While topologists have had possession of possible counterexamples to the smooth 4-dimensional Poincar\'{e} conjecture (SPC4) for over 30 years, until recently no invariant has existed which could potentially distinguish these examples from…

K\"ulshammer, Olsson, and Robinson developed an l-analogue of modular representation theory of symmetric groups where l is not necessarily a prime. They gave a conjectural combinatorial description for invariant factors of the Cartan matrix…

For simple simply connected algebraic groups of classical type, Merkurjev, Parimala, and Tignol gave a formula for the restriction of the Rost invariant to torsors induced from the center of the group. We complete their results by proving…

We define invariants for a framed link equipped with a SL2 local system in its complement and additional combinatorial data based on the theory of representations of stated skein algebras at roots of unity of punctured bigons and the…

A cornerstone of algebraic K-theory is the equivalence between the K-theory machines of May, Segal, and Elmendorf and Mandell. Equivariant algebraic K-theory enriches the theory with group actions, making it more powerful and complex. There…

In earlier work, we constructed invariants of irreducible representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface. We introduce here an inverse construction, which to a set of possible invariants associates an irreducible representation…

The q-deformed version of the Drinfeld-Sokolov reduction is extended to the case of the algebra of 'complex size matrices'; this construction generalizes earlier results of B.Khesin and F.Malikov on universal DS reduction and follows the…

Let $S$ be the affine plane regarded as a toric variety with an action of the 2-dimensional torus $T$. We study the equivariant Chow ring $A_{K}^*(Hilb^n(S))$ of the punctual Hilbert scheme $Hilb^n(S)$ with equivariant coefficients…

We prove a uniqueness result for finite-dimensional representations of the Kauffman skein algebra $\mathcal{S}_A(S)$ of a surface $S$, when $A$ is a root of unity and when the surface $S$ is a sphere with at most four punctures or a torus…

The knot coloring polynomial defined by Eisermann for a finite pointed group is generalized to an infinite pointed group as the longitudinal mapping invariant of a knot. In turn this can be thought of as a generalization of the quandle…

Let \nu be any integer-valued additive knot invariant that bounds the smooth 4-genus of a knot K, |\nu(K)| <= g_4(K), and determines the 4-ball genus of positive torus knots, \nu(T_{p,q}) = (p-1)(q-1)/2. Either of the knot concordance…

We define a Rasmussen $s$-invariant over the coefficient ring of the integers, and show how it is related to the $s$-invariants defined over a field. A lower bound for the slice genus of a knot arising from it is obtained, and we give…

Using the tensor product variety introduced by Malkin and Nakajima, the complete structure of the tensor product of a finite number of integrable highest weight modules of U_q(sl_2) is recovered. In particular, the elementary basis,…

We start with a Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) related to a BD.I-type symmetric spaces $SO(2r+1)/S(O(2r-2s +1)\otimes O(2s))$, $s\geq 1$. We consider two Riemann-Hilbert problems: the first formulated on the real axis $\mathbb{R}$ in the…

This article presents a formula for products of Schubert classes in the quantum cohomology ring of the Grassmannian. We introduce a generalization of Schur symmetric polynomials for shapes that are naturally embedded in a torus. Then we…

In this paper it is shown how the Heisenberg group of order 27 can be used to construct quotients of degenerate Sklyanin algebras. These quotients have properties similar to the classical Sklyanin case in the sense that they have the same…

In this paper, we propose and discuss implications of a general conjecture that there is a canonical action of a rank 1 double affine Hecke algebra on the Kauffman bracket skein module of the complement of a knot $K \subset S^3$. We prove…

We derive an analog of Melvin-Morton bound on the power series expansion of Jones polynomial of algebraically split links and boundary links. This allows us to produce a simple formula for the trivial connection contribution to Witten's…

Let $A, B$ be invertible, non-commuting elements of a ring $R$. Suppose that $A-1$ is also invertible and that the equation $$[B,(A-1)(A,B)]=0$$ called the fundamental equation is satisfied. Then an invariant $R$-module is defined for any…

Matrix mutation of skew-symmetrizable matrices is foundational in cluster algebra theory. Effective mutation invariants are essential for determining whether two matrices lie in the same mutation class. Casals~\cite{Casals} introduced a…
