For a hyperplane arrangement in a real vector space, the coefficients of its Poincar\'{e} polynomial have many interpretations. An interesting one is provided by the Varchenko-Gel'fand ring, which is the ring of functions from the chambers…

We describe all inequalities among generalized diagonals in positive semi-definite matrices. These turn out to be governed by a simple partial order on the symmetric group. This provides an analogue of results of Drake, Gerrish, and…

We define a triangular change of basis in which the form is diagonal and explicitly compute the diagonal entries of this matrix as products of quotients of Chebyshev polynomials, corroborating the determinant computation of Ko and…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition in order for a hyperplane arrangement to be of Torelli type, namely that it is recovered as the set of unstable hyperplanes of its Dolgachev sheaf of logarithmic differentials. Decompositions and…

Using some resolution of singularities methods of the author, a generalization of a well-known theorem of Varchenko relating decay of oscillatory integrals to the Newton polyhedron is proven. They are derived from analogous results for…

A (global) determinantal representation of hypersurface in P^n is a matrix, whose entries are linear forms in homogeneous coordinates and whose determinant defines the hypersurface. We study the properties of such representations for…

An arrangement of hyperplanes is called formal, if the relations between the hyperplanes are generated by relations in codimension 2. Formality is not a combinatorial property, raising the question for a characterization for combinatorial…

A hyperplane arrangement is called formal provided all linear dependencies among the defining forms of the hyperplanes are generated by ones corresponding to intersections of codimension two. The significance of this notion stems from the…

This paper is devoted to the classification problems concerning extended deformations of convex polyhedra and real hyperplane arrangements in the following senses: combinatorial equivalence of face posets, normal equivalence on normal fans…

Artin's conjecture is established for all forms that can be realised as a diagonal form on an hyperplane.

In this article we prove in the main theorem that, there is a bijection between the isomorphism classes of a certain type of real hyperplane arrangements on the one hand, and the antipodal pairs of convex cones of an associated…

In this paper the concept of homothetic parallelogram is introduced. This concept is a generalization of Varignon's and Wittenbauer's parallelograms of an arbitrary quadrangle, whose diagonals are not parallel. A formula for the area and…

We define the concept of higher order differential operators on a general noncommutative, nonassociative superalgebra A, and show that a vertex operator superalgebra has plenty of them, namely modes of vertex operators. A linear operator…

In this article we prove two main results. Firstly, we show that any six-line arrangement, consisting of three pairs of mutually perpendicular lines, does not give rise to a "very generic or sufficiently general" discriminantal arrangement…

This paper presents a parametrization of a degenerate density matrix. The problem needs to be approached first with a diagonalized form (the spectral representation) to deal with degeneracy. Such a form is useful for this parametrization in…

A hermitian matrix can be parametrized by a set consisting of its determinant and the eigenvalues of its submatrices. We established a group of equations which connect these variables with the mixing parameters of diagonalization. These…

A semi-infinite weighted Hankel matrix with entries defined in terms of basic hypergeometric series is explicitly diagonalized as an operator on $\ell^{2}(\mathbb{N}_{0})$. The approach uses the fact that the operator commutes with a…

Mirsky proved that, for the existence of a complex matrix with given eigenvalues and diagonal entries, the obvious necessary condition is also sufficient. We generalize this theorem to matrices over any field and provide a short proof.…

If a real symmetric matrix of linear forms is positive definite at some point, then its determinant is a hyperbolic hypersurface. In 2007, Helton and Vinnikov proved a converse in three variables, namely that every hyperbolic plane curve…

We classify one-element extensions of a hyperplane arrangement by the induced adjoint arrangement. Based on the classification, several kinds of combinatorial invariants including Whitney polynomials, characteristic polynomials, Whitney…
