This work regards the order polytopes arising from the class of generalized snake posets and their posets of meet-irreducible elements. Among generalized snake posets of the same rank, we characterize those whose order polytopes have…

Tropical polytopes are images of polytopes in an affine space over the Puiseux series field under the degree map. This viewpoint gives rise to a family of cellular resolutions of monomial ideals which generalize the hull complex of Bayer…

We compute the canonical form of the cosmological polytope for any graph in terms of the dual of the shifted cosmological polytope in two different ways. On the way, we provide an explicit coordinate description of the dual of the…

A degree-regular triangulation is one in which each vertex has identical degree. Our main result is that any such triangulation of a (possibly non-compact) surface $S$ is geometric, that is, it is combinatorially equivalent to a geodesic…

Tightness of a triangulated manifold is a topological condition, roughly meaning that any simplexwise linear embedding of the triangulation into euclidean space is "as convex as possible". It can thus be understood as a generalization of…

The harmonic polytope and the bipermutahedron are two related polytopes which arose in Ardila, Denham, and Huh's work on the Lagrangian geometry of matroids. We study the bipermutahedron. We show that its faces are in bijection with the…

Treewidth is a well-known graph invariant with multiple interesting applications in combinatorics. On the practical side, many NP-complete problems are polynomial-time (sometimes even linear-time) solvable on graphs of bounded treewidth. On…

In this paper we investigate homologically finite-dimensional objects in the derived category of a given small dg-enhanced triangulated category. Using these we define reflexivity, hfd-closedness, and the Gorenstein property for…

We give a self-contained introduction to the theory of secondary polytopes and geometric bistellar flips in triangulations of polytopes and point sets, as well as a review of some of the known results and connections to algebraic geometry,…

A k-triangulation of a convex polygon is a maximal set of diagonals so that no k+1 of them mutually cross in their interiors. We present a bijection between 2-triangulations of a convex n-gon and pairs of non-crossing Dyck paths of length…

Dyadic rationals are rationals whose denominator is a power of 2. A dyadic n-dimensional convex set is defined as the intersection with n-dimensional dyadic space of an n-dimensional real convex set. Such a dyadic convex set is said to be a…

The Steenrod problem for closed orientable manifolds was solved completely by Thom. Following this approach, we solve the Steenrod problem for closed orientable orbifolds, proving that the rational homology groups of a closed orientable…

Here I present several theorems about trapezoids tilings. The first one is related to trapezoids with rational base relation, the other ones are related to those with base relation from quadratic number field.

Matroids give rise to several natural constructions of polytopes. Inspired by this, we examine polytopes that arise from the signed circuits of an oriented matroid. We give the dimensions of these polytopes arising from graphical oriented…

Marginal polytopes are important geometric objects that arise in statistics as the polytopes underlying hierarchical log-linear models. These polytopes can be used to answer geometric questions about these models, such as determining the…

We construct an explicit bijection between bipartite pointed maps of an arbitrary surface $\mathbb{S}$, and specific unicellular blossoming maps of the same surface. Our bijection gives access to the degrees of all the faces, and distances…

This paper is a continuation of our papers \cite{EK1, EK2}. In \cite{EK2} we showed that for the root system $A_{n-1}$ one can obtain Macdonald's polynomials as weighted traces of intertwining operators between certain finite-dimensional…

We give an elementary introduction to the theory of triangulated categories covering their axioms, homological algebra in triangulated categories, triangulated subcategories, and Verdier localization. We try to use a minimal set of axioms…

Alcoved polytopes are characterized by the property that all facet normal directions are parallel to the roots $e_i-e_j$. Unlike other prominent families of polytopes, like generalized permutahedra, alcoved polytopes are not closed under…

We characterize the compatibility of a collection of unrooted phylogenetic trees as a question of determining whether a graph derived from these trees --- the display graph --- has a specific kind of triangulation, which we call legal. Our…
