  1. Polytopes, Hopf algebras and Quasi-symmetric functions.

    Abstract

    In this paper we use the technique of Hopf algebras and quasi-symmetric
    functions to study the combinatorial polytopes. Consider the free abelian group
    $\mathcal{P}$ generated by all combinatorial polytopes. There are two natural
    bilinear operations on this group defined by a direct product $\times $ and a
    join $\divideontimes$ of polytopes. $(\mathcal{P},\times)$ is a commutative
    associative bigraded ring of polynomials, and $\mathcal{RP}=(\mathbb
    Z\varnothing\oplus\mathcal{P},\divideontimes)$ is a commutative associative
    threegraded ring of polynomials.

  2. Ring of Polytopes, Quasi-symmetric functions and Fibonacci numbers.

    Abstract

    In this paper we study the ring $\mathcal{P}$ of combinatorial convex
    polytopes. We introduce the algebra of operators $\mathcal{D}$ generated by the
    operators $d_k$ that send an $n$-dimensional polytope $P^n$ to the sum of all
    its $(n-k)$-dimensional faces.

  3. Toric Genera.

    Abstract

    Our aim is to develop topological analogues of an ongoing programme in toric
    geometry, which seeks to express arithmetic, elliptic, and related genera of
    toric varieties as functions of their fans. In this context, we introduce
    methods for computing equivariant genera of omnioriented quasitoric manifolds M
    purely in terms of the combinatorial data (P,\Lambda) by which such M are
    determined. We develop the theory around the universal example \Phi, which was
    introduced independently by Krichever and Loeffler in 1974, albeit from
    radically different viewpoints.
