We prove that the order complex of a geometric lattice has a convex ear decomposition. As a consequence, if D(L) is the order complex of a rank (r+1) geometric lattice L, then for all i \leq r/2 the h-vector of D(L) satisfies h(i-1) \leq…

It is well known that if two finite groups have the same symmetric tensor categories of representations over C, then they are isomorphic. We study the following question: when do two finite groups G1,G2 have the same tensor categories of…

The 2-rank of a compact Lie group $G$ is the maximal possible rank of the elementary 2-subgroup ${\mathbb Z}_{2}\times... {\mathbb Z}_{2}$ of $G$. The study of 2-ranks (and $p$-rank for any prime $p$) of compact Lie groups was initiated in…

Functions with uniform level sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used, e.g., in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…

We apply the notion of a full convex subcategory to a wide range of algebras including tilted, quasi-tilted, shod, weakly shod, left and right glued, laura, simply connected, strongly simply connected, left supported, and cluster-tilted. In…

A rank estimator in robust regression is a minimizer of a function which depends (in addition to other factors) on the ordering of residuals but not on their values. Here we focus on the optimization aspects of rank estimators. We…

We study the mixed-integer epigraph of a special class of convex functions with non-convex indicator constraints, which are often used to impose logical constraints on the support of the solutions. The class of functions we consider are…

Using calculus we show how to prove some combinatorial inequalities of the type log-concavity or log-convexity. It is shown by this method that binomial coefficients and Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds are log-concave, and…

Padberg introduced a geometric notion of ranks for (mixed) integer rational polyhedrons and conjectured that the geometric rank of the matching polytope is one. In this work, we prove that this conjecture is true.

If G is a Lie group, let D(G) be the space of compactly supported smooth functions on G. Consider the bilinear map B : D(G) x D(G) -> D(G), (f,g) |-> f*g which takes a pair of test functions to their convolution. We show that B is…

A function is exponentially concave if its exponential is concave. We consider exponentially concave functions on the unit simplex. In a previous paper we showed that gradient maps of exponentially concave functions provide solutions to a…

In this work we deal with set-valued functions with values in the power set of a separated locally convex space where a nontrivial pointed convex cone induces a partial order relation. A set-valued function is evenly convex if its epigraph…

By a tensor we mean an element of a tensor product of vector spaces over a field. Up to a choice of bases in factors of tensor products, every tensor may be coordinatized, that is, represented as an array consisting of numbers. This note is…

An LCK manifold with potential is a compact quotient of a Kahler manifold $X$ equipped with a positive Kahler potential $f$, such that the monodromy group acts on $X$ by holomorphic homotheties and multiplies $f$ by a character. The LCK…

We prove that the rank-one convex hull of finitely many $2\times 2$ triangular matrices is a semialgebraic set, defined by linear and quadratic polynomials. We present explicit constructions for five-point configurations and offer evidence…

A functional analog of the Klain-Schneider theorem for vector-valued valuations on convex functions is established, providing a classification of continuous, translation covariant, simple valuations. Under additional rotation equivariance…

Using techniques developed in \cite{KLR}, we verify Sarnak's conjecture for two classes of rank-one subshifts with unbounded cutting parameters. The first class of rank-one subshifts we consider are called {\em almost complete congruency…

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…

We show that a rank two finite group G admits a finite G-CW-complex X homotopy equivalent to a sphere, with rank one prime power isotropy, if and only if G does not p'-involve Qd(p) for any odd prime p. This follows from a more general…

In this paper, we present a more complete version of the minimax theorem established in [7]. As a consequence, we get, for instance, the following result: Let $X$ be a compact, not singleton subset of a normed space $(E,\|\cdot\|)$ and let…
