Minkowski mixed volume of n subpolytopes D1,…,Dn of a polytope P⊂Rn clearly does not exceed the normalized volume n!Vol(P). Equality holds if and only if the subpolytopes are interlaced, i.e., each proper face F⊊P intersects at least dim(F)+1 of the polytopes Di. Efficiently computing mixed volumes for more general collections of subpolytopes is crucial for estimating the complexity of numerically solving polynomial systems.
Motivated by relaxing the bound dim(F)+1 to dim(F), we prove a combinatorial formula for the mixed volume of a broad class of semi-interlaced polytopes. This class includes, in particular, the off-coordinate polytopes used in computing algebraic degrees—such as Maximum Likelihood, Euclidean Distance, and Polar degrees—via the Kouchnirenko–Bernshtein theory. We also present applications of our results to the Arnold monotonicity problem (Problem 1982-16), which concerns the dependence of Milnor numbers on the Newton polyhedra

Saito theory associates to an isolated singularity rich structure that plays an important role in mirror symmetry. In this note we construct Saito theory for A and D type Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds. Namely, for the pairs (f,G), where f defines an isolated singularity of A and D type and G is a group of symmetries of ...

We prove Pi-1-1-hardness, and thus lack of recursive axiomatizability, of constant-domain modal predicate logics defined by a class of Dedekind complete linear Kripke frames containing a frame with an infinitely increasing chain of worlds. The result holds even for the language with one unary predicate letter, one propositional letter, and two individual variables. ...

We prove a recent conjecture of the fourth named author with P. Norbury that states a system of universal polynomial relations among the kappa classes on the moduli spaces of algebraic curves. The proof involves localization and materialization analysis of the spin Gromov–Witten theory of the projective line and is dictated by Z 2 -equivariant ...

We prove that for any initial data on a genus zero spectral curve the cor responding correlation differentials of topological recursion are KP integrable. As an application we prove KP integrability of partition functions associated via ELSV-type formulas to the r-th roots of the twisted powers of the log canonical bundles ...

Механизм происходящих в мире изменений носит эволюционный, а не экологический характер. Иначе говоря, Человечество столкнулось с кризисом развития, который имеет три независимые составляющие: кризис индустриального общества (фазовый кризис), кризис научного мышления (эпистемный кризис) и кризис формата существования разума (социосистемный кризис). Доклад посвящён аспектам этого триединого кризиса и возможным путям его преодоления, не сводящимся к первичному ...

Let G/B be a flag variety over ℂ, where G is a simple algebraic group with a simply laced Dynkin diagram, and B is a Borel subgroup. We say that the product of classes of Schubert divisors in the Chow ring is multiplicity free if it is possible to multiply it by a Schubert class ...

We give a proof of Mukai’s theorem on the existence of certain exceptional vector bundles on prime Fano threefolds. To our knowledge this is the first complete proof in the literature. The result is essential for Mukai’s biregular classification of prime Fano threefolds, and for the existence of semiorthogonal decompositions in their derived categories. Our ...

We prove that the Kuznetsov–Polishchuk exceptional collections on rational homogeneous spaces of the symplectic groups Sp(2n,C) are full and consist of vector bundles. To achieve this, we construct several classes of complexes, which we call generalized staircase complexes, symplectic staircase complexes and secondary staircase complexes — each of which may be of independent interest. ...

We prove that for every relatively prime pair of integers (d,r) with r>0, there exists an exceptional pair (O,V) on any del Pezzo surface of degree 4, such that V is a bundle of rank r and degree d.

We continue the study of automorphic functions associated with a curve C over the ring k[ε]/(ε²), where k is a finite field, begun in arXiv:2303.16259. Namely, we study an example of theta-lifting in this framework and show that it can be understood in terms of the orbit decomposition of the space of automorphic functions S(SL₂(F)\SL₂(A_C)) ...

A radio-physical system, namely, a two-mode van der Pol generator, is considered. It is shown that this system demonstrates two types of chaos: with one and two zero Lyapunov exponents. The regions of the second type of chaos are surrounded by bifurcation lines of invariant tori doubling. Quasi-periodic structures of various shapes are embedded within ...

A B-facet is a lattice -dimensional polytope in the positive octant with a positive normal covector, such that every -dimensional simplex with vertices in it is a B-simplex (i.e., a pyramid of height one with base on a coordinate hyperplane). B-facets were introduced in [2] in the context of the monodromy conjecture. In this paper, we complete the ...

We construct a certain $F_2$-valued analogue of the mixed volume of lattice polytopes. This 2-mixed volume cannot be defined as a polarization of any kind of an additive measure, or characterized by any kind of its monotonicity properties, because neither of the two makes sense over $F_2$. In this sense, the convex-geometric nature of the ...

If the complement of a closed convex set in a closed convex cone is bounded, then this complement minus the apex of the cone is called a coconvex set. Coconvex sets appear in singularity theory (they are closely related to Newton diagrams) and in commutative algebra. Such invariants of coconvex sets as volumes, mixed volumes, ...
