Karim in his youth with a fan Congratulations, Karim! Update: Here is the link to the paper From the arXive, Dec 26, 2018. (Link will be added tomorrow.) COMBINATORIAL LEFSCHETZ THEOREMS BEYOND POSITIVITY by Karim Adiprasito Abstract: Consider a simplicial complex … Continue reading
Beyond the g-conjecture – algebraic combinatorics of cellular spaces I
The g-conjecture for spheres is surely the one single conjecture I worked on more than on any other, and also here on the blog we had a sequence of posts about it by Eran Nevo (I,II,III,IV). Here is a great … Continue reading

Eran Nevo: g-conjecture part 4, Generalizations and Special Cases
This is the fourth in a series of posts by Eran Nevo on the g-conjecture. Eran’s first post was devoted to the combinatorics of the g-conjecture and was followed by a further post by me on the origin of the g-conjecture. Eran’s second post was about … Continue reading

Convex Polytopes: Seperation, Expansion, Chordality, and Approximations of Smooth Bodies
I am happy to report on two beautiful results on convex polytopes. One disproves an old conjecture of mine and one proves an old conjecture of mine. Loiskekoski and Ziegler: Simple polytopes without small separators. Does Lipton-Tarjan’s theorem extends to high … Continue reading

How the g-Conjecture Came About
Update: Slides from a great 2014 lecture on the g-conjecture by Lou Billera in the conference celebrating Richard Stanley’s 70th birthday. This post complements Eran Nevo’s first post on the -conjecture 1) Euler’s theorem Euler Euler’s famous formula for the … Continue reading
