Tensor hierarchy algebras constitute a class of non-contragredient Lie superalgebras, whose finite-dimensional members are the "Cartan-type" Lie superalgebras in Kac's classification. They have applications in mathematical physics,…
This is an introductory survey, from a geometric perspective, on the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) for real matrices, focusing on the role of the Terracini Lemma. We extend this point of view to tensors, we define the singular space of…
The goal of this paper is to make a connection between tropical geometry, representations of quantum affine algebras, and scattering amplitudes in physics. The connection allows us to study important and difficult questions in these areas:…
Since the first famous correspondence theorem by Mikhalkin appeared in 2005, tropical geometry has allowed a parallel treatment of real and complex counting problems. A prime example are the genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants of the plane…
We consider maximal non-$l$-intertwining collections, which are a higher-dimensional version of the maximal non-crossing collections which give clusters of Pl\"ucker coordinates in the Grassmannian coordinate ring, as described by Scott. We…
The teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) is represented in a field-theoretical form, where tetrad and matter perturbations are propagated on a background solution of TEGR. Thus, the background tetrad and metric satisfy the…
A class of matroids is introduced which is very large as it strictly contains all paving matroids as special cases. As their key feature these split matroids can be studied via techniques from polyhedral geometry. It turns out that the…
We investigate different notions of linear independence and of matrix rank that are relevant for max-plus or tropical semirings. The factor rank and tropical rank have already received attention, we compare them with the ranks defined in…
A greedoid is a generalization of a matroid allowing for more flexible analyses and modeling of combinatorial optimization problems. However, these structures decimate many matroid properties contributing to their pervasive nature. A…
Using tropical geometry one can translate problems in enumerative geometry to combinatorial problems. Thus tropical geometry is a powerful tool in enumerative geometry over the complex and real numbers. Results from $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy…
We study the tropical analogue of the notion of polar of a cone, working over the semiring of tropical numbers with signs. We characterize the cones which arise as polars of sets of tropically nonnegative vectors by an invariance property…
For a complex hypersurface of dimension $d \geq 1$ in a toric variety, we construct lifts of tropical $(p, q)$-cycles with $p+q=d$ in the associated tropical hypersurface. The tropical cycles we consider are described by Minkowski weights,…
This document is a slightly expanded version of a series of talks given by J. Giansiracusa at the workshop `Geometry over semirings' at Universitat Aut\`{o}noma de Barcelona in July 2025. In the first lecture we introduce tropical…
We prove a $q$-refined tropical correspondence theorem for higher genus descendant logarithmic Gromov--Witten invariants with a $\lambda_g$ class in toric surfaces. Specifically, a generating series of such logarithmic Gromov--Witten…
We revisit the representation theory in type $A$used previously to establish that the dissimilarity vectors of phylogenetic trees are points on the tropical Grassmannian variety. We use a different version of this construction to show that…
In the last few years there has been a growing interest towards methods for statistical inference and learning based on computational geometry and, notably, tropical geometry, that is, the study of algebraic varieties over the min-plus…
The purpose of this article is to investigate triangularization and simultaneous triangularization of matrices over max algebras using graph theoretic methods. We establish a connection between commutators and commutants with simultaneous…
The Cayley-Menger variety is the Zariski closure of the set of vectors specifying the pairwise squared distances between $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. This variety is fundamental to algebraic approaches in rigidity theory. We study the…
In the framework of teleparallel gravity, the Friedman-Robertson-Walker cosmological model with scalar tensor theory where scalar field is non-minimally coupled to both the torsion scalar and boundary term is studied. Utilizing the Noether…
We study the moduli space of $d$-dimensional linear subspaces contained in a fixed $(d+1)$-dimensional linear variety $X$, and its tropicalization. We prove that these moduli spaces are linear subspaces themselves, and thus their…
