We construct an effective algorithmic method to compute the homological monodromy of a complex polynomial which is tame. As an application we show the existence of conjugated polynomials in a number field which are not topologically…

We study monic univariate polynomials whose coefficients are analytic functions of a real variable and whose roots lie in a specified analytic curve. These include characteristic polynomials of unitary and hermitian matrices whose entries…

We approach string phenomenology from the perspective of computational algebraic geometry, by providing new and efficient techniques for proving stability and calculating particle spectra in heterotic compactifications. This is done in the…

We study the combinatorics of pseudoline arrangements in the real projective plane. Our focus lies on two classes of arrangements: simplicial arrangements and arrangements whose characteristic polynomials have only real roots. We derive…

Multipath cohomology is a cohomology theory for directed graphs, which is defined using the path poset. The aim of this paper is to investigate combinatorial properties of path posets, and to provide computational tools for multipath…

Following the author's previous works, we continue to consider the problem of counting the number of affine conjugacy classes of polynomials of one complex variable when its unordered collection of holomorphic fixed point indices is given.…

A theory of numerical path-following in toric varieties was suggested in two previous papers. The motivation is solving systems of polynomials with real or complex coefficients. When those polynomials are not assumed 'dense', solving them…

The group of direct isometries of the real n-dimensional hyperbolic space is G=SOo(n,1). This isometric action admits many differentiable compactifications into an action on the closed ball. We prove that all such compactifications are…

We describe new algorithms to compute Whitney stratifications of real algebraic varieties. Using either conormal or polar techniques, these algorithms stratify a complexification of a given real variety. We then show that the resulting…

The space of monic squarefree polynomials has a stratification according to the multiplicities of the critical points, called the equicritical stratification. Tracking the positions of roots and critical points, there is a map from the…

A polynomial knot in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a smooth embedding of $\mathbb{R}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that the component functions are real polynomials. In the earlier paper with Mishra, we have studied the space $\mathcal{P}$ of polynomial…

Given any polynomial system with fixed monomial term structure, we give explicit formulae for the generic number of roots with specified coordinate vanishing restrictions. For the case of affine space minus an arbitrary union of coordinate…

Let P_{k, n}^l be the space consisting of monic complex polynomials f(z) of degree k and such that the number of n-fold roots of f(z) is at most l. In this paper, we determine the integral homology groups of P_{k, n}^l.

We use localization to describe the restriction map from equivariant Chow cohomology to ordinary Chow cohomology for complete toric varieties in terms of piecewise polynomial functions and Minkowski weights. We compute examples showing that…

The purpose of this paper is to study the topology of certain toric varieties $X_I$, arising as quotients of the action of $\C^*$ on complements of arrangements of coordinate subspaces in $\C^n$, and to improve the homotopy stability…

We use orientations on stable graphs to express the combinatorial structure of the compactified universal Jacobians in degrees g-1 and g over the moduli space of stable curves, \Mgb, and construct for them graded stratifications compatible…

We consider the moduli space $\mathcal{R}_n$ of pairs of monic, degree $n$ polynomials whose resultant equals $1$. We relate the topology of these algebraic varieties to their geometry and arithmetic. In particular, we compute their…

We introduce combinatorial types of arrangements of convex bodies, extending order types of point sets to arrangements of convex bodies, and study their realization spaces. Our main results witness a trade-off between the combinatorial…

For any natural $d \ge k \ge 2$ we calculate the cohomology groups of the space of homogeneous polynomials $R^2 \to R$ of degree $d$, which do not vanish with multiplicity $\ge k$ on real lines. For $k=2$ this problem provides the simplest…
