We study a family of symmetric polynomials that we refer to as the Boolean product polynomials. The motivation for studying these polynomials stems from the computation of the characteristic polynomial of the real matroid spanned by the…

Simple Hurwitz numbers enumerate branched morphisms between Riemann surfaces with fixed ramification data. In recent years, several variants of this notion for genus $0$ base curves have appeared in the literature. Among them are so-called…

The isomonodromic tau-function for the Hurwitz spaces of branched coverings of genus zero and one are constructed explicitly. Such spaces may be equipped with the structure of a Frobenius manifold and this introduces a flat coordinate…

We continue our computation, using a combinatorial method based on Gronthendieck's dessins d'enfant, of the number of (weak) equivalence classes of surface branched covers matching certain specific branch data. In this note we concentrate…

Motivated by Wilmshurst's conjecture, we investigate the zeros of harmonic polynomials. We utilize a certified counting approach which is a combination of two methods from numerical algebraic geometry: numerical polynomial homotopy…

Some purely chiral fractional quantum Hall states are described by symmetric or anti-symmetric polynomials of infinite variables. In this article, we review a systematic construction and classification of those fractional quantum Hall…

We survey results on the distribution of zeros of random polynomials and of random holomorphic sections of line bundles, especially for large classes of probability measures on the spaces of holomorphic sections. We provide furthermore some…

In this paper we revisit several recent results on monotone and strictly monotone Hurwitz numbers, providing new proofs. In particular, we use various versions of these numbers to discuss methods of derivation of quantum spectral curves…

This work concerns both the semiclassical and zero temperature asymptotics of quantum weighted double Hurwitz numbers. The partition function for quantum weighted double Hurwitz numbers can be interpreted in terms of the energy distri-…

Let S be a finite subset of a field. For multivariate polynomials the generalized Schwartz-Zippel bound [2], [4] estimates the number of zeros over Sx...xS counted with multiplicity. It does this in terms of the total degree, the number of…

We define parabolic quasi-Coxeter elements in well generated complex reflection groups. We characterize them in multiple natural ways, and we study two combinatorial objects associated with them: the collections $\operatorname{Red}_W(g)$ of…

In this paper, we introduce modular polynomials for the congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(M)$ when $ X_0(M) $ has genus zero and therefore the polynomials are defined by a Hauptmodul of $ X_0(M) $. We show that the intersection number of two…

In our previous work [CMS24] we defined a new class of enumerative invariants called $k$-leaky double Hurwitz descendants, generalizing both descendant integrals of double ramification cycles and $k$-leaky double Hurwitz numbers. Here, we…

In 1891, Hurwitz introduced the enumeration of genus $g$, degree $d$, branched covers of the Riemann sphere with simple ramification over prescribed points and no branching elsewhere. He showed that for fixed degree $d$, the enumeration…

We present a polynomial partitioning theorem for finite sets of points in the real locus of an irreducible complex algebraic variety of codimension at most two. This result generalizes the polynomial partitioning theorem on the Euclidean…

In 1970, B.A. Asner, Jr., proved that for a real quasi-stable polynomial, i.e., a polynomial whose zeros lie in the \emph{closed} left half-plane of the complex plane, its finite Hurwitz matrix is totally nonnegative, i.e., all its minors…

In this paper, based on the value of central character on the transposition, we find structure and large genus asymptotics of certain Hurwitz numbers.

We are building a theory of simple Hurwitz numbers for the reflection groups B and D parallel to the classical theory for the symmetric group. We also study analogs of the cut-and-join operators. An algebraic description of Hurwitz numbers…

In this very short note we slightly generalize some relations for one-part double Hurwitz numbers from math.AG/0209282.

We describe a method for counting maps of curves of given genus (and variable moduli) to $\Bbb P^2$, essentially by splitting the $\Bbb P^2$ in two; then specialising to the case of genus 0 we show that the method of quantum cohomology may…
