Combinatorial Models for the Finite-Dimensional Grassmannians.
In a highly influential paper, Bidigare, Hanlon and Rockmore showed that a number of popular Markov chains are random walks on the faces of a hyperplane arrangement. Their analysis of these Markov chains took advantage of the monoid structure on the set of faces. This theory was later extended by Brown to a larger class of monoids called left regular bands. In both cases, the representation theory of these monoids played a prominent role. In particular, it was used to compute the spectrum of the...
Let be a Riemannian 4-manifold. The associated twistor space is a bundle whose total space admits a natural metric. The aim of this article is to study properties of complex structures on which are compatible with the fibration and the metric. The results obtained enable us to translate some metric properties on (scalar flat, scalar-flat Kähler...) in terms of complex properties of its twistor space .
By analyzing the connection between complex Hadamard matrices and spectral sets, we prove the direction "spectral ⇒ tile" of the Spectral Set Conjecture, for all sets A of size |A| ≤ 5, in any finite Abelian group. This result is then extended to the infinite grid Zd for any dimension d, and finally to Rd.
In his work on log-concavity of multiplicities, Okounkov showed in passing that one could associate a convex body to a linear series on a projective variety, and then use convex geometry to study such linear systems. Although Okounkov was essentially working in the classical setting of ample line bundles, it turns out that the construction goes through for an arbitrary big divisor. Moreover, this viewpoint renders transparent many basic facts about asymptotic invariants of linear series, and opens...
The notion of convex set for subsets of lattices in one particular case was introduced in [1], where it was used to study Paretto's principle in the theory of group choice. This notion is based on a betweenness relation due to Glivenko [2]. Betweenness is used very widely in lattice theory as basis for lattice geometry (see [3], and, especially [4 part 1]).In the present paper the relative notions of convexity are considered for subsets of an arbitrary lattice.In section 1 certain relative notions...
