We study the topology of toric maps. We show that if $f\colon X\to Y$ is a proper toric morphism, with $X$ simplicial, then the cohomology of every fiber of $f$ is pure and of Hodge-Tate type. When the map is a fibration, we give an…

Let A^2 be the affine plane over a field K of characteristic 0. Birational morphisms of A^2 are mappings A^2 \to A^2 given by polynomial mappings \phi of the polynomial algebra K[x,y] such that for the quotient fields, one has K(\phi(x),…

A simple convex polytope $P$ is \emph{cohomologically rigid} if its combinatorial structure is determined by the cohomology ring of a quasitoric manifold over $P$. Not every $P$ has this property, but some important polytopes such as…

We show that for each fixed non-constant complex polynomial $P$ of the plane there exists a homeomorphism $h$ such that $P\circ h$ is a Lipschitz quotient mapping. This corrects errors in the construction given earlier by Johnson et. al.…

Let $\Phi:V\to V\otimes U$ be an intertwining operator between representations of a simple Lie algebra (quantum group, affine Lie algebra). We define its generalized character to be the following function on the Cartan subalgebra with…

Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra with a modular pair in involution $(\Character,1)$. Let $A$ be a (module) algebra over $H$ equipped with a non-degenerated $\Character$-invariant $1$-trace $\tau$. We show that Connes-Moscovici characteristic map…

Given a type $A$ root system $\Phi$ of rank $n$, we introduce the concept of a signature for each subset $S$ of $\Phi$ consisting of $n+1$ positive roots. For a subset $S$ represented by a tuple $(\beta_1, \ldots, \beta_{n+1})$, the…

If F is a finitely generated free group and \phi is an automorphism of F then the mapping torus of \phi admits a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. This is the third and final paper in a series proving this theorem. The first two were…

In this document, some structured operator approximation theoretical methods for system identification of nearly eventually periodic systems, are presented. Let $\mathbb{C}^{n\times m}$ denote the algebra of $n\times m$ complex matrices.…

Given a root system $\Phi$ of type $A_n$, $B_n$, $C_n$, or $D_n$ in Euclidean space $E$, let $W$ be the associated Weyl group. For a point $p \in E$ not orthogonal to any of the roots in $\Phi$, we consider the $W$-permutohedron $P_W$,…

Suppose $G$ is a simple graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and rank $r$. Let $\chi_G(t)=a_0t^n-a_1t^{n-1}+\cdots +(-1)^ra_rt^{n-r}$ be the chromatic polynomial of $G$. For $q,k\in \Bbb{Z}$ and $0\le k\le q+r+1$, we obtain a sharp two-side…
