A numerical semigroup is said to be universally free if it is free for any possible arrangement of its minimal generating set. In this work, we establish that toric ideals associated with universally free numerical semigroups can be…

We construct an infinite family of 4-polytopes whose realization spaces have dimension smaller or equal to 96. This in particular settles a problem going back to Legendre and Steinitz: whether and how the dimension of the realization space…

We describe our package PALP of C programs for calculations with lattice polytopes and applications to toric geometry, which is freely available on the internet. It contains routines for vertex and facet enumeration, computation of…

Given a finite set of arbitrarily distributed points in affine space with arbitrary multiplicity structures, we present an algorithm to compute the reduced Groebner basis of the vanishing ideal under the lexicographic ordering. Our method…

We propose a new statistical ensemble of toric bases for elliptic Calabi-Yaus used in F-theory models, by focusing on only the convex hull of the base, i.e., the base polytope. This physically motivated coarse-graining greatly simplifies…

An ideal projector on the space of polynomials $\mathbb{C} [\mathbf{x}]=\mathbb{C} [x_{1},\ldots ,x_{d}]$ is a projector whose kernel is an ideal in $\mathbb{C}[ \mathbf{x}]$. The question of characterization of ideal projectors that are…

The mapping class group of an orientable surface, which records its symmetries up to isotopy, plays a central role in low-dimensional topology. This chapter explores the foundational problem of determining minimal generating sets for these…

Let $X$ be an integral projective variety of codimension two, degree $d$ and dimension $r$ and $Y$ be its general hyperplane section. The problem of lifting generators of minimal degree $\sigma$ from the homogeneous ideal of $Y$ to the…

Let $X \subset {\mathbb R}^m$ be a spherical code (i.e., a finite subset of the unit sphere) and consider the ideal of all polynomials in $m$ variables which vanish on $X$. Motivated by a study of cometric ($Q$-polynomial) association…

Deciding whether an ideal of a number field is principal and finding a generator is a fundamental problem with many applications in computational number theory. For indefinite quaternion algebras, the decision problem reduces to that in the…

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension n equipped with a very ample Hermitian line bundle L. In the first part of the paper, we show that if there exists a toric degeneration of X satisfying some natural hypotheses (which…

This paper is devoted to construct a minimal toric embedded resolution of a rational singularity via jet schemes. The minimality is reached by extending the concept of the profile of a simplicial cone given in 6.

We introduce the concept of multiplication matrices for ideals of projective dimension zero. We discuss various applications and in particular, we give a new algorithm to compute the variety of an ideal of projective dimension zero.

This article is the first part of a series of three articles about compatible systems of symplectic Galois representations and applications to the inverse Galois problem. In this first part, we determine the smallest field over which the…

Let $S(n)$ be the infinite-type surface with infinite genus and $n \in \mathbb{N}$ ends, all of which are accumulated by genus. The mapping class group of this surface, $\mod(S(n))$, is a Polish group that is not countably generated, but it…

We consider a nodal curve $C$ in the complex projective plane whose irreducible components $C_i$ are smooth. A minimal set of generators $G$ for the first and second syzygy modules of the Jacobian ideal of $C$ are described, using recent…

There are two main examples where a version of the Minimal Model Program can, at least conjecturally, be performed successfully: the first is the classical MMP associated to the canonical divisor, and the other is Mori Dream Spaces. In this…

Certain problems in quadratic minimization can be reduced to finding the point $x$ of a polyhedron ${ P}$ that minimizes the distance $\|x-p\|$ for some $p\notin { P}$. This amounts to a search for the appropriate face $F$ of ${ P}$ for…

We classify projective toric manifolds whose dual variety is not a hypersurface in the dual projective space. Under the standard dictionary between toric geometry and convex geometry, they correspond to certain convex Delzant integer…

Given a semisimple group over a local field of residual characteristic p, its topological group of rational points admits maximal pro-p-subgroups. Quasi-split simply-connected semisimple groups can be described in the combinatorial terms of…
