In this paper, we introduce a new method to compute magnitude homology of general graphs. To each direct sum component of magnitude chain complexes, we assign a pair of simplicial complexes whose simplicial chain complex is isomorphic to…
Building on work of Brandt and Terao in their study of $k$-formality, we introduce a co-chain complex associated to a multi-arrangement and prove that its cohomologies determine freeness of the associated module of multi-derivations. This…
Let $G$ be a simple topological graph and let $\Gamma$ be a polyline drawing of $G$. We say that $\Gamma$ \emph{partially preserves the topology} of $G$ if it has the same external boundary, the same rotation system, and the same set of…
The class of subarrangements of the well-studied braid arrangement, so-called graphic hyperplane arrangements, is important for analysing new concepts and properties in hyperplane arrangement theory. While there is a nice characterization…
We show that the notion of generalized Lenard chains naturally allows formulation of the theory of multi-separable and superintegrable systems in the context of bi-Hamiltonian geometry. We prove that the existence of generalized Lenard…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $G$ a graph. An extending generalized spline on $G$ is a vertex labeling $f \in \prod_{v} M_v$, where for each edge $e=uv$ there exists an $R$-module $M_{uv}$ together with homomorphisms $…
An integer generalized spline is a set of vertex labels on an edge-labeled graph that satisfy the condition that if two vertices are joined by an edge, the vertex labels are congruent modulo the edge label. Foundational work on these…
The spline complex $\mathcal{R}/\mathcal{J}[\Sigma]$ whose top homology is the algebra $C^\alpha(\Sigma)$ of mixed splines over the fan $\Sigma\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ was introduced by Schenck-Stillman in [Schenck-Stillman 97] as a variant…
Multivariate piecewise polynomial functions (or splines) on polyhedral complexes have been extensively studied over the past decades and find applications in diverse areas of applied mathematics including numerical analysis, approximation…
We present sweeping line graphs, a generalization of $\Theta$-graphs. We show that these graphs are spanners of the complete graph, as well as of the visibility graph when line segment constraints or polygonal obstacles are considered. Our…
In this paper we study the dimension of bivariate polynomial splines of mixed smoothness on polygonal meshes. Here, "mixed smoothness" refers to the choice of different orders of smoothness across different edges of the mesh. To study the…
Spherical Designs are finite sets of points on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}$ with the property that the average of certain (low-degree) polynomials in these points coincides with the global average of the polynomial on $\mathbb{S}^{d}$. They…
We use rational formality of configuration spaces and the bar construction to study the cohomology of the space of braids in dimension four or greater. We provide a diagram complex for braids and a quasi-isomorphism to the de Rham cochains…
Given a simplicial hyperplane arrangement H and a subspace arrangement A embedded in H, we define a simplicial complex Delta_{A,H} as the subdivision of the link of A induced by H. In particular, this generalizes Steingrimsson's coloring…
Athanasiadis studied arrangements obtained by adding shifted hyperplanes to the braid arrangement. Similarly, Bailey studied arrangements obtained by adding tilted hyperplanes to the braid arrangement. These two kinds of arrangements are…
In this article, we study freeness of hyperplane arrangements. One of the most investigated arrangement is a graphic arrangement. Stanley proved that a graphic arrangement is free if and only if the corresponding graph is chordal and Dirac…
Generalized complex geometry, introduced by Hitchin, encompasses complex and symplectic geometry as its extremal special cases. We explore the basic properties of this geometry, including its enhanced symmetry group, elliptic deformation…
We find families of simplicial complexes where the simplicial chromatic polynomials defined by Cooper--de Silva--Sazdanovic \cite{CdSS} are Hilbert series of Stanley--Reisner rings of auxiliary simplicial complexes. As a result, such…
We establish a strong, geometric lower bound on the (sequential) topological complexity of the unordered configuration spaces of a general graph. As an application, we show that, for most graphs, the topological complexity eventually…
This survey gives an overview of three central algebraic themes related to the study of splines: duality, group actions, and homology. Splines are piecewise polynomial functions of a prescribed order of smoothness on some subdivided domain…
