Gyroscopic metamaterials --- mechanical structures composed of interacting spinning tops --- have recently been found to support one-way topological edge excitations. In these structures, the time reversal symmetry breaking that enables…
The modeling and control of networks over finite lattices are studied via the algebraic state space approach. Using the semi-tensor product of matrices, we obtain the algebraic state space representation of the dynamics of (control)…
We obtain an algorithmic construction of the isotropy lattice for a lifted action of a Lie group $G$ on $TM$ and $T^*M$ based only on the knowledge of $G$ and its action on $M$. Some applications to symplectic geometry are also shown.
We present a mathematical and algorithmic scheme for learning the principal geometric elements in an image or 3D object. We build on recent work that convexifies the basic problem of finding a combination of a small number shapes that…
In 1986, Oliver Pretzel studied the set of orientations of a connected finite graph $G$ and showed that any two such orientations having the same flow-difference around all closed loops can be obtained from one another by a succession of…

We introduce the minor-closed, dual-closed class of multi-path matroids. We give a polynomial-time algorithm for computing the Tutte polynomial of a multi-path matroid, we describe their basis activities, and we prove some basic structural…
Greene and Owens explore cubiquitous lattices as an obstruction to rational homology 3-spheres bounding rational homology 4-balls. The purpose of this article is to better understand which sublattices of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ are cubiquitous with…
Inspired by Bruggesser-Mani's line shellings of polytopes, we introduce line shellings for the lattice of flats of a matroid: given a normal complex for a Bergman fan of a matroid induced by a building set, we show that the lexicographic…
We study paving matroids, their realization spaces, and their closures, along with matroid varieties and circuit varieties. Within this context, we introduce three distinct methods for generating polynomials within the associated ideals of…

We consider a periodic lattice structure in $d=2$ or $3$ dimensions with unit cell comprising $Z$ thin elastic members emanating from a similarly situated central node. A general theoretical approach provides an algebraic formula for the…
It is well known that not every combinatorial configuration admits a geometric realization with points and lines. Moreover, some of them do not even admit realizations with pseudoline arrangements, i.e., they are not topological. In this…
We suggest that a certain one-to-one parametrization of completely positive maps on the matrix algebra might be useful in the study of quantum channels. This is illustrated in the case of binary quantum channels. While the algorithm is…
For a presentation $\mathcal{A}$ of a transversal matroid $M$, we study the set $T_{\mathcal{A}}$ of single-element transversal extensions of $M$ that have presentations that extend $\mathcal{A}$; we order these extensions by the weak…
This article is a survey of matroid theory aimed at algebraic geometers. Matroids are combinatorial abstractions of linear subspaces and hyperplane arrangements. Not all matroids come from linear subspaces; those that do are said to be…
