Let S be a basic closed semi-algebraic set in R^n and P the corresponding preordering in R[X_1,...,X_n]. We examine for which polynomials f there exist identities f+\ep q \in P for all \ep>0. These are precisely the elements of the…
We use localization to describe the restriction map from equivariant Chow cohomology to ordinary Chow cohomology for complete toric varieties in terms of piecewise polynomial functions and Minkowski weights. We compute examples showing that…
We study the analytic and topological invariants associated with complex normal surface singularities. Our goal is to provide topological formulae for several discrete analytic invariants whenever the analytic structure is generic (with…
An equivariant Thom isomorphism theorem in operator K-theory is formulated and proven for infinite rank Euclidean vector bundles over finite dimensional Riemannian manifolds. The main ingredient in the argument is the construction of a…
The polytopic definition introduced recently describing the topology of manifolds is used to formulate a generating function pertinent to its topological properties. In particular, a polynomial in terms of one variable and a tori underlying…
It is well-known that the Thom polynomial in Stiefel--Whitney classes expressing the cohomology class dual to the locus of the cusp singularity for codimension-$k$ maps and that of the corank-$2$ singularity for codimension-$(k-1)$ maps…
Bilinear maps and their classifying tensor products are well-known in the theory of linear algebra, and their generalization to algebras of commutative monads is a classical result of monad theory. Motivated by constructions needed in…
The class of special generic maps contains Morse functions with exactly two singular points, characterizing spheres topologically which are not $4$-dimensional and the $4$-dimensional unit sphere. This class is for higher dimensional…
We consider manifolds whose transition maps are restrictions of polynomial mappings $\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^n$, and use them to give an equivalent statement of the Jacobian conjecture over the real field.
We establish the Thom isomorphism in twisted K-theory for any real vector bundle and develop the push-forward map in twisted K-theory for any differentiable proper map $f: X\to Y$ (not necessarily K-oriented). The push-forward map…
We bound the complexity of the fibers of the generic linear projection of a smooth variety in terms of a new family of invariants. These invariants are closely related to ideas of John Mather, and we give a simple proof of his bound on the…
We study smooth maps between smooth manifolds with only fold points as their singularities, and clarify the obstructions to the existence of such a map in a given homotopy class for certain dimensions. The obstructions are described in…
We present new real algebraic maps of non-positive codimensions with prescribed images whose boundaries consist of explicit non-singular real algebraic hypersurfaces satisfying so-called "transversality" as follows. Explicit information on…
The adjunction inequality is a key tool for bounding the genus of smoothly embedded surfaces in 4-manifolds. Using gauge-theoretic invariants, many versions of this inequality have been established for both closed surfaces and surfaces with…
We study differential forms on an algebraic compactification of a moduli space of metric graphs. Canonical examples of such forms are obtained by pulling back invariant differentials along a tropical Torelli map. The invariant differential…
We use the equivariant cohomology ring of the permutohedral variety to study matroids and their invariants. Investigating the pushforward of matroid Chern classes defined by A. Berget, C. Eur, H. Spink and D. Tseng to the product space…
We introduce constrained polynomial zonotopes, a novel non-convex set representation that is closed under linear map, Minkowski sum, Cartesian product, convex hull, intersection, union, and quadratic as well as higher-order maps. We show…
A class of parametric functions formed by alternating compositions of multivariate polynomials and rectification style monomial maps is studied (the layer-wise exponents are treated as fixed hyperparameters and are not optimized). For this…
We introduce the restricted local volume of a relatively very ample invertible sheaf as an invariant of equisingularity by determining its change across families. We apply this result to give numerical control of Whitney-Thom (differential)…
In this article we analyze the global diffeomorphism property of polynomial maps $F:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^n$ by studying the properties of the Newton polytopes at infinity corresponding to the sum of squares polynomials…
