Keller proposed a combinatorial conjecture on construction of an n-by-infinite matrix, which comes from showing the existence of many orbits of different sizes in certain linear group actions. He proved it for the case n=4, and we show that…
We describe the constructible derived category of sheaves on the $n$-sphere, stratified in a point and its complement, as a dg module category of a formal dg algebra. We prove formality by exploring two different methods: As a combinatorial…
For a given branched covering between closed connected surfaces, there are several easy relations one can establish between the Euler characteristics of the surfaces, their orientability, the total degree, and the local degrees at the…
We introduce a Brauer type algebra $B_G (\Upsilon) $ associated with every pseudo reflection group and every Coxeter group $G$. When $G$ is a Coxeter group of simply-laced type we show $B_G (\Upsilon)$ is isomorphic to the generalized…
For Kichhoff-Love shell problems a new mixed formulation solely based on standard $H^1$ spaces is presented. This allows for flexibility in the construction of discretization spaces, e.g., standard $C^0$-coupling of multi-patch isogeometric…
The well known $g$-conjecture for homology spheres follows from the stronger conjecture that the face ring over the reals of a homology sphere, modulo a linear system of parameters, admits the strong-Lefschetz property. We prove that the…
A generalization of Dowling lattices was recently introduced by Bibby and Gadish, in a work on orbit configuration spaces. The authors left open the question as to whether these posets are shellable. In this paper we prove EL-shellability…
Durhuus and Jonsson (1995) introduced the class of "locally constructible" (LC) 3-spheres and showed that there are only exponentially-many combinatorial types of simplicial LC 3-spheres. Such upper bounds are crucial for the convergence of…
The Hermite-Birkhoff interpolation problem of a function given on arbitrarily distributed points on the sphere and other manifolds is considered. Each proposed interpolant is expressed as a linear combination of basis functions, the…
Components of the Moduli space of sheaves on a K3 surface are parametrized by a lattice; the (algebraic) Mukai lattice. Isometries of the Mukai lattice often lift to symplectic birational isomorphisms of the collection of components. An…
For an integer $m\geq 1$, a combinatorial manifold $\widetilde{M}$ is defined to be a geometrical object $\widetilde{M}$ such that for $\forall p\in\widetilde{M}$, there is a local chart $(U_p,\phi_p)$ enable $\phi_p:U_p\to…
Let L be a lattice admitting a left-modular chain of length r, not necessarily maximal. We show that if either L is graded or the chain is modular, then the (r-2)-skeleton of L is vertex-decomposable (hence shellable). This proves a…
We study 2-term tilting complexes of Brauer tree algebras in terms of simplicial complexes. We show the symmetry and convexity of the simplicial complexes as lattice polytopes. Via a geometric interpretation of derived equivalences, we show…
The paper is devoted to an approach to the bounded cohomology theory based on the theories of simplicial sets and Postnikov systems. In particular, the main results of the bounded cohomology theory of topological spaces are extended to…
We establish a stable homotopy-theoretic version of a recent result of Farber and Weinberger on the fibrewise topological complexity of sphere bundles and prove, by closely parallel methods, a similar result for real, complex and…
A linear ball is a simplicial complex whose geometric realization is homeomorphic to a ball and whose Stanley--Reisner ring has a linear resolution. It turns out that the Stanley--Reisner ring of the sphere which is the boundary complex of…
Multi-component aggregates are being intensively researched in various fields because of their highly tunable properties and wide applications. Due to the complex configurational space of these systems, research would greatly benefit from a…
We construct the first explicit example of a simplicial 3-ball B_{15,66} that is not collapsible. It has only 15 vertices. We exhibit a second 3-ball B_{12,38} with 12 vertices that is collapsible and evasive, but not shellable. Finally, we…
Nanoparticles with "sticky patches" have long been proposed as building blocks for the self-assembly of complex structures. The synthetic realizability of such patchy particles, however, greatly lags behind predictions of patterns they…
The construction of a simplicial complex given by polyhedral joins (introduced by Anton Ayzenberg), generalizes Bahri, Bendersky, Cohen and Gitler's $J$-construction and simplicial wedge construction. This article gives a cohomological…
