Dodgson's method of computing determinants was recently revisited in a paper that appeared in the College Math Journal. The method is attractive, but fails if an interior entry of an intermediate matrix has the value zero. This paper…
In this first of a series of three papers we outline an approach to classifying 4d $\mathcal{N}{=}2$ superconformal field theories at rank 2. The classification of allowed scale invariant $\mathcal{N}=2$ Coulomb branch geometries of…
We explain how the Harish-Chandra Plancherel Theorem and results in relative Lie algebra cohomology can be used in order to compute in a uniform way the $L^2$-Betti numbers, the Novikov-Shubin invariants, and the $L^2$-torsion of compact…
Fix a Calabi-Yau 3-fold $X$ satisfying the Bogomolov-Gieseker conjecture of Bayer-Macr\`i-Toda, such as the quintic 3-fold. We express Joyce's generalised DT invariants counting Gieseker semistable sheaves of any rank $r\ge1$ on $X$ in…
The first author's previous work established Solomon's WDVV-type relations for Welschinger's invariant curve counts in real symplectic fourfolds by lifting geometric relations over possibly unorientable morphisms. We apply her framework to…
In this article, we introduce rack invariants of oriented Legendrian knots in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space endowed with the standard contact structure, which we call Legendrian racks. These invariants form a generalization of the…
Let $C_{2}$ be a smooth and projective curve over the ring of dual numbers of a field $k.$ Given non-zero rational functions $f,g,$ and $h$ on $C_{2},$ we define an invariant $\rho(f\wedge g \wedge h) \in k.$ This is an analog of the real…
In the present paper, we discuss a way of generalising Vassiliev knot invariants and weight systems to framed chord diagrams having framing 0 and 1.
In this note we discuss techniques for determining the automorphism group of a genus $g$ hyperelliptic curve $\X_g$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero. The first technique uses the classical $GL_2…
Let $G\subset SL_2(C)\subset SL_3(C)$ be a finite group. We compute motivic Pandharipande-Thomas and Donaldson-Thomas invariants of the crepant resolution $Hilb^G(C^3)$ of $C^3/G$ generalizing results of Gholampour and Jiang who computed…
In this paper, which is a follow-up of our first paper "Normal forms for ordinary differential operators, I", we extend the explicit parametrisation of torsion free rank one sheaves on projective irreducible curves with vanishing cohomology…
Using the language of polyhedral divisors and divisorial fans we describe invariant divisors on normal varieties X which admit an effective codimension one torus action. In this picture X is given by a divisorial fan on a smooth projective…
We define ambient isotopy invariants of oriented knots and links using the counting invariants of framed links defined by finite racks. These invariants reduce to the usual quandle counting invariant when the rack in question is a quandle.…
In the paper, we describe the Drinfel'd double structure of the $n$-rank Taft algebra and all of its simple modules, and then endow its $R$-matrices with some application to knot invariants. The knot invariants we get is a generalization of…
In this paper, we explore a ring invariant which is closely related to the Davenport constant of a group. In particular, we will calculate this invariant for a certain class of rings of integers and their orders and use it to understand…
The need to test whether two random vectors are independent has spawned a large number of competing measures of dependence. We are interested in nonparametric measures that are invariant under strictly increasing transformations, such as…
In this paper we find and explore the correspondence between quivers, torus knots, and combinatorics of counting paths. Our first result pertains to quiver representation theory -- we find explicit formulae for classical generating…
K-theoretic Donaldson-Thomas counts of curves in toric and many related threefolds can be computed in terms of a certain canonical 3-valent tensor, the K-theoretic equivariant vertex. In this paper we derive a formula for the vertex in the…
In this paper, we prove that for a regular polynomial endomorphism of positive degree on $\mathbb{P}^2$, a family of curves containing a Zariski dense set of periodic curves is invariant under some iterate of the endomorphism. The setting…
For a second-order linear differential equation with two irregular singular points of rank three, multiple Laplace-type contour integral solutions are considered. An explicit formula in terms of the Stokes multipliers is derived for the…
