We discover that tautological intersection numbers on $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g, n}$, the moduli space of stable genus $g$ curves with $n$ marked points, are evaluations of Ehrhart polynomials of partial polytopal complexes. In order to prove…
We describe a uniform way of obtaining basic hypergeometric functions as limits of the elliptic beta integral. This description gives rise to the construction of a polytope with a different basic hypergeometric function attached to each…
We develop the theory of reflective subfibrations on an $\infty$-topos $\mathcal{E}$. A reflective subfibration $L_\bullet$ on $\mathcal{E}$ is a pullback-compatible assignment of a reflective subcategory $\mathcal{D}_X\subseteq…
A lattice polytope is called spanning if its lattice points affinely span the ambient lattice. We show as a corollary to a general result in the Ehrhart theory of lattice polytopes that the $h^*$-vector of a spanning lattice polytope has no…
In Ehrhart theory, the well-known sign pattern problem asks: given a positive integer $d\geq 3$ and integers $1 \leq i_1 < \cdots < i_k \leq d-2$, does there exist a $d$-dimensional integral polytope $\mathcal{P}$ such that in its Ehrhart…
Ehrhart theory is the study of the enumeration of lattice points in lattice polytopes. Equivariant Ehrhart theory is a generalization of Ehrhart theory that takes into account the action of a finite group acting via affine transformations…
We introduce a new infinite class of superintegrable quantum systems in the plane. Their Hamiltonians involve reflection operators. The associated Schr\"odinger equations admit separation of variables in polar coordinates and are exactly…
For a given lattice polytope, two fundamental problems within the field of Ehrhart theory are to (1) determine if its (Ehrhart) $h^\ast$-polynomial is unimodal and (2) to determine if its Ehrhart polynomial has only positive coefficients.…
It is shown that, for each $d \geq 4$, there exists an integral convex polytope $\mathcal{P}$ of dimension $d$ such that each of the coefficients of $n, n^{2}, \ldots, n^{d-2}$ of its Ehrhart polynomial $i(\mathcal{P},n)$ is negative.…
We investigate properties of Ehrhart polynomials for matroid polytopes, independence matroid polytopes, and polymatroids. In the first half of the paper we prove that for fixed rank their Ehrhart polynomials are computable in polynomial…
We give a new definition of lattice-face polytopes by removing an unnecessary restriction in the paper "Ehrhart polynomials of lattice-face polytopes", and show that with the new definition, the Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice-face polytope…
In the present paper, we derive formulas of complex and $\ell$-adic multiple polylogarithms, which have two aspects: a duality in terms of indexes and a reflection in terms of variables. We provide an algebraic proof of these formulas by…
We study intermediate sums, interpolating between integrals and discrete sums, which were introduced by A. Barvinok [Computing the Ehrhart quasi-polynomial of a rational simplex, Math. Comp. 75 (2006), 1449--1466]. For a given semi-rational…
In Ehrhart theory, the $h^*$-vector of a rational polytope often provide insights into properties of the polytope that may be otherwise obscured. As an example, the Birkhoff polytope, also known as the polytope of real doubly-stochastic…
A reflexive polytope, respectively its associated Gorenstein toric Fano variety, is called pseudo-symmetric, if the polytope has a centrally symmetric pair of facets. Here we present a complete classification of pseudo-symmetric simplicial…
In arXiv:1905.08311, the author and Rohatgi proved a shuffling theorem for doubly-dented hexagons. In particular, we showed that shuffling removed unit triangles along a horizontal axis in a hexagon only changes the tiling number by a…
We show that, if $M$ is a subspace lattice with the property that the rank one subspace of its operator algebra is weak* dense, $L$ is a commutative subspace lattice and $P$ is the lattice of all projections on a separable infinite…
We study relations between reflections in (positive or negative) points in the complex hyperbolic plane. It is easy to see that the reflections in the points q_1,q_2 obtained from p_1,p_2 by moving p_1,p_2 along the geodesic generated by…
Given an abstract $n$-polytope $\mathcal{K}$, an abstract $(n+1)$-polytope $\mathcal{P}$ is an extension of $\mathcal{K}$ if all the facets of $\mathcal{P}$ are isomorphic to $\mathcal{K}$. A chiral polytope is a polytope with maximal…
We first introduce and study the notion of semi-regular flat modules, and then show that a ring $R$ is a strong \Prufer\ ring if and only if every submodule of a semi-regular flat $R$-module is semi-regular flat, if and only if every ideal…
