Associated to any hypergraph is a toric ideal encoding the algebraic relations among its edges. We study these ideals and the combinatorics of their minimal generators, and derive general degree bounds for both uniform and non-uniform…
We give an explicit description of the automorphism group of a product of complete toric varieties over an arbitrary field in terms of the respective automorphism groups of its components. More precisely, we prove that, up to permutation of…
In this short note we present a simple combinatorial trick which can be effectively applied to show the non--existence of sharply transitive sets of permutations in certain finite permutation groups.
We study a gravitational action which is a linear combination of the Hilbert-Palatini term and a term quadratic in torsion and possessing local Poincare invariance. Although this action yields the same equations of motion as General…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the cone of non-negative, radial, positive-definite functions in the set of continuous functions on $\R^d$. Elements of this cone admit a Choquet integral representation in terms of the extremals. The…
Suppose a residually finite group $G$ acts cocompactly on a contractible complex with strict fundamental domain $Q$, where the stabilizers are either trivial or have normal $\mathbb{Z}$-subgroups. Let $\partial Q$ be the subcomplex of $Q$…
We evaluate in closed form several classes of finite trigonometric sums. Two general methods are used. The first is new and involves sums of roots of unity. The second uses contour integration and extends a previous method used by two of…
We introduce a torsor-theoretic obstruction to equivariant unirationality and show that it is also sufficient for actions of finite groups on toric varieties arising from automorphisms of the torus.
We investigate Gauss maps of (not necessarily normal) projective toric varieties over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. The main results are as follows: (1) The structure of the Gauss map of a toric variety is…
Toric geometry provides a bridge between the theory of polytopes and algebraic geometry: one can associate to each lattice polytope a polarized toric variety. In this thesis we explore this correspondence to classify smooth lattice…
We prove a class of equivalences of additive functor categories that are relevant to enumerative combinatorics, representation theory, and homotopy theory. Let $\mathscr{X}$ denote an additive category with finite direct sums and split…
We show that contracting self-similar groups satisfy the Farrell-Jones conjectures as soon as their universal contracting cover is non-positively curved. This applies in particular to bounded self-similar groups. We define, along the way, a…
We formulate a global conjecture for the automorphic period integral associated to the symmetric pairs defined by unitary groups over number fields, generalizing a theorem of Waldspurger's toric period for $\mathrm{GL}(2)$. We introduce a…
The main result concerns a bicategorical factorization system on the bicategory $\mathrm{Cat}$ of categories and functors. Each functor $A\xra{f} B$ factors up to isomorphism as $A\xra{j}E\xra{p}B$ where $j$ is what we call an ultimate…
In this paper, we prove some rigidity theorems for shrinking gradient Ricci solitons with nonnegative sectional curvature.
The aim of this paper is to study the behavior of knot Floer homology under Murasugi sum. We establish a graded version of Ni's isomorphism between the extremal knot Floer homology of Murasugi sum of two links and the tensor product of the…
We describe examples showing the sharpness of Fujita's conjecture on adjoint bundles also in the general type case, and use these examples to formulate related bold conjectures on pluricanonical maps of varieties of general type.
A $\mathcal G$-system is a collection of $\mathbb Z$-bases of $\mathbb Z^n$ with some extra axiomatic conditions. There are two kinds of actions "mutations" and "co-Bongartz completions" naturally acting on a $\mathcal G$-system, which…
We shall present an elementary approach to extremal decompositions of (quantum) covariance matrices determined by densities. We give a new proof on former results and provide a sharp estimate of the ranks of the densities that appear in the…
Let $k$ be a perfect field and let $C_0:f=0$ be a smooth curve in the torus $\mathbb{G}_{m,k}^2$. Let $\mathbb{T}_\Delta$ be the toric variety associated to the Newton polygon of $f$. Extending the toric resolution of $C_0$ on…
