We define a type of biquandle which is a generalization of symplectic quandles. We use the extra structure of these bilinear biquandles to define new knot and link invariants and give some examples.
The concept of formal duality was proposed by Cohn, Kumar and Sch\"urmann, which reflects a remarkable symmetry among energy-minimizing periodic configurations. This formal duality was later on translated into a purely combinatorial…
Let G be a simple complex algebraic group. By using a notion of a G-category we define invariants of tangles with flat G-connections in their complements. We also show that quantized universal enveloping algebras at roots of unity provide…
It is well known that if G is an \'etale topological groupoid then its topology can be recovered as the sup-lattice generated by G-sets, i.e. by the images of local bisections. This topology has a natural structure of unital involutive…
We prove duality isomorphisms of certain representations of W-algebras which play an essential role in the quantum geometric Langlands Program and some related results.
We proved that, in characteristic 0, if two dominant endomorphisms of the projective plane of degree at least 2 are conjugate by some birational transformation, then they are conjugate by an automorphism. We also gave counterexamples in…
I review the proposal of Berenstein-Douglas for a completely general definition of Seiberg duality. To give evidence for their conjecture I present the first example of a physical dual pair and explicitly check that it satisfies the…
We introduce a new duality for $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric gauged matrix models. This $0d$ duality is an order 4 symmetry, namely an equivalence between four different theories, hence we call it Quadrality. Our proposal is motivated by…
In this paper we shall give formulas for the pairings of intersection cohomology classes of complementary dimensions in the intersection cohomology of geometric invariant theoretic quotients for which semistability is not necessarily the…
We define F-algebra--Rinehart pairs and super F-algebroids and study the connection between them.
We study the generalization of $R\to 1/R$ duality to arbitrary conformally invariant sigma models with an isometry. We show that any pair of dual sigma models can be represented as quotients of a self-dual sigma model obtained by gauging…
We observe that for planar graphs, the geometric duality relation generates both 2-isomorphism and abstract duality. This observation has the surprising consequence that for links, the equivalence relation defined by isomorphisms of…
The quantum duality principal (QDP) by Drinfeld predicts a connection between the quantized universial enveloping algebras and the quantized coordinate algebras, where the underlying classical objects are related by the duality in Poisson…
This paper develops the study of Fox pairings of a group $G$ from the viewpoint of group cohomology. We compute some cohomology groups of Fox pairings of $G$, where $G$ admits a Poincar\'{e} duality group pair. We also suggest fundamental…
We introduce an algebraic structure we call semiquandles whose axioms are derived from flat Reidemeister moves. Finite semiquandles have associated counting invariants and enhanced invariants defined for flat virtual knots and links. We…
A pair of rooted tangents -- defining a quantum triangle -- with an associated quantum wave of spin 1/2 is proposed as the primitive to represent and compute symmetry. Measures of the spin characterize how "isosceles" or how "degenerate"…
We study quantized dual graded graphs, which are graphs equipped with linear operators satisfying the relation DU - qUD = rI. We construct examples based upon: the Fibonacci poset, permutations, standard Young tableau, and plane binary…
A couple of complex projective plane curves are said to make a Zariski pair if they have the same degree and the same type of singularities, but their embeddings in the projective plane are topologically different. In this paper, we present…
Many two-dimensional classical field theories have hidden symmetries that form an infinite-dimensional algebra. For those examples that correspond to effective descriptions of compactified superstring theories, the duality group is expected…
We consider a pair consisting of an invertible polynomial and a finite abelian group of its symmetries. Berglund, H\"ubsch, and Henningson proposed a duality between such pairs giving rise to mirror symmetry. We define an orbifoldized…
