Let $I$ be a squarefree monomial ideal of a polynomial algebra over a field minimally generated by $f_1,...,f_r$ of degree $ d\geq 1$, and a set $E$ of monomials of degree $\geq d+1$. Let $J\subsetneq I$ be a squarefree monomial ideal…

In this note, we study properties of the gradient map of the isoparametric polynomial. For a given isoparametric hypersurface in sphere, we calculate explicitly the gradient map of its isoparametric polynomial which turns out many…

We consider two basic problems of algebraic topology, the extension problem and the computation of higher homotopy groups, from the point of view of computability and computational complexity. The extension problem is the following: Given…

We study the topology of toric maps. We show that if $f\colon X\to Y$ is a proper toric morphism, with $X$ simplicial, then the cohomology of every fiber of $f$ is pure and of Hodge-Tate type. When the map is a fibration, we give an…

We present an algorithmic equivalent statement to the Jacobian conjecture. Given a polynomial map F on an affine space of dimension n, our algorithm constructs n sequences of polynomials such that F is invertible if and only if the zero…

An $r$-matrix is a matrix with symbols in $\{0,1,\ldots,r-1\}$. A matrix is simple if it has no repeated columns. Let ${\cal F}$ be a finite set of $r$-matrices. Let $\hbox{forb}(m,r,{\cal F})$ denote the maximum number of columns possible…

In this short note we provide the example with the lowest degree known so far of a non-injective local polynomial diffeomorphism $F=(p,q):\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$. In our example $p$ has degree $10$ and $q$ has degree $15$, rather…

We consider maps on genus-$g$ surfaces with $n$ (labeled) faces of prescribed even degrees. It is known since work of Norbury that, if one disallows vertices of degree one, the enumeration of such maps is related to the counting of lattice…

We provide an algorithm to classify the asymptotic sets of the dominant polynomial mappings $F: \C^3 \to \C^3$ of degree 2, using the definition of the so-called "{\it fa\c{c}ons}" in \cite{Thuy}. We obtain a classification theorem for the…

This paper revisits the notion of classical orthogonal polynomials from a broader functional-analytic point of view. It is intended neither as a survey of known results nor as a review of the literature, but rather as a conceptual…

An abstract topological graph (briefly an AT-graph) is a pair $A=(G,\mathcal{X})$ where $G=(V,E)$ is a graph and $\mathcal{X}\subseteq {E \choose 2}$ is a set of pairs of its edges. The AT-graph $A$ is simply realizable if $G$ can be drawn…

A classic problem in analysis is to solve nonlinear equations of the form \begin{equation*} F(x)=0, \end{equation*} where $F:D^n\to \mathbb{R}^m$ is a continuous map of the closed unit disk $D^n\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ in $\mathbb{R}^m$. A…

In this paper we present an equivalent statement to the Jacobian conjecture. For a polynomial map F on an affine space of dimension n, we define recursively n finite sequences of polynomials. We give an equivalent condition to the…

We study the proportion of conics given by $(\mathcal{C}_{\mathbf{F}, \mathbf{y}}) : F_0(\mathbf{y})x_0^2 + F_1(\mathbf{y})x_1^2 = F_2( \mathbf{y})x_2^2 $ which have a rational point $\mathbf{x} = (x_0 :x_1:x_2) \in…

In this article we prove that the adjoint polynomial of arbitrary convex polytopes is up to scaling uniquely determined by vanishing to the right order on the polytopes residual arrangement. This answers a problem posed by Kohn and Ranestad…

We propose an algebraic geometry framework for the Kakeya problem. We conjecture that for any polynomials $f,g\in\F_{q_0}[x,y]$ and any $\F_q/\F_{q_0}$, the image of the map $\F_q^3\to\F_q^3$ given by $(s,x,y)\mapsto…

We give an exponential upper and a quadratic lower bound on the number of pairwise non-isotopic simple closed curves can be placed on a closed surface of genus g such that any two of the curves intersects at most once. Although the gap is…

We study the dual graph polynomials and the case when a Feynman graph has no triangles but has a 4-face. This leads to the proof of the duality-admissibility of all graphs up to 18 loops. As a consequence, the $c_2$ invariant is the same…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a real plane algebraic curve defined by the resultant of two polynomials (resp. by the discriminant of a polynomial). Geometrically such a curve is the projection of the intersection of the surfaces $P(x,y,z)=Q(x,y,z)=0$…

This article is about polynomial maps with a certain symmetry and/or antisymmetry in their Jacobians, and whether the Jacobian Conjecture is satisfied for such maps, or whether it is sufficient to prove the Jacobian Conjecture for such…
