In these (not-completed) notes, we study the Hartogs extension phenomenon for holomorphic sections of holomorphic vector bundles over complex analytic varieties. Namely, we study properties of the Hartogs extension phenomenon with respect…

We verify that Kelly's constructions of the internal Hom for enriched categories extends naturally to lax functors taking their values in a symmetric monoidal category. Our motivation is to set up a `calculus on lax functors' that will host…

The growth-rate function for a minor-closed class $\mathcal{M}$ of matroids is the function $h$ where, for each non-negative integer $r$, $h(r)$ is the maximum number of elements of a simple matroid in $\mathcal{M}$ with rank at most $r$.…

For a connected reductive group $G$ over a finite field, we define partial Hasse invariants on the stack of $G$-zip flags. We obtain similar sections on the flag space of Shimura varieties of Hodge-type. They are mod $p$ automorphic forms…

There are natural polynomial invariants of polytopes and lattice polytopes coming from enumerative combinatorics and Ehrhart theory, namely the $h$- and $h^*$-polynomials, respectively. In this paper, we study their generalization to…

Let $\mathbb{K}[G]$ be the edge ring of a finite simple graph $G$. Investigating properties of the $h$-vector of $\mathbb{K}[G]$ is of great interest in combinatorial commutative algebra. However, there are few families of graphs for which…

We prove that the mapping stack Map(Y,X) of topological stacks X and Y is again a topological stack if Y admits a compact groupoid presentation. If Y admits a locally compact groupoid presentation, we show that Map(Y,X) is a paratopological…

We provide a formula for the Ehrhart polynomial of the connected matroid of size $n$ and rank $k$ with the least number of bases, also known as a minimal matroid. We prove that their polytopes are Ehrhart positive and $h^*$-real-rooted (and…

Let $R=\mathbb K[x,y,z]$ be a standard graded polynomial ring where $\mathbb K$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $M = \oplus_j M_j$ be a finite length graded $R$-module. We say that $M$ has the Weak Lefschetz…

Weak unit disk contact graphs are graphs that admit representing nodes as a collection of internally disjoint unit disks whose boundaries touch if there is an edge between the corresponding nodes. In this work we focus on graphs without…

Let M be an invariant subvariety in the moduli space of translation surfaces. We contribute to the study of the dynamical properties of the horocycle flow on M. In the context of dynamics on the moduli space of translation surfaces, we…

Gradient vector fields are fundamental objects from both theoretical and practical perspectives, since various phenomena can be modeled within this framework. The ``moduli space'' of such vector fields provides the foundation for describing…

A unified matrix-vector representation is developed of such solution concepts as the core, the uncovered, the uncaptured, the minimal weakly stable, the minimal undominated, the minimal dominant and the untrapped sets. We also propose…

Constructions of spectra from symmetric monoidal categories are typically functorial with respect to strict structure-preserving maps, but often the maps of interest are merely lax monoidal. We describe conditions under which one can…

A tope committee K* for a simple oriented matroid M is a subset of its maximal covectors such that every positive halfspace of M contains more than half of the covectors from K*. The structures of the family of all committees for M, and of…

We show that the linear coefficient of the Ehrhart polynomial of a matroid base polytope evaluated at $t-1$ is equal to, up to normalization, the $\beta$-invariant of the matroid. This yields a lattice-point counting formula for the…

A lattice polytope is called spanning if its lattice points affinely span the ambient lattice. We show as a corollary to a general result in the Ehrhart theory of lattice polytopes that the $h^*$-vector of a spanning lattice polytope has no…

In this note we prove NP-hardness of the following problem: Given a set of matrices, is there a convex combination of those that is a nonsingular M-matrix? Via known characterizations of M-matrices, our result establishes NP-hardness of…

Rough sets are efficient for data pre-processing in data mining. As a generalization of the linear independence in vector spaces, matroids provide well-established platforms for greedy algorithms. In this paper, we apply rough sets to…

This paper provides some evidence for conjectural relations between extensions of (right) weak order on Coxeter groups, closure operators on root systems, and Bruhat order. The conjecture focused upon here refines an earlier question as to…
