A category of Brauer diagrams, analogous to Turaev's tangle category, is introduced, and a presentation of the category is given; specifically, we prove that seven relations among its four generating homomorphisms suffice to deduce all…
In this paper we give an algorithm for solving a main case of the conjugacy problem in the braid groups. We also prove that half-twists satisfy a special root property which allows us to reduce the solution for the conjugacy problem in…
We study exceptional Jordan algebras and related exceptional group schemes over commutative rings from a geometric point of view, using appropriate torsors to parametrize and explain classical and new constructions, and proving that over…
We propose a gauge model of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and its nonabelian generalization from which we derive knot invariants such as the Jones polynomial. Our approach is inspired by the work of Witten who derived knot invariants from…
This article is dedicated to the computation of an explicit presentation of some asymptotically rigid mapping class groups, namely the braided Higman-Thompson groups. To do so, we use the action of these groups on the spine complex, a…
Let $X$ be a finite set and let $\mathsf{Mat}_X(\mathbb{C})$ denote the algebra of matrices with rows and columns indexed by $X$ and entries from the complex numbers acting on $\mathbb{C}^X$ with standard basis $\{ \hat{x} \mid x\in X\}$.…
We construct a new class of symmetric algebras of tame representation type that are also the endomorphism algebras of cluster tilting objects in 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated categories, hence all their non-projective indecomposable modules are…
These lecture notes cover a brief introduction into some of the algebro-geometric techniques used in the construction of BPS algebras. The first section introduces the derived category of coherent sheaves as a useful model of branes in…
With the aim of completing the previous study by A. Or{\l}owski and the author concerning intertwining maps between induced representations and conjugation representation, termed here weighted class operators, we compute the latter…
Various properties of a class of braid matrices, presented before, are studied considering $N^2 \times N^2 (N=3,4,...)$ vector representations for two subclasses. For $q=1$ the matrices are nontrivial. Triangularity $(\hat R^2 =I)$…
Let A be an association scheme on q\geq 3 vertices. We show that the Bose-Mesner algebra of the generalized Hamming scheme H(n,A), for n\geq 2, is not the Nomura algebra of a type II matrix. This result gives examples of formally self-dual…
We construct 3d, N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories by considering a one-parameter `R-flow' of 4d, N=2 theories, where the central charges vary while preserving their phase order. Each BPS state in 4d leads to a BPS particle in 3d, and thus…
Finite order invariants (Vassiliev invariants) of knots are expressed in terms of weight systems, that is, functions on chord diagrams satisfying the four-term relations. Weight systems have graph analogues, so-called $4$-invariants of…
We investigate the spin-Brauer diagram algebra, denoted ${\bf SB}_n(\delta)$, that arises from studying an analogous form of Schur-Weyl duality for the action of the pin group on ${\bf V}^{\otimes n} \otimes \Delta$. Here ${\bf V}$ is the…
A classic result of representation theory is Brauer's construction of a diagrammatical (geometrical) algebra whose matrix representation is a certain given matrix algebra, which is the commutating algebra of the enveloping algebra of the…
A linking pairing is a symetric bilinear pairing lambda: GxG --> Q/Z on a finite abelian group. The set of isomorphism classes of linking pairings is a non-cancellative monoid E under orthogonal sum, which is infinitely generated and…
In this paper, we develop the PBW theory for the bosonic extension $\qbA{\g}$ of a quantum group $\mathcal{U}_q(\g)$ of \emph{any} finite type. When $\g$ belongs to the class of \emph{simply-laced type}, the algebra $\qbA{\g}$ arises from…
We use some Lie group theory and Budney's unitarization of the Lawrence-Krammer representation, to prove that for generic parameters of definite form the image of the representation (also on certain types of subgroups) is dense in the…
The crossing matrix of a braid on $N$ strands is the $N\times N$ integer matrix with zero diagonal whose $i,j$ entry is the algebraic number (positive minus negative) of crossings by strand $i$ over strand $j$ . When restricted to the…
Using a Mathematica code, we present a straightforward numerical analysis of the 384-dimensional solution space of signed permutation 4x4 matrices, which in sets of four provide representations of the GR(4,4) algebra, closely related to the…
