The theory of log concave polynomials has recently been developed to study objects and problems in combinatorics and other subfields in mathematics. Particular classes of log concave polynomials called Lorentzian polynomials and…
We consider polynomials expressing the cohomology classes of subvarieties of products of projective spaces, and limits of positive real multiples of such polynomials. We study the relation between these covolume polynomials and Lorentzian…
In 2022, Huh-Matherne-M\'esz\'aros-St. Dizier showed that normalized Schur polynomials are Lorentzian, thereby yielding their continuous (resp. discrete) log-concavity on the positive orthant (resp. on their support, in type $A$ root…
We study a family of dissections of flow polytopes arising from the subdivision algebra. To each dissection of a flow polytope, we associate a polynomial, called the left-degree polynomial, which we show is invariant of the dissection…
Lorentzian polynomials are a fascinating class of real polynomials with many applications. Their definition is specific to the nonnegative orthant. Following recent work, we examine Lorentzian polynomials on proper convex cones. For a…
We prove that projective spaces of Lorentzian and real stable polynomials are homeomorphic to closed Euclidean balls. This solves a conjecture of June Huh and the author. The proof utilizes and refines a connection between the symmetric…
Inspired by the theory of hyperbolic polynomials and Hodge theory, we develop the theory of Lorentzian polynomials on cones. This notion captures the Hodge-Riemann relations of degree zero and one. Motivated by fundamental properties of…
Every symmetric polynomial $h(x)$ with center of symmetry $n/2$ can be expressed as a linear combination in the basis $x^i(1+x)^{n-2i}$. The $\gamma$-polynomial of $h(x)$, which we denote $\gamma_h(x)$, records the coefficients of this…
We study the class of Lorentzian polynomials. The class contains homogeneous stable polynomials as well as volume polynomials of convex bodies and projective varieties. We prove that the Hessian of a nonzero Lorentzian polynomial has…
The Rota--Heron--Welsh conjecture (now a theorem of Adiprasito, Huh, and the author) asserts the log-concavity of the characteristic polynomial of matroids. We give an exposition of the Lorentzian polynomial proof following the work of…
We show that the dual character of the flagged Weyl module of any diagram is a positively weighted integer point transform of a generalized permutahedron. In particular, Schubert and key polynomials are positively weighted integer point…
A bimatroid is a matroid-like generalization of the collection of regular minors of a matrix. In this article, we use the theory of Lorentzian polynomials to study the logarithmic concavity of natural sequences associated to bimatroids.…
We study the multivariate independence polynomials of graphs and the log-concavity of the coefficients of their univariate restrictions. Let $R_{W_4}$ be the operator defined on simple and undirected graphs which replaces each edge with a…
We study the class of polynomials whose Hessians evaluated at any point of a closed convex cone have Lorentzian signature. This class is a generalization to the remarkable class of Lorentzian polynomials. We prove that hyperbolic…
Real-stable, Lorentzian, and log-concave polynomials are well-studied classes of polynomials, and have been powerful tools in resolving several conjectures. We show that the problems of deciding whether a polynomial of fixed degree is real…
We introduce a notion of Lorentzian proper position in close analogy to proper position of stable polynomials. Using this notion, we give a new characterization of elementary quotients of M-convex function that parallels the Lorentzian…
We establish quantitative homogenization results for the popular log-normal coefficients. Since the coefficients are neither bounded nor uniformly elliptic, standard proofs do not apply directly. Instead, we take inspiration from the…
Generalized permutahedra are the polytopes obtained from the permutahedron by changing the edge lengths while preserving the edge directions, possibly identifying vertices along the way. We introduce a "lifting" construction for these…
In this article we introduce a notion of normalized angle for Lorentzian pre-length spaces. This concept allows us to prove some equivalences to the definition of timelike curvature bounds from below for Lorentzian pre-length spaces.…
It is known that the space of convex polygons in the Euclidean plane with fixed normals, up to homotheties and translations, endowed with the area form, is isometric to a hyperbolic polyhedron. In this note we show a class of convex…
