This is a full study of the dynamics of polynomial planar vector fields whose linear part is a multiple of the identity and whose nonlinear part is a homogeneous polynomial of arbitrary degree $n>1$. It extends previous work by other…

Over a decade ago De Loera, Haws and K\"oppe conjectured that Ehrhart polynomials of matroid polytopes have only positive coefficients and that the coefficients of the corresponding $h^*$-polynomials form a unimodal sequence. The first of…

A multivariate polynomial $p(x)=p(x_1,...,x_n)$ is sos-convex if its Hessian $H(x)$ can be factored as $H(x)= M^T(x) M(x)$ with a possibly nonsquare polynomial matrix $M(x)$. It is easy to see that sos-convexity is a sufficient condition…

We study the structures of ordinary simple Hurwitz numbers and monotone Hurwitz numbers with varying genus. More precisely, we prove that when the ramification type is fixed and the genus is treated as a variable, the connected monotone…

If a real polynomial $f(x)=p(x^2)+xq(x^2)$ is Hurwitz stable (every root if $f$ lies in the open left half-plane), then the Hermite-Biehler Theorem says that the polynomials $p(-x^2)$ and $q(-x^2)$ have interlacing real roots. We extend…

We consider the homogeneous components U_r of the map on R = k[x,y,z]/(x^A, y^B, z^C) that multiplies by x + y + z. We prove a relationship between the Smith normal forms of submatrices of an arbitrary Toeplitz matrix using Schur…

We give a criterion which characterizes a homogeneous real multi-variate polynomial to have the property that all sufficiently large powers of the polynomial (as well as their products with any given positive homogeneous polynomial) have…

We generalize some previous results on random polynomials in several complex variables. A standard setting is to consider random polynomials $H_n(z):=\sum_{j=1}^{m_n} a_jp_j(z)$ that are linear combinations of basis polynomials $\{p_j\}$…

In a recent paper, Dimca and Nemethi pose the problem of finding a homogeneous polynomial f such that the homology of the complement of the hypersurface defined by f is torsion-free, but the homology of the Milnor fiber of f has torsion. We…

In this paper we investigate the Ehrhart Theory of the independence matroid polytope of uniform matroids. It is proved that these polytopes have an Ehrhart polynomial with positive coefficients. To do that, we prove that indeed all…

Generalizations of the Hermite polynomials to many variables and/or to the complex domain have been located in mathematical and physical literature for some decades. Polynomials traditionally called complex Hermite ones are mostly…

Polynomials known as Multiple Orthogonal Polynomials in a single variable are polynomials that satisfy orthogonality conditions concerning multiple measures and play a significant role in several applications such as Hermite-Pad\'e…

We define and study "semimatroids", a class of objects which abstracts the dependence properties of an affine hyperplane arrangement. We show that geometric semilattices are precisely the posets of flats of semimatroids. We define and…

We introduce the Z-polynomial of a matroid, which we define in terms of the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial. We then exploit a symmetry of the Z-polynomial to derive a new recursion for Kazhdan-Lusztig coefficients. We solve this recursion,…

Let R be a ring of polynomials in a finite number of variables over a perfect field k of characteristic p>0 and let F:R\to R be the Frobenius map of R, i.e. F(r)=r^p. We explicitly describe an R-module isomorphism Hom_R(F_*(M),N)\cong…

For a given lattice polytope, two fundamental problems within the field of Ehrhart theory are to (1) determine if its (Ehrhart) $h^\ast$-polynomial is unimodal and (2) to determine if its Ehrhart polynomial has only positive coefficients.…

Let $H$ be a pointed Hopf algebra with abelian coradical. Let $A\supseteq B$ be left (or right) coideal subalgebras of $H$ that contain the coradical of $H$. We show that $A$ has a PBW basis over $B$, provided that $H$ satisfies certain…

Motivated by the $Z$-polynomials of matroids, Ferroni, Matherne, Stevens, and Vecchi introduced the inverse $Z$-polynomial of a matroid. In this paper, we prove several fundamental properties of the inverse $Z$-polynomial, including…

Let $\mathcal B=\mathcal B_{k,n,p}$ be a random collection of $k$-subsets of $[n]$ where each possible set is present independently with probability $p$. Let $\cal E_{\mathcal B}$ be the event that $\mathcal B$ defines the set of bases of a…

We study the problem of whether $\mathcal{P}_w(^nE)$, the space of $n$-homogeneous polynomials which are weakly continuous on bounded sets, is an $M$-ideal in the space of continuous $n$-homogeneous polynomials $\mathcal{P}(^nE)$. We obtain…
