Let $P$ be a simple polytope of dimension $n$ with $m$ facets. In this paper we pay our attention on those elementary symmetric polynomials in the Stanley--Reisner face ring of $P$ and study how the decomposability of the $n$-th elementary…

Many things in mathematics seem lamost unreasonably nice. This includes objects, counterexamples, proofs. In this preprint I discuss many examples of this phenomenon with emphasis on the ring of polynomials in a countably infinite number of…

Let $\rho$ be a metric on the set $X=\{1,2,\dots,n+1\}$. Consider the $n$-dimensional polytope of functions $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, which satisfy the conditions $f(n+1)=0$, $|f(x)-f(y)|\leq \rho(x,y)$. The question on classifying…

We describe a Schubert induction theorem, a tool for analyzing intersections on a Grassmannian over an arbitrary base ring. The key ingredient in the proof is the Geometric Littlewood-Richardson rule, described in a companion paper.…

We define a GL-variety to be a (typically infinite dimensional) algebraic variety equipped with an action of the infinite general linear group under which the coordinate ring forms a polynomial representation. Such varieties have been used…

Recently, Grynkiewicz et al. [{\it Israel J. Math.} {\bf 193} (2013), 359--398], using tools from additive combinatorics and group theory, proved necessary and sufficient conditions under which the linear congruence $a_1x_1+\cdots…

We show that a ratio of Schur polynomials $s_{\lambda}/s_{\rho}$ associated to partitions $\lambda$ and $\rho$ such that $\lambda\subsetneq\rho$ has a negative partial derivative at any point where all variables are positive. This is…

In this paper we continue our work on Schwartz functions and generalized Schwartz functions on Nash (i.e. smooth semi-algebraic) manifolds. Our first goal is to prove analogs of de-Rham theorem for de-Rham complexes with coefficients in…

For a positive integer sequence $\boldsymbol{a}=(a_1, \dots, a_{N+1})$, Sylvester's denumerant $E(\boldsymbol{a}; t)$ counts the number of nonnegative integer solutions to $\sum_{i=1}^{N+1} a_i x_i = t$ for a nonnegative integer $t$. It has…

We provide a short proof of the theorem that every real multivariate polynomial has a symmetric determinantal representation, which was first proved in J. W. Helton, S. A. McCullough, and V. Vinnikov, Noncommutative convexity arises from…

We consider parametrized systems of generalized polynomial equations (with real exponents) in $n$ positive variables, involving $m$ monomials with positive parameters; that is, $x\in\mathbb{R}^n_>$ such that ${A \, (c \circ x^B)=0}$ with…

The Schmidt Subspace Theorem affirms that the solutions of some particular system of diophantine approximations in projective spaces accumulates on a finite number of proper linear subspaces. Given a subvariety $X$ of a projective space…

In this paper, the $mn$-dimensional space of tensor-product polynomials of two variables, of degree at most $(m-1)+(n-1)$, is considered. A theory of two-variate polynomials is developed by establishing the algebra and basic algebraic…

Let $f=f(x_1,\dots,x_m)$ be a multilinear polynomial over a field $F$. An $F$-algebra $A$ is said to be $f$-zpd ($f$-zero product determined) if every $m$-linear functional $\varphi\colon A^{m}\rightarrow F$ which preserves zeros of $f$ is…

A symmetric ideal is an ideal in a polynomial ring which is stable under all permutations of the variables. In this paper we initiate a global study of zero-dimensional symmetric ideals. By this we mean a geometric study of the invariant…

We consider the problem of extending the classical S-lemma from commutative case to noncommutative cases. We show that a symmetric quadratic homogeneous matrix-valued polynomial is positive semidefinite if and only if its coefficient matrix…

The nonvanishing problem asks if a coefficient of a polynomial is nonzero. Many families of polynomials in algebraic combinatorics admit combinatorial counting rules and simultaneously enjoy having saturated Newton polytopes (SNP). Thereby,…
