We show that the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a central hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal A$, coincide with the multidegrees of the Gauss map of a pencil of hypersurfaces naturally associated to $\mathcal A$. As a…

Using the discriminant modular form and the Noether formula it is possible to write the admissible self-intersection of the relative dualising sheaf of a semistable hyperelliptic curve over a number field or function field as a sum, over…

We introduce a spatial graph and hypergraph model that smoothly interpolates between a graph with purely pairwise edges and a graph where all connections are in large hyperedges. The key component is a spatial clustering resolution…

A new isomorphism invariant of matroids is introduced, in the form of a quasisymmetric function. This invariant (1) defines a Hopf morphism from the Hopf algebra of matroids to the quasisymmetric functions, which is surjective if one uses…

Given a hypergraph G, we introduce a Grassmann algebra over the vertex set, and show that a class of Grassmann integrals permits an expansion in terms of spanning hyperforests. Special cases provide the generating functions for rooted and…

Sidorenko's conjecture states that for every bipartite graph $H$ on $\{1,\cdots,k\}$, $\int \prod_{(i,j)\in E(H)} h(x_i, y_j) d\mu^{|V(H)|} \ge \left( \int h(x,y) \,d\mu^2 \right)^{|E(H)|}$ holds, where $\mu$ is the Lebesgue measure on…

A recent line of research has concentrated on exploring the links between analytic and combinatorial theories of submodularity, uncovering several key connections between them. In this context, Lov\'asz initiated the study of matroids from…

Let $G$ be a simple graph on the vertex set $\{v_1,\dots,v_n\}$ with edge set $E$. Let $K$ be a field. The graphical arrangement $\mathcal{A}_G$ in $K^n$ is the arrangement $x_i-x_j=0, v_iv_j \in E$. An arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ is…

In this paper, we survey some properties, encoding, and bijections involving combinatorial maps, double occurrence words, and chord diagrams. We particularly study quasi-trees from a purely combinatorial point of view and derive a…

Given a connected reductive complex algebraic group $G$ and a spherical subgroup $H \subset G$, the extended weight monoid $\widehat \Lambda^+_G(G/H)$ encodes the $G$-module structures on spaces of global sections of all $G$-linearized line…

A bipartite covering of a (multi)graph $G$ is a collection of bipartite graphs, so that each edge of $G$ belongs to at least one of them. The capacity of the covering is the sum of the numbers of vertices of these bipartite graphs. In this…

Submodular set functions are undoubtedly among the most important building blocks of combinatorial optimization. Somewhat surprisingly, continuous counterparts of such functions have also appeared in an analytic line of research where they…

Submodular functions $z$ defined on the power set of a finite set are in bijection with generalized permutahedra $\egp(z)$. To any such $z$ we define a class of preorders, {\it conforming} preorders. We show the faces of $\egp(z)$ and the…

Given an arbitrary graph G, we study its basic covers algebra, which is the symbolic fiber cone of the Alexander dual of the edge ideal of G. Extending results of Villarreal and Benedetti-Constantinescu-Varbaro, valid only in the case when…

A graph $G$ has an associated multimatroid $\mathcal{Z}_3(G)$, which is equivalent to the isotropic system of $G$ studied by Bouchet. In previous work it was shown that $G$ is a circle graph if and only if for every field $\mathbb F$, the…

We define metric bundles/metric graph bundles which provide a purely topological/coarse-geometric generalization of the notion of trees of metric spaces a la Bestvina-Feighn in the special case that the inclusions of the edge spaces into…

For every finite simple connected graph $G = (V,E)$, we introduce an invariant, its blowup-polynomial $p_G(\{ n_v : v \in V \})$. This is obtained by dividing the determinant of the distance matrix of its blowup graph $G[{\bf n}]$…

An ordered hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered, and a convex geometric hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is cyclically ordered. Extremal problems for ordered and convex geometric graphs have a rich…

A simple graph $G=(V,E)$ admits an $H$-covering if every edge in $E$ is contained in a subgraph $H'=(V',E')$ of $G$ which is isomorphic to $H$. In this case we say that $G$ is $H$-supermagic if there is a bijection $f:V\cup…

The best merge problem in industrial data science generates instances where disparate data sources place incompatible relational structures on the same set $V$ of objects. Graph vertex labelling data may include (1) missing or erroneous…
