Proof of Two Combinatorial Results Arising in Algebraic Geometry
For a labeled tree on the vertex set [n] := {1, 2, . . . , n}, define the direction of each edge ij as i → j if i < j. The indegree sequence λ = 1122 . . . is then a partition of n−1. Let aλ be the number of trees on [n] with indegree sequence λ. In a recent paper (arXiv:0706.2049v2) Cotterill stumbled across the following two remarkable formulas aλ = (n− 1)! (n− k)!e1!(1!)1e2!(2!)2 . . . and
متن کاملFrom combinatorial optimization to real algebraic geometry and back
In this paper, we explain the relations between combinatorial optimization and real algebraic geometry with a special focus to the quadratic assignment problem. We demonstrate how to write a quadratic optimization problem over discrete feasible set as a linear optimization problem over the cone of completely positive matrices. The latter formulation enables a hierarchy of approximations which r...

Exercise 1.1. The Poincaré dual basis for {1, ζ, . . . , ζn−1} in H GP n−1 is {ζ + c1ζ n−2 + · · ·+ cn−1, ζ n−2 + c1ζ n−3 + · · ·+ cn−2, . . . , ζ + c1ζ + c2, ζ + c1, 1}. (Note that p∗(ζ n−1) = 1, and p∗(ζ i) = 0 for i < n− 1.) We also saw that if a torus T acts on Cn by characters χ1, . . . , χn, then H TP n−1 = ΛT [ζ]/( ∏n i=1(ζ + χi)). Example 1.2. The torus T = (C∗)n/C∗ acts on Pn−1, but in...
متن کاملTwo Counterexamples in Low-dimensional Length Geometry
One of the key properties of the length of a curve is its lower semicontinuity : if a sequence of curves γi converges to a curve γ, then length(γ) ≤ lim inf length(γi). Here the weakest type of pointwise convergence suffices. There are higher-dimensional analogs of this semicontinuity for Riemannian (and even Finsler) metrics. For instance, the Besicovitch inequality (see, e.g., [1] and [4]) im...
متن کاملThe Quest for Counterexamples in Toric Geometry
We discuss an experimental approach to open problems in toric geometry: are smooth projective toric varieties (i) arithmetically normal and (ii) defined by degree 2 equations? We discuss the creation of lattice polytopes defining smooth toric varieties as well as algorithms checking properties (i) and (ii) and further potential properties, in Particular a weaker version of (ii) asking for schem...
