A mixture preorder is a preorder on a mixture space (such as a convex set) that is compatible with the mixing operation. In decision theoretic terms, it satisfies the central expected utility axiom of strong independence. We consider when a…

Leighton's graph covering theorem says that two finite graphs with a common cover have a common finite cover. We present a new proof of this using groupoids, and use this as a model to prove two generalisations of the theorem. The first…

We give a simple direct proof (for the case of Hamiltonian circle actions with isolated fixed points) that Tolman and Weitsman's description of the kernel of the Kirwan map (in other words the sum of those equivariant cohomology classes…

Rado's theorem about permutahedra and dominance order on partitions reveals that each Schur polynomial is M-convex, or equivalently, it has a saturated Newton polytope and this polytope is a generalized permutahedron as well. In this paper…

This paper develops a new framework, \emph{simultaneous saturation}, designed to quantify the size of sets whose elements are simultaneously large. The framework establishes a correspondence between the magnitude of such sets and a system…

The Razumov-Stroganov conjecture relates the ground-state coefficients in the even-length dense O(1) loop model to the enumeration of fully-packed loop configuration on the square, with alternating boundary conditions, refined according to…

We prove a theorem which implies a quantum (multiplicative) analogue of the Horn conjecture, and also of the saturation conjecture. We obtain transversality statements for quantum schubert calculus in any characteristic and also determine…

We give a survey on the Littlewood-Richardson rule. Using Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns as the main machinery of our analysis, we study the interrelationship of various combinatorial descriptions of the Littlewood-Richardson rule.

We give an elementary proof of the Gel'fand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky theorem that non-resonant A-hypergeometric systems are irreducible. We also provide a proof of a converse statement In this second version we have removed the condition of…

Using Jack polynomials, Goulden and Jackson have introduced a one parameter deformation $\tau_b$ of the generating series of bipartite maps, which generalizes the partition function of $\beta$-ensembles of random matrices. The Matching-Jack…

Inspired by a recent result of Brakensiek et al. that symmetric tensor matroids and rigidity matroids are linked by matroid duality, we define abstract symmetric tensor matroids as a dual concept to abstract rigidity matroids and establish…

Let $K$ be the function field of a $p$-adic curve, $G$ a semisimple simply connected group over $K$ and $X$ a $G$-torsor over $K$. A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Parimala and Suresh predicts that if for every discrete valuation $v$ of…

We explore the use of Costa and Farber's model for random simplicial complexes to give probabilistic evidence for exhaustion via rigid expansions on random simplicial complexes which are analogous of curve complexes. This has potential…

We consider the symmetric binary perceptron model, a simple model of neural networks that has gathered significant attention in the statistical physics, information theory and probability theory communities, with recent connections made to…

A first-order theory T has the Schr\"oder-Bernstein (SB) property if any pair of elementarily bi-embeddable models are isomorphic. We prove that T has an expansion by constants that has the SB property if and only if T is superstable and…

We prove a generalization of the Shapiro-Shapiro conjecture on Wronskians of polynomials, allowing the Wronskian to have complex conjugate roots. We decompose the real Schubert cell according to the number of real roots of the Wronski map,…

We study the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients of double Grothendieck polynomials indexed by Grassmannian permutations. Geometrically, these are the structure constants of the equivariant $K$-theory ring of Grassmannians. Representing the…

This paper is the third in an investigation begun in arXiv:1906.05602 and arXiv:1907.07571 of extending the T1 theorem of David and Journ\'e, and optimal cancellation conditions, to more general weight pairs. The main result here is that…

Along the lines of Hodge and Tate conjectures, Beilinson conjectured that in the qth cohomology all the weight 2q Hodge cycles of a smooth complex variety and all the weight 2q Tate cycles of a smooth variety over a finitely generated field…

The Hardy--Littlewood prime $k$-tuples conjecture has long been thought to be completely unapproachable with current methods. While this sadly remains true, startling breakthroughs of Zhang, Maynard, and Tao have nevertheless made…
