With G=GL(n,C), let $\mathcal{X}_{\Gamma}G$ be the G-character variety of a given finitely presented group $\Gamma$, and let $\mathcal{X}^{irr}_{\Gamma}G \subset \mathcal{X}_{\Gamma}G$ be the locus of irreducible representation conjugacy…

We study decompositions of natural numbers into triangular summands. For instance, we prove that any natural number can be represented as a sum of four triangular numbers, two of them having even indices and the other two having odd…

Let G be a finite subgroup of GL_n(C). G-constellations are a scheme-theoretic generalization of orbits of G in C^n. We study flat families of G-constellations parametrised by an arbitrary resolution of the quotient space C^n/G. We develop…

Let p be an odd prime. When n>2, we show that each tensor factor of form E \otimes \Gamma in H(Z,n;Z_p) is an A-infinity bialgebra with non-trivial structure. We give explicit formulas for the structure maps and the quadratic relations…

The intersection index at a common point of two analytic varieties of complementary dimensions in $\Bbb C^n$ is positive. This observation, which has been called a ``cornerstone'' of algebraic geometry ([GH, p.~62]), is a simple consequence…

While Kronecker coefficients $g(\lambda,\mu,\nu)$ with bounded rows are polynomial-time computable via lattice-point methods, no explicit closed-form formulas have been obtained for genuinely three-row cases in the 87 years since…

Let $R$ be any associative ring with $1$, $n\ge 3$, and let $A,B$ be two-sided ideals of $R$. In our previous joint works with Roozbeh Hazrat [17,15] we have found a generating set for the mixed commutator subgroup $[E(n,R,A),E(n,R,B)]$.…

We study the structure of the Goulden-Jackson-Vakil formula that relates Hurwitz numbers to some conjectural "intersection numbers" on a conjectural family of varieties $X_{g,n}$ of dimension $4g-3+n$. We give explicit formulas for the…

Consider a semi-algebraic set A in R^d constructed from the sets which are determined by inequalities p_i(x)>0, p_i(x)\ge 0, or p_i(x)=0 for a given list of polynomials p_1,...,p_m. We prove several statements that fit into the following…

We prove that the $d$-component of the generic initial ideal, with respect to the reverse lexicographic order, of an ideal generated by a regular sequence of homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ is revlex in a particular, but important,…

We create several families of bases for the symmetric polynomials. From these bases we prove that certain Schur symmetric polynomials form a basis for quotients of symmetric polynomials that generalize the cohomology and the quantum…

We find the minimal number of self-intersections of the boundary of a surface of genus g generically immersed in the plane.

Amoebas are projections of complex algebraic varieties in the algebraic torus under a Log-absolute value map, which have connections to various mathematical subjects. While amoebas of hypersurfaces have been intensively studied in recent…

We consider a set of equations of the form $p_j (x,y) = (10 x+m_j)(10 y + n_j),\,\,x\geq 0, y\geq0$, $j=1,2,3$, such that $\{m_1=7, n_1=3\}$, $\{m_2=n_2=9\}$ and $\{m_3=n_3=1\}$, respectively. It is shown that if $(a(p_j),b(p_j)) \in N…

For a given real number $a$ we define the sequence $\{E_{n,a}\}$ by $E_{0,a}=1$ and $E_{n,a}=-a\sum_{k=1}^{[n/2]} \binom n{2k}E_{n-2k,a}$ $(n\ge 1)$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. Since $E_{n,1}=E_n$ is the n-th…

We consider the three dimensional array $\mathcal{A} = \{a_{i,j,k}\}_{1\le i,j,k \le n}$, with $a_{i,j,k} \in [0,1]$, and the two random statistics $T_{1}:= \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n a_{i,j,\sigma(i)}$ and $T_{2}:= \sum_{i=1}^{n}…

Let $I = ( f_1, \dots, f_n )$ be a homogeneous ideal in the polynomial ring $K[x_1, \dots,x_n]$ over a field $K$ generated by generic polynomials. Using an incremental approach based on a method by Gao, Guan and Volny, and properties of the…

A graph $G$ is defined encapsulating the number theoretic notion of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. We then provide a graph theoretic approach to the fundamental results on the coprimality of two natural numbers, through the use of…

A study of the intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary was recently initiated in a work of R. Pandharipande, J. P. Solomon and the third author, where they introduced open intersection numbers in genus 0.…

Alesker has introduced the space $\mathcal V^\infty(M)$ of {\it smooth valuations} on a smooth manifold $M$, and shown that it admits a natural commutative multiplication. Although Alesker's original construction is highly technical, from a…
