If $Q$ is a group acting as a group of automorphisms of another group $G$ (with finite orbits), denote by $C_*(G)^Q$ the subcomplex of $Q$-invariant chains in the bar complex $C_*(G)$. In this paper, we study the homology of the complex…
We construct a natural chain map from the Kontsevich graph complex to the rational singular chain complex of $B\mathrm{Diff}_\partial(D^{2k})$ when the dimension $2k$ is sufficiently large, generalizing Goussarov and Habiro's theories of…
This paper defines versions of the Jones polynomial and Khovanov homology by using several maps from the set of Gauss diagrams to its variant. Through calculation of some examples, this paper also shows that these versions behave…
Khovanov homology extends to singular links via a categorified analogue of Vassiliev skein relation. In view of Vassiliev theory, the extended Khovanov homology can be seen as Vassiliev derivatives of Khovanov homology. In this paper, we…
The reconnection process in the dynamics of cubic nontwist maps, introduced in [3], is studied. The present paper extends the work presented in [8]. As in that work, in order to describe the route to reconnection of the involved…
A cohomology theory for "odd polygon" relations -- algebraic imitations of Pachner moves in dimensions 3, 5, ... -- is constructed. Manifold invariants based on polygon relations and nontrivial polygon cocycles are proposed. Example…
This paper is a first of a series of three papers which study eta invariants for laminations. In this first paper, we extend the results of Higson and Roe to deal with regular (unbounded) operators and more importantly to take into account…
The topological framework of circuit topology has recently been introduced to complement knot theory and to help in understanding the physics of molecular folding. Naturally evolved linear molecular chains, such as proteins and nucleic…
We lift the characteristic-2 totally twisted Khovanov homology of Roberts and Jaeger to a theory with integer coefficients. The result is a complex computing reduced odd Khovanov homology for knots. This complex is equivalent to a…
We show that the reduced Khovanov homology of an oriented link $L$ in $S^3$ can be expressed as the homology of a chain complex constructed from a description of $L$ as the closure of a 1-tangle diagram $T$ in the annulus. Our chain complex…
We study the Khovanov complex of closed piecewise linear curves in the 3-space. A polygonal link representation endows the cube of resolutions with an additional combinatorial structure. The set of symmetries preserving this structure and…
Using the orbicell decomposition of the Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces studied previously, a chain complex based on semistable ribbon graphs is constructed which is an extension of Konsevich's graph…
We revisit Rozansky's construction of Khovanov homology for links in $S^2\times S^1$, extending it to define Khovanov homology $Kh(L)$ for links $L$ in $M^r=#^r(S^2\times S^1)$ for any $r$. The graded Euler characteristic of $Kh(L)$ can be…
We give a combinatorial treatment of transverse homology, a new invariant of transverse knots that is an extension of knot contact homology. The theory comes in several flavors, including one that is an invariant of topological knots and…
We study homology groups of posets with functor coefficients and apply our results to give a novel approach to study Khovanov homology of knots and related homology theories.
We introduce a new version of symplectic annular Khovanov homology and establish spectral sequences from (i) the symplectic annular Khovanov homology of a knot to the link Floer homology of the lift of the annular axis in the double…
In this short survey we report on the theory of biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds.
In this paper, we introduce relative LS category of a map and study some of its properties. Then we introduce `higher topological complexity' of a map, a homotopy invariant. We give a cohomological lower bound and compare it with previously…
We introduce simple conditions ensuring that invariant distributions of a Feller Markov chain on a compact Riemannian manifold are absolutely continuous with a lower semi-continuous, continuous or smooth density with respect to the…
To each rail knotoid we associate two unoriented knots along with their oriented counterparts, thus deriving invariants for rail knotoids based on these associations. We then translate them to invariants of rail isotopy for rail arcs.
