The Gram determinant of type $A$ was introduced by Lickorish in his work on invariants of 3 - manifolds. We generalize the theory of the Gram determinant of type $A$ by evaluating, in the annulus, a bilinear form of non-intersecting…
We use the Jones-Wenzl idempotents to construct a basis of Temperley-Lieb algebra TL_n. This allows a short calculation for a Gram determinant of Lickorish's bilinear form on the Temperley-Lieb algebra.
Gram determinants earned traction among knot theorists after E. Witten's presumption about the existence of a 3-manifold invariant connected to the Jones polynomial. Triggered by the creation of such an invariant by N. Reshetikhin and V.…
We investigate the Gram determinant of the bilinear form based on curves in a planar surface, with a focus on the disk with two holes. We prove that the determinant based on $n-1$ curves divides the determinant based on $n$ curves.…
This article explores the connection between Chebyshev polynomials and knot theory, specifically in relation to Gram determinants. We reveal intriguing formulae involving the Chebyshev polynomial of the first and second kind. In particular…
Historically originated as a sub-field of topology, knot theory is an active area of mathematical investigation that has strong connections with a diverse set of scientific fields such as algebra, biology, and statistical mechanics. A…
We provide a direct proof of a conjecture of Brini relating the Gromov-Witten theory of the resolved conifold to the Ablowitz-Ladik integrable hierarchy at the level of primaries. In doing so, we use a functional representation of the…
We give an approach for relative and degenerate Gromov--Witten invariants, inspired by that of Jun Li but replacing predeformable maps by transversal maps to a twisted target. The main advantage is a significant simplification in the…
In this paper, we compute the Gram determinants associated to each cell module of the Birman-Wenzl algebras. As a by-product, we give the necessary and sufficient condition for semisimple Birman-Wenzl algebras over an arbitrary field.
We generalize linear superalgebra to higher gradings and commutation factors, given by arbitrary abelian groups and bicharacters. Our central tool is an extension, to monoidal categories of modules, of the Nekludova-Scheunert faithful…
We compute the determinant of the Gram matrix of the Shapovalov form on weight spaces of the basic representation of an affine Kac-Moody algebra of ADE type (possibly twisted). As a consequence, we obtain explicit formulae for the…
Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective algebraic variety. Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a $G$-banded gerbe with $G$ a finite abelian group. We prove an exact formula expressing genus $g$ orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of $\mathcal{G}$ in terms of…
The study of denominator identities for Lie superalgebras was recently developed by M. Gorelik, V.G. Kac, P.Moseneder Frajria, I. Musson, P. Papi, M. Wakimoto and the author. In this paper we generalize these identities to the twisted…
A binary tensor consists of $2^n$ entries arranged into hypercube format $2 \times 2 \times \cdots \times 2$. There are $n$ ways to flatten such a tensor into a matrix of size $2 \times 2^{n-1}$. For each flattening, $M$, we take the…
Based on the large N duality relating topological string theory on Calabi-Yau 3-folds and Chern-Simons theory on 3-manifolds, M. Aganagic, A. Klemm, M. Marino and C. Vafa proposed the topological vertex (hep-th/0305132), an algorithm on…
Ribbon decomposition matrices give determinantal formulas for skew Schur functions that include as special cases the classical Jacobi-Trudi, Giambelli, and Lascoux-Pragacz formulas. We prove that certain elements of Lusztig's dual canonical…
Generalised Temperley-Lieb categories with regions labelled by elements of a commutative algebra were introduced by M. Khovanov and the second author in [Pure Appl. Math. Q. 19 (2023), no. 5]. We consider the case where the regions are…
This paper reports some advances in the study of the symplectic blob algebra. We find a presentation for this algebra. We find a minimal poset for this as a quasi-hereditary algebra. We discuss how to reduce the number of parameters…
We introduce a natural notion of determinant in matrix JB$^*$-algebras, i.e., for hermitian matrices of biquaternions and for hermitian $3\times 3$ matrices of complex octonions. We establish several properties of these determinants which…
These are lecture notes of a C.I.M.E. course I gave at Cetraro, June 6-11 2005. The theory described is the version of Chen-Ruan's Gromov-Witten theory of orbifolds developed by Graber, Vistoli and me in the algebraic setting, but with…
