We prove the Categorified Wrapping Number Conjecture for large classes of annular links, including alternating annular links and tangle closures exhibiting plumbed link phenomena. We do so by characterizing when a resolution is sufficient…
In this article we consider conditions under which projection operators in multiplicity free semi-simple tensor categories satisfy Temperley-Lieb like relations. This is then used as a stepping stone to prove sufficient conditions for…
We explicitly describe the category of modules of the Temperley-Lieb algebra $\mathrm{TL}_n(\beta)$ under specialization $\beta=0$ for even $n$ in terms of a quiver algebra, analogous to a result of Berest-Etingof-Ginzburg. In particular,…
We discuss generalizations of the Temperley-Lieb algebra in the Potts and XXZ models. These can be used to describe the addition of different types of integrable boundary terms. We use the Temperley-Lieb algebra and its one-boundary,…
We define a tower of affine Temperley-Lieb algebras of type $\tilde{A_{n}}$ and we define Markov elements in those algebras. We prove that any trace over an affine Temperley-Lieb algebras of type $\tilde{A_{2}}$ is uniquely defined by its…
Transcendental Brauer elements are notoriously difficult to compute. Work of Wittenberg, and later, Ieronymou, gives a method for computing 2-torsion transcendental classes on surfaces that have a genus 1 fibration with rational 2-torsion…
A generalization of the topological fundamental group is developed in order to exhibit a topologically complete braid group containing Artin's braid group on infinitely many strands with respect to the following notion of convergence: A…
We describe all finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras whose infinitesimal braiding is a fixed Yetter-Drinfeld module decomposed as the sum of two simple objects: a point and the one of transpositions of the symmetric group in three…
We show that the Grothendieck groups of the categories of finitely-generated graded supermodules and finitely-generated projective graded supermodules over a tower of graded superalgebras satisfying certain natural conditions give rise to…
We study the algebraic property of the representation of the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface of genus 2 constructed by VFR Jones [Annals of Math. 126 (1987) 335-388]. It arises from the Iwahori-Hecke algebra representations…
This paper describes some algebraic properties of the species of finite topological quandles. We construct two twisted bialgebra structures on this species, one of the first kind and one of the second kind. The obstruction for the structure…
Generalised Temperley-Lieb categories with regions labelled by elements of a commutative algebra were introduced by M. Khovanov and the second author in [Pure Appl. Math. Q. 19 (2023), no. 5]. We consider the case where the regions are…
We give a finite presentation for the braid twist group of a decorated surface. If the decorated surface arises from a triangulated marked surface without punctures, we obtain a finite presentation for the spherical twist group of the…
Every nontrivial abelian variety over a Hilbertian field in which the weak Mordell-Weil theorem holds admits infinitely many torsors with period any $n > 1$ which is not divisible by the characteristic. The corresponding statement with…
Let $\mathbb{X}$ be a weighted projective line and $\operatorname{coh}\mathbb{X}$ the associated categoy of coherent sheaves. We classify the tilting complexes $T$ in $D^b(\operatorname{coh}\mathbb{X})$ such that $\tau^2 T\cong T$, where…
We present in this paper the algebra of fused permutations and its deformation the fused Hecke algebra. The first one is defined on a set of combinatorial objects that we call fused permutations, and its deformation is defined on a set of…
We show that a compact rigid balanced braided monoidal category with enough compact projective objects gives rise to a system of mapping class group representations compatible with the gluing along marked intervals. A motivation to consider…
Using the tensor category theory developed by Lepowsky, Zhang and the second author, we construct a braided tensor category structure with a twist on a semisimple category of modules for an affine Lie algebra at an admissible level. We…
We consider the tube algebra of a spherical semisimple multitensor category $\mathcal{X}$, and construct a braided monoidal structure with twist for its representations. We further show that this category is braided tensor equivalent with…
This paper will be an exposition of the Kauffman bracket polynomial model of the Jones polynomial, tangle methods for computing the Jones polynomial, and the use of these methods to produce non-trivial links that cannot be detected by the…
