Let $f_i(P)$ denote the number of $i$-dimensional faces of a convex polytope $P$. Furthermore, let $S(n,d)$ and $C(n,d)$ denote, respectively, the stacked and the cyclic $d$-dimensional polytopes on $n$ vertices. Our main result is that for…

Let $\Delta$ be simplicial complex and let $k[\Delta]$ denote the Stanley--Reisner ring corresponding to $\Delta$. Suppose that $k[\Delta]$ has a pure free resolution. Then we describe the Betti numbers and the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicity…

The $g$-theorem is a momentous result in combinatorics that gives a complete numerical characterization of the face numbers of simplicial convex polytopes. The $g$-conjecture asserts that the same numerical conditions given in the…

Face numbers of triangulations of simplicial complexes were studied by Stanley by use of his concept of a local $h$-vector. It is shown that a parallel theory exists for cubical subdivisions of cubical complexes, in which the role of the…

In this paper, we give results that partially prove a conjecture which was discussed in our previous work (arXiv:1307.4991). More precisely, we prove that as $n\to \infty,$ the zeros of the polynomial$${}_{2}\text{F}_{1}\left[…

We prove that if a pure simplicial complex of dimension d with n facets has the least possible number of (d-1)-dimensional faces among all complexes with n faces of dimension d, then it is vertex decomposable. This answers a question of J.…

The spectrum of the Laplacian of successive Barycentric subdivisions of a graph converges exponentially fast to a limit which only depends on the clique number of the initial graph and not on the graph itself. The proof uses an explicit…

We study the finite dimensional spaces $V$ which are invariant under the action of the finite differences operator $\Delta_h^m$. Concretely, we prove that if $V$ is such an space, there exists a finite dimensional translation invariant…

We say that a subset of C^n is hypoconvex if its complement is the union of complex hyperplanes. Let D be the closed unit disk in C, T the unit circle. We prove two conjectures of Helton and Marshall. (See ``Frequency domain design and…

We generalize Coincidence theorem due to Walsh for symmetric and linear polynomial in n complex variables, that is linear in each of them having total degre n. We discuss case when total degree is smaller then n. This case has been already…

Given a simplicial complex $\Delta$, we investigate how to construct a new simplicial complex $\bar{\Delta}$ such that the corresponding monomial ideals satisfy nice algebraic properties. We give a procedure to check the vertex…

Fix a field $k$. When $\Delta$ is a simplicial complex on $n$ vertices with Stanley-Reisner ideal $I_\Delta$, we define and study an invariant called the $\textit{type defect}$ of $\Delta$. Except when $\Delta$ is of a single simplex, the…

We find families of simplicial complexes where the simplicial chromatic polynomials defined by Cooper--de Silva--Sazdanovic \cite{CdSS} are Hilbert series of Stanley--Reisner rings of auxiliary simplicial complexes. As a result, such…

We prove that any lower unitriangular and totally nonnegative matrix gives rise to a family of polynomials with only real zeros. This has consequences for problems in several areas of mathematics. We use it to develop a general theory for…

We establish a formula which decomposes the cohomologies of various sheaves on a simple normal crossings divisor (SNC) $D$ in terms of the simplicial cohomologies of the dual complex $\Delta(D)$ with coefficients in a presheaf of vector…

We study a natural stratification of certain affine slices of univariate hyperbolic polynomials. We look into which posets of strata can be realized and show that the dual of the poset of strata is a shellable simplicial complex and in…

We consider the following question: if a simplicial complex $\Delta$ has $d$-homology, then does the corresponding $d$-cycle always induce cycles of smaller dimension that are not boundaries in $\Delta$? We provide an answer to this…

We compute the special values of partial zeta function at $s=0$ for family of real quadratic fields $K_n$ and ray class ideals $\fb_n$ such that $\fb_n^{-1} = [1,\delta(n)]$ where the continued fraction expansion of $\delta(n)$ is purely…

The monodromy conjecture is an umbrella term for several conjectured relationships between poles of zeta functions, monodromy eigenvalues and roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomials in arithmetic geometry and singularity theory. Even the…

The classical Dehn--Sommerville relations assert that the $h$-vector of an Eulerian simplicial complex is symmetric. We establish three generalizations of the Dehn--Sommerville relations: one for the $h$-vectors of pure simplicial…
