The regularity of almost all edge ideals

Alexander Engström, Milo Orlich

A fruitful contemporary paradigm in graph theory is that almost all graphs that do not contain a certain subgraph have common structural characteristics. The "almost" is crucial, w…

Standard complexes of matroids and lattice paths

Alexander Engström, Raman Sanyal, Christian Stump

Motivated by Gröbner basis theory for finite point configurations, we define and study the class of "standard complexes" associated to a matroid. Standard complexes are certain sub…

Graded Expectations: Betti numbers and anti-lecture hall compositions of random threshold graphs

Alexander Engström, Christian Go, Matthew T. Stamps

This paper examines the one-to-one-to-one correspondence between threshold graphs, Betti numbers of quotients of polynomial rings by -linear ideals, and anti-lecture hall compos…

Transfer-Matrix Methods meet Ehrhart Theory

Alexander Engström, Florian Kohl

Transfer-Matrix Methods originated in physics where they were used to count the number of allowed particle states on a structure whose width is a parameter. Typically, the numb…

Maximum Number of Modes of Gaussian Mixtures

Carlos Améndola, Alexander Engström, Christian Haase

Gaussian mixture models are widely used in Statistics. A fundamental aspect of these distributions is the study of the local maxima of the density, or modes. In particular, it is n…

Geometric juggling with q-analogues

Alexander Engström, Lasse Leskelä, Harri Varpanen

We derive a combinatorial equilibrium for bounded juggling patterns with a random, -geometric throw distribution. The dynamics are analyzed via rook placements on staircase Ferr…
