The unital endomorphisms of B(H) of (Powers) index n are classified by certain U(n)-orbits in the set of non-degenerate representations of the Cuntz algebra O_n on H. Using this, the corre- sponding conjugacy classes are identified, and a…
We investigate properties of Ehrhart polynomials for matroid polytopes, independence matroid polytopes, and polymatroids. In the first half of the paper we prove that for fixed rank their Ehrhart polynomials are computable in polynomial…
It is known that every integral convex polytope is unimodularly equivalent to a face of some Gorenstein Fano polytope. It is then reasonable to ask whether every normal polytope is unimodularly equivalent to a face of some normal Gorenstein…
We describe the cohomology groups of a homogeneous vector bundle $E$ on any Hermitian symmetric variety $X=G/P$ of ADE type as the cohomology of a complex explicitly described. The main tool is the equivalence between the category of…
For a Weyl group $W$ and a $W$-permutohedron $P$, there are associated toric varieties $X_P$ and $X_{P/W_K}$ for any parabolic subgroup $W_K$ of $W$, since the quotient $P/W_K$ can be identified with a polytope inside $P$. We construct an…
We characterize convex isoperimetric sets in the Heisenberg group endowed with horizontal perimeter. We first prove Sobolev regularity for a certain class of vector fields in the plane with bounded variation, related to the curvature…
We establish a connection between the orbifold cohomology of hypertoric varieties and the Ehrhart theory of Lawrence polytopes. More specifically, we show that the dimensions of the orbifold cohomology groups of a hypertoric variety are…
We study $\gamma$-vectors associated with $h^*$-vectors of symmetric edge polytopes both from a deterministic and a probabilistic point of view. On the deterministic side, we prove nonnegativity of $\gamma_2$ for any graph and completely…
The Ehrhart polynomial of an integral convex polytope counts the number of lattice points in dilates of the polytope. In math.CO/0402148, the authors conjectured that for any cyclic polytope with integral parameters, the Ehrhart polynomial…
A "spectral convex set" is a collection of symmetric matrices whose range of eigenvalues form a symmetric convex set. Spectral convex sets generalize the Schur-Horn orbitopes studied by Sanyal-Sottile-Sturmfels (2011). We study this class…
We give a combinatorial formula for the Ehrhart $h^*$-vector of the hypersimplex. In particular, we show that $h^{*}_{d}(\Delta_{k,n})$ is the number of hypersimplicial decorated ordered set partitions of type $(k,n)$ with winding number…
The Ehrhart polynomial $\text{ehr}_P(n)$ of a lattice polytope $P$ counts the number of integer points in the $n$-th integral dilate of $P$. The $f^*$-vector of $P$, introduced by Felix Breuer in 2012, is the vector of coefficients of…
We introduce the notion of a weighted $\delta$-vector of a lattice polytope. Although the definition is motivated by motivic integration, we study weighted $\delta$-vectors from a combinatorial perspective. We present a version of Ehrhart…
A polynomial has saturated Newton polytope (SNP) if every lattice point of the convex hull of its exponent vectors corresponds to a monomial. We compile instances of SNP in algebraic combinatorics (some with proofs, others conjecturally):…
The convex hull $P_{n}$ of a Gaussian sample $X_{1},...,X_{n}$ in $R^{d}$ is a Gaussian polytope. We prove that the expected number of facets $E f_{d-1} (P_n)$ is monotonically increasing in $n$. Furthermore we prove this for random…
The Ehrhart ring of the edge polytope $\mathcal{P}_G$ for a connected simple graph $G$ is known to coincide with the edge ring of the same graph if $G$ satisfies the odd cycle condition. This paper gives for a graph which does not satisfy…
The Ehrhart polynomial $L_P$ of an integral polytope $P$ counts the number of integer points in integral dilates of $P$. Ehrhart polynomials of polytopes are often described in terms of their Ehrhart $h^*$-vector (aka Ehrhart…
We consider the Berglund-H\"ubsch transpose of a bimodal invertible polynomial and construct a triangulated category associated to the compactification of a suitable deformation of the singularity. This is done in such a way that the…
We describe a family of shellings for the canonical triangulation of the order polytope of the zig-zag poset. This gives a new combinatorial interpretation for the coefficients in the numerator of the Ehrhart series of this order polytopein…
We consider a formula of Stanley that expresses the Ehrhart generating polynomial of a polyhedral complex in terms of the h-polynomials of toric varieties. We prove that the coefficients in this expression are all non-negative and show that…
