A partially ordered set is r-thick if every nonempty open interval contains at least r elements. This paper studies the flag vectors of graded, r-thick posets and shows the smallest convex cone containing them is isomorphic to the cone of…
An arbitrary-depth reduction theorem for the `convolution' multiple L-values of Euler-Zagier type is proven by an analytic method. To this end, generalized polylogarithms associated to Dirichlet characters are defined. The proof uses the…
In this paper, we provide an overview of Ehrhart polynomials associated with order polytopes of finite posets, a concept first introduced by Stanley. We focus on their combinatorial interpretations for many sequences listed on the OEIS. We…
Given a finite simplicial complex L and a collection of pairs of spaces indexed by its vertex set, one can define their polyhedral product. We record a simple formula for its Euler characteristic. In special cases the formula simplifies…
In this paper we study the novel notion of thin polytopes: lattice polytopes whose local $h^*$-polynomials vanish. The local $h^*$-polynomial is an important invariant in modern Ehrhart theory. Its definition goes back to Stanley with…
Christos Athanasiadis studies an effective technique to show that Gorenstein sequences coming from compressed polytopes are unimodal. In the present paper we will use such the technique to find a rich class of Gorenstein toric rings with…
We prove that any lower unitriangular and totally nonnegative matrix gives rise to a family of polynomials with only real zeros. This has consequences for problems in several areas of mathematics. We use it to develop a general theory for…
Via duality of Hopf algebras, there is a direct association between peak quasisymmetric functions and enumeration of chains in Eulerian posets. We study this association explicitly, showing that the notion of $\cd$-index, long studied in…
Motivated by recent results on the (possibly conditional) regularity for time-dependent hypoelliptic equations, we prove a parabolic version of the Poincar\'e inequality, and as a consequence, we deduce a version of the classical Moser…
Our starting point is a basic problem in Hermite interpolation theory, namely determining the least degree of a homogeneous polynomial that vanishes to some specified order at every point of a given finite set. We solve this problem if the…
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…
The aim of this expository note is to prove that any $1$-subgaussian random vector is dominated in the convex ordering by a universal constant times a standard Gaussian vector. This strengthens Talagrand's celebrated subgaussian comparison…
We show that for a reductive group $G$ over a field $k$ the $\mathbb{A}^1$-Euler characteristic of the variety of maximal tori in $G$ is an invertible element of the Grothendieck-Witt ring $\mathrm{GW}(k)$, settling the weak form of a…
Consider a homogeneous polynomial $p(z_1,...,z_n)$ of degree $n$ in $n$ complex variables . Assume that this polynomial satisfies the property : \\ $|p(z_1,...,z_n)| \geq \prod_{1 \leq i \leq n} Re(z_i)$ on the domain $\{(z_1,...,z_n) :…
We introduce the notion of a weighted $\delta$-vector of a lattice polytope. Although the definition is motivated by motivic integration, we study weighted $\delta$-vectors from a combinatorial perspective. We present a version of Ehrhart…
An improved a.e. lower bound is given for Hausdorff dimension under vertical projections in the first Heisenberg group, with respect to the Carnot-Carath\'eodory metric. This improves the known lower bound, and answers a question of…
Let $X$ be a convex polyomino such that its vertex set is a sublattice of $\mathbb{N}^2$. Let $\Bbbk[X]$ be the toric ring (over a field $\Bbbk$) associated to $X$ in the sense of Qureshi, \emph{J. Algebra}, 2012. Write the Hilbert series…
We define a subclass of Hessenberg varieties called abelian Hessenberg varieties, inspired by the theory of abelian ideals in a Lie algebra developed by Kostant and Peterson. We give an inductive formula for the $S_n$-representation on the…
We revisit the notion of intuitionistic equivalence and formal proof representations by adopting the view of formulas as exponential polynomials. After observing that most of the invertible proof rules of intuitionistic (minimal)…
We establish a polynomial recursion formula for linear Hodge integrals. It is obtained as the Laplace transform of the cut-and-join equation for the simple Hurwitz numbers. We show that the recursion recovers the Witten-Kontsevich theorem…
