For any minor-closed class of matroids over a fixed finite field, we state an exact structural characterization for the sufficiently connected matroids in the class. We also state a number of conjectures that might be approachable using the…
We prove refined generating series formulae for characters of (virtual) cohomology representations of external products of suitable coefficients, e.g., (complexes of) constructible or coherent sheaves, or (complexes of) mixed Hodge modules…
We study combinatorial and algebraic properties of $t$-clique-free complexes, a family of simplicial complexes associated with finite simple graphs that generalize the classical independence complex. For a graph $G$ and an integer $t \ge…
For an oriented matroid M, and given a generic single element extension and a generic single element lifting of M, the main result of [1] provides a bijection between bases of M and certain reorientations of M induced by the…
To study outer actions $\a$ of a group $G$ on a factor $\sM$ of type {\threel}, $0<\la<1$, we study first the cohomology group of a group with the unitary group of an abelian {\vna} as a coefficient group and establish a technique to reduce…
We study Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds with non-contractible periodic orbits. In a variety of settings, we show that the presence of one non-contractible periodic orbit of a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism of a…
We classify the complementary vectors of doubly Cohen-Macaulay complexes. This proves a conjecture of Swartz, negatively answers a question of Athanasiadis and Tzanaki, and gives new bounds on the number of independent sets in a matroid.…
We study a minimal extension of the worm-like chain to describe polypeptides having alpha-helical secondary structure. In this model presence/absence of secondary structure enters as a scalar variable that controls the local chain bending…
In this paper, we give a new and efficient algebraic criterion for the pure as well as non-pure shellability of simplicial complex $\Delta$ over [n]. We also give an algebraic characterization of a leaf in a simplicial complex (defined in…
We define an independence system associated with simple graphs. We prove that the independence system is a matroid for certain families of graphs, including trees, with bases as minimal resolving sets. Consequently, the greedy algorithm on…
The optical activity tensor (OAT) is explicitly derived. It is shown that to evaluate a large number of effects related to optical activity of some atomic/molecular system at arbitrary frequency $\omega$ of the incident light, one needs to…
In this paper, the structural controllability of the systems over F(z) is studied using a new mathematical method-matroids. Firstly, a vector matroid is defined over F(z). Secondly, the full rank conditions of [sI-A|B] are derived in terms…
We study complexity measures on subsets of the boolean hypercube and exhibit connections between algebra (the Hilbert function) and combinatorics (VC theory). These connections yield results in both directions. Our main complexity-theoretic…
Active matter agents consume internal energy or extract energy from the environment for locomotion and force generation. Already rather generic models, such as ensembles of active Brownian particles, exhibit phenomena, which are absent at…
An element $e$ of a $3$-connected matroid $M$ is elastic if ${\rm si}(M/e)$, the simplification of $M/e$, and ${\rm co}(M\backslash e)$, the cosimplification of $M\backslash e$, are both $3$-connected. It was recently shown that if…
Let $\k$ be a global function field in 1-variable over a finite extension of $\Fp$, $p$ prime, $\infty$ a fixed place of $\k$, and $\A$ the ring of functions of $\k$ regular outside of $\infty$. Let $E$ be a Drinfeld module or $T$-module.…
We introduce a construction on a flag complex that, by means of modifying the associated graph, generates a new flag complex whose $h$-factor is the face vector of the original complex. This construction yields a vertex-decomposable, hence…
Many living and non-living complex systems can be modeled and understood as collective systems made of heterogeneous components that self-organize and generate nontrivial morphological structures and behaviors. This chapter presents a brief…
We provide an easily checkable algebraic characterization of positive expansivity for Additive Cellular Automata over a finite abelian group. First of all, an easily checkable characterization of positive expansivity is provided for the non…
Polymatroids are combinatorial abstractions of subspace arrangements in the same way that matroids are combinatorial abstractions of hyperplane arrangements. By introducing augmented Chow rings of polymatroids, modeled after augmented…
