We investigate categorical and amalgamation properties of the functor Idc assigning to every partially ordered abelian group G its semilattice of compact ideals Idc G. Our main result is the following. Theorem 1. Every diagram of finite…
It is proved that fundamental groups of boolean representable simplicial complexes are free and the rank is determined by the number and nature of the connected components of their graph of flats for dimension $\geq 2$. In the case of…
The Helton-Nie Conjecture (HNC) is the proposition that every convex semialgebraic set is a spectrahedral shadow. Here we prove that HNC is equivalent to another propo- sition related to quadratically constrained quadratic programming.…
For an $(n\times N)$-matrix $A$ of rank $n$ with integer entries, Gelfand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky introduce a system of differential equations, called the $A$-hypergeometric system. We define the stable GKZ hypergeometric $\mathcal…
In the past two decades, extensive research has been conducted on the (co)homology of various models of random simplicial complexes. So far, it has always been examined merely as a list of groups. This paper expands upon this by describing…
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a rank one local system with field coefficient on the complement $M(\mathcal{A})$ of an essential complex hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ in $\mathbb{C}^\ell$. Dimca-Papadima and Randell independently showed that…
We study cohomology with coefficients in a rank one local system on the complement of an arrangement of hyperplanes $\A$. The cohomology plays an important role for the theory of generalized hypergeometric functions. We combine several…
Let G:=SO(n,1)^\circ and \Gamma be a geometrically finite Zariski dense subgroup with critical exponent delta bigger than (n-1)/2. Under a spectral gap hypothesis on L^2(\Gamma \ G), which is always satisfied for delta>(n-1)/2 for n=2,3 and…
We construct a generalize Ishida complex to compute the local cohomology with monomial support of modules over quotients of polynomial rings by cellular binomial ideals. As a consequence, we obtain a combinatorial criterion to determine…
For any integer $d\times (n+1)$ matrix $A$ and parameter $\beta\in\CC^d$ let $M_A(\beta)$ be the associated $A$-hypergeometric (or GKZ) system in the variables $x_0,\ldots,x_n$. We describe bounds for the (roots of the) $b$-functions of…
For a positive integer $k$ and a non-negative integer $t$ a class of simplicial complexes, to be denoted by $k$-${\rm CM}_t$, is introduced. This class generalizes two notions for simplicial complexes: being $k$-Cohen-Macaulay and…
For a Euclidean building $X$ of type $A_{2}$, we classify the 0-dimensional subbuildings $A$ of $\partial_{T}X$ that occur as the asymptotic boundary of closed convex subsets. In particular, we show that triviality of the holonomy of a…
We define centrally large subalgebras of simple unital C*-algebras, strengthening the definition of large subalgebras in previous work. We prove that if A is any infinite dimensional simple separable unital C*-algebra which contains a…
This is part of an ongoing project to find a general algebraic framework for semiring theory. The structure theory of semirings is quite challenging, largely because of the lack of negation, and such basic properties such as unique…
We examine the ranks of operators in semi-finite C*-algebras as measured by their densely defined lower semicontinuous traces. We first prove that a unital simple C*-algebra whose extreme tracial boundary is nonempty and finite contains…
We consider the semisimple orbits of a Vinberg $\theta$-representation. First we take the complex numbers as base field. By a case by case analysis we show a technical result stating the equality of two sets of hyperplanes, one…
For a reduced hyperplane arrangement we prove the analytic Twisted Logarithmic Comparison Theorem, subject to mild combinatorial arithmetic conditions on the weights defining the twist. This gives a quasi-isomorphism between the twisted…
A rank one local system $\LL$ on a smooth complex algebraic variety $M$ is 1-admissible if the dimension of the first cohomology group $H^1(M,\LL)$ can be computed from the cohomology algebra $H^*(M,\C)$ in degrees $\leq 2$. Under the…
We show that for every finite-volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ and every prime $p$ we have $\text{dim}\ H_1(M;\mathbf{F}_p)< 168.602\cdot\text{vol}\ M$. There are slightly stronger estimates if $p = 2$ or if $M$ is non-compact. This…
The higher rank numerical range is closely connected to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. It is known that if a normal matrix $A \in M_n$ has eigenvalues $a_1, \..., a_n$, then its higher rank…
