A note on bounded ratios
Lorenzo Baldi, Mario Kummer
We prove that the set of bounded ratios $\BR(X)$ on a semialgebraic set is the convex cone of linear forms that are nonnegative on the tropicalization $\trop(X)…
Lorentzian polynomials and matroids over triangular hyperfields 2: Analytic aspects
Matthew Baker, June Huh, Mario Kummer +1
Brändén and Huh showed that Lorentzian polynomials unify Hodge-Riemann relations in combinatorics: their supports are M-convex, and every M-convex set supports a Lorentzian polynom…
Lorentzian polynomials and matroids over triangular hyperfields 1: Topological aspects
Matthew Baker, June Huh, Mario Kummer +1
Lorentzian polynomials serve as a bridge between continuous and discrete convexity, connecting analysis and combinatorics. In this article, we study the topology of the space $\mat…
Representation theory for polymatroids
Matthew Baker, June Huh, Donggyu Kim +2
We develop a theory of representations of (discrete) polymatroids over tracts in terms of Plücker coordinates and suitable Plücker relations. As special cases, we recover polymatro…
Three results related to the half-plane property of matroids
Mario Kummer, David Sawall
We settle three problems from the literature on stable and real zero polynomials and their connection to matroid theory. We disprove the weak real zero amalgamation conjecture by S…
