We show that if a braid $B$ can be parametrised in a certain way, then previous work can be extended to a construction of a polynomial $f:\mathbb{R}^4\to\mathbb{R}^2$ with the closure of $B$ as the link of an isolated singularity of $f$,…

We show that an arbitrary algebra ${ A}$, (of arbitrary dimension, over an arbitrary base field and any identity is not suppose for the product), is semisimple if and only if it has zero annihilator and admits a semi-division linear basis.…

We prove that twisting any quasi-alternating link $L$ with no gaps in its Jones polynomial $V_L(t)$ at the crossing where it is quasi-alternating produces a link $L^{*}$ with no gaps in its Jones polynomial $V_{L^*}(t)$. This leads us to…

We show that in a tracial and finitely generated $W^\ast$-probability space existence of conjugate variables in an appropriate sense exclude algebraic relations for the generators. Moreover, under the assumption of finite non-microstates…

In this paper we discuss, in terms of quivers with relations, sufficient and necessary conditions for an algebra to be a quasitilted algebra. We start with an algebra with global dimension two and we give a sufficient condition for it to be…

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic 0. We assume G is quasi-split, adjoint and absolutly simple. Let g be the Lie algebra of G. We consider the space of the invariant…

In recent years, twisted Alexander polynomial has been playing an important role in low-dimensional topology. For Montesinos links, we develop an efficient method to compute the twisted Alexander polynomial associated to any linear…

Let L be a linear difference operator with polynomial coefficients. We consider singularities of L that correspond to roots of the trailing (resp. leading) coefficient of L. We prove that one can effectively construct a left multiple with…

For the Borromean link, we determine its irreducible ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-character variety, and find a formula for the twisted Alexander polynomial as a function on the character variety.

Given a finite connected bipartite graph, finite-dimensional indecomposable semisimple Leibniz algebras are constructed. Furthermore, any finite-dimensional indecomposable semisimple Leibniz algebra admits a similar construction.

Let L be an oriented (d+1)-component link in the 3-sphere, and let L(q) be the d-component link in a homology 3-sphere that results from performing 1/q-surgery on the last component. Results about the Alexander polynomial and twisted…

We discuss existence of factorizations with linear factors for (left) polynomials over certain associative real involutive algebras, most notably over Clifford algebras. Because of their relevance to kinematics and mechanism science, we put…

For an algebraic stack $\sX$ flat and of finite presentation over a scheme $S$, we introduce various notions of {\em relative connected components} and {\em relative irreducible components}. The main distinction between these notions is…

We introduce normal cores, as well as the more general action cores, in the context of a semi-abelian category, and further generalise those to split extension cores in the context of a homological category. We prove that, if the category…

The leading coefficient of the Alexander polynomial of a knot is the most informative element in this invariant, and the growth of orders of the first homology of cyclic branched covering spaces is also a familiar subject. Accordingly,…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the canonical divisor to vanish on a quasi-homogeneous affine algebraic variety.

Let X be a simplicial complex with the ground set V. Define its Alexander dual as a simplicial complex X* = {A \subset V: V \setminus A \notin X}. The combinatorial Alexander duality states that the i-th reduced homology group of X is…

The trapezoidal Fox conjecture states that the coefficient sequence of the Alexander polynomial of an alternating knot is unimodal. We are motivated by a harder question, the strong Fox conjecture, which asks whether the coefficient…

Given a field $F$, an \'etale extension $L/F$ and an Azumaya algebra $A/L$, one knows that there are extensions $E/F$ such that $A \otimes_F E$ is a split algebra over $L \otimes_F E$. In this paper we bound the degree of a minimal…

We study the zeros of exceptional Hermite polynomials associated with an even partition $\lambda$. We prove several conjectures regarding the asymptotic behavior of both the regular (real) and the exceptional (complex) zeros. The real zeros…
