Absolute incidence theorems and tilings
Lukas Kühne, Matt Larson
We give a precise definition of incidence theorems in plane projective geometry and introduce the notion of ``absolute incidence theorems,'' which hold over any ring. Fomin and Pyl…

Vanishing theorems for combinatorial geometries
Christopher Eur, Alex Fink, Matt Larson
We establish strong vanishing theorems for line bundles on wonderful varieties of hyperplane arrangements, and we show that the resulting positivity properties of Euler characteris…

Complementary vectors of simplicial complexes
Matt Larson, Alan Stapledon
We classify the complementary vectors of doubly Cohen-Macaulay complexes. This proves a conjecture of Swartz, negatively answers a question of Athanasiadis and Tzanaki, and gives n…
