In this note we provide a counter-example to a conjecture of K. Pardue [Thesis, Brandeis University, 1994.], which asserts that if a monomial ideal is $p$-Borel-fixed, then its $\naturals$-graded Betti table, after passing to any field does…

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…

This is the second of two papers where we study polytopes arising from affine Coxeter arrangements. Our results include a formula for their volumes, and also compatible definitions of hypersimplices, descent numbers and major index for all…

We study Abelian ideals of a Borel subalgebra consisting of long roots. It is shown that methods of Cellini and Papi can be extended to this situation. A uniform expression for the number of long Abelian ideals is given. We also show that…

We introduce and study integral planes associated with crystallographic and non-crystallographic integral systems in real composition algebras. For an integral order $\Order$ in such an algebra we define the plane $\Order^{2}$ with…

We consider the restrictions of Shi arrangements to Weyl cones, their relations to antichains in the root poset, and their intersection posets. For any Weyl cone, we provide bijections between regions, flats intersecting the cone, and…

Let $I$ be an ideal of the polynomial ring $A[x]=A[x_1,...,x_n]$ over the commutative, noetherian ring $A$. Geometrically $I$ defines a family of affine schemes over $\Spec(A)$: For $\p\in\Spec(A)$, the fibre over $\p$ is the closed…

Let $\Delta$ be a root system with a subset of positive roots, $\Delta^+$. We consider edges of the Hasse diagrams of some posets associated with $\Delta^+$. For each edge one naturally defines its type, and we study the partition of the…

We classify irreducible finite-dimensional modules of a collection of real Lie superalgebras that includes the simple ones, their classical variants, complex Lie superalgebras after restriction of scalars, and all real Lie algebras. Our…

In this paper we use the technique of Hopf algebras and quasi-symmetric functions to study the combinatorial polytopes. Consider the free abelian group $\mathcal{P}$ generated by all combinatorial polytopes. There are two natural bilinear…

We give formulas for the number of ad-nilpotent ideals of a Borel subalgebra of a Lie algebra of type B or D containing a fixed number of root spaces attached to simple roots. This result solves positively a conjecture of Panyushev (cf. D.…

The (extended) Linial arrangement $\mathcal{L}_{\Phi}^m$ is a certain finite truncation of the affine Weyl arrangement of a root system $\Phi$ with a parameter $m$. Postnikov and Stanley conjectured that all roots of the characteristic…

Let $ V $ a vector space of dimension $n$. A $V$ family $ \{H_1, \ldots, H_p \} $ of vectorial hyperplanes being distinct two by two defines an arrangement $ {\cal A}_p = {\cal A} ( H_1, \ldots ,H_p ) $ of $ V $. For $ i \in \{ 1, \ldots, p…

Tropical polytopes are images of polytopes in an affine space over the Puiseux series field under the degree map. This viewpoint gives rise to a family of cellular resolutions of monomial ideals which generalize the hull complex of Bayer…

In this paper we show that the pipe dream complex associated to the permutation 1n(n-1)...2 can be geometrically realized as a triangulation of the vertex figure of a root polytope. Leading up to this result we show that the Grothendieck…

We consider ad-nilpotent ideals of a Borel subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra. The goal of this paper is two-fold. First, we study the ad-nilpotent ideals lying inside the Heisenberg ideal. The Heisenberg ideal is the nilpotent radical of…

The order complex of inclusion poset $PF_n$ of Borel orbit closures in skew-symmetric matrices is investigated. It is shown that $PF_n$ is an EL-shellable poset, and furthermore, its order complex triangulates a ball. The rank-generating…
