Edgar Delgado

Creative Math Systems Developer

I develop creative systems that merge mathematics, computation, and music through structural analogies.

All for real-time algorithmic composition, my current projects include modular forms (SageMath/LMFDB-inspired) and multidimensional figurate number generators with over 26,000 downloads, as well as ts-tonnetz.

I have published a Scopus-indexed article in Mathematical Music Theory, serve as a peer reviewer for The European Physical Journal, contribute to international open-source projects, and teach postgraduate courses.

Do Group Actions Define Regular Polytopes and Polytypes in Type Systems?

I introduce an analogy between transitive group actions on flags of polytopes and type systems. This speculative concept aims to offer a naive way of understanding and classifying types through symmetry.

Towards Gamma Functions for Figurate Numbers

I plant a question motivated by generalizing the GCD to varieties and inspired by Euler's interpolation: Does there exist a function attached to each figurate number that extends it to continuous domains, analogous to how the Gamma function extends the factorial?
