We consider a number of combinatorial problems in which rational generating functions may be obtained, whose denominators have factors with certain singularities. Specifically, there exist points near which one of the factors is asymptotic…

Certain classical generating functions for elements of reflection groups can be expressed using fundamental invariants called exponents. We give new analogues of such generating functions that accommodate orbits of reflecting hyperplanes…

In this note we point out the relation between Brion's formula for the lattice point generating function of a convex polytope in terms of the vertex cones [Brion1988] on the one hand, and the polar decomposition \`a la Lawrence/Varchenko…

Over a decade ago De Loera, Haws and K\"oppe conjectured that Ehrhart polynomials of matroid polytopes have only positive coefficients and that the coefficients of the corresponding $h^*$-polynomials form a unimodal sequence. The first of…

Assume that the link of a complex normal surface singularity is a rational homology sphere. Then its Seiberg-Witten invariant can be computed as the `periodic constant' of the topological multivariable Poincar\'e series (zeta function).…

Let $\Delta \subset \R^n$ be an $n$-dimensional lattice polytope. It is well-known that $h_{\Delta}^*(t) := (1-t)^{n+1} \sum_{k \geq 0} |k\Delta \cap \Z^n| t^k $ is a polynomial of degree $d \leq n$ with nonnegative integral coefficients.…

Given a function $b$, holomorphic on the disc and bounded by 1, one can construct an associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space called the de Branges--Rovnyak space $H(b)$. We explore representations of such spaces via descriptions of the…

We introduce two explicit examples of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. Moments and the reflection coefficients are expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. We find explicit expression for these polynomials in terms of a…

The antiprism triangulation provides a natural way to subdivide a simplicial complex $\Delta$, similar to barycentric subdivision, which appeared independently in combinatorial algebraic topology and computer science. It can be defined as…

We introduce the notion of a weighted $\delta$-vector of a lattice polytope. Although the definition is motivated by motivic integration, we study weighted $\delta$-vectors from a combinatorial perspective. We present a version of Ehrhart…

A lattice polytope is called spanning if its lattice points affinely span the ambient lattice. We show as a corollary to a general result in the Ehrhart theory of lattice polytopes that the $h^*$-vector of a spanning lattice polytope has no…

Morphisms of matroids are combinatorial abstractions of linear maps and graph homomorphisms. We introduce the notion of basis for morphisms of matroids, and show that its generating function is strongly log-concave. As a consequence, we…

We give a new proof for a theorem of Ehrhart regarding the quasi-polynomiality of the function that counts the number of integer points in the integral dilates of a rational polytope. The proof involves a geometric bijection,…

The $r$-fold edgewise subdivision is a well studied flag triangulation of the simplex with interesting algebraic, combinatorial and geometric properties. An important enumerative invariant, namely the local $h$-polynomial, of this…

It was observed by Bump et al. that Ehrhart polynomials in a special family exhibit properties similar to the Riemann {\zeta} function. The construction was generalized by Matsui et al. to a larger family of reflexive polytopes coming from…

In this paper we investigate the number of integer points lying in dilations of lattice path matroid polytopes. We give a characterization of such points as polygonal paths in the diagram of the lattice path matroid. Furthermore, we prove…

Ehrhart theory is the study of the enumeration of lattice points in lattice polytopes. Equivariant Ehrhart theory is a generalization of Ehrhart theory that takes into account the action of a finite group acting via affine transformations…

Let H be a split reductive group over a local non-archimedean field, and let H^ denote its Langlands dual group. We present an explicit formula for the generating function of an unramified L-function associated to a highest weight…

Given a finite set of vectors spanning a lattice and lying in a halfspace of a real vector space, to each vector $a$ in this vector space one can associate a polytope consisting of nonnegative linear combinations of the vectors in the set…

A lattice polytope translated by a rational vector is called an almost integral polytope. In this paper we investigate Ehrhart quasi-polynomials of almost integral polytopes. We study the relationship between the shape of the polytopes and…
