We establish a congruence modulo four in the real Schubert calculus on the Grassmannian of m-planes in 2m-space. This congruence holds for fibers of the Wronski map and a generalization to what we call symmetric Schubert problems. This…
Towards confirming Sun's conjecture on the strict log-concavity of combinatorial sequence involving the n$th$ Bernoulli number, Chen, Guo and Wang proposed a conjecture about the log-concavity of the function…
We observe that certain numbers occurring in Schubert calculus for SL_n also occur as entries in intersection forms controlling decompositions of Soergel bimodules and parity sheaves in higher rank. These numbers grow exponentially. This…
We establish a combinatorial connection between the real geometry and the $K$-theory of complex Schubert curves $S(\lambda_\bullet)$, which are one-dimensional Schubert problems defined with respect to flags osculating the rational normal…
We prove versions of Khintchine's Theorem (1924) for approximations by rational numbers whose numerators lie in randomly chosen sets of integers, and we explore the extent to which the monotonicity assumption can be removed. Roughly…
We develop numerical homotopy algorithms for solving systems of polynomial equations arising from the classical Schubert calculus. These homotopies are optimal in that generically no paths diverge. For problems defined by hypersurface…
By using a result from the numerical algebraic geometry package Bertini we show that (up to high numerical accuracy) a specific set of degree 6 and degree 9 polynomials cut out the secant variety $\sigma_{4}(\mathbb{P}^{2}\times \mathbb{P}…
In the large rank limit, for any nonexceptional affine algebra, the graded branching multiplicities known as one-dimensional sums, are conjectured to have a simple relationship with those of type A, which are known as generalized Kostka…
We generalize our puzzle formula for ordinary Schubert calculus on Grassmannians, to a formula for the T-equivariant Schubert calculus. The structure constants to be calculated are polynomials in {y_{i+1} - y_i}; they were shown…
We study the back stable $K$-theory Schubert calculus of the infinite flag variety. We define back stable (double) Grothendieck polynomials and double $K$-Stanley functions and establish coproduct expansion formulae. Applying work of…
The Green-Lazarsfeld secant conjecture predicts that the syzygies of a curve of sufficiently high degree are controlled by its special secants. We prove this conjecture for all curves of Clifford index at least two and not bielliptic and…
In our previous work arXiv:1305.3543, we employed the approach to Schubert polynomials by Fomin, Stanley, and Kirillov to obtain simple, uniform proofs that the double Schubert polynomials of Lascoux and Schutzenberger and Ikeda, Mihalcea,…
We establish a combinatorial connection between the real geometry and the $K$-theory of complex Schubert curves $S(\lambda_\bullet)$, which are one-dimensional Schubert problems defined with respect to flags osculating the rational normal…
This is a survey article on Morse theory based on lectures to graduate students and advanced undergraduates. After a brief review of standard material, mostly without proofs, the Morse theory of complex Grassmannian manifolds is worked out…
For a long time, Collatz Conjecture has been assumed to be true, although a formal proof has eluded all efforts to date. In this article, evidence is presented that suggests such an assumption is incorrect. By analysing the stopping times…
We study the discrete and continuous versions of the Markus- Yamabe Conjecture for polynomial vector fields in R^n (especially when n = 3) of the form X = \lambda I+H where \lambda is a real number, I the identity map, and H a map with…
We give a conjectured evaluation of the determinant of a certain matrix $\tilde{D}(n,k)$. The entries of $\tilde{D}(n,k)$ are either 0 or specializations $\mathfrak{S}_w(1,\dots,1)$ of Schubert polynomials. The conjecture implies that the…
By applying a Gr\"{o}bner-Shirshov basis of the symmetric group $S_{n}$, we give two formulas for Schubert polynomials, either of which involves only nonnegative monomials. We also prove some combinatorial properties of Schubert…
We definitively establish that the theory of symmetric Macdonald polynomials aligns with quantum and affine Schubert calculus using a discovery that distinguished weak chains can be identified by chains in the strong (Bruhat) order poset on…
The monodromy conjecture is an umbrella term for several conjectured relationships between poles of zeta functions, monodromy eigenvalues and roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomials in arithmetic geometry and singularity theory. Even the…
