We define and study rook matroids, the bases of which correspond to non-nesting rook placements on a skew Ferrers board. We show that rook matroids are closed under taking duals and direct sums but not minors. Rook matroids are also a…

In this note, we give a rank function axiomatization for delta-matroids and study the corresponding rank generating function. We relate an evaluation of the rank generating function to the number of independent sets of the delta-matroid,…

In this paper, we describe properties of the characteristic polynomial of a weighted lattice and show that it has a recursive description, which we use to obtain results on the critical exponent of $q$-polymatroids. We give a Critical…

We introduce the singular cohomology ring of a matroid which extends the Chow ring of a matroid. This is defined as the singular cohomology ring of a certain quasi-projective toric variety associated to the matroid. Using the matroidal…

We show how lattice paths and the reflection principle can be used to give easy proofs of unimodality results. In particular, we give a "one-line" combinatorial proof of the unimodality of the binomial coefficients. Other examples include…

For any connected complex reductive group $G$ and element $z$ of its Weyl group $W$, we use work of Lusztig and Abreu-Nigro to compute the graded $W$-character of the intersection cohomology of any closed Lusztig variety for $z$ over the…

In this paper we describe the facets cone associated to transversal polymatroid presented by $\mathcal{A} = \{\{1,2\},\{2,3\},...,\{n-1,n\},\{n,1\}\}.$ Using the Danilov-Stanley theorem to characterize the canonicale module, we deduce that…

We provide a deletion formula for the inverse Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomial and the inverse $Z$-polynomial of a matroid. Our formulas provide analogues to the deletion formulas of Braden--Vysogorets for Kazhdan--Lusztig and $Z$-polynomials.…

We study combinatorial inequalities for various classes of set systems: matroids, polymatroids, poset antimatroids, and interval greedoids. We prove log-concavity inequalities for counting certain weighted feasible words, which generalize…

Real-stable, Lorentzian, and log-concave polynomials are well-studied classes of polynomials, and have been powerful tools in resolving several conjectures. We show that the problems of deciding whether a polynomial of fixed degree is real…

In this paper, we establish an innovative framework in logarithmic Hodge theory for toroidal varieties, introducing weighted toroidal structures and developing a systematic obstruction theory for Hodge classes. Building upon recent advances…

We prove a number of p-adic congruences for the coefficients of powers of a multivariate polynomial f(x) with coefficients in a ring R of characteristic zero. If the Hasse--Witt operation is invertible, our congruences yield p-adic limit…

We give a new combinatorial proof for the number of convex polyominoes whose minimum enclosing rectangle has given dimensions. We also count the subclass of these polyominoes that contain the lower left corner of the enclosing rectangle…

We study monic univariate polynomials whose coefficients are analytic functions of a real variable and whose roots lie in a specified analytic curve. These include characteristic polynomials of unitary and hermitian matrices whose entries…

The Collatz conjecture is explored using polynomials based on a binary numeral system. It is shown that the degree of the polynomials, on average, decreases after a finite number of steps of the Collatz operation, which provides a weak…

Motivated by the intersection theory of moduli spaces of curves, we introduce psi classes in matroid Chow rings and prove a number of properties that naturally generalize properties of psi classes in Chow rings of Losev-Manin spaces. We use…

We formulate a series of conjectures on the stable tensor product of irreducible representations of symmetric groups, which are closely related to the reduced Kronecker coefficients. These conjectures are certain generalizations of…

We prove certain duality properties and present recurrence relations for a four-parameter family of self-dual Koornwinder-Macdonald polynomials. The recurrence relations are used to verify Macdonald's normalization conjectures for these…
