An operation on species corresponding to the inner plethysm of their associated cycle index series is constructed. This operation, the inner plethysm of species, is generalized to n-sorted species. Polynomial maps on species are studied and…
The aim of the article is to understand the combinatorics of snake graphs by means of linear algebra. In particular, we apply Kasteleyn's and Temperley--Fisher's ideas about spectral properties of weighted adjacency matrices of planar…
A simplicial cochain complex can be derived from a locally small poset by taking the nerve of the poset viewed as a category. We show that the simplicial cochain complex and a relative Hochschild cochain complex of the incidence algebra of…
The local $h^*$-polynomial is a natural invariant of a lattice polytope appearing in Ehrhart theory and Hodge theory. In this work, we study the question posed in [GKZ94] concerning the classification of lattice simplices with vanishing…
Given a pair of finite posets $A \subseteq P$, the function counting integer-valued order preserving extensions of an order preserving map $\lambda : A\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}$ from $A$ to $P$ is given by a piecewise polynomial in $\lambda$.…
We study generalized Nash equilibrium problems (GNEPs) such that objectives are polynomial functions, and each player's constraints are linear in their own strategy. For such GNEPs, the KKT sets can be represented as unions of simpler sets…
We consider categories of posets with $\mathfrak{C}$-valued structure sheaves for any category $\mathfrak{C}$ and see how they possess poset-indexed lax colimits that are both easy to describe and "weakly equivalent" to their ordinary…
We investigate the Ehrhart polynomial for the class of 0-symmetric convex lattice polytopes in Euclidean $n$-space $\mathbb{R}^n$. It turns out that the roots of the Ehrhart polynomial and Minkowski's successive minima are closely related…
The Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polygon P is completely determined by the pair (b(P),i(P)) where b(P) equals the number of lattice points on the boundary and i(P) equals the number of interior lattice points. All possible pairs…
Panhandle matroids are a specific family of lattice-path matroids corresponding to panhandle-shaped Ferrers diagrams. Their matroid polytopes are the subpolytopes carved from a hypersimplex to form matroid polytopes of paving matroids. It…
Let $\mathcal{P} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be a polytope whose vertices have rational coordinates. By a seminal result of E. Ehrhart, the number of integer lattice points in the $k$th dilate of $\mathcal{P}$ ($k$ a positive integer) is a…
We introduce the sequence of generalized Gon\v{c}arov polynomials, which is a basis for the solutions to the Gon\v{c}arov interpolation problem with respect to a delta operator. Explicitly, a generalized Gon\v{c}arov basis is a sequence…
Inflation of a simplicial complex $K$ is a construction well known in combinatorial topology. It replaces each vertex $i$ of $K$ with a finite number $n_i$ of its copies, and each simplex $\{i_0,\ldots,i_k\}$ with $n_{i_0}n_{i_1}\cdots…
D.Happel and L.Unger defined a partial order on the set of basic tilting modules. We study the poset of basic pre-projective tilting modules over path algebra of infinite type. We give an equivalent condition for that this poset is a…
In this expository article we give an introduction to Ehrhart theory, i.e., the theory of integer points in polyhedra, and take a tour through its applications in enumerative combinatorics. Topics include geometric modeling in…
We discover that tautological intersection numbers on $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g, n}$, the moduli space of stable genus $g$ curves with $n$ marked points, are evaluations of Ehrhart polynomials of partial polytopal complexes. In order to prove…
Applying a classical theorem of Smith, we show that the poset property of being Gorenstein$^*$ over $\mathbb{Z}_2$ is inherited by the subposet of fixed points under an involutive poset automorphism. As an application, we prove that every…
We survey all known examples of finite posets whose order polynomials have product formulas, and we propose the heuristic that these are the same posets with good dynamical behavior. Here the dynamics in question are the actions of…
This article addresses a combinatorial problem with applications to algebraic geometry. To a convex lattice polytope $P$ and each of its integer dilations $kP$ one may associate the barycenter of its lattice points. This sequence of…
We introduce higher Specht polynomials - analogs of Specht polynomials in higher degrees - in two sets of variables $x_1,\ldots,x_n$ and $y_1,\ldots,y_n$ under the diagonal action of the symmetric group $S_n$. This generalizes the classical…
