We prove that every lower unitriangular and totally nonnegative matrix gives rise to a family of polynomials with only real zeros. This has consequences for problems in several areas of mathematics. We use it to develop a general theory for chain enumeration in posets and zeros of chain polynomials. The results obtained extend and unify results of the first author, Brenti, Welker and Athanasiadis. In the process we define a notion of h-vector for a large class of posets which generalize the notions of h-vectors associated to simplicial and cubical complexes. A consequence of our methods is a characterization of the convex hull of all characteristic polynomials of hyperplane arrangements of fixed dimension and over a fixed finite field. This may be viewed as a refinement of the Critical Problem of Crapo and Rota.
We also use the methods developed to solve an open problem posed by Forgács and Tran on the real-rootedness of polynomials arising from certain bivariate rational functions.

We compute the mod and mod THH of many variants of the image-of-J spectrum. In particular, we do this for , whose TC is closely related to the K-theory of the -local sphere. We find in particular that the failure for THH to satisfy -Galois descent for the extension corresponds to the failure of the p-adic circle to be its own free loop space. For , we also prove the Segal conjecture for , and we compute the K-theory of the -local sphere in degrees .

We define a notion of ∞-properads that generalizes ∞-operads by allowing operations with multiple outputs. Specializing to the case where each operation has a single output provides a simple new perspective on ∞-operads, but at the same time the extra generality allows for examples such as bordism categories. We also give an interpretation of our ∞-properads as Segal presheaves on a category of graphs by comparing them to the Segal ∞-properads of Hackney–Robertson–Yau. Combining these two approaches yields a flexible tool for doing higher algebra with operations that have multiple inputs and outputs. Crucially, this allows for a definition of algebras over an ∞-properad such that, for example, topological field theories are algebras over the bordism ∞-properad.
The key ingredient to this paper is the notion of an equifibered map between -monoids, which is a well-behaved generalization of free maps. We also use this to prove facts about free -monoids, for example that free -monoids are closed under pullbacks along arbitrary maps.

We prove a relative version over of Nash-Tognoli theorem, that is: Let M be a compact smooth manifold with closed smooth submanifolds in general position, then there exists a nonsingular real algebraic set with nonsingular algebraic subsets and a diffeomorphism such that for all such that are described, both globally and locally, by polynomial equations with rational coefficients. In addition, if are nonsingular algebraic sets, then we prove the diffeomorphism can be chosen semialgebraic and the result can be extended to the noncompact case. In the proof we describe also the -homological cycles of real embedded Grassmannian manifolds by nonsingular algebraic representatives over via the Bott-Samelson resolution of Schubert varieties.

We investigate several naturally-arising random fractals from the perspective of quasisymmetric geometry, and show that they fall outside the realm of quasisymmetric uniformization to simple canonical spaces. We begin with Brownian motion and various forms of the Schramm-Loewner evolution for , showing that a.s. neither is a quasisymmetric to a straight line. We also study the conformal loop ensemble for , and show that the collection of all points outside the loops is a.s. homeomorphic to the standard Sierpiński carpet, but not quasisymmetrically equivalent to a round carpet.

The (favorable) Falkner-Skan boundary layer profiles are a one parameter () family of self-similar solutions to the stationary Prandtl system which describes the flow over a wedge with angle . The most famous member of this family is the endpoint Blasius profile, , which exhibits pressureless flow over a flat plate. In contrast, the profiles are physically expected to exhibit a favorable pressure gradient, a common adage in the physics literature. In this work, we prove quantitative scattering estimates as which precisely captures the effect of this favorable gradient through the presence of new “CK” (Cauchy-Kovalevskaya) terms that appear in a quasilinear energy cascade.

This paper solves the first of the open problems in topos theory posted by William Lawvere, concerning the existence of a Grothendieck topos that has proper class many quotient topoi. This paper concretely constructs such Grothendieck topoi, including the presheaf topos on the free monoid generated by countably infinitely many elements . Utilizing the combinatorics of the classifying topos of the theory of inhabited objects and with the help of a system of pairing functions, the problem is reduced to a theorem of Vopěnka, Pultr, and Hedrlín, which states that any set admits a rigid relational structure.

Let A be an abelian surface over an algebraically closed field with an embedding . When A is isogenous to a product of elliptic curves, we describe a large collection of pairwise non-isomorphic hyperelliptic curves mapping birationally into A. For infinitely many integers , this collection has infinitely many curves of genus g, and no two curves in the collection have the same image under any isogeny from A. Using these hyperelliptic curves, we find many rational equivalences in the Chow group of zero-cycles . We use these results to give some progress towards Beilinson's conjecture for zero-cycles, which predicts that for a smooth projective variety X over the kernel of the Albanese map of X is zero.

This paper revolves around the existence of V-states close to Rankine vortices for active scalar equations with completely monotone kernels. This allows to unify various results on this topic related to geophysical flows. A key ingredient is a new factorization formula for the spectrum using a universal function which is independent of the model. This function admits several interesting properties allowing to track the spectrum distribution.
