Random symmetric tensors close to rank-one
We address the general problem of estimating the probability that a real symmetric tensor is close to rank-one tensors. Using Weyl’s tube formula, we turn this question into a differential geometric one involving the study of metric invariants of the real Veronese variety. More precisely, we give an explicit formula for its reach and curvature coefficients with respect to the Bombieri-Weyl metric. These results are obtained using techniques from Random Matrix Theory and an explicit description of the second fundamental form of the Veronese variety in terms of GOE matrices. We give a complete solution to the original problem and exhibit some novel asymptotic results in the case of rational normal curves. If time allows, we will also discuss a generalization to partially symmetric tensors due to P. Breiding and S. Eggleston. Based on a joint work with A. Cazzaniga and A. Lerario.

Eigenvalue problem on the Grassmannian
We determine the number of complex solutions to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem on the Grassmannian Gr(d, n) in its Plücker embedding. Our technique consists in finding a reduced Gröbner basis for the ideal of the graph of the natural birational parametrization of Gr(d, n). In the case when d=2, we obtain an explicit formula for the number of complex solutions, which involves Catalan numbers and is the volume of the Cayley sum of a Gelfand-Cetlin polytope with simplex. Moreover, we can show that the property of Plücker coordinates to form a Khovanskii basis can be lifted to the graph, which give rise to the existence of a toric degeneration of the graph.
The motivation of the problem comes from quantum chemistry. This is a joint work with Bernd Sturmfels and Svala Sverrisdóttir.

Fusion rings from lattice points
Fusion rings are abstract versions of Grothendieck rings of certain tensor categories, i.e., categories that are endowed with a bifunctor called tensor product. The prototypical example is rhe category of finite-dimensional representations of a finite group. The corresponding fusion ring is a finite rank free algebra over the integers whose base elements correspond to isomorphism classes of irreducible representations and whose relations are defined by the decomposition of the tensor product of two irreducibles into a direct sum of irreducibles. Another source is conformal field theory, which is undoubtedly a driving force in the theory of fusion rings.The classification of fusion rings can be based on the computation of lattice points in polytopes of extremely high dimension, typically > 200. The computation is only possible since the points must satisfy quadratic equations that represent the associativity of the algebra. Normaliz now contains an efficient computation of such lattice points.Part of the results so far are reported in the paper "Classification of modular data of integral modular fusion categories up to rank 12" with Max A. Alekseyev, Sébastien Palcoux and Fedor V. Petrov (arXiv:2302.14345).

Angereicherte Ordnungspolytope von Zick-Zack Posets
Die angereicherten (engl. enriched) Ordnungspolytope sind eine erweiterte Klasse der Ordnungspolytope. Sie stützen sich auf die Theorie der angereicherten P-Partitionen. Für die Gitterpunkte dieser Polytope lässt sich eine Poset-Struktur definieren, mit welcher eine unimodulare Triangulierung beschrieben werden kann.
Insbesondere werden angereicherte Ordnungspolytope zu Zick-Zack Posets betrachtet. Hierbei lassen sich strukturelle Eigenschaften des Posets der Gitterpunkte feststellen, sowie eine rekursive Konstruktion der Gitterpunkte.

h*-polynomials of Cosmological Polytopes
Cosmological polytopes appear in the study of the wavefunction of the universe and therefore are of high interest in physics. There haven been several articles in the last years where cosmological polytopes have been studied. In a recent article, Juhnke, Solus and Venturello showed that cosmological polytopes admit a regular unimodular triangulation. We use these results to investigate the h*-polynomials of cosmological polytopes. For example, we can compute the h*-polynomials of cosmological polytopes of trees and cycles, where both can have multiple edges.
