We prove a conjecture of Medvedev and Scanlon for endomorphisms of connected commutative linear algebraic groups $G$ defined over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{k}$ of characteristic $0$. That is, if $\Phi\colon G\longrightarrow G$…

Abstract polytopes generalize the classical notion of convex polytopes to more general combinatorial structures. The most studied ones are regular and chiral polytopes, as it is well-known, they can be constructed as coset geometries from…

We define in an axiomatic fashion a \emph{Coxeter datum} for an arbitrary Coxeter group $W$. This Coxeter datum will specify a pair of reflection representations of $W$ in two vector spaces linked only by a bilinear paring without any…

We describe polar homology groups for complex manifolds. The polar k-chains are subvarieties of complex dimension k with meromorphic forms on them, while the boundary operator is defined by taking the polar divisor and the Poincare residue…

A simple convex polytope $P$ is \emph{cohomologically rigid} if its combinatorial structure is determined by the cohomology ring of a quasitoric manifold over $P$. Not every $P$ has this property, but some important polytopes such as…

We classify (*)-subgroups of compact Lie groups of adjoint type, and associate a twisted root system to every (*)-subgroup. We study the structure of twisted root system in several aspects: properties of the small Weyl group W_{small} and…

Let p be prime. A noncommutative p-solenoid is the C*-algebra of Z[1/p] x Z[1/p] twisted by a multiplier of that group, where Z[1/p] is the additive subgroup of the field Q of rational numbers whose denominators are powers of p. In this…

Let A be a unital C* algebra with involution * represented in a Hilbert space H, G the group of invertible elements of A, U the unitary group of A, G^s the set of invertible selfadjoint elements of A, Q={e in G : e^2 = 1} the space of…

It is known that Shintani zeta functions, which generalise multiple zeta functions, extend to meromorphic functions with poles on affine hyperplanes. We refine this result in showing that the poles lie on hyperplanes parallel to the facets…

We study the pluripolar hull of the graph of a holomorphic function f, defined on a domain D in the complex plane outside a polar set A of D. This leads to a theorem that describes under what conditions f is nowhere extendable over A, while…

Zonotopes are studied from the point of view of central symmetry and how volumes of facets and the angles between them determine a zonotope uniquely. New proofs are given for theorems of Shephard and McMullen characterizing a zonotope by…

Voronoi defined two polyhedral partitions of the cone of se\mi\de\fi\nite forms into L-type domains and into perfect domains. Up to equivalence, there is only one domain that is simultaneously perfect and L-type. Voronoi called this domain…

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a Dynkin diagram and let $\Pi=\{\alpha_1,\dots ,\alpha_{\ell}\}$ be the simple roots of the corresponding Kac--Moody root system. Let $\mathfrak{h}$ denote the Cartan subalgebra, let $W$ denote the Weyl group and let…

Given a set of forms f={f_1,...,f_m} in R=k[x_1,...,x_n], where k is a field of characteristic zero, we focus on the first syzygy module Z of the transposed Jacobian module D(f), whose elements are called differential syzygies of f. There…

Let $K$ be a field and $\phi(z)\in K[z]$ be a polynomial. Define $\Phi(z) := \frac{1}{\phi(z)} \in K(z).$ For $n \in\mathbb{N}^* $, let the $n$-th iterate of $\Phi(z)$ be defined as $\Phi^{(n)}(z) = \underbrace{\Phi \circ \Phi \circ \cdots…

Let f_1 and f_2 be affine maps of the N-th dimensional affine space over the complex numbers, i.e., f_i(x):=A_i x + y_i (where each A_i is an N-by-N matrix and y_i is a given vector), and let x_1 and x_2 be vectors such that x_i is not…

In this paper, we show that the Chvatal-Gomory closure of a compact convex set is a rational polytope. This resolves an open question discussed in Schrijver [Schrijver 80'] and generalizes the same result for the case of rational polytopes…

See Parts I and II in alg-geom/9711032 and alg-geom/9712033. Here we classify maximal hyperbolic root systems of the rank three having restricted arithmetic type and a generalized lattice Weyl vector $\rho$ with $\rho^2<0$ (i. e. of the…

For certain polynomials we relate the number of roots inside the unit circle with the index of a non-degenerate isolated umbilic point on a real analytic surface in Euclidean 3-space. In particular, for $N>0$ we prove that for a certain…

Let $G=(V, E)$ be an undirected graph. The spanning trees polytope $P(G)$ is the convex hull of the characteristic vectors of all spanning trees of $G$. In this paper, we describe all facets of $P(G)$ as a consequence of the facets of the…
