We study homomorphism polynomials, which are polynomials that enumerate all homomorphisms from a pattern graph $H$ to $n$-vertex graphs. These polynomials have received a lot of attention recently for their crucial role in several new…
Possible forms of obstructed atomic limits in quasi-one-dimensional systems are studied using line group symmetry. This is accomplished by revisiting the standard theory with an emphasis on its group-theoretical background, synthesizing the…
We propose a theory of combinatorially explicit Schubert polynomials which represent the Schubert classes in the Borel presentation of the cohomology ring of orthogonal flag varieties. We use these polynomials to describe the arithmetic…
We prove several completion theorems for equivariant K-theory and cyclic homology of schemes with group action over a field. One of these shows that for an algebraic space over a field acted upon by a linear algebraic group, the derived…
We present some results on reductions and the copolarity of isometric group actions, which we obtained in our thesis. We also describe a resolution construction for isometric actions with respect to a reduction and give examples.
A recent breakthrough in the theory of (type A) Macdonald polynomials is due to Haglund, Haiman and Loehr, who exhibited a combinatorial formula for these polynomials in terms of a pair of statistics on fillings of Young diagrams. Ram and…
Generalised polynomials are maps constructed by applying the floor function, addition, and multiplication to polynomials. Despite superficial similarity, generalised polynomials exhibit many phenomena which are impossible for polynomials.…
Hexagon relations are combinatorial or algebraic realizations of four-dimensional Pachner moves. We introduce some simple set-theoretic hexagon relations and then `quantize' them using what we call `polynomial hexagon cohomologies'. Based…
Recent work by Abramsky and Brandenburger used sheaf theory to give a mathematical formulation of non-locality and contextuality. By adopting this viewpoint, it has been possible to define cohomological obstructions to the existence of…
We introduce new methods for understanding the topology of $\Hom$ complexes (spaces of homomorphisms between two graphs), mostly in the context of group actions on graphs and posets. We view $\Hom(T,-)$ and $\Hom(-,G)$ as functors from…
The study of the topology of polynomial maps originates from classical questions in affine geometry, such as the Jacobian Conjecture, as well as from works of Whitney, Thom, and Mather in the 1950-70s on diffeomorphism types of smooth maps.…
Let $T$ be a torus acting on $\CC^n$ in such a way that, for all $1\leq k\leq n$, the induced action on the grassmannian $G(k,n)$ has only isolated fixed points. This paper proposes a natural, elementary, explicit description of the…
We describe a method of computing equivariant and ordinary intersection cohomology of certain varieties with actions of algebraic tori, in terms of structure of the zero- and one-dimensional orbits. The class of varieties to which our…
A covariant functor from the category of mapping tori to a category of AF-algebras is constructed; the functor takes continuous maps between such manifolds to stable homomorphisms between the corresponding AF-algebras. We use this functor…
Extension problems for polynomial valuations on different cones of convex functions are investigated. It is shown that for the classes of functions under consideration, the extension problem reduces to a simple geometric obstruction on the…
We show that Hopf invariants, defined by evaluation in Harrison cohomology of the commutative cochains of a space, calculate the logarithm map from a fundamental group to its Malcev Lie algebra. They thus present the zeroth Harrison…
In group representations several inductions given by tensoring with appropriate bimodules may be reconstructed via homology of $G$-posets with $G$-equivariant coefficients. For this purpose, we need various local categories of a finite…
Polynomial invariants corresponding to the fundamental representation of the gauge group $SO(N)$ are computed for arbitrary torus knots in the framework of Chern-Simons gauge theory making use of knot operators. As a result, a formula which…
We use generating functions over group rings to count polynomials over finite fields with the first few coefficients prescribed and a factorization pattern prescribed. In particular, we obtain different exact formulas for the number of…
We describe quantizations on monoidal categories of modules over finite groups. They are given by quantizers which are elements of a group algebra. Over the complex numbers we find these explicitly. For modules over S3 and A4 we are given…
