Tangency quantum cohomology and characteristic numbers
This work establishes a connection between gravitational quantum cohomology and enumerative geometry of rational curves (in a projective homogeneous variety) subject to conditions of infinitesimal nature like, for example, tangency.

COMBINATORIAL ANALYSIS OF THE DOMINOES SCHEME AND THE CASE OF FIXED MINIMAL FIGURE ON A DOMINO TILE
The dominoes scheme is defined as a scheme of random tiling with poliomino tiles with $r$ ends and $n$ figures from 0 to $(n-1)$ on the ends of tiles of all possible compositions with repetitions, regardless of their order.

Unimodality Problems in Ehrhart Theory
Ehrhart theory is the study of sequences recording the number of integer points in non-negative integral dilates of rational polytopes. For a given lattice polytope, this sequence is encoded in a finite vector called the Ehrhart $h^*$-vector. Ehrhart $h^*

Some applications of Rees products of posets to equivariant gamma-positivity [PDF]
The Rees product of partially ordered sets was introduced by Bj\"orner and Welker. Using the theory of lexicographic shellability, Linusson, Shareshian and Wachs proved formulas, of significance in the theory of gamma-positivity, for the dimension of the

New directions in enumerative chess problems [PDF]
Normally a chess problem must have a unique solution, and is deemed unsound even if there are alternatives that differ only in the order in which the same moves are played.

The Role of Dice in the Emergence of the Probability Calculus
Summary The early development of the probability calculus was clearly influenced by the roll of dice. However, while dice have been cast since time immemorial, documented calculations on the frequency of various dice throws date back only to the mid‐13th century.

Simple 3‐Designs of PSL ( 2 , 2 n ) With Block Size 13
ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the investigation of simple 3‐( 2 n + 1 , 13 , λ ) designs admitting PSL ( 2 , 2 n ) as an automorphism group. Such designs arise from the orbits of 13‐element subsets under the action of PSL ( 2 , 2 n ) on the projective line X = GF ( 2 n ) ∪ { ∞ }, and any union of these orbits also forms a 3‐design.

Transitive factorizations of permutations and geometry [PDF]
We give an account of our work on transitive factorizations of permutations. The work has had impact upon other areas of mathematics such as the enumeration of graph embeddings, random matrices, branched covers, and the moduli spaces of curves.

Enumeration of simple random walks and tridiagonal matrices
We present some old and new results in the enumeration of random walks in one dimension, mostly developed in works of enumerative combinatorics. The relation between the trace of the $n$-th power of a tridiagonal matrix and the enumeration of weighted ...
