For a smooth hypersurface of even dimension, the quadratic character of the absolute Galois group defined by the determinant of the l-adic cohomology of middle dimension is computed via the square root of the discriminant of a defining…

Resultant $R_{r_1, ..., r_n}$ defines a condition of solvability for a system of $n$ homogeneous polynomials of degrees $r_1, ..., r_n$ in $n$ variables, just in the same way as determinant does for a system of linear equations. Because of…

We survey determinantal singularities, their deformations, and their topology. This class of singularities generalizes the well studied case of complete intersections in several different aspects, but exhibits a plethora of new phenomena…

Let V be a finite dimensional complex vector space and V^* its dual and let X in P(V) be a smooth projective variety of dimension n and degree d at least two. For a generic n-tuple of hyperplanes H_1,...,H_n in P(V^*)^n, the intersection of…

Let $P_1,...,P_n$ be generic homogeneous polynomials in $n$ variables of degrees $d_1,...,d_n$ respectively. We prove that if $\nu$ is an integer satisfying ${\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}-n+1-\min\{d_i\}<\nu,$ then all multivariate subresultants…

We show that the kernel of the monodromy representation for hypersurfaces of degree d and dimension n is large for d at least three with the exception of the cases (d,n) = (3,0) and (3,1). For these the kernel is finite. By "large" we mean…

We study the characteristic polynomial $p_{n}(x)=\prod_{j=1}^{n}(|z_{j}|-x)$ where the $z_{j}$ are drawn from the Mittag-Leffler ensemble, i.e. a two-dimensional determinantal point process which generalizes the Ginibre point process. We…

Denominators of normalized $R$-matrices provide important information on finite dimensional representations over quantum affine algebras, and over quiver Hecke algebras by the generalized quantum affine Schur-Weyl duality functors. We…

We study correlation functions of the characteristic polynomials in coupled matrix models based on the Schur polynomial expansion, which manifests their determinantal structure.

We show that the intersection of the irreducible components of a hypersurface defined by a polynomial with square-free support has F-rational singularities in characteristic $p>0$. As a consequence, we obtain that hypersurfaces defined by…

We discuss several conjectures about the real-rootedness of polynomials whose coefficients are determinants of coefficients of a real-rooted polynomial. We also consider some questions about matrices generalizing totally positive matrices,…

Let $K$ be a field. In this article, we derive a formula for the discriminant of a sequence $\{r_{A,n}+c r_{A,n-1}\}$ of polynomials. Here, $c \in K$ and $\{r_{A,n} \}$ is a sequence of polynomials satisfying a certain recurrence relation…

Let $P_{\lambda\Sigma_n}$ be the Ehrhart polynomial associated to an intergal multiple $\lambda$ of the standard symplex $\Sigma_n \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. In this paper we prove that if $(M, L)$ is an $n$-dimensional polarized toric manifold…

This paper shows that $t_m \leq \|\mathbf{A}\|_\infty \leq \sqrt{t_m}$ holds, when $\mathbf{A} \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times m}$ is a Runge-Kutta matrix which nodes originating from the Gaussian quadrature that integrates polynomials of degree…

We introduced previously the generalized characteristic polynomial defined by $P_C(\lambda)={\rm det}\,C(\lambda),$ where $C(\lambda)=C+{\rm diag}\big(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n\big)$ for $C\in {\rm Mat}(n,\mathbb C)$ and…

Let A be a subspace arrangement and let chi(A,t) be the characteristic polynomial of its intersection lattice L(A). We show that if the subspaces in A are taken from L(B_n), where B_n is the type B Weyl arrangement, then chi(A,t) counts a…

We present the following result: consider the space of complex polynomials of degree n>2 with n-1 distinct marked periodic orbits of given periods. Then this space is irreducible and the multipliers of the marked periodic orbits considered…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements. M. Gerstenhaber and Irving Reiner has given two different methods to show the number of matrices with a given characteristic polynomial. In this talk, we will give another proof for…

We investigate determinants of random unitary pencils (with scalar or matrix coefficients), which generalize the characteristic polynomial of a single unitary matrix. In particular we examine moments of such determinants, obtained by…

A set $\mathcal{S}$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called a rationally parameterisable hypersurface if $\mathcal{S}=\{\boldsymbol{\sigma}(\mathbf{t}): \mathbf{t} \in D\}$, where $\boldsymbol{\sigma}: \mathbb{R}^{n-1} \rightarrow…
