In this article we disprove the conjectures asserting the positivity of the coefficients of the Ehrhart polynomial of matroid polytopes by De Loera, Haws and K\"oppe (2007) and of generalized permutohedra by Castillo and Liu (2015). We…

The growth-rate function for a minor-closed class $\mathcal{M}$ of matroids is the function $h$ where, for each non-negative integer $r$, $h(r)$ is the maximum number of elements of a simple matroid in $\mathcal{M}$ with rank at most $r$.…

A finitely generated module over the ring L=Z[t, t^{-1}] of integer Laurent polynomials that has no Z-torsion is determined by a pair of sub-lattices of L^d. Their indices are the absolute values of the leading and trailing coefficients of…

We give a uniform and self-contained proof that if $G$ is a connected graph with $\chi(G) = \Delta(G)$ and $G\neq \overline{C_7}$, then $G$ contains either $K_{\Delta(G)}$ or an odd hole where every vertex has degree at least $\Delta(G)-1$…

Let $D$ be a strongly connected directed graph of order $n\geq 4$ which satisfies the following condition (*): for every pair of non-adjacent vertices $x, y$ with a common in-neighbour $d(x)+d(y)\geq 2n-1$ and $min \{ d(x), d(y)\}\geq n-1$.…

We establish a connection between oriented matroid theory and loop quantum gravity in (2+2) (two time and two space dimensions) and 8-dimensions. We start by observing that supersymmetry implies that the structure constants of the real…

We consider a specialization $Y_M(q,t)$ of the Tutte polynomial of a matroid $M$ which is inspired by analogy with the Potts model from statistical mechanics. The only information lost in this specialization is the number of loops of $M$.…

We give a classification theorem for a relevant class of $t$-structures in triangulated categories, which includes in the case of the derived category of a Grothendieck category, the $t$-structures whose hearts have at most $n$ fixed…

In this paper we exhibit and study a novel class of exceptional Krall orthogonal polynomials of Hermite type. This means that the polynomials in question are (i) orthogonal with respect to a Hermite-type weight; (ii) are the eigenfunctions…

We present statistics on the decompositions (with respect to a distinguished symmetric 2t-cycle) of vertices of the hypercube graph, whose negative parts are covered by two subsets of the ground set {1,...,t} of the corresponding oriented…

We prove that the Tutte polynomial of a coloopless paving matroid is convex along the portions of the line segments x+y=p lying in the positive quadrant. Every coloopless paving matroids is in the class of matroids which contain two…

In this paper we find new integrable one-dimensional lattice models of electrons. We classify all such nearest-neighbour integrable models with su(2)xsu(2) symmetry following the procedure first introduced in arXiv:1904.12005. We find 12…

For a curve C and a reductive group G in prime characteristic, we relate the de Rham moduli of logarithmic G-connections on C to the Dolbeault moduli of logarithmic G-Higgs bundles on the Frobenius twist of C. We name this result the…

We introduce a new framework for constructing black hole solutions that are holographically dual to strongly coupled field theories with explicitly broken translation invariance. Using a classical gravitational theory with a continuous…

We construct oriented matroids of rank 3 on 13 points whose realization spaces are disconnected. They are defined on smaller points than the known examples with this property. Moreover, we construct the one on 13 points whose realization…

Let $S$ and $X$ be two connected topological surfaces without boundary, and assume that $S$ is either of infinite type or has negative Euler characteristic. In this paper, we prove that if $p:S\rightarrow X$ is a fully ramified branched…

A h-uniform hypergraph H=(V,E) is called (l,k)-orientable if there exists an assignment of each hyperedge e to exactly l of its vertices such that no vertex is assigned more than k hyperedges. Let H_{n,m,h} be a hypergraph, drawn uniformly…

We give a new proof of the fact that the complement of the complexification of a real hyperplane arrangement is homotopy equivalent to the Salvetti complex of the associated oriented matroid. Our proof involves no choices, is relatively…

There exist several theorems which state that when a matroid is representable over distinct fields F_1,...,F_k, it is also representable over other fields. We prove a theorem, the Lift Theorem, that implies many of these results. First,…

The h^*-polynomial of a lattice polytope is the numerator of the generating function of the Ehrhart polynomial. Let P be a lattice polytope with h^*-polynomial of degree d and with linear coefficient h^*_1. We show that P has to be a…
