Let $G$ be a connected graph and let $I(G)$ denote its edge ideal. We classify when $I(G)^n$, for $n \ge 1$, admits a minimal Lyubeznik resolution. We also give a characterization for when $I(G)^n$ is bridge-friendly, which, in turn,…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field. Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ and $W$ be the associated Weyl group. We show that for any $w \in W$ that is not contained in any standard parabolic subgroup of…
This paper proves a conjecture of Fomin and Shapiro that their combinatorial model for any Bruhat interval is a regular CW complex which is homeomorphic to a ball. The model consists of a stratified space which may be regarded as the link…
Let $(W,S,L)$ be a weighted Coxeter system and $J$ a subset of $S$, Yin [12] introduced the weighted $W$-graph ideal $E_J$ and the weighted Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials $ \left \{ P_{x,y} \mid x,y\in E_J\right \}$. In this paper, we study…
For a given undirected graph $G$, an \emph{ordered} subset $S = {s_1,s_2,...,s_k} \subseteq V$ of vertices is a resolving set for the graph if the vertices of the graph are distinguishable by their vector of distances to the vertices in…
$W$-graphs, representing the multiplication action of the standard basis on the canonical basis in the Iwahori-Hecke algebra are introduced by Kazhdan and Lusztig. Marberg defined a generalized $W$-graph, the Gelfand W-graph, corresponding…
Bremke and Xi determined the lowest two-sided cell for affine Weyl groups with unequal parameters and showed that it consists of at most |W_{0}| left cells where W_{0} is the associated finite Weyl group. We prove that this bound is exact.…
We give a lower bound for the value at q=1 of a Kazhdan-Lustig polynomial in a Weyl group W in terms of "patterns''. This is expressed by a "pattern map" from W to W' for any parabloic subgroup W'. This notion generalizes the concept of…
A resolving set for a graph $G$ is a set of vertices $Q = \{q_1, ..., q_k\}$ such that, for all $p\in V(G)$ the $k$-tuple $(d(p, q_1), ..., d(p, q_k ))$ uniquely determines $p$, where $d(p, q_i)$ is considered as the minimum length of a…
Lie-theoretic structures of type $E_8$ (e.g., Lie groups and algebras, Hecke algebras and Kazhdan-Lusztig cells, ...) are considered to serve as a `gold standard' when it comes to judging the effectiveness of a general algorithm for solving…
We study various ideals arising in the theory of system reliability. We use ideas from the theory of divisors, orientations and matroids on graphs to describe the minimal polyhedral cellular free resolutions of these ideals. In each case we…
This paper is a contribution to the study of the geometry of algebras related the Weyl groupoid initiated in \cite{M22}. The Nullstellensatz gives a bijection between radical ideals of such an algebra and their zero loci, the superalgebraic…
Given an affine Coxeter group $W$, the corresponding Shi arrangement is a refinement of the corresponding Coxeter hyperplane arrangements that was introduced by Shi to study Kazhdan-Lusztig cells for $W$. In particular, Shi showed that each…
Let $W$ be a finite Coxeter group. It is well-known that the number of involutions in $W$ is equal to the sum of the degrees of the irreducible characters of $W$. Following a suggestion of Lusztig, we show that this equality is compatible…
Several relations and bounds for the dimension of principal ideals in group algebras are determined by analyzing minimal polynomials of regular representations. These results are used in the two last sections. First, in the context of…
A resolving set for a graph $\Gamma$ is a collection of vertices $S$, chosen so that for each vertex $v$, the list of distances from $v$ to the members of $S$ uniquely specifies $v$. The metric dimension of $\Gamma$ is the smallest size of…
We prove that the minimal left ideals of the superextension $\lambda(Z)$ of the discrete group $Z$ of integers are metrizable topological semigroups, topologically isomorphic to minimal left ideals of the superextension $\lambda(Z_2)$ of…
In this paper, we characterize all graphs $G$ satisfying \[\operatorname{reg}(S/J_G)=\ell(G)=c(G)\] where $\ell(G)$ is the sum of the lengths of the longest induced paths in each connected component of $G$ and $c(G)$ is the number of the…
With an eye to applications to type A and Schur-Weyl duality, we study Kazhdan-Lusztig bases for a general parabolic Hecke algebra. Parabolic Hecke algebras are idempotent subalgebras of Hecke algebras corresponding to parabolic subgroups,…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the group algebra $\mathbf{k}[S_n]$ of the $n$-th symmetric group $S_n$ over a commutative ring $\mathbf{k}$. For any two subsets $A$ and $B$ of $[n]$, we define the elements \[ \nabla_{B,A}:=\sum_{\substack{w\in…
