The equivariant Ehrhart theory of polytopes with order-two symmetries: Part II

Oliver Clarke

We give two counterexamples to Stapledon's Effectiveness Conjecture. Each counterexample is a -dimensional lattice polytope with an order-two symmetry whose equivariant -se…

The phylogenetic rank of a graph

Franklin Ashworth, Oliver Clarke, Jeffrey Giansiracusa +3

The Pachter-Sturmfels phylogenetic rank of a graph G is the minimal number of metric trees needed to embed G isometrically. Here, all edges of G are of length one and the product o…

Distance Reduction in Bouquet Decompositions and Toric Ideals of Graphs

Oliver Clarke, Dimitra Kosta, Alexander Milner

The distance-reduction property for a generating set, i.e., a Markov basis, of a toric ideal is a condition that ensures tight connectivity of its fibres. In this paper, we study t…

Computing all minimal Markov bases in Macaulay2

Oliver Clarke, Alexander Milner

We introduce the package allMarkovBases for Macaulay2, which is used to compute all minimal Markov bases of a given toric ideal. The package builds on functionality of 4ti2 by prod…

Minimal cellular resolutions of powers of matching field ideals

Oliver Clarke, Fatemeh Mohammadi

We study a family of monomial ideals, called block diagonal matching field ideals, which arise as monomial Gröbner degenerations of determinantal ideals. Our focus is on the minima…

Liftable Point-Line Configurations: Defining Equations and Irreducibility of Associated Matroid and Circuit Varieties

Oliver Clarke, Giacomo Masiero, Fatemeh Mohammadi

We study point-line configurations through the lens of projective geometry and matroid theory. Our focus is on their realisation spaces, where we introduce the concepts of liftable…

Matching Fields in Macaulay2

Oliver Clarke

This article introduces the package MatchingFields for Macaulay2 and highlights some open problems. A matching field is a combinatorial object whose data encodes a candidate toric…

SubalgebraBases in Macaulay2

Michael Burr, Oliver Clarke, Timothy Duff +3

We describe a recently revived version of the software package SubalgberaBases, which is distributed in the Macaulay2 computer algebra system. The package allows the user to comput…

Restricted Chain-Order Polytopes via Combinatorial Mutations

Oliver Clarke, Akihiro Higashitani, Francesca Zaffalon

We study restricted chain-order polytopes associated to Young diagrams using combinatorial mutations. These polytopes are obtained by intersecting chain-order polytopes with certai…

The equivariant Ehrhart theory of polytopes with order-two symmetries

Oliver Clarke, Akihiro Higashitani, Max Kölbl

We study the equivariant Ehrhart theory of families of polytopes that are invariant under a non-trivial action of the group with order two. We study families of polytopes whose equ…

Combinatorial Mutations of Gelfand-Tsetlin Polytopes, Feigin-Fourier-Littelmann-Vinberg Polytopes, and Block Diagonal Matching Field Polytopes

Oliver Clarke, Akihiro Higashitani, Fatemeh Mohammadi

The Gelfand-Tsetlin and the Feigin-Fourier-Littelmann-Vinberg polytopes for the Grassmannians are defined, from the perspective of representation theory, to parametrize certain bas…

Toric degenerations of partial flag varieties and combinatorial mutations of matching field polytopes

Oliver Clarke, Fatemeh Mohammadi, Francesca Zaffalon

We study toric degenerations arising from Gröbner degenerations or the tropicalization of partial flag varieties. We produce a new family of toric degenerations of partial flag var…
