We consider a $q$-analogue of abstract simplicial complexes, called $q$-complexes, and discuss the notion of shellability for such complexes. It is shown that $q$-complexes formed by independent subspaces of a $q$-matroid are shellable.…
Quotients $Y=X/conj$ of complex surfaces by anti-holomorphic involutions $conj\: X\to X$ tend to be completely decomposable when they are simply connected, i.e., split into connected sums, $n CP^2\#m\barCP2$, if $w_2(Y)\ne0$, or into…
For each braid $\beta\in Br_n$ we construct a $2$-periodic complex $\mathbb{S}_\beta$ of quasi-coherent $\mathbb{C}^*\times \mathbb{C}^*$-equivariant sheaves on the non-commutative nested Hilbert scheme $Hilb_{1,n}^{free}$. We show that the…
We use the recently proposed generalised on-shell representation for scattering amplitudes and a consistency test to explore the space of tree-level consistent couplings in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The extension of the…
In this paper, we present a new connection between representation theory of noncommutative hypersurfaces and combinatorics. Let $S$ be a graded ($\pm 1$)-skew polynomial algebra in $n$ variables of degree $1$ and $f =x_1^2 + \cdots +x_n^2…
Schur-Weyl duality is a fundamental framework in combinatorial representation theory. It intimately relates the irreducible representations of a group to the irreducible representations of its centralizer algebra. We investigate the analog…
The Slodowy slice is a flat Poisson deformation of its nilpotent part, and it was demonstrated by Lehn-Namikawa-Sorger that there is an interesting infinite family of nilpotent orbits in symplectic Lie algebras for which the slice is not…
Billey-Postnikov (BP) decompositions govern when Schubert varieties $X(w)$ decompose as bundles of smaller Schubert varieties. We further develop the theory of BP decompositions and show that, in finite type, they can be recognized by…
For each integer $n\ge 1$, after fixing a proper complexity function on the braid group $\B_{2n}$, we use the Dehornoy order to define a strict total order on the set \[ \mathcal P_{2n}=H_{2n}\backslash \B_{2n}/H_{2n} \] of $2n$--plat…
We give a simple geometrical picture of the basic structures of the covariant $Sp(2)$ symmetric quantization formalism -- triplectic quantization -- recently suggested by Batalin, Marnelius and Semikhatov. In particular, we show that the…
In two parts, we present a bigness criterion for the cotangent bundle of resolutions of orbifold surfaces of general type. As a corollary, we obtain the \textit{canonical model singularities} (CMS) criterion that can be applied to determine…
We introduce a chain complex associated to a Liouville domain $(\overline{W}, d\lambda)$ whose boundary $Y$ admits a Boothby--Wang contact form (i.e. is a prequantization space). The differential counts cascades of Floer solutions in the…
The satisfiability problem for multilevel syllogistic extended with the Cartesian product operator (MLSC) is a long-standing open problem in computable set theory. For long, it was not excluded that such a problem were undecidable, due to…
When $\lambda$ is a partition, the specialized non-symmetric Macdonald polynomial $E_{\lambda}(x;q;0)$ is symmetric and related to a modified Hall--Littlewood polynomial. We show that whenever all parts of the integer partition $\lambda$ is…
We extend the definition of chordal from graphs to clutters. The resulting family generalizes both chordal graphs and matroids, and obeys many of the same algebraic and geometric properties. Specifically, the independence complex of a…
We show that an 'almost strong Lefschetz' property holds for the barycentric subdivision of a shellable complex. From this we conclude that for the barycentric subdivision of a Cohen-Macaulay complex, the $h$-vector is unimodal, peaks in…
The augmented Bergman complex of a matroid is a simplicial complex introduced recently in work of Braden, Huh, Matherne, Proudfoot and Wang. It may be viewed as a hybrid of two well-studied pure shellable simplicial complexes associated to…
We consider the self-dual Chern-Simons-Schr\"odinger equation (CSS) under equivariant symmetry, which is a $L^{2}$-critical equation. It is known that (CSS) admits solitons and finite-time blow-up solutions. In this paper, we show soliton…
We show that $w\in W$ is boolean if and only if it avoids a set of Billey-Postnikov patterns, which we describe explicitly. Our proof is based on an analysis of inversion sets, and it is in large part type-uniform. We also introduce the…
We construct a hierarchy of integrable systems whose Poisson structure corresponds to the BMS$_{3}$ algebra, and then discuss its description in terms of the Riemannian geometry of locally flat spacetimes in three dimensions. The analysis…
