The Gauss-Bonnet theorem for a polyhedron (a union of finitely many compact convex polytopes) in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space expresses the Euler characteristic of the polyhedron as a sum of certain curvatures, which are different from…
This work presents the tessellations and polytopes from the perspective of both n-dimensional geometry and abstract symmetry groups. It starts with a brief introduction to the terminology and a short motivation. In the first part, it…
Marginal polytopes are important geometric objects that arise in statistics as the polytopes underlying hierarchical log-linear models. These polytopes can be used to answer geometric questions about these models, such as determining the…
Orbits of coadjoint representations of classical compact Lie groups have a lot of applications. They appear in representation theory, geometrical quantization, theory of magnetism, quantum optics etc. As geometric objects the orbits were…
In a d-simplex every facet is a (d-1)-simplex. We consider as generalized simplices other combinatorial classes of polytopes, all of whose facets are in the class. Cubes and multiplexes are two such classes of generalized simplices. In this…
Cyclic polytopes have been studied since at least the early last century by Caratheodory and others.A generalization is a construction of a class of polytopes such that the polytopes have some of their properties.The best known example is…
Given an orbifold, we construct an orthogonal spectrum representing its stable global homotopy type. Orthogonal spectra now represent orbifold cohomology theories which automatically satisfy certain properties as additivity and the…
When the standard representation of a crystallographic Coxeter group $\Gamma$ is reduced modulo an odd prime $p$, a finite representation in some orthogonal space over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is obtained. If $\Gamma$ has a string diagram, the latter…
A family of polynomials parameterized by the conjugacy classes of a finite Coxeter group is investigated. These polynomials, together with the character table of the group, determine the associated generic degrees. The polynomials are…
According to Euler's relation any polytope P has as many faces of even dimension as it has faces of odd dimension. As a generalization of this fact one can compare the number of faces whose dimension is congruent to i modulo m with the…
Abstract polytopes are combinatorial structures with distinctive geometric, algebraic, or topological characteristics, that generalize (the face lattice of) traditional polyhedra, polytopes or tessellations. Most research has focused on…
We obtain explicit formulas for the rational homotopy groups of generalised symmetric spaces, i.e., the homogeneous spaces for which the isotropy subgroup appears as the fixed point group of some finite order automorphism of the group. In…
Preorder polytopes, defined from preorders on finite sets, are introduced and studied from a lattice point enumeration point of view. They naturally generalize arbor polytopes, recently introduced and studied by the second named author.…
We examine properties of generic automorphisms of the random poset, with the goal of explicitly characterizing them. We associate to each automorphism an auxiliary first-order structure, consisting of the random poset equipped with an…
In this paper we introduce a notion of {\it generalized operad} containing as special cases various kinds of operad--like objects: ordinary, cyclic, modular, properads etc. We then construct inner cohomomorphism objects in their categories…
In this note on coarse geometry we revisit coarse homotopy. We prove that coarse homotopy indeed is an equivalence relation, and this in the most general context of abstract coarse structures. We introduce (in a geometric way) coarse…
The purpose of this thesis is to study classical combinatorial objects, such as polytopes, polytopal complexes, and subspace arrangements, using tools that have been developed in combinatorial topology, especially those tools developed in…
We introduce and study the notion of orthosymmetric spaces over an Archimedean vector lattice as a generalization of finite-dimentional Euclidean inner spaces. A special attention has been paid to linear operators on these spaces.
We investigate a novel setting for polytope rigidity, where a flex must preserve edge lengths and the planarity of faces, but is allowed to change the shapes of faces. For instance, the regular cube is flexible in this notion. We present…
An orbit polytope is the convex hull of an orbit under a finite group $G \leq \operatorname{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$. We develop a general theory of possible affine symmetry groups of orbit polytopes. For every group, we define an open and dense…
