Recently, an infinite class of holographic generalized complexities was proposed. These gravitational observables display the behavior required to be duals of complexity, in particular, linear growth at late times and switchback effect. In…
Let $X$ be a compact toric extremal K\"ahler manifold. Using the work of Sz\'ekelyhidi, we provide a combinatorial criterion on the fan describing $X$ to ensure the existence of complex deformations of $X$ that carry extremal metrics. As an…
We describe the structure of simplicial locally convex fans associated to even-dimensional complete toric varieties with signature 0. They belong to the set of such toric varieties whose even degree Betti numbers yield a top gamma vector…
The maximal analytic Schwarzschild spacetime is manifestly inextendible as a Lorentzian manifold with a twice continuously differentiable metric. In this paper, we prove the stronger statement that it is even inextendible as a Lorentzian…
We study the Hartogs extension phenomenon in non-compact toric varieties and its relation to the first cohomology group with compact support. We show that a toric variety admits this phenomenon if at least one connected component of the fan…
It is well-known that global hyperbolicity implies that the Lorentzian distance is finite and continuous. By carefully analysing the causes of discontinuity of the Lorentzian distance, we show that in most other respects the finiteness and…
Game-theoretic characterizations of selection principles provide a powerful framework for analyzing covering properties through strategic interactions. For a Tychonoff space $X$ and a non-trivial metrizable arc-connected topological group…
In this paper we describe the notion of a toric supervariety, generalizing that of a toric variety from the classical setting. We give a combinatorial interpretation of the category of quasinormal toric supervarieties with one odd dimension…
For a fan $\Delta$, we introduce Grothendieck weights as a ring of functions from $\Delta$ to $\mathbb{Z}$ that form a K-theoretic analogue of Minkowski weights and describe the operational $K$-theory of a complete toric variety. We give an…
In this article we study minimal flat Lorentzian surfaces in Lorentzian complex space forms. First we prove that, for minimal flat Lorentzian surfaces in a Lorentzian complex form, the equation of Ricci is a consequence of the equations of…
In Lorentzian geometry, limited definition of angles restricts the use of angle bisectors in study of triangles. This paper redefines angle bisectors so that they can be used to study attributes of triangles. Using the new definition, this…
Associated to a toric variety $X$ of dimension $r$ over a field $k$ is a fan $\Delta$ on $\Bbb R^r$. The fan $\Delta$ is a finite set of cones which are in one-to-one correspondence with the orbits of the torus action on $X$. The fan…
The tropical variety defined by linear equations with constant coefficients is the Bergman fan of the corresponding matroid. Building on a self-contained introduction to matroid polytopes, we present a geometric construction of the Bergman…
We develop a general theory of log spaces, in which one can make sense of the basic notions of logarithmic geometry, in the sense of Fontaine-Illusie-Kato. Many of our general constructions with log spaces are new, even in the algebraic…
In this paper, we introduce a natural notion of constant curvature Lorentzian surfaces with conical singularities, and provide a large class of examples of such structures. We moreover initiate the study of their global rigidity, by proving…
We survey some of the mechanisms used to prove that naturally defined sequences in combinatorics are log-concave. Among these mechanisms are Alexandrov's inequality for mixed discriminants, the Alexandrov Fenchel inequality for mixed…
In this paper, we provide a combinatorial description of seminormal toric varieties. The corresponding combinatorial object is a fan equipped with a collection of groups assigned to each cone. This framework introduces a more general class…
We derive all possible causality conditions for conformally flat Lorentzian metrics on the two-dimensional cylinder.
In this paper, we investigate tropical secant varieties of ordinary linear spaces. These correspond to the log-limit sets of ordinary toric varieties; we show that their interesting parts are combinatorially isomorphic to a certain natural…
In a previous paper we introduced the notion of a {\it real semigroup} (RS) as an axiomatic framework to study diagonal quadratic forms with arbitrary entries over (commutative, unitary) semi-real rings. Two important classes of RSs were…
