We study a novel type of braid groups on a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$. These are fundamental groups of certain manifolds that are hybrids between symmetric products and configuration spaces of points on $\Sigma$; a class of examples…
Let $n\geq 1$. The pro-unipotent completion of the pure braid group of $n$ points on a genus 1 surface has been shown to be isomorphic to an explicit pro-unipotent group with graded Lie algebra using two types of tools: (a) minimal models…
The highest weight modules of the chiral algebra of orthogonal WZW models at level one possess a realization in fermionic representation spaces; the Kac-Moody and Virasoro generators are represented as unbounded limits of even CAR algebras.…
We develop a method of quantization for free field theories on manifolds with boundary where the bulk theory is topological in the direction normal to the boundary and a local boundary condition is imposed. Our approach is within the…
This paper develops the algebraic foundation required to build a Zariski-type geometry for \emph{commutative ternary $\Gamma$-semirings}, where multiplication is an inherently triadic, multi-parametric interaction…
The definition of a dilute braid-monoid algebra is briefly reviewed. The construction of solvable vertex and interaction-round-a-face models built on representations of the dilute Temperley-Lieb and Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebras is…
We classify the pairs $(X,\pi)$, where $\pi\colon X\to S$ is a $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundle over a non-rational geometrically ruled surface $S$ and $\mathrm{Aut}^\circ(X)$ is relatively maximal, i.e., maximal with respect to the inclusion in the…
The first part of the paper is a brief overview of Hindman's finite sums theorem, its prehistory and a few of its further generalizations, and a modern technique used in proving these and similar results, which is based on idempotent…
We show that the metric structure of morphisms $f\colon Y\to X$ between quasi-smooth compact Berkovich curves over an algebraically closed field admits a finite combinatorial description. In particular, for a large enough skeleton…
A consequence of the results of Bers and Griffiths on the uniformization of complex algebraic varieties is that the universal cover of a family of Riemann surfaces, with base and fibers of finite hyperbolic type, is a contractible…
Given a compact, connected Lie group $K$, we use principal $K$-bundles to construct manifolds with prescribed finite-dimensional algebraic models. Conversely, let $M$ be a compact, connected, smooth manifold which supports an almost free…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, F its algebraically closed extension, and G be the group of k-automorphisms of F endowed with a natural topology. One of the purposes of this paper is to show that any…
We show that to every local representation of the Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra defined by a skew-invertible R-matrix $R\in Aut(V\otimes V)$ one can associate pairings $V\otimes V\to C$ and $V^*\otimes V^*\to C$, where V is the…
Given a point S (the light position) in P^3 and an algebraic surface Z (the mirror) of P^3, the caustic by reflection of Z from S is the Zariski closure of the envelope of the reflected lines got by reflection of the incident lines (Sm) on…
Let $X$ be a variety over a complete nontrivially valued field $K$. We construct an algebraizable formal model for the analytification of $X$ in the case $X$ admits a closed embedding into a toric variety. By algebraizable we mean that the…
A finite unit norm tight frame is a collection of $r$ vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$ that generalizes the notion of orthonormal bases. The affine finite unit norm tight frame variety is the Zariski closure of the set of finite unit norm tight…
We show that the monoids totM_{k,1} introduced by Birget and their generalizations tot nM_{k,r} which extend the Brin-Higman-Thompson groups, can be realized as the endomorphism monoids of higher-dimensional J\'onsson-Tarski algebras. We…
A binding group theorem is proved in the context of quantifier-free internality to the fixed field in difference-closed fields of characteristic zero. This is articulated as a statement about the birational geometry of isotrivial algebraic…
We show that algebraic analogues of universal group covers, surjective group homomorphisms from a $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space to $F^{\times}$ with "standard kernel", are determined up to isomorphism of the algebraic structure by the…
Governed by locality, we explore a connection between unitary braid group representations associated to a unitary $R$-matrix and to a simple object in a unitary braided fusion category. Unitary $R$-matrices, namely unitary solutions to the…
