We propose two low-complexity lattice code constructions that have competitive coding and shaping gains. The first construction, named systematic Voronoi shaping, maps short blocks of integers to the dithered Voronoi integers, which are…
We produce an explicit parameterization of well-rounded sublattices of the hexagonal lattice in the plane, splitting them into similarity classes. We use this parameterization to study the number, the greatest minimal norm, and the highest…
Hochschild lattices are specific intervals in the dexter meet-semilattices recently introduced by Chapoton. A natural geometric realization of these lattices leads to some cell complexes introduced by Saneblidze, called the Hochschild…
We develop three approaches of combinatorial flavour to study the structure of minimal codes and cutting blocking sets in finite geometry, each of which has a particular application. The first approach uses techniques from algebraic…
Hyperplane arrangements form the geometric counterpart of combinatorial objects such as matroids. The shape of the sequence of Betti numbers of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement is of particular interest in combinatorics, where…
The major challenge in designing a discriminative learning algorithm for predicting structured data is to address the computational issues arising from the exponential size of the output space. Existing algorithms make different assumptions…
We outline the theory of sets with distributive operations: multishelves and multispindles, with examples provided by semi-lattices, lattices and skew lattices. For every such a structure we define multi-term distributive homology and show…
In this paper, we introduce and develop the circle embedding method. This method hinges essentially on a combinatorial-geometric structure which we choose to call circles of partition. We provide applications in the context of problems that…
We consider $d$-dimensional lattice polytopes $\Delta$ with $h^*$-polynomial $h^*_\Delta=1+h_k^*t^k$ for $1<k<(d+1)/2$ and relate them to some abelian subgroups of $\SL_{d+1}(\C)$ of order $1+h_k^*=p^r$ where $p$ is a prime number. These…
A finite set of integers $A$ tiles the integers by translations if $\mathbb{Z}$ can be covered by pairwise disjoint translated copies of $A$. Restricting attention to one tiling period, we have $A\oplus B=\mathbb{Z}_M$ for some…
Arithmetic combinatorics is often concerned with the problem of bounding the behaviour of arbitrary finite sets in a group or ring with respect to arithmetic operations such as addition or multiplication. Similarly, combinatorial geometry…
We study maximal sublattices of finite semidistributive lattices via their complements. We focus on the conjecture that such complements are always intervals, which is known to be true for bounded lattices. Since the class of…
We study Hilbert functions of certain non-reduced schemes A supported at finite sets of points in projective space, in particular, fat point schemes. We give combinatorially defined upper and lower bounds for the Hilbert function of A using…
We classify one-element extensions of a hyperplane arrangement by the induced adjoint arrangement. Based on the classification, several kinds of combinatorial invariants including Whitney polynomials, characteristic polynomials, Whitney…
Restricted Whitney numbers of the first kind appear in the combinatorial recursion for the matroid Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. In the special case of braid matroids (the matroid associated to the partition lattice, the complete graph, the…
Higher gauge theory is a higher order version of gauge theory that makes possible the definition of 2-dimensional holonomy along surfaces embedded in a manifold where a gauge 2-connection is present. In this paper, we will continue the…
In an important recent development, Anshu, Breuckmann, and Nirkhe [ABN22] resolved positively the so-called No Low-Energy Trivial State (NLTS) conjecture by Freedman and Hastings. The conjecture postulated the existence of linear-size local…
Join-distributive lattices are finite, meet-semidistributive, and semimodular lattices. They are the same as Dilworth's lattices in 1940, and many alternative definitions and equivalent concepts have been discovered or rediscovered since…
The structure of overlapping subdivergences, which appear in the perturbative expansions of quantum field theory, is analyzed using algebraic lattice theory. It is shown that for specific QFTs the sets of subdivergences of Feynman diagrams…
For a rank two root system and a pair of nonnegative integers, using only elementary combinatorics we construct two posets. The constructions are uniform across the root systems A1+A1, A2, C2, and G2. Examples appear in Figures 3.2 and 3.3.…
