Catalan objects associated to a univariate polynomial
Given a monic degree $n$ polynomial $f(z)$ with no double roots, and a phase $0\leq \theta < \pi$, there are natural constructions which associate to this data:
a noncrossing matching on $2n$ ...

"Cluster algebra" structure for finite distributive lattices
Let $P$ be an $n$-element poset and $J(P)$ the distributive lattice of its order ideals (i.e., the downwards-closed sets).
For each $I\in J(P)$ let $x_I \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be the indicator function ...

Positivity conjecture for Somos sequences
Let $\{s_n\}$ be the Somos-$4$ sequence, which is defined by $$s_{n+4}s_n=\alpha s_{n+3}s_{n+1}+\beta s_n^2.$$ It is known that $s_n$ is a Laurent polynomial: $s_n\in\mathbb{Z}[s_1^{\pm1}, \ldots, s_4^...

The Grassmann twist-map, an associated semi-group action, and RSK
Let me begin by setting some notation: Let $\mathrm{Mat}_{k,n}(\Bbb{R})$ denote the vector space of all $k \times n$
real-valued matrices. Given $g \in \mathrm{Mat}_{k,n}(\Bbb{R})$ and two (ordered) ...

Does singularity confinement imply a fixed pattern of irreducible factors?
Consider a rational map
$f \colon (x_1,\ldots,x_n) \mapsto (P_1(x_1,\ldots,x_n),\ldots,P_n(x_1,\ldots,x_n))$, where the $P_i$ are rational functions. Via iteration this map defines a discrete ...
