Postnikov gave a combinatorial description of the cells in a totally-nonnegative Grassmannian. These cells correspond to a special class of matroids called positroid. We prove his conjecture that a positroid is exactly an intersection of…
In a recent paper we introduced a multivariable generalisation of the Bessel polynomials, depending on one extra parameter, and related to the so-called hyperbolic Sutherland model with external Morse potential. In this paper we obtain a…
We give a simple combinatorial criterion, in terms of an action on a hyperbolic simplicial complex, for a group to be hierarchically hyperbolic. We apply this to show that quotients of mapping class groups by large powers of Dehn twists are…
The maximum intersection problem for a matroid and a greedoid, given by polynomial-time oracles, is shown $NP$-hard by expressing the satisfiability of boolean formulas in 3-conjunctive normal form as such an intersection. The corresponding…
The intersection data of a hyperplane arrangement is described by a geometric lattice, or equivalently a simple matroid. There is a rich interplay between this combinatorial structure and the topology of the arrangement complement. In this…
We introduce a variation of the well-known Newton-Hironaka polytope for algebroid hypersurfaces. This combinatorial object is a perturbed version of the original one, parametrized by a real number. For well-chosen values of the parameter,…
We introduce the notion of n-mating in this work, which includes the classical mating of polynomials as a special case. The new notion brings further links between the polynomial world and the rational world than the classical one, as well…
We discuss generalizations of some results on lattice polygons to certain piecewise linear loops which may have a self-intersection but have vertices in the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$. We first prove a formula on the rotation number of a…
For any matroid $M$, we compute the Tutte polynomial $T_M(x,y)$ using the mixed intersection numbers of certain classes in the combinatorial Chow ring $A^\bullet(M)$ arising from hypersimplices. Using the mixed Hodge-Riemann relations, we…
Intersection bodies represent a remarkable class of geometric objects associated with sections of star bodies and invoking Radon transforms, generalized cosine transforms, and the relevant Fourier analysis. The main focus of this article is…
The Hessian Topology is a subject with interesting relations with some classical problems of analysis and geometry. In this article we prove a conjecture on this subject stated by V.I. Arnold concerning the number of connected components of…
We initiate the combinatorial study of factorization systems on finite lattices, paying special attention to the role that reflective and coreflective factorization systems play in partitioning the poset of factorization systems on a fixed…
In this work, we consider matroid theory. After presenting three different (but equivalent) definitions of matroids, we mention some of the most important theorems of such theory. In particular, we note that every matroid has a dual matroid…
We give a complete combinatorial description of the bifurcation structure in the space of exponential maps $z\mapsto\exp(z)+\kappa$. This combinatorial structure is the basis for a number of important results about exponential parameter…
Intersecting and cross-intersecting families usually appear in extremal combinatorics in the vein of the Erd{\H o}s--Ko--Rado theorem. On the other hand, P.~Erd{\H o}s and L.~Lov{\'a}sz in the noted paper~\cite{EL} posed problems on…
The great innovation of the Generalized Theorem is that it gives us the philosophy to work out the knowledge that the number of roots of an equation depends on the subfields of the functional terms of the equation they generate. Thus, the…
We show that the number of linear spaces on a set of $n$ points and the number of rank-3 matroids on a ground set of size $n$ are both of the form $(cn+o(n))^{n^2/6}$, where $c=e^{\sqrt 3/2-3}(1+\sqrt 3)/2$. This is the final piece of the…
Supersymmetry is nowadays indispensable for many problems in Random Matrix Theory. It is presented here with an emphasis on conceptual and structural issues. An introduction to supermathematics is given. The Hubbard-Stratonovich…
Oriented matroids (often called order types) are combinatorial structures that generalize point configurations, vector configurations, hyperplane arrangements, polyhedra, linear programs, and directed graphs. Oriented matroids have played a…
Gromov hyperbolic spaces have become an essential concept in geometry, topology and group theory. Here we extend Ancona's potential theory on Gromov hyperbolic manifolds and graphs of bounded geometry to a large class of Schr\"odinger…
