The main result of J. Gwozdziewicz in this paper says the following: "Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $f:k[x,y] \to k[x,y]$, $(x,y) \mapsto (p,q)$, be a $k$-...

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, and assume that $p,q \in k[x,y]$ is a Jacobian pair, namely, $p_xq_y-p_yq_x \in k^*$ (= the determinant of the Jacobi matrix $\in k^*$). It is known that ...

Let $v_i=a_ie_i\in\mathbb R^d$ and $w_i=b_ie_i\in\mathbb R^d$ for $i=1,\dots,d$ where $e_i$'s are unit vetcors and $a_i,b_i$ are positive integers. Let $$S=conv\{0,rv_i+sw_i:i=1,\dots,d\}.$$ Can we ...

Suppose we have a smooth, complete toric varietiy $X_{\Sigma}$ of dimension $n$. Let $\sigma_k \in \Sigma(k)$ a smooth $k$-dimensional cone in $\Sigma$ and suppose we make the toric blow up at the ...

Richard Stanley keeps a famous running compilation of different guises of the celebrated Catalan numbers. The number of vertices of the associahedron is one instantiation among the multitude, and the ...
