Let $E$ denote a general complex binary form of order $d$ (seen as a point in $\P^d$), and let $\Omega_E \subseteq \P^d$ denote the closure of its $SL_2$-orbit. In this note, we calculate the equivariant minimal generators of its defining…

Let $\sigma$ be a simple involution of an algebraic semisimple group $G$ and let $H$ be the subgroup of $G$ of points fixed by $\sigma$. If the restricted root system is of type $A$, $C$ or $BC$ and $G$ is simply connected or if the…

A major unsolved problem (according to Demailly 1997) towards the Kobayashi hyperbolicity conjecture in optimal degree is to understand jet differentials of germs of holomorphic discs that are invariant under any reparametrization of the…

The Grassmannian, which is the manifold of all $k$-dimensional subspaces in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, was decomposed through three equivalent methods connecting combinatorial geometries, Schubert cells and convex polyhedra by…

Let G be GL_N or SL_N as reductive linear algebraic group over a field k of positive characteristic p. We prove several results that were previously established only when N < 6 or p > 2^N. Let G act rationally on a finitely generated…

In this work, the determinants of matrices constructed by evaluating homogeneous bivariate polynomials at pairs of vectors are investigated. For a polynomial $p(x,y)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^k \alpha_i x^{k-i}y^i$, an explicit factorization of the…

We prove a formula for double Schubert and Grothendieck polynomials specialized to two rearrangements of the same set of variables. Our formula generalizes the usual formulas for Schubert and Grothendieck polynomials in terms of RC-graphs,…

The problem of expressing a multivariate polynomial as the determinant of a monic (definite) symmetric or Hermitian linear matrix polynomial (LMP) has drawn a huge amount of attention due to its connection with optimization problems. In…

We determine the $166\,104$ extremal monomials of the discriminant of a quaternary cubic form. These are in bijection with $D$-equivalence classes of regular triangulations of the $3$-dilated tetrahedron. We describe how to compute these…

Pick a random matrix $\gamma$ in $\Gamma={\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. Denote by $\mathcal{O}_K$ the Dedekind ring generated by its eigenvalues, and let $\Delta_K$, $\Delta_\gamma$ and $\Delta = {\rm Tr}(\gamma)^2-4$ be the respective…

If V is a simple complex euclidean Jordan algebra and G the subgroup of GL(V) fixing the determinant of V, we give a unified description of the invariant algebras C[pV]^G, for p not greater than three.

Making use of integral forms and superfield techniques we propose supersymmetric extensions of the multimetric gravity Lagrangians in dimensions one, two, three and four. The supersymmetric interaction potential covariantly deforms the…

In 2008 Br\"and\'en proved a $(p,q)$-analogue of the $\gamma$-expansion formula for Eulerian polynomials and conjectured the divisibility of the $\gamma$-coefficient $\gamma_{n,k}(p,q)$ by $(p+q)^k$. As a follow-up, in 2012 Shin and Zeng…

In this article, we study properties of the exponential Hilbert series of a $G$-equivariant projective variety, where $G$ is a semisimple, simply-connected complex linear algebraic group. We prove a relationship between the exponential…

The generic monic polynomial of degree N features N a priori arbitrary coefficients $c_m$ and N zeros $z_n$. In this paper we limit consideration to $N = 8$ and $N = 9$. We show that if the $N$ -- a priori arbitrary -- coefficients $c_m$ of…

The linear (homogeneous and inhomogeneous) (k, N, N-k) supermultiplets of the N-extended one-dimensional Supersymmetry Algebra induce D-module representations for the N=2,4,8 superconformal algebras. For N=2, the D-module representations of…

We consider a new formula for Berezinian (superdeterminant). The Berezinian of a supermatrix $A$ is expressed as the ratio of polynomial invariants of $A$. This formula follows from recurrence relations existing for supertraces of exterior…

Determinantal polynomials play a crucial role in semidefinite programming problems. Helton-Vinnikov proved that real zero (RZ) bivariate polynomials are determinantal. However, it leads to a challenging problem to compute such a…
