Given a positive integer $n$, we say that two knots are $V_n$-equivalent if they have the same Vassiliev invariants of order $\le n$. We showed that the $V_n$-equivalence classes of ribbon knots form a group, the operation being induced by…

We show that it is undecidable whether a system of linear equations over the Laurent polynomial ring $\mathbb{Z}[X^{\pm}]$ admit solutions where a specified subset of variables take value in the set of monomials $\{X^z \mid z \in…

In the paper we study irreducible representations of some nilpotent groups of finite abelian total rank. The main result of the paper states that if a torsion-free minimax group $G$ of nilpotency class 2 admits a faithful irreducible…

Two groups are said to have the same nilpotent genus if they have the same nilpotent quotients. We answer four questions of Baumslag concerning nilpotent completions. (i) There exists a pair of finitely generated, residually…

We develop theorems which produce a multitude of hyperbolic triples for the finite classical groups. We apply these theorems to prove that every quasisimple group except Alt(5) and SL_2(5) is a Beauville group. In particular, we settle a…

Using totally symmetric sets, Chudnovsky, Kordek, Li, and Partin gave a superexponential lower bound on the cardinality of non-abelian finite quotients of the braid group. In this paper, we develop new techniques using multiple totally…

In the present paper we construct braid group actions on quantum symmetric pair coideal subalgebras of type AIII/AIV. This completes the proof of a conjecture by Kolb and Pellegrini in the case where the underlying Lie algebra is…

We prove sharp limit theorems on random walks on graphs with values in finite groups. We then apply these results (together with some elementary algebraic geometry, number theory, and representation theory) to finite quotients of lattices…

Let $G$ be a simple, simply connected algebraic group of exceptional type defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with Frobenius endomorphism $F: G \to G$. Let $\ell \nmid q$ be a good prime for $G$. We determine the number of irreducible Brauer…

In this paper we give a refinement of the method introduced by Lawrence and Venkatesh and thereby showing that their proof of Mordell's conjecture is uniform up to a uniform bound on the number of Galois representations attached to some…

We give effective proofs of residual finiteness and conjugacy separability for finitely generated nilpotent groups. In particular, we give precise asymptotic bounds for a function introduced by Bou-Rabee that measures how large the…

In the 1950s, H. S. M. Coxeter considered the quotients of braid groups given by adding the relation that all half Dehn twist generators have some fixed, finite order. He found a remarkable formula for the order of these groups in terms of…

In this paper we construct new Beauville surfaces with group either $\PSL(2,p^e)$, or belonging to some other families of finite simple groups of Lie type of low Lie rank, or an alternating group, or a symmetric group, proving a conjecture…

Recently, Chang--Haiden--Schroll shows that the braid group action on full exceptional collections in a triangulated category is not transitive but has infinitely many orbits in general. Their proof is based on a geometric model and the…

First, we classify Calabi-Yau threefolds with infinite fundamental group by means of their minimal splitting coverings introduced by Beauville, and deduce that the nef cone is a rational simplicial cone and any rational nef divisor is…

In this paper, we obtain a characterization of short normal sequences over a finite Abelian p-group, thus answering positively a conjecture of Gao for a variety of such groups. Our main result is deduced from a theorem of Alon, Friedland…

We introduce braided Lie bialgebras as the infinitesimal version of braided groups. They are Lie algebras and Lie coalgebras with the coboundary of the Lie cobracket an infinitesimal braiding. We provide theorems of transmutation, Lie…

We lift the lattice of translations in the extended affine Weyl group to a braid group action on the quantum affine algebra. This action fixes the Heisenberg subalgebra pointwise. Loop like generators are found for the algebra which satisfy…

Let g be a complex, simple Lie algebra and t a Cartan subalgebra of g. A new unitary, flat connection on t with values in any finite-dimensional g-module V and simple poles along the root hyperplanes was recently introduced by J. Millson…

We introduce a new class of Abelian groups which lies strictly between the classes of co-Hopfian groups and Dedekind-finite groups, calling these groups {\it Bassian-finite}. We prove the surprising fact that in the torsion case the…
