We consider standard graded toric rings $R_{\Delta}$ whose generators correspond to the faces of a simplicial complex $\Delta$. When $R_{\Delta}$ is normal, it is shown that its divisor class group is free. For a flag complex $\Delta$ which…
By a theorem of R. Stanley, a graded Cohen-Macaulay domain $A$ is Gorenstein if and only if its Hilbert series satisfies the functional equation \[ \operatorname{Hilb}_A(t^{-1})=(-1)^d t^{-a}\operatorname{Hilb}_A(t), \] where $d$ is the…
The main aim of this paper is to prove $R$-triviality for simple, simply connected algebraic groups with Tits index $E_{8,2}^{78}$ or $E_{7,1}^{78}$, defined over a field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. Let $G$ be such a group. We prove…
Let R be a semi-local regular ring containing an infinite perfect field, and let K be the field of fractions of R. Let H be a simple algebraic group of type F_4 over R such that H_K is the automorphism group of a 27-dimensional Jordan…
We define Bernstein-Gelfand-Ponomarev reflection functors in the cluster categories of hereditary algebras. They are triangle equivalences which provide a natural quiver realization of the "truncated simple reflections" on the set of almost…
We provide a new condition for an absolutely almost simple algebraic group to have good reduction with respect to a discrete valuation of the base field which is formulated in terms of the existence of maximal tori with special properties.…
The goal of this paper is to study Goldbach's conjecture for rings of regular functions of affine algebraic varieties over a field. Among our main results, we define the notion of Goldbach condition for Newton polytopes, and we prove in a…
Monomial ideals and toric rings are closely related. By consider a Grobner basis we can always associated to any ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring a monomial ideal ${\rm in}_\prec I$, in some special situations the monomial ideal ${\rm…
For every positive integer $n$, consider the linear operator $\U_{n}$ on polynomials of degree at most $d$ with integer coefficients defined as follows: if we write $\frac{h(t)}{(1 - t)^{d + 1}} = \sum_{m \geq 0} g(m) t^{m}$, for some…
We introduce a new method for proving twisted homological stability, and use it to prove such results for symmetric groups and general linear groups. In addition to sometimes slightly improving the stable range given by the traditional…
Let $k$ be a field containing an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If $G$ is a finite group and $D$ is a division algebra over $k$, finite dimensional over its center, we can associate to a faithful $G$-grading on $D$ a…
We study the connection between stringy Betti numbers of Gorenstein toric varieties and the generating functions of the Ehrhart polynomials of certain polyhedral regions. We use this point of view to give counterexamples to Hibi's…
We study commutative algebras with Gorenstein duality, i.e. algebras $A$ equipped with a non-degenerate bilinear pairing such that $\langle ac,b\rangle=\langle a,bc\rangle$ for any $a,b,c\in A$. If an algebra $A$ is Artinian, such pairing…
We develop some ideas of Morrison and Plesser and formulate a precise mathematical conjecture which has close relations to toric mirror symmetry. Our conjecture, we call it Toric Residue Mirror Conjecture, claims that the generating…
The Casas-Alvero conjecture predicts that every univariate polynomial over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero sharing a common factor with each of its Hasse-Schmidt derivatives is a power of a linear polynomial. The…

We show that algebraic formulas and constant-depth circuits are closed under taking factors. In other words, we show that if a multivariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero has a small constant-depth circuit or formula, then…
In this paper, the principal tool to describe transversal polymatroids with Gorenstein base ring is polyhedral geometry, especially the $Danilov-Stanley$ theorem for the characterization of canonical module. Also, we compute the…
The Casas--Alvero conjecture predicts that every univariate polynomial $f$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero having a common factor with each of its derivatives $H\_i(f)$ is a power of a linear polynomial. Let…
Given a reductive group $G$ and a parabolic subgroup $P\subset G$, with maximaltorus $T$, we consider (following Dabrowski's work) the closure $X$ of a generic $T$-orbit in $G/P$, and determine in combinatorial termswhen the toric variety…
