We prove that the Khovanov homology of alternating knots and 2-component links is equal (as a singly graded group) to the singular homology of a certain space of trace- free, binary dihedral representations of the link group. More…

This article presents a clear proof of the Riemann Mapping Theorem via Riemann's method, uncompromised by any appeals to topological intuition.

In this paper we present a proof of the BMZ Reduction Lemma with a motivational perspective, and state this lemma for maps to manifolds using the classical definition of cohomological dimension. The lemma, proved and utilized in [4], gives…

We prove that a knot is the unknot if and only if its reduced Khovanov cohomology has rank 1. The proof has two steps. We show first that there is a spectral sequence beginning with the reduced Khovanov cohomology and abutting to a knot…

The purpose of this paper is twofold: 1. we prove the triangulability of smooth orbifolds with corners, generalizing the same statement for orbifolds. 2. based on 1, we propose a new homology theory. We call it geometric homology theory…

A conjecture of Shumakovitch states that every nontrivial knot has 2-torsion in its Khovanov homology. We show that if a knot $K$ has no 2-torsion in its Khovanov homology, then the rank of its reduced Khovanov homology is minimal among all…

We show that the unnormalised Khovanov homology of an oriented link can be identified with the derived functors of the inverse limit. This leads to a homotopy theoretic interpretation of Khovanov homology.

Recently GM Sofi & SA Shabir [arXive: 1903.01850v2 [math.GM] 6 Mar 2019] made an attempt to prove the Sendov's conjecture. But unfortunately the proof is not correct. In this note, we discuss the fallacy in the proof.

A non-algorithmic, generalized version of a recent result, asserting that a natural relaxation of the Koml\'os conjecture from boolean discrepancy to spherical discrepancy is true, is proved by a very short argument using convex geometry.

We introduce an invariant of tangles in Khovanov homology by considering a natural inverse system of Khovanov homology groups. As application, we derive an invariant of strongly invertible knots; this invariant takes the form of a graded…

We conjecturally extract the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of the (m, n) torus knot from the unique finite dimensional simple representation of the rational DAHA of type A, rank n - 1, and central character m/n. The conjectural…

In this paper, we prove that Gorenstein projective conjecture is left and right symmetric and the co-homology vanishing condition can not be reduced in general. Moreover, the Gorenstein projective conjecture is proved to be true for…

We prove the classification of homomorphisms from the algebra of symmetric functions to $\mathbb{R}$ with non-negative values on Macdonald symmetric functions $P_{\lambda}$, that was conjectured by S.V. Kerov in 1992.

In this note, we give a simple proof of the Todorov's surjectivity result on the period map of K3 surfaces in a differential geometric setting. Our proof makes use of collasping geometry of hyperk\"{a}hler 4-manifolds developped by…
