Sheaf cohomology or, more generally, higher direct images of coherent sheaves along proper morphisms are central to modern algebraic geometry. However, the computation of these objects is a non-trivial and expensive task which easily…
Over a smooth projective toric variety we study toric sheaves, that is, reflexive sheaves equivariant with respect to the acting torus, from a polyhedral point of view. One application is the explicit construction of the torus invariant…
\v{C}ech complexes reveal valuable topological information about point sets at a certain scale in arbitrary dimensions, but the sheer size of these complexes limits their practical impact. While recent work introduced approximation…
In this paper, we present an algorithm that computes the generalized \v{C}ech complex for a finite set of disks where each may have a different radius in 2D space. An extension of this algorithm is also proposed for a set of balls in 3D…
\v{C}ech complexes are useful simplicial complexes for computing and analyzing topological features of data that lies in Euclidean space. Unfortunately, computing these complexes becomes prohibitively expensive for large-sized data sets…
We study the Hodge filtration of the intersection cohomology Hodge module for toric varieties. More precisely, we study the cohomology sheaves of the graded de Rham complex of the intersection cohomology Hodge module and give a precise…
The higher direct image complex of a coherent sheaf (or finite complex of coherent sheaves) under a projective morphism is a fundamental construction that can be defined via a Cech complex or an injective resolution, both inherently…
Sheaves and sheaf cohomology are powerful tools in computational topology, greatly generalizing persistent homology. We develop an algorithm for simplifying the computation of cellular sheaf cohomology via (discrete) Morse-theoretic…
In this paper, we give a combinatorial formula for the \v{C}ech cocycles representing the power sums of the Chern roots of a holomorphic vector bundle over a complex manifold. By an observation motivation by author's previous paper, we also…
This article is based on my lecture notes from summer schools at the Universities of Utah (June 2007) and Warwick (September 2007). We provide an introduction to explicit methods in the study of moduli spaces of quiver representations and…
We improve a previously known theoretic method to compute A-resultants for suitable monomial support sets due to Weyman to the extent that it becomes computationally feasible and effective. This is achieved by introducing a new algorithm…
The \v{C}ech complex is one of the most widely used tools in applied algebraic topology. Unfortunately, due to the inclusive nature of the \v{C}ech filtration, the number of simplices grows exponentially in the number of input points. A…
We present an algorithm for computing line bundle valued cohomology classes over toric varieties. This is the basic starting point for computing massless modes in both heterotic and Type IIB/F-theory compactifications, where the manifolds…
We introduce an original notion of extra-fine sheaf on a topological space, and a variant (hyper-extra-fine) for which \v{C}ech cohomology in strictly positive degree vanishes. We provide a characterization of such sheaves when the…
We explain a method for calculating the cohomology of line bundles on a toric variety in terms of the cohomology of certain constructible sheaves on the polytope. We show its effective use by means of some examples.
In this review, novel non-standard techniques for the computation of cohomology classes on toric varieties are summarized. After an introduction of the basic definitions and properties of toric geometry, we discuss a specific computational…
Given a Galois \'etale map of varieties $\pi:Y\to X$ and an $\ell$-adic sheaf or derived category object $P\in D^b_c(Y,{\mathbb Q}_\ell)$, we study two cohomological operations: the tensor direct image and (in the case of perverse sheaves)…
This paper gives an explicit computation of the category of constructible sheaves on a toric variety (with respect to the stratification by torus orbits). Over the complex numbers, this simplifies a description due to Braden and Lunts. The…
The purpose of this is the study of certain coherent sheaves of meromorphic forms on reduced complex space and particularly their behavior with respect to pull back and higher direct image.
We study the local cohomology modules H^i_B(R) for a reduced monomial ideal B in a polynomial ring R=k[X_1,...,X_n]. We consider a grading on R which is coarser than the Z^n-grading such that each component of H^i_B(R) is finite dimensional…
