We prove a formula for the degrees of Ikeda and Naruse's $P$-Grothendieck polynomials using combinatorics of shifted tableaux. We show this formula can be used in conjunction with results of Hamaker, Marberg, and Pawlowski to obtain an…

Postnikov gave a combinatorial description of the cells in a totally-nonnegative Grassmannian. These cells correspond to a special class of matroids called positroid. We prove his conjecture that a positroid is exactly an intersection of…

In this paper we study variations of the Hopf theorem concerning continuous maps $f$ of a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ to $\mathbb{R}^n$. We investigate the case when $M$ is a closed convex $n$-dimensional surface and…

We prove that with high probability, a uniform sample of $n$ points in a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be rounded to points on a grid of step size proportional to $1/n^{d+1+\epsilon}$ without changing the underlying chirotope…

We introduce a notion of stable spherical variety which includes the spherical varieties under a reductive group $G$ and their flat equivariant degenerations. Given any projective space $\bP$ where $G$ acts linearly, we construct a moduli…

Normal form theory is developed deeply for planar smooth systems but has few results for piecewise-smooth systems because difficulties arise from continuity of the near-identity transformation, which is constructed piecewise. In this paper,…

We introduce a method to determine if n-dimensional smooth subvarieties of an ambient space of dimension at most 2n − 2 inherit the Picard group from the ambient space (as it happens when the ambient space is a projective space,…

A matroid of rank $r$ on $n$ elements is a positroid if it has a representation by an $r$ by $n$ matrix over $\mathbb{R}$, each $r$ by $r$ submatrix of which has nonnegative determinant. Earlier characterizations of connected positroids and…

We study the stability of singular points for smooth Poisson structures as well as general Lie algebroids. We give sufficient conditions for stability lying on the first (not necessarily linear) approximation of the given Poisson structure…

We study the geometry of equicharacteristic partial affine flag varieties associated to tamely ramified groups $G$ in characteristics $p>0$ dividing the order of the fundamental group $\pi_1(G_{\text{der}})$. We obtain that most Schubert…

We prove that, for fixed n there exist only finitely many embeddings of Q-factorial toric varieties X into P^n that are induced by a complete linear system. The proof is based on a combinatorial result that for fixed nonnegative integers d…

We construct a complex of toric varieties we call the quasisymmetric Grassmannian inside the Grassmannian of $r$-planes in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Each irreducible component is a positroid variety and an $S_n$ translate of a toric Richardson…

A toric variety is constructed from a lattice polytope. It is common in algebraic combinatorics to carry this way a notion of an algebraic property from the variety to the polytope. From the combinatorial point of view, one of the most…

We study certain types of piecewise smooth Lagrangian fibrations of smooth symplectic manifolds, which we call stitched Lagrangian fibrations. We extend the classical theory of action-angle coordinates to these fibrations by encoding the…

Let G be a semi-simple algebraic group over ${\mathbb C}$, B a Borel subgroup of G and T a maximal torus in B. A beautiful unpublished result of Dale Peterson says that if G is simply laced, then every rationally smooth point of a Schubert…

Let $X,Y$ be algebraic varieties defined over $\Bbb R$. Assume $Y$ is smooth and $X$ is Gorenstein. Suppose $\varphi:X\to Y$ is a flat $\Bbb R$-morphism such that all the fibers have rational singularities. We show that the pushforward of…

We give new characterizations for the class of uniformly dense matroids and study applications of these characterizations to graphic and real representable matroids. We show that a matroid is uniformly dense if and only if its base polytope…

We study two-step flag positroids $(P_1, P_2)$, where $P_1$ is a quotient of $P_{2}$. We provide a complete characterization of all two-step flag positroids that contain a uniform matroid, extending and completing a partial result by…

We introduce and study different compactifications of the moduli space of $n$ distinct weighted labeled points in a flag of affine spaces. We construct these spaces via the weighted and generalized Fulton-MacPherson compactifications of…

Let $\Pi$ be the fundamental group of a smooth variety X over $F_p$. Given a non-Archimedean place $\lambda$ of the field of algebraic numbers which is prime to p, consider the $\lambda$-adic pro-semisimple completion of $\Pi$ as an object…
