We consider the lower-triangular matrix of generating polynomials that enumerate $k$-component forests of rooted trees on the vertex set $[n]$ according to the number of improper edges (generalizations of the Ramanujan polynomials). We show…

We compute explicit formulas for the Euler characteristic of line bundles in the two exceptional examples of Hyperk\"ahler Manifolds introduced by O'Grady. In the Appendix Yalong Cao and Chen Jiang use our formulas to compute the Chern…

Kawamata proposed a conjecture predicting that every nef and big line bundle on a smooth projective variety with trivial first Chern class has nontrivial global sections. We verify this conjecture for several cases, including (i) all…

In 1951 paper \cite{Ki} Kippenhahn conjectured that if the characteristic polynomial \ $P_A(x_1,x_2,x_3)=\mbox{det}(x_1A_1+x_2A_2-x_3I)$, \ where $A_1$ and $A_2$ are $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices, has a repeated factor in the polynomial…

There have been a number of recent works on the theory of period polynomials and their zeros. In particular, zeros of period polynomials have been shown to satisfy a "Riemann Hypothesis" in both classical settings and for cohomological…

We present two different proofs that positive polynomials on closed boxes of $\mathbb{R}^2$ can be written as bivariate Bernstein polynomials with strictly positive coefficients. Both strategies can be extended to prove the analogous result…

Given a vector bundle $F$ on a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack $\X$ and an invertible multiplicative characteristic class $\bc$, we define the orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of $\X$ twisted by $F$ and $\bc$. We prove a "quantum Riemann-Roch…

A homogeneous bivariate $d$-form defines an $(i+1)$-rowed Toeplitz matrix for each $i$ between $0$ and $d$. We use Hodge theory and Schur polynomials to prove that if the $(i+1)$-rowed Toeplitz matrix of a form is totally nonnegative, then…

We study three combinatorial models for the lower-triangular matrix with entries $t_{n,k} = \binom{n}{k} n^{n-k}$: two involving rooted trees on the vertex set $[n+1]$, and one involving partial functional digraphs on the vertex set $[n]$.…

Strong asymptotics of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with respect to a weight of the form $$ W(z) = w(z) \prod_{k=1}^m |z-a_k|^{2\beta_k}, \quad |z|=1, \quad |a_k|=1, \quad \beta_k>-1/2, \quad k=1, ..., m, $$ where $w(z)>0$ for…

The period polynomial $r_f(z)$ for a weight $k \geq 3$ newform $f \in S_k(\Gamma_0(N),\chi)$ is the generating function for special values of $L(s,f)$. The functional equation for $L(s, f)$ induces a functional equation on $r_f(z)$. Jin,…

Looijenga--Lunts and Verbitsky showed that the cohomology of a compact hyper-K\"ahler manifold $X$ admits a natural action by the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{so} (4, b_2(X)-2)$, generalizing the Hard Lefschetz decomposition for compact K\"ahler…

Notions of rank abound in the literature on tensor decomposition. We prove that strength, recently introduced for homogeneous polynomials by Ananyan-Hochster in their proof of Stillman's conjecture and generalised here to other tensors, is…

Taking a compact K\"{a}hler manifold as playground, we explore the powerfulness of Hodge index theorem. A main object is the Lorentzian classes on a compact K\"{a}hler manifold, behind which the characterization via Lorentzian polynomials…

Let $M$ be a closed symplectic manifold of dimension $2n$ with non-ellipticity. We can define an almost K\"ahler structure on $M$ by using the given symplectic form. Hence, we have a $\G=\pi_1(M)$-invariant almost K\"ahler structure on the…
