Hironaka's concept of characteristic polyhedron of a singularity has been one of the most powerful and fruitful ideas of the last decades in singularity theory. In fact, since then combinatorics have become a major tool in many important…

A combinatorial interpretation is provided for the moments of characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices. This leads to a rather unexpected consequence of the Keating and Snaith conjecture: the moments of $\mid\xi(1/2+it)\mid$…

This survey article is devoted to general results in combinatorial enumeration. The first part surveys results on growth of hereditary properties of combinatorial structures. These include permutations, ordered and unordered graphs and…

Heckman and Opdam introduced a non-symmetric analogue of Jack polynomials using Cherednik operators. In this paper, we derive a simple recursion formula for these polynomials and formulas relating the symmetric Jack polynomials with the…

We show that the problem to decide whether two (convex) polytopes, given by their vertex-facet incidences, are combinatorially isomorphic is graph isomorphism complete, even for simple or simplicial polytopes. On the other hand, we give a…

In the present note we focus on conic line arrangements in the plane with quasihomogeneous ordinary singularities from the perspective of weak Ziegler pairs. The foundations of this article come from an active area of research devoted to…

We study three classes of combinatorial sums involving central binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers, odd harmonic numbers, and even indexed harmonic numbers, respectively. In each case we use summation by parts to derive recursive…

Motivated by the earlier results, we study theoretically and numerically the asymptotics and the monodromy of the quasi-exactly solvable part of the spectrum of the quasi-exactly solvable quartic introduced by C.~M.~Bender and S.~Boettcher.…

We establish a new simple explicit description of combinatorial wall-crossing for the rational Cherednik algebra applied to the trivial representation. In this way we recover a theorem of P. Dimakis and G. Yue. We also present two…

We describe various aspects of the Al-Salam-Carlitz $q$-Charlier polynomials. These include combinatorial descriptions of the moments, the orthogonality relation, and the linearization coefficients.

We consider the homogenized linear feasibility problem, to find an $x$ on the unit sphere, satisfying $n$ line ar inequalities $a_i^Tx\ge 0$. To solve this problem we consider the centers of the insphere of spherical simpl ices, whose…

Given a central integral arrangement, the reduction of the arrangement modulo positive integers $q$ gives rise to a subgroup arrangement in $(\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z})^\ell$. Kamiya-Takemura-Terao (2008) introduced the notion of…

Everyone knows that the Euler characteristic of a combinatorial manifold is given by the alternating sum of its numbers of simplices. It is shown that there are other linear combinations of the numbers of simplices which are combinatorial…
