeterminates that appears empirically to be coefficientwise totally positive, and which includes as a special case the Eulerian triangle. We prove the…
In this article, we use Lindstr\"om Gessel Viennot Lemma to give a short, combinatorial, visualizable proof of the identity of Schur polynomials -- the sum of monomials of Young tableaux equals to the quotient of determinants. As a…
There is a natural notion of a subdivision of a lower Eulerian poset called a strong formal subdivision, which abstracts the notion of a polyhedral subdivision of a polytope, or a proper, surjective morphism of fans. We show that there is a…
The flag vector contains all the face incidence data of a polytope, and in the poset setting, the chain enumerative data. It is a classical result due to Bayer and Klapper that for face lattices of polytopes, and more generally, Eulerian…
In this paper, we introduce new combinatorial invariants of any finite simple graph, which arise in toric topology. We compute the $i$-th (rational) Betti number and Euler characteristic of the real toric variety associated to a graph…
Two of the pillars of combinatorics are the notion of choosing an arbitrary subset of a set with $n$ elements (which can be done in $2^n$ ways), and the notion of choosing a $k$-element subset of a set with $n$ elements (which can be done…
We obtain a family of explicit "polyhedral" combinatorial expressions for multiplicities in the tensor product of two simple finite-dimensional modules over a complex semisimple Lie algebra. Here "polyhedral" means that the multiplicity in…
We call a poset factorable if its characteristic polynomial has all positive integer roots. Inspired by inductive and divisional freeness of a central hyperplane arrangement, we introduce and study the notion of inductive posets and their…
We prove certain identities involving Euler and Bernoulli polynomials that can be treated as recurrences. We use these and also other known identities to indicate connection of Euler and Bernoulli numbers with entries of inverses of certain…
We introduce sub-Eulerian polynomials to count elements of $D_n$ by which a recurrence relation for the Eulerian polynomials of type $D$ is obtained.
We give an elementary proof of the fact that a pure-dimensional closed subvariety of a complex abelian variety has a signed intersection homology Euler characteristic. We also show that such subvarieties which, moreover, are local complete…
The aim of the inverse Galois problem is to find extensions of a given field whose Galois group is isomorphic to a given group. In this article, we are interested in subgroups of GL(2,Z/nZ) where n is an integer. We know that, in general,…
We describe the non-Gorenstein loci of normal toric varieties. In the case of Hibi rings a combinatorial description is provided in terms of the underlying partially ordered set. As a non-toric application we compute the dimensions of the…
We construct many nonpolytopal nonsimplicial Gorenstein* meet semi-lattices with nonnegative toric g-vector, supporting a conjecture of Stanley. These are formed as Bier spheres over the face posets of multiplexes, polytopes constructed by…
Toric codes are obtained by evaluating rational functions of a nonsingular toric variety at the algebraic torus. One can extend toric codes to the so called generalized toric codes. This extension consists on evaluating elements of an…
Twisted Lie algebroid cohomologies, i.e. with values in representations, are shown to be Lie algebroid homotopy-invariant. Several important classes of examples are discussed. As an application, a generalized version of the Poincar\'e lemma…
