We define a sequence of integer-valued invariants $\gamma^k(L)$ for a $3$-component link $L$. We prove that the resulting $\gamma$-invariants are invariant under concordance, and more generally under weak cobordism, and that they lift…

A rack is a set with a binary operation that is right-invertible and self-distributive, properties diagrammatically corresponding to Reidemeister moves II and III, respectively. A rack is said to be an {\it augmented rack} if the operation…

We introduce multi-tribrackets, algebraic structures for region coloring of diagrams of knots and links with different operations at different kinds of crossings. In particular we consider the case of component multi-tribrackets which have…

This paper generalizes the bordered-algebraic knot invariant introduced in an earlier paper, giving an invariant now with more algebraic structure. It also introduces signs to define these invariants with integral coefficients. We describe…

In order to better understand the structure of classical rings of invariants for binary forms, Dixmier proposed, as a conjectural homogeneous system of parameters, an explicit collection of invariants previously studied by Hilbert. We…

We introduce birack brackets, skein invariants of birack-colored framed classical and virtual knots and links with values in a commutative unital ring. The multiset of birack bracket values over the homset from a framed link's fundamental…

We study several categories of analytic stacks relative to the category of bornological modules over a Banach ring. When the underlying Banach ring is a non-Archimedean valued field, this category contains derived rigid analytic spaces as a…

It is natural to try to place the new polynomial invariants of links in algebraic topology (e.g. to try to interpret them using homology or homotopy groups). However, one can think that these new polynomial invariants are byproducts of a…

We introduce an invariant of alternating knots and links (called here WRP), namely a pair of integer polynomials associated with their two checkerboard planar graphs from their minimal diagram. We prove that the invariant is well-defined…

We introduce a new family of invariants of real algebraic sets defined in terms of the topology of their complexifications and compute some of these invariants for spheres. This allows us to completely classify topological isomorphism…

Carter, Jelsovsky, Kamada, Langford and Saito have defined an invariant of classical links associated to each element of the second cohomology of a finite quandle. We study these invariants for Alexander quandles of the form Z[t,t^{-1}]/(p,…

We give a new construction of the one-variable Alexander polynomial of an oriented knot or link, and show that it generalizes to a vector valued invariant of oriented tangles.

Let k be a perfect field and A a finite dimensional k-algebra of finite global dimension (e.g. the path algebra of a finite quiver without oriented cycles). Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the value…

In this paper, we estimate the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of the (extended) Rees algebras in terms of some invariants of the base ring. Also, we give an explicit formula for the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicities of Rees algebras over Veronese…

We define enhancements of the quandle counting invariant for knots and links with a finite labeling quandle Q embedded in the quandle of units of a Lie algebra \mathfrak{a} using Lie ideals. We provide examples demonstrating that the…

I propose a notation for biracks that includes from the begining the knowledege of the associated (or underlying, or derived) rack structure. Motivated by results of Rump in the involutive case, this notation allows to generalize some…
