We introduce matrix algebra of subsets in metric spaces and we apply it to improve results of Yamauchi and Davila regarding Asymptotic Property C. Here is a representative result: Suppose $X$ is an $\infty$-pseudo-metric space and $n\ge 0$…

We introduce a new type of reduction of inversive difference polynomials that is associated with a partition of the basic set of automorphisms $\sigma$ and uses a generalization of the concept of effective order of a difference polynomial.…

We show how tropical varieties of ideals I over a field K with non-trivial valuation can be traced back to tropical varieties of ideals in R[[t]][x] over some dense subring R in its ring of integers. Moreover, for homogeneous ideals, we…

The principal minors of a symmetric $n{\times}n$-matrix form a vector of length $2^n$. We characterize these vectors in terms of algebraic equations derived from the $ 2{\times}2{\times}2$-hyperdeterminant.

We address the problem of existence of refined (i.e., depending on a formal parameter) tropical enumerative invariants, and we present two new examples of a refined count of rational marked tropical curves. One of the new invariants counts…

In this text, we show that locally tropically convex tropical varieties in $\mathbb{R}^n$ have locally a canonical polyhedral structure that satisfies higher balancing conditions at all cells of positive codimension.

In this paper, the concept of toric difference varieties is defined and four equivalent descriptions for toric difference varieties are presented in terms of difference rational parametrization, difference coordinate rings, toric difference…

The All Minors Matrix Tree Theorem states that the determinant of any submatrix of a matrix whose columns sum to zero can be computed as a sum over certain oriented forests. We offer a particularly short proof of this result, which amounts…

The simplest toroidally compactified string theories exhibit a duality between large and small radii: compactification on a circle, for example, is invariant under R goes to 1/R. Compactification on more general Lorentzian lattices (i.e.…

We determine the probability that a random n x n symmetric matrix over {1, 2, ... , m} has determinant divisible by m.

We show that determining Kapranov rank of tropical matrices is not only NP-hard over any infinite field but also if solving Diophantine equations over the rational numbers is undecidable, then determining Kapranov rank over the rational…

The purpose of this paper is fourfold. The first is to develop the theory of tropical differential algebraic geometry from scratch; the second is to present the tropical fundamental theorem for differential algebraic geometry, and show how…

In this paper we present two intrinsic algebraic definitions of tropical variety motivated by the classical Zariski correspondence, one utilizing the algebraic structure of the coordinate semiring of an affine supertropical algebraic set,…

This paper studies the following question: given a piecewise-linear function, find its minimal algebraic representation as a tropical rational signomial. We put forward two different notions of minimality, one based on monomial length, the…

We compute the magnitude (an isometric invariant of metric spaces) of compact $\mathbb{R}$-trees and show that it equals $1 + L/2$, where $L \in [0, \infty]$ denotes the total length. Although length is the only geometric invariant captured…

In this paper we prove a conjecture of Bryant, Griffiths, and Yang concerning the characteristic variety for the determined isometric embedding system. In particular, we show that the characteristic variety is not smooth for any dimension…

A matrix-valued measure $\Theta$ reduces to measures of smaller size if there exists a constant invertible matrix $M$ such that $M\Theta M^*$ is block diagonal. Equivalently, the real vector space ${\mathscr A}$ of all matrices $T$ such…

It is known that the weight (that is, the number of nonzero coefficients) of a univariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero is larger than the multiplicity of any of its nonzero roots. We extend this result to an appropriate…

There are close relations between tripartite tensors with bounded geometric ranks and linear determinantal varieties with bounded codimensions. We study linear determinantal varieties with bounded codimensions, and prove upper bounds of the…
