We study methods for finding the solution set of a generic system in a family of polynomial systems with parametric coefficients. We present a framework for describing monodromy based solvers in terms of decorated graphs. Under the…
We describe a classification of degree n complex coefficient polynomials with respect to combinatorial patterns that arise from the two real algebraic curves obtained as the zero sets for their real and imaginary part. In particular, we…
We show that strata of oriented toric hyperplane arrangements are in bijection with a collection of lattice points in a zonotope. Moreover, we relate the dimension of the stratum and the dimension of the minimal face of the zonotope…
This paper is part of a series of three articles with the objective of investigating a stratified version of the homotopy hypothesis in terms of semi-model structures that interact well with classical examples of stratified spaces, such as…
One deals with arbitrary reduced free divisors in a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero, by stressing the ideal theoretic and homological behavior of the corresponding singular locus. A particular emphasis is given to both…
The aim of this short note is to develop a (co)homology theory for topological spaces together with the specialisation preorder. A known way to construct such a (co)homology is to define a partial order on the topological space starting…
Polynomial algebra offers a standard approach to handle several problems in geometric modeling. A key tool is the discriminant of a univariate polynomial, or of a well-constrained system of polynomial equations, which expresses the…
A polynomial homotopy is a family of polynomial systems in one parameter, which defines solution paths starting from known solutions and ending at solutions of a system that has to be solved. We consider paths leading to isolated singular…
We study homomorphism polynomials, which are polynomials that enumerate all homomorphisms from a pattern graph $H$ to $n$-vertex graphs. These polynomials have received a lot of attention recently for their crucial role in several new…
Renormalized homotopy continuation on toric varieties is introduced as a tool for solving sparse systems of polynomial equations, or sparse systems of exponential sums. The cost of continuation depends on a renormalized condition length,…
For every polynomial f of degree n with no double roots, there is an associated family C(f) of harmonic algebraic curves, fibred over the circle, with at most n-1 singular fibres. We study the combinatorial topology of C(f) in the generic…
In 2010, Vershik proposed a new combinatorial invariant of metric spaces given by a class of polytopes that arise in the theory of optimal transport and are called ``Wasserstein polytopes'' or ``Kantorovich-Rubinstein polytopes'' in the…
We consider the problem of testing whether the points in a complex or real variety with non-zero coordinates form a multiplicative group or, more generally, a coset of a multiplicative group. For the coset case, we study the notion of…
We propose a refinement of the Betti numbers and of the homology with coefficients in a field of a compact ANR in the presence of a continuous real valued function. The refinement of Betti numbers consists of finite configurations of points…
We investigate one-point reduction methods of finite topological spaces. These methods allow one to study homotopy theory of cell complexes by means of elementary moves of their finite models. We also introduce the notion of h-regular…
We compute the factorization homology of a polynomial algebra over a compact and closed manifold with trivialized tangent bundle up to weak equivalence in a new way. This calculation is based on the model of a graph complex and an explicit…
We introduce the notion of a \emph{conic sequence} of a convex polytope. It is a way of building up a polytope starting from a vertex and attaching faces one by one with certain regulations. We apply this to a toric variety to obtain an…
A reparametrization (of a continuous path) is given by a surjective weakly increasing self-map of the unit interval. We show that the monoid of reparametrizations (with respect to compositions) can be understood via ``stop-maps'' that allow…
We construct the geometric quantization of a compact surface using a singular real polarization coming from an integrable system. Such a polarization always has singularities, which we assume to be of nondegenerate type. In particular, we…
We introduce a new problem on the elementary symmetric polynomials $\sigma_k$, stemming from the constraint equations of some modified gravity theory. For which coefficients is a linear combination of $\sigma_k$ $1/p$-concave, with $0 \leq…
