We propose an abstract definition of convex spaces as sets where one can take convex combinations in a consistent way. A priori, a convex space is an algebra over a finitary version of the Giry monad. We identify the corresponding Lawvere…

We study the polyhedral convex hull structure of a mixed-integer set which arises in a class of cardinality-constrained concave submodular minimization problems. This class of problems has an objective function in the form of $f(a^\top x)$,…

Let G be a locally compact abelian group with compact open subgroup H. The best known example of such a group is G=Q_p, the field of p-adic rational numbers (as a group under addition), which has compact open subgroup H=Z_p, the ring of…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group and H a closed subgroup of G. An affine embedding of the homogeneous space G/H is an affine G-variety with an open G-orbit isomorphic to G/H. We start with some basic properties of affine embeddings and…

The goal of this paper is to study convex lattice sets by the discrete Legendre transform. The definition of the polar of convex lattice sets in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ is provided. It is worth mentioning that the polar of convex lattice sets have…

For a finite abelian subgroup $G\subset SL_n(\mathbb{C})$, we study whether a given crepant resolution $X$ of the quotient variety $\mathbb{C}^n/G$ is obtained as a moduli space of $G$-constellations. In particular we show that, if $X$…

We study the set of square-free parts of volume polynomials associated with four planar lattice polytopes. This is motivated by the problem of describing possible pairwise intersection numbers of four curves in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^2$ with…

In this paper the notion of modular cone metric space is introduced and some properties of such spaces are investigated. Also we define convex modular cone metric which takes values in CR(Y) where Y is a compact Hausdorff space. Then a…

This is a survey of recent progress in several areas of combinatorial algebra. We consider combinatorial problems about free groups, polynomial algebras, free associative and Lie algebras. Our main idea is to study automorphisms and, more…

We study a combinatorial notion where given a set of lattice points one takes the set of all sums of subsets of a fixed size, and we ask if the given set comes from a convex lattice polytope whether the resulting set also comes from a…

It is known that the complex Grassmannian of $k$-dimensional subspaces can be identified with the set of projection matrices of rank $k$. It is also classically known that the convex hull of this set is the set of Hermitian matrices with…

We consider a model that arises in integer programming, and show that all irredundant inequalities are obtained from maximal lattice-free convex sets in an affine subspace. We also show that these sets are polyhedra. The latter result…

Motivated by questions from Ehrhart theory, we present new results on discrete equidecomposability. Two rational polygons $P$ and $Q$ are said to be discretely equidecomposable if there exists a piecewise affine-unimodular bijection…

Let n be a positive integer and c an n-tuple of natural numbers. A convex set in Euclidean n-space given by a family of linear relations in the elements of c and depending on their natural order is defined. The extremal elements of this…

The discrete polymatroid is a multiset analogue of the matroid. Based on the polyhedral theory on integral polymatroids developed in late 1960's and in early 1970's, in the present paper the combinatorics and algebra on discrete…

Let X be a smooth curve over a finite field of characteristic p, let E be a number field, and consider an E-compatible system of lisse sheaves on the curve X. For each place lambda of E not lying over p, the lambda-component of the system…

Let X be a projective irreducible smooth algebraic variety. A "fine moduli space" of sheaves on X is a family F of coherent sheaves on X parametrized by an integral variety M such that : F is flat on M; for all distinct points x, y of M the…

We prove that in the Hilbert space every uniformly convex set with modulus of convexity of the second order at zero is an intersection of closed balls of fixed radius. We also obtain an estimate of this radius.

We show that the discrete anomaly constraints governing popular non-Abelian symmetries of use in (e.g.) flavoured, supersymmetric, and dark matter model building typically subdivide into two classes differentiated by the simple restrictions…

Let G be a discrete group. We give methods to compute for a generalized (co-)homology theory its values on the Borel construction (EG x X)/G of a proper G-CW-complex X satisfying certain finiteness conditions. In particular we give formulas…
