Ulrich sheaves, the arithmetic writhe and algebraic isotopies of space curves

Daniele Agostini, Mario Kummer

We establish a connection between the theory of Ulrich sheaves and -homotopy theory. For instance, we prove that the -degree of a morphism between proje…

Some thoughts and experiments on Bergman's compact amalgamation problem

Michael Joswig, Mario Kummer, Andreas Thom +1

We study the question whether copies of in can be amalgamated in a compact group. This is the simplest instance of a fundamental open problem in the theory o…

Bounding the signed count of real bitangents to plane quartics

Mario Kummer, Stephen McKean

Using methods from enriched enumerative geometry, Larson and Vogt gave a signed count of the number of real bitangents to real smooth plane quartics. This signed count depends on a…

A signed count of 2-torsion points on real abelian varieties

Mario Kummer

We prove that a natural signed count of the -torsion points on a real principally polarized abelian variety always equals to where is the dimension of . When…

Spectrahedral Shadows and Completely Positive Maps on Real Closed Fields

Manuel Bodirsky, Mario Kummer, Andreas Thom

In this article we develop new methods for exhibiting convex semialgebraic sets that are not spectrahedral shadows. We characterize when the set of nonnegative polynomials with a g…

Equivariant algebraic and semi-algebraic geometry of infinite affine space

Mario Kummer, Cordian Riener

We study -orbit closures of not necessarily closed points in the Zariski spectrum of the infinite polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x_{ij}:\, i\in\mathbb{N},\,j\in[…

Linear Principal Minor Polynomials: Hyperbolic Determinantal Inequalities and Spectral Containment

Grigoriy Blekherman, Mario Kummer, Raman Sanyal +2

A linear principal minor polynomial or lpm polynomial is a linear combination of principal minors of a symmetric matrix. By restricting to the diagonal, lpm polynomials are in bije…

Matroids on Eight Elements with the Half-plane Property and Related Concepts

Mario Kummer, Büşra Sert

We classify all matroids with at most 8 elements that have the half-plane property, and we provide a list of some matroids on 9 elements that have, and that do not have the half-pl…

Geography of pinched four-manifolds

Renato G. Bettiol, Mario Kummer, Ricardo A. E. Mendes

We prove several new restrictions on the Euler characteristic and signature of oriented 4-manifolds with (positively or negatively) pinched sectional curvature. In particular, we s…

Iso Edge Domains

Mathieu Dutour Sikirić, Mario Kummer

Iso-edge domains are a variant of the iso-Delaunay decomposition introduced by Voronoi. They were introduced by Baranovskii & Ryshkov in order to solve the covering problem in dime…

Real-fibered morphisms of del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles

Mario Kummer, Cédric Le Texier, Matilde Manzaroli

It goes back to Ahlfors that a real algebraic curve admits a real-fibered morphism to the projective line if and only if the real part of the curve disconnects its complex part. In…

Nodes on quintic spectrahedra

Taylor Brysiewicz, Khazhgali Kozhasov, Mario Kummer

We classify transversal quintic spectrahedra by the location of 20 nodes on the respective real determinantal surface of degree 5. We identify 65 classes of such surfaces and find…

A generalization of the space of complete quadrics

Abeer Al Ahmadieh, Mario Kummer, Miruna-Stefana Sorea

To any homogeneous polynomial we naturally associate a variety which maps birationally onto the graph of the gradient map and which agrees with the space…

Spectral linear matrix inequalities

Mario Kummer

We prove, under a certain representation theoretic assumption, that the set of real symmetric matrices, whose eigenvalues satisfy a linear matrix inequality, is itself a spectrahed…

Positive Ulrich Sheaves

Christoph Hanselka, Mario Kummer

We provide a criterion for a coherent sheaf to be an Ulrich sheaf in terms of a certain bilinear form on its global sections. When working over the real numbers we call it a positi…

Rational functions with only real periodic points

Khazhgali Kozhasov, Mario Kummer

We study self-morphisms of smooth real projective algebraic curves that have only real periodic points. In the case of the projective line we provide a convenient characterization…

Hyperbolic Secant Varieties of M-Curves

Mario Kummer, Rainer Sinn

We relate the geometry of curves to the notion of hyperbolicity in real algebraic geometry. A hyperbolic variety is a real algebraic variety that (in particular) admits a real fibe…

Convex Algebraic Geometry of Curvature Operators

Renato G. Bettiol, Mario Kummer, Ricardo A. E. Mendes

We study the structure of the set of algebraic curvature operators satisfying a sectional curvature bound under the light of the emerging field of Convex Algebraic Geometry. More p…

The multidimensional truncated Moment Problem: Carathéodory Numbers from Hilbert Functions

Philipp J. di Dio, Mario Kummer

In this paper we improve the bounds for the Carathéodory number, especially on algebraic varieties and with small gaps (not all monomials are present). We provide explicit lower an…

Spectrahedral representations of plane hyperbolic curves

Mario Kummer, Simone Naldi, Daniel Plaumann

We describe a new method for constructing a spectrahedral representation of the hyperbolicity region of a hyperbolic curve in the real projective plane. As a consequence, we show t…

Generalized eigenvalue methods for Gaussian quadrature rules

Grigoriy Blekherman, Mario Kummer, Cordian Riener +2

A quadrature rule of a measure on the real line represents a convex combination of finitely many evaluations at points, called nodes, that agrees with integration against f…

Totally real theta characteristics

Mario Kummer

A totally real theta characteristic of a real curve is a theta characteristic which is linearly equivalent to a sum of only real points. These are closely related to the facets of…

Schottky Algorithms: Classical meets Tropical

Lynn Chua, Mario Kummer, Bernd Sturmfels

We present a new perspective on the Schottky problem that links numerical computing with tropical geometry. The task is to decide whether a symmetric matrix defines a Jacobian, and…
