Candelas and Font introduced the notion of a `top' as half of a three dimensional reflexive polytope and noticed that Dynkin diagrams of enhanced gauge groups in string theory can be read off from them. We classify all tops satisfying a…
We show that the Kronecker coefficients (the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients of the symmetric group) indexed by two two-row shapes are given by quadratic quasipolynomial formulas whose domains are the maximal cells of a fan. Simple calculations…
A notion of {\em normal submonoid} of a monoid $M$ is introduced that generalizes the normal subgroups of a group. When ordered by inclusion, the set $\mathsf{NorSub}(M)$ of normal submonoids of $M$ is a complete lattice. Joins are…
Compactness is one of the core notions of analysis: it connects local properties to global ones and makes limits well-behaved. We study the computational properties of the compactness of Cantor space $2^{\mathbb{N}}$ for uncountable covers.…
N.C.Leung and V.Reiner showed that certain convexity conditions on a complete rational simplicial fan determine the sign of the signature of the Poincar\'e pairing on the cohomology of the associated toric variety. The purpose of the…
We apply convex geometry (cones, fans) to homological input (abelian categories, hearts of bounded t-structures) to construct a new invariant of an abelian category, its heart fan. This can be viewed as a `universal phase diagram' for…
This paper is a continuation of my paper "Lattices of flats for symplectic matroids". We explore geometric constructions originating from the lattice of flats of ranked symplectic matroids. We observe that a ranked symplectic matroid always…
Let $\mathbf{F}=\left\langle F,R\right\rangle $ be a finite Kripke frame. A congruence of $\mathbf{F}$ is a bisimulation of $\mathbf{F}$ that is also an equivalence relation on F. The set of all congruences of $\mathbf{F}$ is a lattice…
Let $X$ be a smooth Fano manifold equipped with a `` nice '' $n$-blocks collection in the sense of \cite{cm2} and $\mathcal {F}$ a coherent sheaf on $X$. Assume that $X$ is Fano and that all blocks are coherent sheaves. Here we prove that…
This paper is a continuation of our previous work in which we defined the notion of a polytope complex and its $K$-theory. In this paper we produce formulas for the delooping of a simplicial polytope complex and the cofiber of a morphism of…
Dilworth's theorem. Every finite distributive lattice $D$ can be represented as the congruence lattice of a finite lattice $L$. We want: Every finite distributive lattice $D$ can be represented as the congruence lattice of a nice finite…
Toric geometry provides a bridge between the theory of polytopes and algebraic geometry: one can associate to each lattice polytope a polarized toric variety. In this thesis we explore this correspondence to classify smooth lattice…
In this paper, we study polar foliations on simply connected symmetric spaces with non-negative curvature. We will prove that all such foliations are isoparametric as defined by Heintze, Liu and Olmos. We will also prove a splitting theorem…
We show that every two nice measures in the plane can be partitioned into equal halves by translation of an angle from arbitrary k-fan when k is odd and in some cases when k is even. We also give some counterexamples for certain fans and…
This paper studies rings of integral piecewise-exponential functions on rational fans. Motivated by lattice-point counting in polytopes, we introduce a special class of unimodular fans called Ehrhart fans, whose rings of integral…
Classic mass partition results are about dividing the plane into regions that are equal with respect to one or more measures (masses). We introduce a new concept in which the notion of partition is replaced by that of a cover. In this case…
This paper deals with lattice congruences of the weak order on the symmetric group, and initiates the investigation of the cover graphs of the corresponding lattice quotients. These graphs also arise as the skeleta of the so-called…
We review the theory of combinatorial intersection cohomology of fans developed by Barthel-Brasselet-Fieseler-Kaup, Bressler-Lunts, and Karu. This theory gives a substitute for the intersection cohomology of toric varieties which has all…
In this paper we study the class of polytopes which can be obtained by taking the convex hull of some subset of the points $\{e_i-e_j \ \vert \ i \neq j\} \cup \{\pm e_i\}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where $e_1,\dots,e_n$ is the standard basis of…
Reflexive polygons have been extensively studied in a variety of contexts in mathematics and physics. We generalize this programme by looking at the 45 different lattice polygons with two interior points up to SL(2,$\mathbb{Z}$)…
