We give a bound of $k$ for a very ample lattice polytope to be $k$-normal. Equivalently, we give a new combinatorial bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of normal projective toric varieties.
A ``hyperideal circle pattern'' in $S^2$ is a finite family of oriented circles, similar to the ``usual'' circle patterns but such that the closed disks bounded by the circles do not cover the whole sphere. Hyperideal circle patterns are…
We give an explicit way of writing down a minimal set of generators for the canonical ideal of a non-degenerate curve, or of a more general smooth projective curve in a toric surface, in terms of its defining Laurent polynomial.
We show that shock polars for ideal non-polytropic gas (thermally but not calorically perfect) have a unique velocity angle maximum, the critical shock, assuming convex equation of state (positive fundamental derivative) and other standard…
A cosmological polytope is defined for a given Feynman diagram, and its canonical form may be used to compute the contribution of the Feynman diagram to the wavefunction of certain cosmological models. Given a subdivision of a polytope, its…
By the famous ADE classification rational double points are simple. Rational triple points are also simple. We conjecture that the simple normal surface singularities are exactly those rational singularities, whose resolution graph can be…
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…
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 entropy of a tropical ideal is introduced. The radical of a tropical ideal consists of all tropical polynomials vanishing on the tropical prevariety determined by the ideal. We prove that the entropy of the radical of a tropical…
The Fine interior $F(P)$ of a $d$-dimensional lattice polytope $P \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ is the set of all points $y \in P$ having integral distance at least $1$ to any integral supporting hyperplane of $P$. We call a lattice polytope…
We explore the concept of real tropical basis of an ideal in the field of real Puiseux series. We show explicit tropical bases of zero-dimensional real radical ideals, linear ideals and hypersurfaces coming from combinatorial patchworking.…
We introduce polytopal cell complexes associated with partial acyclic orientations of a simple graph, which generalize acyclic orientations. Using the theory of cellular resolutions, two of these polytopal cell complexes are observed to…
We show that the toric ideal of a lattice path polymatroid is generated by quadrics corresponding to symmetric exchanges, and give a monomial order under which these quadrics form a Gr\"obner basis. We then obtain an analogous result for…
To any toric ideal $I_A$, encoded by an integer matrix $A$, we associate a matroid structure called {\em the bouquet graph} of $A$ and introduce another toric ideal called {\em the bouquet ideal} of $A$. We show how these objects capture…
A triangulation of a polygon has an associated Stanley-Reisner ideal. We obtain a full algebraic and combinatorial understanding of these ideals, and describe their separated models. More generally we do this for stacked simplicial…
In this paper we characterize the slack matrices of cones and polytopes among all nonnegative matrices. This leads to an algorithm for deciding whether a given matrix is a slack matrix. The underlying decision problem is equivalent to the…
A theorem of Delzant states that any symplectic manifold $(M,\om)$ of dimension $2n$, equipped with an effective Hamiltonian action of the standard $n$-torus $\T^n = \R^{n}/2\pi\Z^n$, is a smooth projective toric variety completely…
Classification theory and the study of projective varieties which are covered by rational curves of minimal degrees naturally leads to the study of families of singular rational curves. Since families of arbitrarily singular curves are hard…
A dynamical analog of the prime ideals for simple non-commutative rings is introduced. We prove a factorization theorem for the dynamical ideals. The result is used to classify the surface knots and links in the smooth 4-dimensional…
We study Hironaka's idealistic exponents over $ \operatorname{Spec} ( \mathbb{Z} ) $. We give an idealistic interpretation of the tangent cone, the directrix, and the ridge. The main purpose is to introduce the notion of characteristic…
