A dimer view on Fox's trapezoidal conjecture

Karola Mészáros, Melissa Sherman-Bennett, Alexander Vidinas

Fox's conjecture (1962) states that the sequence of absolute values of the coefficients of the Alexander polynomial of alternating links is trapezoidal. While the conjecture remain…

Trapezodial property of the generalized Alexander polynomial

Tamás Kálmán, Karola Mészáros, Alexander Postnikov

Fox's conjecture from 1962, that the absolute values of the coefficients of the Alexander polynomial of an alternating link are trapezoidal, has remained stubbornly open to this da…

Dimer face polynomials in knot theory and cluster algebras

Karola Mészáros, Gregg Musiker, Melissa Sherman-Bennett +1

The set of perfect matchings of a connected bipartite plane graph has the structure of a distributive lattice, as shown by Propp, where the partial order is induced by the heig…

On the Alexander polynomial of special alternating links

Elena S. Hafner, Karola Mészáros, Alexander Vidinas

The Alexander polynomial (1928) is the first polynomial invariant of links devised to help distinguish links up to isotopy. Fox's conjecture (1962) -- stating that the absolute val…

M-convexity of Grothendieck polynomials via bubbling

Elena S. Hafner, Karola Mészáros, Linus Setiabrata +1

We introduce bubbling diagrams and show that they compute the support of the Grothendieck polynomial of any vexillary permutation. Using these diagrams, we show that the support of…

Inclusion-exclusion on Schubert polynomials

Karola Mészáros, Arthur Tanjaya

We prove that an inclusion-exclusion inspired expression of Schubert polynomials of permutations that avoid the patterns 1432 and 1423 is nonnegative. Our theorem implies a partial…
