We define combinatorially a partial order on the set partitions and show that it is equivalent to the Bruhat-Chevalley-Renner order on the upper triangular matrices. By considering subposets consisting of set partitions with a fixed number…

We present an alternate proof of a result of F\'eray and Reiner characterizing posets whose $P$-partition rings are complete intersections. This shortened proof relates the complete intersection property to a simple structural property of a…

We study $l$-very ample, ample and semi-ample divisors on the blown-up projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ in a collection of points in general position. We establish Fujita's conjectures for all ample divisors with the number of points bounded…

Let $A^p_\omega$ denote the Bergman space in the unit disc induced by a radial weight~$\omega$ with the doubling property $\int_{r}^1\omega(s)\,ds\le C\int_{\frac{1+r}{2}}^1\omega(s)\,ds$. The positive Borel measures such that the…

This paper presents two general criteria to determine spaceability results in the complements of unions of subspaces. The first criterion applies to countable unions of subspaces under specific conditions and is closely related to the…

We describe algebraic certificates of positivity for functions belonging to a finitely generated algebra of Borel measurable functions, with particular emphasis to algebras generated by semi-algebraic functions. In which case the standard…

We study the combinatorial equivalence of separable elements in types $A$ and $B$. A bijection is constructed from the set of separable permutations in the symmetric group $S_{n+1}$ to the set of separable signed permutations in the…

The Peterson variety is a subvariety of the flag manifold $G/B$ equipped with an action of a one-dimensional torus, and a torus invariant paving by affine cells, called Peterson cells. We prove that the equivariant pull-backs of Schubert…

Let S be a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2 and let G be a semisimple real algebraic group of non-compact type. We consider a class of representations from the fundamental group of S to G called positively ratioed…

We extend and generalize the results of Scheiderer (2006) on the representation of polynomials nonnegative on two-dimensional basic closed semialgebraic sets. Our extension covers some situations where the defining polynomials do not…

M. Hochster defines an invariant namely $\Theta(M,N)$ associated to two finitely generated module over a hyper-surface ring $R=P/f$, where $P=k\{x_0,...,x_n\}$ or $k[X_0,...,x_n]$, for $k$ a field and $f$ is a germ of holomorphic function…

We examine algebraic conditions for the sectional positivity of the Riemann curvature operator. We describe sufficient conditions for dimension $n=4$, and complete characterization for a dense open subset of the space of operators in…

Egge, Loehr and Warrington gave in \cite{ELW} a combinatorial formula that permits to convert the expansion of a symmetric function, homogeneous of degree $n$, in terms of Gessel's fundamental quasisymmetric functions into an expansion in…

We introduce partially ordered sets (posets) with an additional structure given by a collection of vector subspaces of an algebra $A$. We call them algebraically equipped posets. Some particular cases of these, are generalized equipped…

We prove that for every positive integer $d \ge 2$ there exist polynomial functions $F_d, G_d: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ such that for each positive integer $r$, every order-$d$ tensor $T$ over an arbitrary field and with partition rank at…

In recent years several classes of structured matrices are extended to classes of tensors in the context of tensor complementarity problem. The tensor complementarity problem is a class of nonlinear complementarity problem where the…

For a 4th order 3-dimensional cyclic symmetric tensor, a sufficient and necessary condition is bulit for its positive semi-definiteness. A sufficient and necessary condition of positive definiteness is showed for a 4th order $n$-dimensional…

Let $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a compact semialgebraic set and let $f$ be a polynomial nonnegative on $S$. Schm\"udgen's Positivstellensatz then states that for any $\eta > 0$, the nonnegativity of $f + \eta$ on $S$ can be certified by…

We show the equivalence of the Pieri formula for flag manifolds and certain identities among the structure constants, giving new proofs of both the Pieri formula and of these identities. A key step is the association of a symmetric function…

We consider bi-linear analogues of $s$-positivity for linear maps. The dual objects of these notions can be described in terms of Schimdt ranks for tri-tensor products and Schmidt numbers for tri-partite quantum states. These tri-partite…
