The Minlos lemma for positive-definite functions on additive subgroups of n

W. Banaszczyk (1997)

Studia Mathematica

Let H be a real Hilbert space. It is well known that a positive-definite function φ on H is the Fourier transform of a Radon measure on the dual space if (and only if) φ is continuous in the Sazonov topology (resp. the Gross topology) on H. Let G be an additive subgroup of H and let G p c (resp. G b ) be the character group endowed with the topology of uniform convergence on precompact (resp. bounded) subsets of G. It is proved that if a positive-definite function φ on G is continuous in the Gross topology,...

The moduli space of n tropically collinear points in Rd.

Mike Develin (2005)

Collectanea Mathematica

The tropical semiring (R, min, +) has enjoyed a recent renaissance, owing to its connections to mathematical biology as well as optimization and algebraic geometry. In this paper, we investigate the space of labeled n-point configurations lying on a tropical line in d-space, which is interpretable as the space of n-species phylogenetic trees. This is equivalent to the space of n x d matrices of tropical rank two, a simplicial complex. We prove that this simplicial complex is shellable for dimension...

The number of vertices of a Fano polytope

Cinzia Casagrande (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let X be a Gorenstein, -factorial, toric Fano variety. We prove two conjectures on the maximal Picard number of X in terms of its dimension and its pseudo-index, and characterize the boundary cases. Equivalently, we determine the maximal number of vertices of a simplicial reflexive polytope.

The Polytope of m-Subspaces of a Finite Affine Space

Julie Christophe, Jean-Paul Doignon (2007)

RAIRO - Operations Research

The m-subspace polytope is defined as the convex hull of the characteristic vectors of all m-dimensional subspaces of a finite affine space. The particular case of the hyperplane polytope has been investigated by Maurras (1993) and Anglada and Maurras (2003), who gave a complete characterization of the facets. The general m-subspace polytope that we consider shows a much more involved structure, notably as regards facets. Nevertheless, several families of facets are established here. Then the...
