Form an $n \times n$ matrix by drawing entries independently from $\{\pm1\}$ (or another fixed nontrivial finitely supported distribution in $\mathbf{Z}$) and let $\phi$ be the characteristic polynomial. Conditionally on the extended…

The main purpose of this paper is to show that the mixed Hodge polynomial of the ``space of equations'' for smooth complete intersections of given multidegree in $\mathbb{C} P^n$ is divisible by the mixed Hodge polynomial of the group…

Divisibility sequences are defined by the property that their elements divide each other whenever their indices do. The divisibility sequences that also satisfy a linear recurrence, like the Fibonacci numbers, are generated by polynomials…

We prove a general Zariski-van Kampen-Lefschetz type theorem for higher homotopy groups of generic and nongeneric pencils on singular open complex spaces.

Let $x_1,...,x_{n}$ be real numbers, $P(x)=p_n(x-x_1)...(x-x_n)$, and $Q(x)$ be a polynomial of degree less than or equal to $n$. Denote by $\Delta(Q)$ the matrix of generalized divided differences of $Q(x)$ with nodes $x_1,...,x_n$ and by…

We show that the signed counts of normalized real polynomials, as defined by Itenberg and Zvonkine, provide the signed counts of genus zero real ramified coverings of the Riemann sphere with a point of total ramification and several other…

We study subvarieties of a general projective degree $d$ hypersurface $X_d\subset \mathbf P^n$. Our main theorem, which improves previous results of L. Ein and C. Voisin, implies in particular the following sharp corollary: any subvariety…

We study subvarieties of very general complete intersections $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ of multidegree $(d_1,\dots,d_c)$, when $d:= d_1+\dots +d_c$ is sufficiently large. In a seminal paper Ein proved that if $d\geq 2n-c-k+2$, any…

We consider multicomponent local Poisson structures of the form $\mathcal P_3 + \mathcal P_1$, under the assumption that the third order term $\mathcal P_3$ is Darboux-Poisson and non-degenerate, and study the Poisson compatibility of two…

In this paper, we define a homogeneous polynomial for a general hypergraph, and establish a remarkable connection between clique number and the homogeneous polynomial of a general hypergraph. For a general hypergraph, we explore some…

We link $n$-jets of the affine monomial scheme defined by $x^p$ to the stable set polytope of some perfect graph. We prove that, as $p$ varies, the dimension of the coordinate ring of a certain subscheme of the scheme of $n$-jets as a…

We introduce a Grothendieck group $E_n$ for bounded polytopes in $\mathbb R^n$. It differs from the usual Euclidean scissors congruence group in that lower-dimensional polytopes are not ignored. We also define an analogous group $L_n$ using…

Let $P$ be a set of $n\geq 2$ points in general position in $R^2$. The edge disjointness graph $D(P)$ of $P$ is the graph whose vertices are all the closed straight line segments with endpoints in $P$, two of which are adjacent in $D(P)$ if…

This paper is a new contribution to the study of regular subgroups of the affine group $AGL_n(F)$, for any field $F$. In particular we associate to any partition $\lambda\neq (1^{n+1})$ of $n+1$ abelian regular subgroups in such a way that…

In this paper we propose a conseptual framework for the observed properties of discriminants of polylinear forms. The connection with classical problems of linear algebra is shown. A new class of algebraic varieties (hypergrassmanians) is…

Let X be a complex projective n-dimensional manifold of general type, whose canonical system is composite with a pencil. If the Albanese map is generically finite, but not surjective, or if the irregularity is strictly larger than n and the…

The paper studies the generic complex 1-dimensional polynomial vector fields of the form $iP(z)\frac{\partial}{\partial z}$, where $P$ is a polynomial with real coefficients, under topological orbital equivalence preserving the separatrices…

Let $\pi:{\mathbb R}^n \to {\mathbb R}^d$ be any linear projection, let $A$ be the image of the standard basis. Motivated by Postnikov's study of postitive Grassmannians via plabic graphs and Galashin's connection of plabic graphs to slices…

Let six points $1, ...6$ lie in general position in the real projective plane and consider the pencil of nodal cubics based at these points, with node at one of them, say 1. This pencil has five reducible cubics. We call combinatorial cubic…

Given an irreducible variety $X$ over a finite field, the density of hypersurfaces of varying degree $d$ intersecting $X$ in an irreducible subvariety is $1$, by a result of Charles and Poonen. In this note, we analyse the situation fixing…
