To each multiple point $p$ in a line arrangement $ \mathcal A$ in the complex projective plane we associate a local derivation $\tilde D_p \in D_0( \mathcal A)$. We show first that these derivations span the graded module of derivations…

It is known after Jouanolou that a general holomorphic foliation of degree $\geq2$ in projective space has no algebraic leaf. We give formulas for the degrees of the subvarieties of the parameter space of one-dimensional foliations that…

We show that the reduced point variety of a quantum polynomial algebra is the union of specific linear subspaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$, we describe its irreducible components and give a combinatorial description of the possible configurations…

The first half of this paper is largely expository, wherein we present a systematic combinatorial approach to the theory of polynomial (semi)invariants and multilinear invariants of several vectors and covectors, for the classical groups.…

In these notes we study hyperplane arrangements having at least one logarithmic derivation of degree two that is not a combination of degree one logarithmic derivations. It is well-known that if a hyperplane arrangement has a linear…

We consider the 2-generated free metabelian associative and Lie algebras over the complex field and the invariants of the dihedral groups of finite order acting on these algebras. In the associative case we find a finite set of generators…

The following observation must surely be "well-known", but it seems worth giving a simple and quite explicit proof. Take any finite subset X of Rn, n>1. Then, there is a polynomial function P:Rn -> R which has local minima on the set X, and…

First and second fundamental theorems are given for polynomial invariants of a class of pseudo-reflection groups (including the Weyl groups of type $B_n$), under the assumption that the order of the group is invertible in the base field.…

Singular vectors of a representation of a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra are weight vectors in the underlying module that are nullified by positive root vectors. In this article, we use partial differential equations to find all the…

We introduce an algorithm that exploits a combinatorial symmetry of an arrangement in order to produce a geometric reflection between two disconnected components of its moduli space. We apply this method to disqualify three real examples…

Let $A$ be a subvariety of affine space $\mathbb{A}^n$ whose irreducible components are $d$-dimensional linear or affine subspaces of $\mathbb{A}^n$. Denote by $D(A)\subset\mathbb{N}^n$ the set of exponents of standard monomials of $A$. We…

This article studies separating invariants for the ring of multisymmetric polynomials in $m$ sets of $n$ variables over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$. We prove that in order to obtain separating sets it is enough to consider polynomials…

We introduce and study module structures on both the dgla of multiplicative vector fields and the graded algebra of functions on Lie groupoids. We show that there is an associated structure of a graded Lie-Rinehart algebra on the vector…

In this paper, we investigate vector fields on polyhedral complexes and their associated trajectories. We study vector fields which are analogue of the gradient vector field of a function in the smooth case. Our goal is to define a nice…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field and let $f$ be a linear polynomial in $\mathbb{F}[x]$. We investigate the number of polynomials of degree $d$ which commute with $f$ under composition. In so doing, we rediscover a result of Park, but with…

It is shown that certain transformations on quiver-dimension vector pairs induce isomorphisms on the corresponding moduli spaces of quiver representations and map a stable dimension vector to a stable dimension vector. This result combined…

A basic combinatorial invariant of a convex polytope $P$ is its $f$-vector $f(P)=(f_0,f_1,\dots,f_{\dim P-1})$, where $f_i$ is the number of $i$-dimensional faces of $P$. Steinitz characterized all possible $f$-vectors of $3$-polytopes and…

We define and study a class of finite topological spaces, which model the cell structure of a space obtained by gluing finitely many Euclidean convex polyhedral cells along congruent faces. We call these finite topological spaces,…

In this paper we will prove that there exists a covariant functor from the category of schemes to the category of graphs. This functor provides a combination between algebraic varieties and combinatorial graphs so that the invariants…

A combinatorial rectangle may be viewed as a matrix whose entries are all +-1. The discrepancy of an m by n matrix is the maximum among the absolute values of its m row sums and n column sums. In this paper, we investigate combinatorial…
