The goal of the paper is two-fold. At first, we attempt to give a survey of some recent applications of symmetric polynomials and divided differences to intersection theory. We discuss: polynomials universally supported on degeneracy loci;…

In this paper, we introduce a family of symmetric polynomials by specializing the factorial Schur polynomials. These polynomials represent the weighted Schubert classes of the cohomology of the weighted Grassmannian introduced by…

Following a recent work in which it is shown that a spacetime admitting Lie-group actions may be disjointly decomposed into a a closed subset with no interior plus a dense finite union of open sets in each of which the character and…

The (signed) projective cubes, as a special class of graphs closely related to the hypercubes, are on the crossroad of geometry, algebra, discrete mathematics and linear algebra. Defined as Cayley graphs on binary groups, they represent…

We consider linear systems of recurrence equations whose coefficients are given in terms of indefinite nested sums and products covering, e.g., the harmonic numbers, hypergeometric products, $q$-hypergeometric products or their mixed…

We generalize Fulton's Residual Intersection Theorem for the Segre class and express the Segre classes of schemes with regularly embedded components in terms of the Chern classes of the normal bundles to the components and their…

We detail the enumeration of all two-intersection sets of the five-dimensional projective space over the field of order 3 that are invariant under an element of order 7, which include the examples of Hill (1973) and Gulliver (1996). Up to…

We provide a generalization of the algorithm of Eklund-Jost-Peterson for computing Segre classes of closed subschemes of projective k-space. The algorithm is here generalized to computing the Segre classes of closed subschemes of smooth…

Tevelev has given a remarkable explicit formula for the discriminant of a complex simple Lie algebra, which can be defined as the equation of the dual hypersurface of the minimal nilpotent orbit, or of the so-called adjoint variety. In this…

We study schemes of tensor eigenvectors from an algebraic and geometric viewpoint. We characterize determinantal defining equations of such eigenschemes via linear equations in their coefficients, both in the general and in the symmetric…

There is an explicit formula expressing the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a hypersurface in a nonsingular variety (in characteristic $0$) in terms of the Segre class of its jacobian subscheme; this has been known for a number of years.…

Given a flat, projective morphism $Y \to T$ from an equidimensional scheme to a nonsingular curve and a subscheme $Z$ of $Y$, we give conditions under which specialization of the Segre class $s(N_{Z}Y)$ of the normal cone of $Z$ in $Y$…

Let $\Omega$ be the {\em superspace ring} of polynomial-valued differential forms on affine $n$-space. The natural action of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ on $n$-space induces an action of $\mathfrak{S}_n$ on $\Omega$. The {\em…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle over a smooth curve $C$, and $S = \mathbb{P} E$ the associated projective bundle. We describe the inflectional loci of certain projective models $\psi \colon S \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ in terms of Quot…

We determine set-theoretic defining equations for the variety of hypersurfaces of degree d in an N-dimensional complex vector space that have dual variety of dimension at most k. We apply these equations to the Mulmuley-Sohoni variety, the…

Considerations based on the known relation between different characteristic classes for singular hypersufaces suggest that a form of the `inclusion-exclusion' principle may hold for Segre classes. We formulate and prove such a principle for…

In many cases (e.g. for many Segre or Segre embeddings of multiprojective spaces) we prove that a hypersurface of the $b$-secant variety of $X\subset \mathbb {P}^r$ has $X$-rank $>b$. We prove it proving that the $X$-rank of a general point…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a division ring. In this paper, we extent some of the main well-known results about the resultant of two univariate polynomials to the more general context of an Ore extension $\mathbb{F}[x;\sigma,\delta]$. Finally, some…

We determine the Poincar\'e polynomial of the determinantal variety $\{\det = 0\}$ in the projective space associated with the monoid of $n\times n$ matrices.

A reciprocal linear space is the image of a linear space under coordinate-wise inversion. These fundamental varieties describe the analytic centers of hyperplane arrangements and appear as part of the defining equations of the central path…
