The topology of the external activity complex of a matroid
We prove that the external activity complex of a matroid
is shellable. In fact, we show that every linear extension of LasVergnas's
external/internal order on provides a shelling of
. We also show that every linear extension of LasVergnas's
internal order on provides a shelling of the independence complex
. As a corollary, and have the same -vector.
We prove that, after removing its cone points, the external activity complex is
contractible if contains as a minor, and a sphere otherwise.Comment: Comments are welcom
Coxeter submodular functions and deformations of Coxeter permutahedra
We describe the cone of deformations of a Coxeter permutahedron, or
equivalently, the nef cone of the toric variety associated to a Coxeter
complex. This family of polytopes contains polyhedral models for the
Coxeter-theoretic analogs of compositions, graphs, matroids, posets, and
associahedra. Our description extends the known correspondence between
generalized permutahedra, polymatroids, and submodular functions to any finite
reflection group.Comment: Minor edits. To appear in Advances of Mathematic
Finiteness theorems for matroid complexes with prescribed topology
It is known that there are finitely many simplicial complexes (up to
isomorphism) with a given number of vertices. Translating to the language of
-vectors, there are finitely many simplicial complexes of bounded dimension
with for any natural number . In this paper we study the question at
the other end of the -vector: Are there only finitely many
-dimensional simplicial complexes with for any given ? The
answer is no if we consider general complexes, but when focus on three cases
coming from matroids: (i) independence complexes, (ii) broken circuit
complexes, and (iii) order complexes of geometric lattices. We prove the answer
is yes in cases (i) and (iii) and conjecture it is also true in case (ii).Comment: to appear in European Journal of Combinatoric
The Basic Statute for Public Employees: the Powers of the Autonomous Governments
El treball  que es presenta és un estudi de les competències autonòmiques en matèria d'ocupació  pública i, molt especialment, d'allò que es refereix a les competències assumides per Catalunya en virtut de les reformes estatutà ries esdevingudes en els últims anys i la incidència de la jurisprudència constitucional sobre aquestes reformes esdevinguda com a conseqüència de l'examen de la constitucionalitat del nou Estatut d'autonomia.El trabajo que se presenta es un estudio de las competencias autonómicas en materia de empleo público y, muy especialmente, en aquello que se refiere a las competencias asumidas por Cataluña en virtud de las reformas estatutarias acontecidas en los últimos años y la incidencia en las mismas de la jurisprudencia constitucional emitida como consecuencia del examen de la constitucionalidad del nuevo Estatuto de autonomÃa.This paper studies the powers of the governments of the autonomous regions with respect to public employment, in particular, 1) the powers taken on by Catalonia as a result of the statutory reforms of recent years, and 2) the impact on these powers of the constitutional case law that has developed as a result of the challenges to the constitutionality of the new Statute of Autonomy.
Roadblocks to the Implementation of Problem-Oriented Policing in Montevideo
In the broad context of Uruguay’s police reform, the Ministry of Interior is implementing a pilot Problem-Oriented Policing (POP) program in Montevideo since late 2012. This research examined the obstacles confronted by the program throughout its implementation. Using a grounded theory approach, qualitative data was collected through 20 semi-structured interviews with members of the Uruguay National Police (UNP) of different ranks. Findings were analyzed based on the following categories: a) contextual factors; b) theoretical and practical inaccuracies; c) characteristics, skills and actions of project managers; d) resistance and motivational issues; e) resources; f) external support and cooperation. Consistent with research conducted on POP in other settings, findings suggest the program confronted a diverse set of obstacles over its implementation corresponding to all but one of the proposed categories. The study concludes with a series of recommendations to inform future POP endeavors by the UNP
The topology of the external activity complex of a matroid
International audienceWe prove that the external activity complex Act<(M) of a matroid is shellable. In fact, we show that every linear extension of Las Vergnas's external/internal order <ext/int on M provides a shelling of Act<(M). We also show that every linear extension of Las Vergnas's internal order <int on M provides a shelling of the independence complex IN(M). As a corollary, Act<(M) and M have the same h-vector. We prove that, after removing its cone points, the external activity complex is contractible if M contains U3,1 as a minor, and a sphere otherwise

On the Todd Class of the Permutohedral variety
In the special case of braid fans, we give a combinatorial formula for the
Berline-Vergne's construction for an Euler-Maclaurin type formula that computes
number of lattice points in polytopes. Our formula is obtained by computing a
symmetric expression for the Todd class of the permutohedral variety. By
showing that this formula does not always have positive values, we prove that
the Todd class of the permutohedral variety is not effective for .
Additionally, we prove that the linear coefficient in the Ehrhart polynomial
of any lattice generalized permutohedron is positive.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figure
Ehrhart Positivity for Generalized Permutohedra
International audienceThere are few general results about the coefficients of Ehrhart polynomials. We present a conjecture about their positivity for a certain family of polytopes known as generalized permutohedra. We have verified the conjecture for small dimensions combining perturbation methods with a new valuation on the algebra of rational pointed polyhedral cones constructed by Berline and Vergne.Il existe peu de résultats sur les coefficients des polynômes d’Ehrhart. On présente une conjecture concernant leur positivité pour une certaine famille de polytopes connus sous le nom de permutoèdre généralisé. On a vérifié la conjecture pour les petites dimensions en combinant des méthodes de perturbation avec une nouvelle valuation sur l’algèbre des cônes polyédraux rationnels pointés, construite par Berline et Vergne
