International audience The totally nonnegative Grassmannian Gr≥0 k,n is the set of k-dimensional subspaces V of Rn whose nonzero Plucker coordinates all have the same sign. In their study of scattering amplitudes in N = 4 supersym- metric Yang-Mills theory, Arkani-Hamed and Trnka (2013) considered the image (called an amplituhedron) of Gr≥0 k,n under a linear map Z : Rn → Rr, where k ≤ r and the r × r minors of Z are all positive. One reason they required this positivity condition is to ensure that the map Gr≥0 k,n → Grk,r induced by Z is well defined, i.e. it takes everynelement of Gr≥0 k,n to a k-dimensional subspace of Rr. Lam (2015) gave a sufficient condition for the induced map Gr≥0 k,n → Grk,r to be well defined, in which case he called the image a Grassmann polytope. (In the case k = 1, Grassmann polytopes are just polytopes, and amplituhedra are cyclic polytopes.) We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the induced map Gr≥0 k,n → Grk,r to be well defined, in terms of sign variation. Using previous work we presented at FPSAC 2015, we obtain an equivalent condition in terms of the r × r minors of Z (assuming Z has rank r).

International audience The Ish arrangement was introduced by Armstrong to give a new interpretation of the $q; t$-Catalan numbers of Garsia and Haiman. Armstrong and Rhoades showed that there are some striking similarities between the Shi arrangement and the Ish arrangement and posed some problems. One of them is whether the Ish arrangement is a free arrangement or not. In this paper, we verify that the Ish arrangement is supersolvable and hence free. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the deleted Ish arrangement to be free L’arrangement Ish a été introduit par Armstrong pour donner une nouvelle interprétation des nombres $q; t$-Catalan de Garsia et Haiman. Armstrong et Rhoades ont montré qu’il y avait des ressemblances frappantes entre l’arrangement Shi et l’arrangement Ish et ont posé des conjectures. L’une d’elles est de savoir si l’arrangement Ish est un arrangement libre ou pas. Dans cet article, nous vérifions que l’arrangement Ish est supersoluble et donc libre. De plus, on donne une condition nécessaire et suffisante pour que l’arrangement Ish réduit soit libre.

Graph Theory International audience In 1982, Opsut showed that the competition number of a line graph is at most two and gave a necessary and sufficient condition for the competition number of a line graph being one. In this paper, we generalize this result to the competition numbers of generalized line graphs, that is, we show that the competition number of a generalized line graph is at most two, and give necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the competition number of a generalized line graph being one.

Combinatorics International audience A \em cyclic q-partition of a hypergraph (V,E) is a partition of the edge set E of the form \F,F^θ,F^θ², \ldots, F^θ^q-1\ for some permutation θ of the vertex set V. Let Vₙ = \ 1,2,\ldots,n\. For a positive integer k, Vₙ\choose k denotes the set of all k-subsets of Vₙ. For a nonempty subset K of V_n-1, we let \mathcalKₙ^(K) denote the hypergraph ≤ft(Vₙ, \bigcup_k∈ K Vₙ\choose k\right). In this paper, we find a necessary and sufficient condition on n, q and k for the existence of a cyclic q-partition of \mathcalKₙ^(V_k). In particular, we prove that if p is prime then there is a cyclic p^α-partition of \mathcalK^(Vₖ)ₙ if and only if p^α + β divides n, where β = \lfloor \logₚ k\rfloor. As an application of this result, we obtain two sufficient conditions on n₁,n₂,\ldots,n_t, k, α and a prime p for the existence of a cyclic p^α-partition of the complete t-partite k-uniform hypergraph \mathcal K^(k)_n₁,n₂,\ldots,n_t.

International audience We study the $\textit{diagrams}$ of affine permutations and their $\textit{balanced}$ labellings. As in the finite case, which was investigated by Fomin, Greene, Reiner, and Shimozono, the balanced labellings give a natural encoding of reduced decompositions of affine permutations. In fact, we show that the sum of weight monomials of the $\textit{column strict}$ balanced labellings is the affine Stanley symmetric function defined by Lam and we give a simple algorithm to recover reduced words from balanced labellings. Applying this theory, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a diagram to be an affine permutation diagram. Finally, we conjecture that if two affine permutations are $\textit{diagram equivalent}$ then their affine Stanley symmetric functions coincide.

International audience In the context of Nonstandard Analysis, we study stochastic difference equations with infinitesimal time-steps. In particular we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a solution to be nearly-equivalent to a recombining stochastic process. The characterization is based upon a partial differential equation involving the trend and the conditional variance of the original process. An analogy with Ito’s Lemma is pointed out. As an application we obtain a method for approximation of expectations, in terms of two ordinary differential equations, also involving the trend and the conditional variance of the original process, and of Gaussian integrals. Dans le contexte de l’Analyse Nonstandard, nous étudions des équations différentielles stochastiques avec des pas infiniment petits. En particulier, nous formulons une condition nécessaire et suffisante pourqu’une solution soit presque-équivalente à un processus stochastique recombinant. La caractérisation est donnée par une équation aux dérivées partielles de la tendance et de la variance conditionnelle du processus de départ. Nous indiquons une analogie avec le Lemme d’Ito. Nous appliquons cette caractérisation au problème de la détermination d’espérances pour le processus de départ. En fait, on obtient une approximation infinitésimale en resolvant deux équations différentielles ordinaires, également de la tendance et de la variance conditionnelle de ce processus, et en calculant une intégrale de Gauss.

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold to be isometrically immersed into one of the Lorentzian products 𝕊n × ℝ1 or ℍn × ℝ1. This condition is expressed in terms of its first and second fundamental forms, the tangent and normal projections of the vertical vector field. As applications, we give an equivalent condition in a spinorial way and we deduce the existence of a one-parameter family of isometric maximal deformation of a given maximal surface obtained by rotating the shape operator.

This paper introduces an auditor reliability framework that repositions the role of auditor independence in the accounting profession. The framework is motivated in part by widespread confusion about independence and the auditing profession's continuing problems with managing independence and inspiring public confidence. We use philosophical, theoretical, and professional arguments to argue that the public interest will be best served by reprioritizing professional and ethical objectives to establish reliability in fact and appearance as the cornerstone of the profession, rather than relationship-based independence in fact and appearance. This revised framework requires three foundation elements to control subjectivity in auditors' judgments and decisions: independence, integrity, and expertise. Each element is a necessary but not sufficient condition for maximizing objectivity. Objectivity, in turn, is a necessary and sufficient condition for achieving and maintaining reliability in fact and appearance.
