Fix an integer N>1. To each diagram of a link colored by 1,...,N, we associate a chain complex of graded matrix factorizations. We prove that the homotopy type of this chain complex is invariant under Reidemeister moves. When every…

We introduce a notion of topological quandle. Given a topological quandle $Q$ we associate to every classical link $L$ in $\R ^3$ an invariant $J_Q(L)$ which is a topological space (defined up to a homeomorphism). The space $J_Q(L)$ can be…

We define an integer valued invariant for two-component links in S^3 by counting projective SU(2) representations of the link group having non-trivial second Stiefel-Whitney class. We show that our invariant is, up to sign, the linking…

We determine the detailed structure of parabolic subgroups of orthogonal groups over $\mathbb{Z}$, and deduce the precise form of canonical boundary components in toroidal compactifications of orthogonal Shimura varieties.

In this paper we give an elementary proof of the Zariski-Lipman conjecture for log canonical spaces.

We present an explicit formula for the canonical height of a projective toric variety.

We describe a family of hyperbolic knots whose character variety contain exactly two distinct components of characters of irreducible representations. The intersection points between the components carry rich topological information. In…

Hyperbolic structures on link complements (equivalently, representations of the fundamental group into $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$) can be described algebraically by using the octahedral decomposition determined by a link diagram. The…

We describe the Whitehead products in the rational homotopy group of a connected component of a mapping space in terms of the Andr\'{e}-Quillen cohomology. As a consequence, an upper bound for the Whitehead length of a mapping space is…

Cubical type theory provides a constructive justification of homotopy type theory. A crucial ingredient of cubical type theory is a path lifting operation which is explained computationally by induction on the type involving several…

We study the first step of the weight filtration on the cohomology of a proper complex algebraic variety, which we call the combinatorial part. We obtain a natural upper bound on its size, which gives rather strong information about the…

Networks offer a powerful approach to modeling complex systems by representing the underlying set of pairwise interactions. Link prediction is the task that predicts links of a network that are not directly visible, with profound…

Web services growth makes the composition process a hard task to solve. This numerous interacting elements can be adequately represented by a network. Discovery and composition can benefit from the knowledge of the network structure. In…

We investigate slices of the Sierpi\'nski tetrahedron from a topological viewpoint. For each $c\in[0,1]$, we study the \v{C}ech (co)homology group of the slice at height $c$. We show that the topology of the slice exhibits a sharp…

This paper is a generalization of the author's previous work on link homotopy to link concordance. We show that the only real-valued finite type link concordance invariants are the linking numbers of the components.

We study the topological charge and the topological susceptibility in lattice QCD with two degenerate flavors of naive Wilson fermions at two values of lattice spacings and different volumes, for a range of quark masses. Configurations are…

We prove the volume conjecture for an infinite family of links called Whitehead chains that generalizes both the Whitehead link and the Borromean rings.

We establish a relative spannedness for log canonical pairs, which is a generalization of the basepoint-freeness for varieties with log-terminal singularities by Andreatta--Wi\'sniewski. Moreover, we establish a generalization for quasi-log…

This paper is a sequel to [8] where we introduced an invariant, called canonical degree, of Cohen-Macaulay local rings that admit a canonical ideal. Here to each such ring with a canonical ideal, we attach a different invariant, called…

We study $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F})$-character varieties of knots over algebraically closed fields $\mathbb{F}$. We give a sufficient condition in terms of the double branched cover of a $2$-bridge knot (or, equivalently, of its Alexander…
