We give a combinatorial proof that the product of a Schubert polynomial by a Schur polynomial is a nonnegative sum of Schubert polynomials. Our proof uses Assaf's theory of dual equivalence to show that a quasisymmetric function of Bergeron…

An eta-quotient of level $N$ is a modular form of the shape $f(z) = \prod_{\delta | N} \eta(\delta z)^{r_{\delta}}$. We study the problem of determining levels $N$ for which the graded ring of holomorphic modular forms for $\Gamma_{0}(N)$…

We prove some structure results for \emph{transverse reducible} Sasaki manifolds. In particular, we show Sasaki manifolds with positive Ricci curvature is transversely irreducible, and so there is no join (product) construction for…

The Dedekind eta function $\eta(\tau)$ is defined by \[\eta(\tau)=e^{\pi i\tau/12}\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(1-e^{2\pi i n\tau}\right),\quad\text{when}\;\text{Im}\,\tau>0.\] It plays an important role in number theory, especially in the…

We revisit results of Fujino--Sato on complete non-projective $\mathbb Q$-factorial toric varieties and their conjectural factorization by flips. We show that their main results admit short conceptual proofs, avoiding any restriction on the…

Zeta generators are derivations associated with odd Riemann zeta values that act freely on the Lie algebra of the fundamental group of Riemann surfaces with marked points. The genus-zero incarnation of zeta generators are Ihara derivations…

Motivated by the study of the summatory $k$-free indicator and totient functions in the classical setting, we investigate their function field analogues. First, we derive an expression for the error terms of the summatory functions in terms…

We define a power series associated with a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring, encoding information on the Segre classes defined by extensions of the ideal in projective spaces of arbitrarily high dimension. We prove that this power…

A classical result by Kreweras (1965) allows one to compute the number of plane partitions of a given skew shape and bounded parts as certain determinants. We prove that these determinants expand as polynomials with nonnegative…

The zeta function of a motive over a finite field is multiplicative with respect to the direct sum of motives. It has beautiful analytic properties, as were predicted by the Weil conjectures. There is also a multiplicative zeta function,…

If k is a field of characteristic 0, we prove that the motivic Poincare serie and the motivic Zeta functions associated to a k[[t]]-variety, flat and purely dimensional, are rational.

The choice of a homogeneous ideal in a polynomial ring defines a closed subscheme $Z$ in a projective space as well as an infinite sequence of cones over $Z$ in progressively higher dimension projective spaces. Recent work of Aluffi…

We study absolute zeta functions from the view point of a canonical normalization. We introduce the absolute Hurwitz zeta function for the normalization. In particular, we show that the theory of multiple gamma and sine functions gives good…

This paper compares the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ with those of a symmetric combination of zeta functions, denoted ${\cal T}_+(s)$, known to have all its zeros located on the critical line $\Re(s)=1/2$.…

The Poincare series of an irreducible plane curve singularity equals the zeta function of its monodromy, by a result of Campillo, Delgado and Gusein-Zade. We derive this fact from a formula of Ebeling and Gusein-Zade relating the Poincare…

We prove (with a mild restriction on the multidegrees) that all secant varieties of Segre-Veronese varieties with $k>2$ factors, $k-2$ of them being $\mathbb{P}^1$, have the expected dimension. This is equivalent to compute the dimension of…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle over a suitable differential manifold $M$ and let $\wedge^p E$ denote $p$-exterior product of $E$. Given sections $\omega_1,\dots,\omega_k$ of $E$ and a section $\eta$ of $\wedge^p E$, we consider the problem if…

For a global field K and an elliptic curve E_eta over K(T), Silverman's specialization theorem implies that rank(E_eta(K(T))) <= rank(E_t(K)) for all but finitely many t in P^1(K). If this inequality is strict for all but finitely many t,…

Using a transversality argument, we demonstrate the positivity of certain coefficients in the equivariant cohomology and K-theory of a generalized flag manifold. This strengthens earlier equivariant positivity theorems (of Graham and…

We prove that $1-o(1)$ fraction of all $k$-SAT functions on $n$ Boolean variables are unate (i.e., monotone after first negating some variables), for any fixed positive integer $k$ and as $n \to \infty$. This resolves a conjecture by…
