We study some sequences of polynomials that appear when we consider the successive derivatives of the tree function (or Lambert's W function). We show in particular that they are related with a generalization of Cayley trees, called Greg…
Riemann surfaces with nodes can be described by introducing simple composite operators in matrix models. In the case of the Kontsevich model, it is sufficient to add the quadratic, but ``non-propagating'', term (tr[X])^2 to the Lagrangian.…
Joyce vertex algebras are vertex algebra structures defined on the homology of certain $\mathbb{C}$-linear moduli stacks, and are used to express wall-crossing formulae for Joyce's homological enumerative invariants. This paper studies the…
We derive a formula for the number of lattice points in type B generalized permutohedra, providing a concise alternative to the formula obtained recently by Eur, Fink, Larson, and Spink as a result from a study of delta-matroids. Our…
By analogy with algebraic geometry, we define a category of non-linear sheaves (quasi-coherent homotopy-sheaves of topological spaces) on projective toric varieties and prove a splitting result for its algebraic K-theory, generalising…
Jukes-Cantor model is one of the most meaningful statistical models from a biological perspective. We are interested in computing the algebraic degrees for phylogenetic varieties, which we call phylogenetic degrees, associated to the…
Counting linear extensions is a fundamental problem in poset theory. It is known to be #P-complete, with polynomial-time formulas available in special cases. In this work, we develop new recursive formulas for counting linear extensions of…
We study a combinatorial notion where given a set of lattice points one takes the set of all sums of subsets of a fixed size, and we ask if the given set comes from a convex lattice polytope whether the resulting set also comes from a…
In this article, a study of the scalar field shells in relativistic spherically symmetric configurations has been performed. We construct the composite solution of Jordan-Brans-Dicke field equation by matching the conformal Brans solutions…
This paper investigates the stratification of the discriminant hypersurface associated with a univariate polynomial via the number of its distinct complex roots. We introduce two novel approaches different from the one based on…
We present an analogue of the differential calculus in which the role of polynomials is played by certain ordered sets and trees. Our combinatorial calculus has all nice features of the usual calculus and has an advantage that the elements…
The Tutte polynomial for matroids is not directly applicable to polymatroids. For instance, deletion-contraction properties do not hold. We construct a polynomial for polymatroids which behaves similarly to the Tutte polynomial of a…
This monograph derives direct and concrete relations between colored Jones polynomials and the topology of incompressible spanning surfaces in knot and link complements. Under mild diagrammatic hypotheses that arise naturally in the study…
A well-known open problem in graph theory asks whether Stanley's chromatic symmetric function, a generalization of the chromatic polynomial of a graph, distinguishes between any two non-isomorphic trees. Previous work has proven the…
A common theme of enumerative combinatorics is formed by counting functions that are polynomials evaluated at positive integers. In this expository paper, we focus on four families of such counting functions connected to hyperplane…
We find all spectral type differential equations satisfied by the symmetric generalized ultraspherical polynomials which are orthogonal on the interval [-1,1] with respect to the classical symmetric weight function for the Jacobi…
Let $T$ be a tree on $n$ vertices with $q$-Laplacian $L_T^q$ and Laplacian matrix $L_T$. Let $GTS_n$ be the generalized tree shift poset on the set of unlabelled trees on $n$ vertices. Inequalities are known between coefficients of the…
We prove that every indefinite quadratic form with non-negative integer coefficients is the volume polynomial of a pair of lattice polygons. This solves the discrete version of the Heine-Shephard problem for two bodies in the plane. As an…
We study the set of square-free parts of volume polynomials associated with four planar lattice polytopes. This is motivated by the problem of describing possible pairwise intersection numbers of four curves in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^2$ with…
The principal goal of the paper is to apply the approach inspired by the theory of integrable systems to construct explicit sections of line bundles over the combinatorial model of the moduli space of pointed Riemann surfaces based on…
