Let $a$ be a real euclidean vector space of finite dimension and $\Sigma$ a root system in $a$ with a basis $\Delta$. Let $\Theta \subset \Delta$ and $M = M_{\Theta}$ be a standard Levi of a reductive group $G$ such that $a_{\Theta}$ $= a_M…

Root systems are sets with remarkable symmetries and therefore they appear in many situations in mathematics. Among others, denominator formulae of root systems are very beautiful and mysterious equations which have several meanings from a…

We tackle several problems related to a finite irreducible crystallographic root system $\Phi$ in the real vector space $\mathbb E$. In particular, we study the combinatorial structure of the subsets of $\Phi$ cut by affine subspaces of…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. In this paper we classify all regular decompositions of $\mathfrak{g}$ and its irreducible root system $\Delta$. A regular…

Let $\Lambda$ be a lattice in $\R^n$, and let $Z\subseteq \R^{m+n}$ be a definable family in an o-minimal structure over $\R$. We give sharp estimates for the number of lattice points in the fibers $Z_T={x\in \R^n: (T,x)\in Z}$. Along the…

Let $R$ be a reduced irreducible root system, $h$ its Coxeter number and $m$ a positive integer smaller than $h$. Choose of base of $R$, whence a corresponding height function, and let $R(m)$ be the set of roots whose height is a multiple…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field of characteristic zero and let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a non-zero finite-dimensional split semisimple Lie algebra with root system $\Delta$. Let $\Gamma$ be a finite set of integral weights of $\mathfrak{g}$ containing…

The primary purpose is to introduce and explore projective varieties, $\text{GRASS}_{\bf d}(\Lambda)$, parametrizing the full collection of those modules over a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ which have dimension vector $\bf d$. These…

Any set of $\sigma$-Hermitian matrices of size $n \times n$ over a field with involution $\sigma$ gives rise to a projective line in the sense of ring geometry and a projective space in the sense of matrix geometry. It is shown that the two…

\emph{A root frame} for $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a finite frame whose vectors form a root system. In this note we establish some elementary properties of this class of frames and prove that root frames constitute a subclass of scalable frames. In…

The automorphism group $\Sigma$ of a compact topological projective plane with a $16$-dimensional point space is a locally compact group. If the dimension of $\Sigma$ is at least $29$, then $\Sigma$ is known to be a Lie group. For the…

We define and study root graded groups, that is, groups graded by finite root systems. This notion generalises several existing concepts in the literature, including in particular Jacques Tits' notion of RGD-systems. The most prominent…

We study ruled submanifolds of Euclidean space. First, to each (parametrized) ruled submanifold $\sigma$, we associate an integer-valued function, called degree, measuring the extent to which $\sigma$ fails to be cylindrical. In particular,…

Given a projective variety X defined over a finite field, the zeta function of divisors attempts to count all irreducible, codimension one subvarieties of X, each measured by their projective degree. When the dimension of X is greater than…

Let $\delta(\Pc) = (\delta_0, \delta_1,..., \delta_d)$ be the $\delta$-vector of an integral polytope $\Pc \subset \RR^N$ of dimension $d$. Following the previous work of characterizing the $\delta$-vectors with $\sum_{i=0}^d \delta_i \leq…

Let $B_\theta $ be the family of rectangles in the plane $R^2$, having slope $\theta $ with the abscissa. We say a set of slopes $\Theta $ is $D$-set if there exists a function $f\in L(R^2)$, such that the basis $B_\theta $ differentiates…

Let $\cal P$ be a finite classical polar space of rank $d$. An $m$-regular system with respect to $(k - 1)$-dimensional projective spaces of $\cal P$, $1 \le k \le d - 1$, is a set $\cal R$ of generators of $\cal P$ with the property that…

We generalize the definition and properties of root systems to complex reflection groups - roots become rank one projective modules over the ring of integers of a number field k. In the irreducible case, we provide a classification of root…

Dimitrov and Fioresi introduced an object that they call a generalized root system. This is a finite set of vectors in a euclidean space satisfying certain compatibilities between angles and sums and differences of elements. They conjecture…

It is known that a connected simple graph $G$ associates a simple polytope $P_G$ called a graph associahedron in Euclidean space. In this paper we show that the set of facet vectors of $P_G$ forms a root system if and only if $G$ is a cycle…
