Let $f : X \to S$ be a family of smooth projective algebraic varieties over a smooth connected quasi-projective base $S$, and let $\mathbb{V} = R^{2k} f_{*} \mathbb{Z}(k)$ be the integral variation of Hodge structure coming from degree $2k$…

A convex subset X of a linear topological space is called compactly convex if there is a continuous compact-valued map $\Phi:X\to exp(X)$ such that $[x,y]\subset\Phi(x)\cup \Phi(y)$ for all $x,y\in X$. We prove that each convex subset of…

The paper contains a characterization of compact groups $G\subseteq\GL(V)$, where $V$ is a finite dimensional real vector space, which have the following property \SP{}: the family of convex hulls of $G$-orbits is a semigroup with respect…

In previous work, the first three authors conjectured that the ring of regular functions on a natural class of affine log Calabi-Yau varieties (those with maximal boundary) has a canonical vector space basis parameterized by the integral…

A number of results related to statistical classification on convex sets are presented. In particular, the focus is on the case where some of the covariates in the data and observation being classified can be missing. The form of the…

The classical theory of regularity of embeddings of compact convex sets was developed in the 1970s, exclusively in the real case, and even there it does not appear to have been stated in its simplest form. We begin by revisiting this…

The problem of variable clustering is that of grouping similar components of a $p$-dimensional vector $X=(X_{1},\ldots,X_{p})$, and estimating these groups from $n$ independent copies of $X$. When cluster similarity is defined via…

We review several (and provide new) results on the theory of moments, sums of squares and basic semi-algebraic sets when convexity is present. In particular, we show that under convexity, the hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations for…

In this paper we generalize the factorization theorem of Gouveia, Parrilo and Thomas to a broader class of convex sets. Given a general convex set, we define a slack operator associated to the set and its polar according to whether the…

This paper presents a novel geometrical approach to investigate the convexity of a density-based cluster. Our approach is grid-based and we are about to calibrate the value space of the cluster. However, the cluster objects are coming from…

Using the wonderful compactification of a semisimple adjoint affine algebraic group G defined over an algebraically closed field k of arbitrary characteristic, we construct a natural compactification Y of the G-character variety of any…

Joint lensing and dynamical mass profile determinations of galaxy clusters are an excellent tool to constrain modification of gravity at cosmological scales. However, search for tiny departures from General Relativity calls for an accurate…

We develop a general theory of cluster categories, applying to a 2-Calabi-Yau extriangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ and cluster-tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ satisfying only mild finiteness conditions. We show that the structure theory…

We classify rank $2$ cluster varieties (those for which the span of the rows of the exchange matrix is $2$-dimensional) according to the deformation type of a generic fiber $U$ of their ${\mathcal X}$-spaces, as defined by Fock and…

We study the notion of positive and negative complexity of pairs of objects in cluster categories. The first main result shows that the maximal complexity occurring is either one, two or infinite, depending on the representation type of the…

In this study, we consider the positive cluster complex, a full subcomplex of a cluster complex the vertices of which are all non-initial cluster variables. In particular, we provide a formula for the difference in face vectors of positive…

Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…

We study a combinatorial notion where given a set of lattice points one takes the set of all sums of subsets of a fixed size, and we ask if the given set comes from a convex lattice polytope whether the resulting set also comes from a…

A smooth compactification X<n> of the configuration space of n distinct labeled points in a smooth algebraic variety X is constructed by a natural sequence of blowups, with the full symmetry of the permutation group S_n manifest at each…

Let $X\subset Y$ be smooth, projective manifolds. Assume that $X$ is the zero locus of a generic section of a direct sum $V+$ of positive line bundles on $\PP^n$. Furthermore assume that the normal bundle $N_{X/Y}$ is a direct sum $V-$ of…
