Each linear code can be described by a code ideal given as the sum of a toric ideal and a non-prime ideal. In this way, several concepts from the theory of toric ideals can be translated into the setting of code ideals. It will be shown…

K3 polytopes appear in complements of tropical quartic surfaces. They are dual to regular unimodular central triangulations of reflexive polytopes in the fourth dilation of the standard tetrahedron. Exploring these combinatorial objects, we…

In the present paper we show a link between bistochastic quantum channels and classical maps. The primary goal of this work is to analyse the multiplicative structure of the Birkhoff polytope of order 3 (the simplest non-trivial case). A…

We describe a perturbation method that can be used to reduce the problem of finding the multivariate generating function (MGF) of a non-simple polytope to computing the MGF of simple polytopes. We then construct a perturbation that works…

This paper introduces the notion of an unravelled abstract regular polytope, and proves that $\SL_3(q) \rtimes <t>$, where $t$ is the transpose inverse automorphism of $\SL_3(q)$, possesses such polytopes for various congruences of $q$. A…

In this paper we show that polyomino ideal of a simple polyomino coincides with the toric ideal of a weakly chordal bipartite graph and hence it has a quadratic Gr\"obner basis with respect to a suitable monomial order.

This paper discusses properties of the graphs of 2-way and 3-way transportation polytopes, in particular, their possible numbers of vertices and their diameters. Our main results include a quadratic bound on the diameter of axial 3-way…

A $3$-dimensional polytope $P$ is $k$-equiprojective when the projection of $P$ along any line that is not parallel to a facet of $P$ is a polygon with $k$ vertices. In 1968, Geoffrey Shephard asked for a description of all equiprojective…

We adapt the free monotone transport results of Guionnet and Shlyakhtenko to the type $\text{III}$ case. As a direct application, we obtain that the $q$-deformed Araki-Woods algebras are isomorphic (for sufficiently small $|q|$).

In the present paper, we prove that the toric ideals of certain $s$-block diagonal matching fields have quadratic Gr\"obner bases. Thus, in particular, those are quadratically generated. By using this result, we provide a new family of…

Let $I_G$ be the toric ideal of a graph $G$. We characterize in graph theoretical terms the primitive, the minimal, the indispensable and the fundamental binomials of the toric ideal $I_G$.

Let $(X, A)$ be a polarized nonsingular toric 3-fold with not effective $A+K_X$. Then for any ample line bundle $L$ on $X$ the image of the embedding by the complete linear system of $L$ is an intersections of quadrics.

Let G be a finite graph on [n] = {1,2,3,...,n}, X a 2 times n matrix of indeterminates over a field K, and S = K[X] a polynomial ring over K. In this paper, we study about ideals I_G of S generated by 2-minors [i,j] of X which correspond to…

The lectures are devoted to a remarkable class of $3$-dimensional polytopes, which are mathematical models of the important object of quantum physics, quantum chemistry and nanotechnology -- fullerenes. The main goal is to show how results…

Results of Koebe (1936), Schramm (1992), and Springborn (2005) yield realizations of $3$-polytopes with edges tangent to the unit sphere. Here we study the algebraic degrees of such realizations. This initiates the research on constrained…

We augment the list of finite universal locally toroidal regular polytopes of type {3,3,4,3,3} due to P.McMullen and E.Schulte, adding as well as removing entries. This disproves a related long-standing conjecture. Our new universal…

Every finite, self-dual, regular (or chiral) 4-polytope of type {3,q,3} has a trivalent 3-transitive (or 2-transitive) medial layer graph. Here, by dropping self-duality, we obtain a construction for semisymmetric trivalent graphs (which…

This paper classifies all toric Fano 3-folds with terminal singularities. This is achieved by solving the equivalent combinatoric problem; that of finding, up to the action of GL(3,Z), all convex polytopes in Z^3 which contain the origin as…

To any toric ideal $I_A$, encoded by an integer matrix $A$, we associate a matroid structure called {\em the bouquet graph} of $A$ and introduce another toric ideal called {\em the bouquet ideal} of $A$. We show how these objects capture…

The cut polytope of a graph is an important object in several fields, such as functional analysis, combinatorial optimization, and probability. For example, Sturmfels and Sullivant showed that the toric ideals of cut polytopes are useful in…
