The positive semidefinite (psd) rank of a polytope is the size of the smallest psd cone that admits an affine slice that projects linearly onto the polytope. The psd rank of a d-polytope is at least d+1, and when equality holds we say that…
Blasiak verified a conjecture of White for graphic matroids by showing that the toric ideal of a graphic matroid is generated by quadrics. In this paper, we extend this result to frame matroids satisfying a linearity condition. Such classes…
Given a chiral d-polytope K with regular facets, we describe a construction for a chiral (d + 1)-polytope P with facets isomorphic to K. Furthermore, P is finite whenever K is finite. We provide explicit examples of chiral 4-polytopes…
The flow polytope $\mathcal{F}_{\widetilde{G}}$ is the set of nonnegative unit flows on the graph $\widetilde{G}$. The subdivision algebra of flow polytopes prescribes a way to dissect a flow polytope $\mathcal{F}_{\widetilde{G}}$ into…
In 2016, Ananyan and Hochster gave the first proof of a positive answer to Stillman's Question, which asked for a bound on the projective dimension of a graded polynomial ideal purely in terms of the number and degrees of its generators.…
Let $G$ be a finite graph on the vertex set $[d] = \{1, ..., d \}$ with the edges $e_1, ..., e_n$ and $K[\tb] = K[t_1, ..., t_d]$ the polynomial ring in $d$ variables over a field $K$. The edge ring of $G$ is the semigroup ring $K[G]$ which…
Given a tree T on n vertices, there is an associated ideal I of a polynomial ring in n variables over a field, generated by all paths of a fixed length of T. We show that such an ideal always satisfies the Konig property and classify all…
In this paper we study squarefree monomial ideals which have constant depth functions. Edge ideals, matroidal ideals and facet ideals of pure simplicial forests connected in codimension one with this property are classified.
In this paper, we consider the volume of a special kind of flow polytope. We show that its volume satisfies a certain system of differential equations, and conversely, the solution of the system of differential equations is unique up to a…
It is shown that, for each $d \geq 4$, there exists an integral convex polytope $\mathcal{P}$ of dimension $d$ such that each of the coefficients of $n, n^{2}, \ldots, n^{d-2}$ of its Ehrhart polynomial $i(\mathcal{P},n)$ is negative.…
This paper investigates which smooth manifolds arise as quotients (orbit spaces) of flows of vector fields. Such quotient maps were already known to be surjective on fundamental groups, but this paper shows that every epimorphism of…
We searched integrable 2D homogeneous polynomial potential with a polynomial first integral by using the so-called direct method of searching for first integrals. We proved that there exist no polynomial first integrals which are genuinely…
In this paper we give an upper bound, in characteristic 0, for the cohomological dimension of a graded ideal in a polynomial ring such that the quotient has depth at least 3. In positive characteristic the same bound holds true by a…
Adem and Reichstein introduced the ideal of truncated symmetric polynomials to present the permutation invariant subring in the cohomology of a finite product of projective spaces. Building upon their work, I describe a generating set of…
The Euler equation of an ideal (i.e. inviscid incompressible) fluid can be regarded, following V.Arnold, as the geodesic flow of the right-invariant $L^2$-metric on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the flow domain. In this…
Monotone polytopes, also known as smooth reflexive polytopes, are the polytopes associated to monotone symplectic toric manifolds and Gorenstein Fano toric varieties. We first show that the only monotone polytopes admitting blow-ups at…
The first secant variety of a projective monomial curve is a threefold with an action by a one-dimensional torus. Its tropicalization is a three-dimensional fan with a one-dimensional lineality space, so the tropical threefold is…
In this note we describe the minimal resolution of the ideal $I_f$, the saturation of the Jacobian ideal of a nearly free plane curve $C:f=0$. In particular, it follows that this ideal $I_f$ can be generated by at most 4 polynomials.…
We prove that among four-dimensional ideal right-angled hyperbolic polytopes the 24-cell is of minimal volume and of minimal facet number. As a corollary, a dimension bound for ideal right-angled hyperbolic polytopes is obtained.
Let $I$ be a weakly polymatroidal ideal or a squarefree monomial ideal of a polynomial ring $S$. In this paper we provide a lower bound for the Stanley depth of $I$ and $S/I$. In particular we prove that if $I$ is a squarefree monomial…
