Let $H$ be a nonabelian finite simple group. Huppert's conjecture asserts that if $G$ is a finite group with the same set of complex character degrees as $H$, then $G\cong H\times A$ for some abelian group $A$. Over the past two decades,…

Given a pivotal module category over a spherical fusion category, we introduce the encircling module, a module over the fusion algebra defined using the pivotal structure, and prove that it is isomorphic to the NIM-rep as a fusion algebra…

We present some new and recent algorithmic results concerning polynomial system solving over various rings. In particular, we present some of the best recent bounds on: (a) the complexity of calculating the complex dimension of an algebraic…

We investigate the Hopf algebra structure in string worldsheet theory and give a unified formulation of the quantization of string and the space-time symmetry. We reformulate the path integral quantization of string as a Drinfeld twist at…

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the Hilbert functions and the associated properties of the graded modules. To attain this, we construct the graded modules from the sets of points in projective space, $\mathbb{P}_k^n$…

We study the chromatic polynomials (= zero-temperature antiferromagnetic Potts-model partition functions) P_G(q) for m \times n rectangular subsets of the square lattice, with m \le 8 (free or periodic transverse boundary conditions) and n…

Hilbert's Nullstellensatz is a fundamental result in algebraic geometry that gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite collection of multivariate polynomials to have a common zero in an algebraically closed field. Associated…

G. Walker and R. Wood proved that in degree $2^n-1-n$, the space of indecomposable elements of $\Bbb F_2[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, considered as a module over the mod 2 Steenrod algebra, is isomorphic to the Steinberg representation of $GL_n(\Bbb…

We establish the existence of liftings into discrete subspaces of $\mathbf{H}(\mathrm{div})$ of piecewise polynomial data on locally refined simplicial partitions of polygonal/polyhedral domains. Our liftings are robust with respect to the…

A conjecture of Hopkins (2018) posits that for certain high-dimensional hypothesis testing problems, no polynomial-time algorithm can outperform so-called "simple statistics", which are low-degree polynomials in the data. This conjecture…

The functional decomposition of polynomials has been a topic of great interest and importance in pure and computer algebra and their applications. The structure of compositions of (suitably normalized) polynomials f=g(h) over finite fields…

We review the Hodge theory of some classic examples from mirror symmetry, with an emphasis on what is intrinsic to the A-model, and on interesting open questions and problems. In particular, we illustrate the construction of a quantum…

We study systems of polynomial equations in several classes of finitely generated rings and algebras. For each ring $R$ (or algebra) in one of these classes we obtain an interpretation by systems of equations of a ring of integers $O$ of a…

The problem of convergence of the joint moments, which depend on two parameters $s$ and $h$, of the characteristic polynomial of a random Haar-distributed unitary matrix and its derivative, as the matrix size goes to infinity, has been…

We introduce a procedure based on computational algebraic geometry to determine whether two algebras are isomorphic. We then apply it to show that if $R$ is a commutative unital ring in which $2$ is not invertible, $G$ is a group of order…

We study two polynomial counting questions in arithmetic statistics via a combination of Fourier analytic and arithmetic methods. First, we obtain new quantitative forms of Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem for degree $n$ polynomials $f$…

Given a trivially graded polynomial ring $A=K[a_1,\dots,a_m]$ over a field $K$ and a positively graded polynomial ring $P=A[x_1,\dots,x_k]$, we study graded rings $R=P/I$, where $I$ is a homogeneous ideal in $P$ such that $I\cap A = \{0\}$.…

The Schwartz-Zippel Lemma states that if a low-degree multivariate polynomial with coefficients in a field is not zero everywhere in the field, then it has few roots on every finite subcube of the field. This fundamental fact about…

Stirling numbers, which count partitions of a set and permutations in the symmetric group, have found extensive application in combinatorics, geometry, and algebra. We study analogues and q-analogues of these numbers corresponding to the…

Given an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero, we study the incidence relation between points and irreducible projective curves, or more precisely the poset of irreducible proper subvarieties of $\mathbb P^2(K)$. Answering…
