We give bijective proofs of Monk's rule for Schubert and double Schubert polynomials computed with bumpless pipe dreams. In particular, they specialize to bijective proofs of transition and cotransition formulas of Schubert and double…
The Hirsch conjecture, posed in 1957, stated that the graph of a $d$-dimensional polytope or polyhedron with $n$ facets cannot have diameter greater than $n - d$. The conjecture itself has been disproved, but what we know about the…
The 2-girth of a 2-dimensional simplicial complex $X$ is the minimum size of a non-zero 2-cycle in $H_2(X, \mathbb{Z}/2)$. We consider the maximum possible girth of a complex with $n$ vertices and $m$ 2-faces. If $m = n^{2 + \alpha}$ for…
This thesis explores two specific topics of discrete geometry, the multitriangulations and the polytopal realizations of products, whose connection is the problem of finding polytopal realizations of a given combinatorial structure. A…
In their study of infinite flag varieties, Lam, Lee, and Shimozono (2021) introduced bumpless pipe dreams in a new combinatorial formula for double Schubert polynomials. These polynomials are the TxT-equivariant cohomology classes of matrix…
The volume of a k-dimensional foliation $\mathcal{F}$ in a Riemannian manifold $M^{n}$ is defined as the mass of image of the Gauss map, which is a map from M to the Grassmann bundle of k-planes in the tangent bundle. Generalizing a…
Let $\Delta_k(n)$ denote the simplicial complex of $(k+1)$-crossing-free subsets of edges in $\binom{[n]}{2}$. Here $k,n\in \mathbb N$ and $n\ge 2k+1$. Jonsson (2003) proved that (neglecting the short edges that cannot be part of any…
Our aim is to do a come back on Schiffer's and Pompeiu's conjectures with shape optimization tools, maximum principles and Serrin's symmetry method. We propose a way to get affirmative answers in some cases. We propose also sufficient…
We put recent results on the symmetry of the joint distribution of the numbers of crossings and nestings of two edges over matchings, set partitions and linked partitions, in the larger context of the enumeration of increasing and…
We determine a one-to-one correspondence between Milnor fibers and minimal symplectic fillings of a quotient surface singularity (up to diffeomorphism type) by giving an explicit algorithm to compare them mainly via techniques from the…
We prove a conjecture of Guo and Poznanovi\'{c} concerning chains in certain 01-fillings of moon polyominoes. A key ingredient of our proof is a correspondence between words $w$ and pairs $(\mathcal{W}(w), \mathcal{M}(w))$ of increasing…
We study the factorization of Schubert polynomials into elementary symmetric polynomials. We conjecture that this occurs when the permutation corresponding to the Schubert polynomial does not contain the patterns $1432$, $1423$, $4132$, and…
We prove that if a complete connected $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ has radial sectional curvature at a base point $p\in M$ bounded from below by the radial curvature function of a two-sphere of revolution $\widetilde M$ belonging…
We answer a question of K. Mulmuley: In [Efremenko-Landsberg-Schenck-Weyman] it was shown that the method of shifted partial derivatives cannot be used to separate the padded permanent from the determinant. Mulmuley asked if this "no-go"…
We note that the recent polynomial proofs of the spherical and complex plank covering problems by Zhao and Ortega-Moreno give some general information on zeros of real and complex polynomials restricted to the unit sphere. As a corollary of…
We establish a stronger symmetry between the numbers of northeast and southeast chains in the context of 01-fillings of moon polyominoes. Let $\M$ be a moon polyomino with $n$ rows and $m$ columns. Consider all the 01-fillings of $\M$ in…
We study the discrete graph-metric analogue of Gromov's filling area problem for the cycle graph \(C_n\). An abstract triangulation \(K\) is an isometric filling of \(C_n\) if \(\partial K=C_n\) and the graph distance between any two…
Three of the viable solutions of the solar neutrino problem are consistent with close to maximal leptonic mixing: $\sin^2\theta_{12}={1\over2}(1-\epsilon_{12})$ with $|\epsilon_{12}|\ll1$. Flavor models can naturally explain close to…
The maximal chain polytope $\mathscr{M}(P)$ is associated with a finite poset $P$. For a set of maximal chains $\mathcal{C}$, it is shown that the convex hull of all the points corresponding to elements of $\mathcal{C}$ is not a face of…
Let $(R,\mm)$ be a Noetherian local ring and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We say $M$ has maximal depth if there is an associated prime $\pp$ of $M$ such that $\depth M=\dim R/\pp$. In this paper we study squarefree monomial ideals…
