A novel combinatorial formula is developed for for tensor product multiplicities in representation theory. We introduce a difference formula linking these multiplicities to restricted occupancy coefficients via a shifted operator. This…

The cross-ratio degree problem counts configurations of n points on P^1 with n-3 prescribed cross-ratios. Cross-ratio degrees arise in many corners of combinatorics and geometry, but their structure is not well-understood in general.…

Realization theory for operator colligations on Pontryagin spaces is used to study interpolation and factorization in generalized Schur classes. Several criteria are derived which imply that a given function is almost the restriction of a…

L. Lovasz has shown that Sperner's combinatorial lemma admits a generalization involving a matroid defined on the set of vertices of the associated triangulation. Inspired by this result we prove that classical Ky Fan's theorem admits an…

We give a cohomological and geometrical interpretation for the weighted Ehrhart theory of a full-dimensional lattice polytope $P$, with Laurent polynomial weights of geometric origin. For this purpose, we calculate the motivic Chern and…

A paper of the first author and Zilke proposed seven combinatorial problems around formulas for the characteristic polynomial and the exponents of an isolated quasihomogeneous singularity. The most important of them was a conjecture on the…

A general class of Newton algorithms on Gra{\ss}mann and Lagrange-Gra{\ss}mann manifolds is introduced, that depends on an arbitrary pair of local coordinates. Local quadratic convergence of the algorithm is shown under a suitable condition…

We analyze Chiodo's formulas for the Chern classes related to the r-th roots of the suitably twisted integer powers of the canonical class on the moduli space of curves. The intersection numbers of these classes with psi-classes are…

We consider Koornwinder's method for constructing orthogonal polynomials in two variables from orthogonal polynomials in one variable. If semiclassical orthogonal polynomials in one variable are used, then Koornwinder's construction…

We establish a polynomial recursion formula for linear Hodge integrals. It is obtained as the Laplace transform of the cut-and-join equation for the simple Hurwitz numbers. We show that the recursion recovers the Witten-Kontsevich theorem…

We will prove the Brannan conjecture for particular values of the parameter. The basic tool of the study is an integral representation published in a recent work [3].

We use Segal-Mitchison's cohomology of topological groups to define a convenient model for topological gerbes. We introduce multiplicative gerbes over topological groups in this setup and we define its representations. For a specific choice…

For each space X we define an explicit group, G(X), functorially in X. This group is constructed from the groups of cochains on X. Furthermore, we construct an explicit functorial pairing with values in R/Z between the cochain…

We show that the Woronowicz prescription using a bimodule constructed out of a tensorial product of a bimodule and its conjugate and a bi-coinvariant singlet leads to a trivial differential calculus.

Motivated by the intersection theory of moduli spaces of curves, we introduce psi classes in matroid Chow rings and prove a number of properties that naturally generalize properties of psi classes in Chow rings of Losev-Manin spaces. We use…

We introduce the notion of a categorical valuative invariant of polyhedra or matroids, in which alternating sums of numerical invariants are replaced by split exact sequences in an additive category. We provide categorical lifts of a number…

In the case of two combinatorial polynomials, we show that they can exhibited as moments of paramaterized families of orthogonal polynomials, and hence derive their Hankel transforms. Exponential Riordan arrays are the main vehicles used…

We argue that the chirotope concept of oriented matroid theory may be found in different scenarios of physics, including classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, gauge field theory, p-branes formalism, two time physics and Matrix theory. Our…

In this short note, we propose an unified method to derive formulas for derivations conjugated by exponential functions on an almost complex manifold. In v3, we corrected some mistakes in previous versions.

Polymatroids are combinatorial abstractions of subspace arrangements in the same way that matroids are combinatorial abstractions of hyperplane arrangements. By introducing augmented Chow rings of polymatroids, modeled after augmented…
