Let V_n be the Segre embedding of (P^1) x ... X (P^1) (n times). We prove that the higher secant varieties, \sigma_s(V_n), always have the expected dimension, except for \sigma_3(V_4), which is of dimension 1 less than expected.

The second squarefree Veronese subring in $n$ variables is the edge ring of the complete graph with $n$ vertices. It is proved that every second squarefree Veronese subring possesses a Koszul filtration.

We consider graded rings $R$ generated by $n$ homogeneous elements of positive integer degrees $w_1, \ldots, w_n$ that have least common multiple $d$. We show that for every integer $k \geq \max(1, n-2)$, the $kd$th Veronese subring…

Counting interior-disjoint empty convex polygons in a point set is a typical Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres-type problem. We study this problem for 4-gons. Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane and in general position. A subset $Q$ of $P$, with…

In this paper, we study minimal generators of the (saturated) defining ideal of $\sigma_k(v_d(\mathbb{P}^n))$ in $\mathbb{P}^{N}$ with ${N=\binom{n+d}{d}-1}$, the $k$-secant variety of $d$-uple Veronese embedding of projective $n$-space, of…

Let lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3, \lambda_4 be non-zero real numbers, not all negative, with \lambda_1/\lambda_2 irrational and algebraic. Suppose that \mathcal{V} is a well-spaced sequence and \delta >0. In this paper, it is proved that…

In this paper we study singularities of third secant varieties of Veronese embedding $v_d(\mathbb{P}^n)$, which corresponds to the variety of symmetric tensors of border rank at most three in $(\mathbb{C}^{n+1})^{\otimes d}$.

Main purpose of this work is to introduce a general technique of projection of the Voronoi tessellation of the weight lattice $A_n^\ast$ and apply it for the lattice $A_4^\ast$. The projection of the Voronoi tessellation of the weight…

We give a new proof of an old identity of Dixon (1865-1936) that uses tools from topological combinatorics. Dixon's identity is re-established by constructing an infinite family of non-pure simplicial complexes $\Delta(n)$, indexed by the…

We prove that for all $d \geq 1$ a shellable $d$-dimensional simplicial complex with at most $d+3$ vertices is extendably shellable. The proof involves considering the structure of `exposed' edges in chordal graphs as well as a connection…

Motivation coming from the study of affine Weyl groups, a structure of ranked poset is defined on the set of circular permutations in $S_n$ (that is, $n$-cycles). It is isomorphic to the poset of so-called admitted vectors, and to an…

The concept of a matroid quotient has connections to fundamental questions in the geometry of flag varieties. In previous work, Benedetti and Knauer characterized quotients in the class of lattice path matroids (LPMs) in terms of a simple…

The notion of noncrossing partitions of a partially ordered set (poset) is introduced here. When the poset in question is $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$ with the complete order of natural numbers, conventional noncrossing partitions arise. The…

For a bounded and graded poset $P$, we show that if $P$ is EL-shellable, then so is its $t$-fold Segre power $P^{(t)}=P\circ \cdots \circ P$ ($t$ factors), as defined by Bj\"orner and Welker [J. Pure Appl. Algebra, 198(1-3), 43--55 (2005)].…

We show that the order complex of intervals of a poset, ordered by inclusion, is a Tchebyshev triangulation of the order complex of the original poset. Besides studying the properties of this transformation, we show that the dual of the…

We prove the endomorphism conjecture for graded posets whose largest Whitney number is at most 4. In particular, this implies the endomorphism conjecture is true for graded posets of width at most 4.

Alon and Shapira proved that every monotone class (closed under taking subgraphs) of undirected graphs is strongly testable, that is, under the promise that a given graph is either in the class or $\varepsilon$-far from it, there is a test…

Probabilistic circuits (PCs) enable exact and tractable inference but employ data independent mixture weights that limit their ability to capture local geometry of the data manifold. We propose Voronoi tessellations (VT) as a natural way to…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated right $A$-module for a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ over a filed $\Bbbk$, and $\mathcal{I}$ the additive closure of $G$. We will define a $\mathcal{I}$-relative Koszul coresolution…

We introduce the poset of mesh patterns, which generalises the permutation pattern poset. We fully classify the mesh patterns for which the interval [1^\emptyset,m] is non-pure, where 1^\emptyset is the unshaded singleton mesh pattern. We…
