We introduce the \verb|Macaulay2| package \verb|RepHomology| for the computations of representation homology of certain spaces. The main methods implement computing the representation homology of surfaces (with group coefficients, and…
We represent algebraic curves via commuting matrix polynomials. This allows us to show that the Hilbert scheme of cohomologically stable twisted rational curves of degree $d$ in ${\Bbb P}^3\backslash {\Bbb P}^1$ is isomorphic to a…
We report on our results concerning the distribution of the geometric Picard ranks of $K3$ surfaces under reduction modulo various primes. In the situation that $\rk \Pic S_{\overline{K}}$ is even, we introduce a quadratic character, called…
We present a polynomiality property of the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients c_{\lambda\mu}^{\nu}. The coefficients are shown to be given by polynomials in \lambda, \mu and \nu on the cones of the chamber complex of a vector partition…
We study a generalization of a conjecture made by Beauville on the Chow ring of hyper-K\"ahler algebraic varieties. Namely we prove in a number of cases that polynomial cohomological relations involving only CH^1(X) and the Chern classes of…
We present a preconditioned Monte Carlo method for computing high-dimensional multivariate normal and Student-$t$ probabilities arising in spatial statistics. The approach combines a tile-low-rank representation of covariance matrices with…
In the present note we study configurations of codimension 2 flats in projective spaces and classify those with the smallest rate of growth of the initial sequence. Our work extends those of Bocci, Chiantini in P^2 and Janssen in P^3 to…
Some well-known arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay configurations of linear varieties in $\mathbb{P}^r$ as $k$-configurations, partial intersections and star configurations are generalized by introducing tower schemes. Tower schemes are reduced…
Let $K$ be an infinite field and let $m_1,\ldots,m_n$ be a generalized arithmetic sequence of positive integers, i.e., there exist $h, d, m_1 \in\mathbb{Z}^+$ such that $m_i = h m_1 + (i-1)d$ for all $i \in \{2,\ldots,n\}$. We consider the…
We compute the Hilbert series of the space of $n=3$ variable quasi-invariant polynomials in characteristic $2$ and $3$, capturing the dimension of the homogeneous components of the space, and explicitly describe the generators in the…
In this note we explicitly construct an action of the rational Cherednik algebra $H_{1,m/n}(S_n,\mathbb{C}^n)$ corresponding to the permutation representation of $S_n$ on the $\mathbb{C}^{*}$-equivariant homology of parabolic Hilbert…
In 1982, Cameron and Liebler investigated certain "special sets of lines" in PG(3,q), and gave several equivalent characterizations. Due to their interesting geometric and algebraic properties, these "Cameron-Liebler line classes" got much…
Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over the field $K$, and let $I\subset S$ be a graded ideal. It is shown that for $k \gg0$ the postulation number of $I^k$ is bounded by a linear function of $k$, and it is a linear function…
Let X be a hyperkahler manifold deformation equivalent to a Hilbert scheme of n points on a K3 surface. We compute the graded character formula of the generic Mumford-Tate group representation on the cohomology ring of X, and derive a…
We show that the number of parameters for CM-modules of prescribed rank is semi-continuous in families of CM rings of Krull dimension 1. This transfers a result of Knoerrer from the commutative to the not necessarily commutative case. For…
The purpose of this paper is to present a characterization of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay modules in terms of its Hilbert coefficients with respect to distinguished parameter ideals. The formulas involve arithmetic degrees. Among…
A general setting to study a certain type of formulas, expressing characters of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ explicitly in terms of descent sets of combinatorial objects, has been developed by two of the authors. This theory is…
Consider a rational map from a projective space to a product of projective spaces, induced by a collection of linear projections. Motivated by the the theory of limit linear series and Abel-Jacobi maps, we study the basic properties of the…
Some 15 years ago M. Kontsevich and A. Rosenberg [KR] proposed a heuristic principle according to which the family of schemes ${Rep_n(A)}$ parametrizing the finite-dimensional represen- tations of a noncommutative algebra A should be…
Every character on a graded connected Hopf algebra decomposes uniquely as a product of an even character and an odd character (Aguiar, Bergeron, and Sottile, math.CO/0310016). We obtain explicit formulas for the even and odd parts of the…
