A Fibonacci-like terrace structure along a 5fold axis of i-Al(68)Pd(23)Mn(9) monograins has been observed by T.M. Schaub et al. with scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). In the planes of the terraces they see patterns of dark pentagonal…
We establish a correspondence between one-parameter deformations of an affine Gorenstein toric pair $(X_P, \partial X_P)$, defined by a polytope $P$, and mutations of a Laurent polynomial $f$ with Newton polytope $\newt(f) = P$. For a…
The first secant variety of a projective monomial curve is a threefold with an action by a one-dimensional torus. Its tropicalization is a three-dimensional fan with a one-dimensional lineality space, so the tropical threefold is…
Given a finite graded poset with labeled Hasse diagram, we construct a quasi- symmetric generating function for (saturated) chains whose labels have fixed descents. This is a common generalization of a generating function for the flag…
We study a class of polyhedra associated to marked posets. Examples of these polyhedra are Gelfand-Tsetlin polytopes and cones, as well as Berenstein-Zelevinsky polytopes, all of which have appeared in the representation theory of…
The motivic nearby fiber is an invariant obtained from degenerating a complex variety over a disc. It specializes to the Euler characteristic of the original variety but also contains information on the variation of Hodge structure…
In this note we study linear systems on complete toric varieties $X$ with an invariant point, whose orbit under the action of the automorphism group of $X$ contains the dense torus $T$ of $X$. We give a characterization of such varieties in…
The order and chain polytopes, introduced by Richard P. Stanley, form a pair of Ehrhart equivalent polytopes associated to a given finite poset. A conjecture by Takayuki Hibi and Nan Li states that the $f$-vector of the chain polytope…
We study semi-stable degenerations of toric varieties determined by certain partitions of their moment polytopes. Analyzing their defining equations we prove a property of uniqueness.
Given a toric degeneration (a degeneration to a toric variety), over the complex numbers, we construct a surjective continuous map from a general fiber to the special fiber of the degeneration in the classical topology. The construction is…
Following a question of Vinberg, a general method to construct monomial bases for finite-dimensional irreducible representations of a reductive Lie algebra was developed in a series of papers by Feigin, Fourier, and Littelmann. Relying on…
In this paper, we study the Gelfand--Cetlin systems and polytopes of the co-adjoint $\mathrm{SO}(n)$-orbits. We describe the face structure of Gelfand--Cetlin polytopes and iterated bundle structure of Gelfand--Cetlin fibers in terms of…
For a Weyl group $W$ and a $W$-permutohedron $P$, there are associated toric varieties $X_P$ and $X_{P/W_K}$ for any parabolic subgroup $W_K$ of $W$, since the quotient $P/W_K$ can be identified with a polytope inside $P$. We construct an…
A new construction of BPS monodromies for 4d ${\mathcal N}=2$ theories of class S is introduced. A novel feature of this construction is its manifest invariance under Kontsevich-Soibelman wall crossing, in the sense that no information on…
Motivated by an experimental study of groups generated by reflections in planar patterns of tangent circles, we describe some methods for constructing and studying representation spaces of holonomy groups of infinite volume hyperbolic…
For essential reduced hyperplane arrangements of 4 variables, we show that the pole order spectral sequence degenerates almost at $E_2$, and completely at $E_3$, generalizing the 3 variable case where the complete $E_2$-degeneration is…
We classify graded pre-Nichols algebras of diagonal type with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension. The characterization is made through an isomorphism of posets with the family of appropriate subsets of the set of positive roots coming from…
The main goal of this paper is to give explicit descriptions of two maximal cones in the Gr\"obner fan of the Pl\"ucker ideal. These cones correspond to the monomial ideals given by semistandard and PBW-semistandard Young tableaux. For the…
We study the deformation theory of morphisms of properads and props thereby extending to a non-linear framework Quillen's deformation theory for commutative rings. The associated chain complex is endowed with a Lie algebra up to homotopy…
In the present paper, we prove that the toric ideals of certain $s$-block diagonal matching fields have quadratic Gr\"obner bases. Thus, in particular, those are quadratically generated. By using this result, we provide a new family of…
