We construct a representation of the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra acting on a space of polynomials in n variables vanishing when three points coincide. These polynomials are closely related to the Pfaffian state of the Quantum Hall Effect…

In the paper we give a survey of rather new notions and results which generalize classical ones in the theory of braids. Among such notions are various inverse monoids of partial braids. We also observe presentations different from standard…

We show that representations of the loop braid group arise from Aharonov-Bohm like effects in finite 2-group (3+1)-dimensional topological higher gauge theory. For this we introduce a minimal categorification of biracks, which we call…

In this paper we first present a Birman-Murakami-Wenzl type algebra for every Coxeter system of rank 2 (corresponding to dihedral groups). We prove they have semisimple for generic parameters, and having natural cellular structures. And…

Let M be a module over a commutative ring and let Spec(M) (resp. Max(M)) be the collection of all prime (resp. maximal) submodules of M. We topologize Spec(M) with Zariski topology, which is analogous to that for Spec(R), and consider…

This paper is concerned with the completion of the proof of the Bergman centralizer theorem by using generic matrices based on our previous quantization proof \cite{KBRZh}. Additionally, we establish that the algebra of generic matrices…

This paper deals with $n$-dimensional algebras, over any field, which have only trivial derivation (automorphism) and simple algebras. It is shown that the corresponding sets of algebras are not empty and, in algebraically closed field…

We describe a family of hyperplane arrangements depending on a positive integer parameter $r$, which we refer to as the $r$-braid arrangements, and which can be viewed as a generalization of the classical braid arrangement. The wonderful…

We study the Zariski closure of points in local deformation rings corresponding to potential semi-stable representations with certain prescribed $p$-adic Hodge theoretic properties. We show in favourable cases that the closure is equal to a…

Consider a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and any of its moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}(A,\mathbf{d})^{ss}_{\theta}$ of representations. We prove a decomposition theorem which relates any irreducible component of…

We analyze the algebraic structure of $\phi_{1,2}$ perturbed minimal models relating them to graph-state models with an underlying Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra. Using this approach one can clarify some physical properties and reformulate…

Many of the known solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation, which are related to solvable lattice models of vertex- and IRF-type, yield representations of the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra. From these, representations of a two-colour…

The Zariski theorem says that for every hypersurface in a complex projective (resp. affine) space of dimension at least 3 and for every generic plane in the projective (resp. affine) space the natural embedding generates an isomorphism of…

For an algebraic variety $X$ we study the behavior of algebraic morphisms from an algebraic variety to the group $\bir(X)$ of birational maps of $X$ and obtain, as application, some insight about the relationship between the so-called…

This paper will appear in the Santa Cruz proceedings. An overview of the braid group techniques in the theory of algebraic surfaces, from Zariski to the latest results, is presented. An outline of the Van Kampen algorithm for computing…

When $E$ is an $R$-module over a commutative unital ring $R$, the Zariski closure of its support is of the form $\mathrm V(\mathcal O(E))$ where $\mathcal O(E)$ is a unique radical ideal. We give an explicit form of $\mathcal O(E)$ and…

We characterize the Zariski topologies over an algebraically closed field in terms of general dimension-theoretic properties. Some applications are given to complex manifold and to strongly minimal sets.

Given a fibration over the circle, we relate the eigenspace decomposition of the algebraic monodromy, the homological finiteness properties of the fiber, and the formality properties of the total space. In the process, we prove a more…

We introduce and study a new class of representations of surface groups into Lie groups of Hermitian type, called weakly maximal representations. They are defined in terms of invariants in bounded cohomology and extend considerably the…

We show that if $\M$ is a Zariski-like structure (see \cite{lisuriart}) that does not interpret a non-classical group, and the canonical pregeometry obtained from the bounded closure operator (bcl) is non locally modular, then $\M$…
