k-graphs are higher-rank analogues of directed graphs which were first developed to provide combinatorial models for operator algebras of Cuntz-Krieger type. Here we develop a theory of the fundamental groupoid of a k-graph, and relate it…
This paper is a sequel to work of Dynkin on subroot lattices of root lattices and to work of Carter on presentations of Weyl group elements as products of reflections. The quotients $L/L_1$ are calculated for all irreducible root lattices…
We discuss the classification of reflection subgroups of finite and affine Weyl groups from the point of view of their root systems. A short case free proof is given of the well known classification of the isomorphism classes of reflection…
We study and classify a class of representations (called generalized geometric representations) of a Coxeter group of finite rank. These representations can be viewed as a natural generalization of the geometric representation. The…
We look at Poisson geometry taking the viewpoint of singular foliations, understood as suitable submodules generated by Hamiltonian vector fields rather than partitions into (symplectic) leaves. The class of Poisson structures which behave…
We define a notion of weak omega-category internal to a model of Martin-L\"of type theory, and prove that each type bears a canonical weak omega-category structure obtained from the tower of iterated identity types over that type. We show…
In this paper we introduce the concept of generalized vector groupoid. Several properties of them are established.
We consider a particular class of Garside groups, which we call circular groups. We mainly prove that roots are unique up to conjugacy in circular groups. This allows us to completely classify these groups up to isomorphism. As a…
Right feeble groups are defined as groupoids $(X,*)$ such that (i) $x, y\in X$ implies the existence of $a, b \in X$ such that $a*x = y$ and $b*y = x$. Furthermore, (ii) if $x, y, z \in X$ then there is an element $w\in X$ such that…
The purpose of this paper is to present a systematic exposition of the main results obtained in the studies carried out in groupoid theory. Key words and phrases: groupoid, topological groupoid, Lie groupoid, group-groupoid, vector…
Wirtinger presentations of deficiency 1 appear in the context of knots, long virtual knots, and ribbon 2-knots. They are encoded by (word) labeled oriented trees and, for that reason, are also called LOT presentations. These presentations…
The challenges posed by the development of field theories, both classical and quantum, force us to question their most basic and foundational ideas like the role and origin of space-time, the meaning of physical states, etc. Among them the…
We study the congruence lattice of the poset of regions of a hyperplane arrangement, with particular emphasis on the weak order on a finite Coxeter group. Our starting point is a theorem from a previous paper which gives a geometric…
We discuss the theory of certain partially ordered sets that capture the structure of commutation classes of words in monoids. As a first application, it follows readily that counting words in commutation classes is #P-complete. We then…
This paper, written in 1998, aims to clarify various higher categorical structures, mostly through the theory of generalized operads and multicategories. Chapters I and II, which cover this theory and its application to give a definition of…
We describe in this note a torsor structure arising on the affine scheme defined by a system of rationnal algebraic relations between polyzetas at roots of unity (values of hyperlogarithmic functions on a fixed finite group of complex roots…
We consider the class of finitely generated groups whose relators are powers of commutators of the generators. This class contains as a small subclass graph groups (also called RAAGs), namely if all powers are one. Graph groups are the only…
The study of representations of affine Hecke algebras has led to a new notion of shapes and standard Young tableaux which works for the root system of any finite Coxeter group. This paper is completely independent of affine Hecke algebra…
In this article, we propose to initiate the general study of involution systems. An {\em involution system}, that is, a group $W$ generated by a set of involutions $S$, is naturally endowed with a {\em weak order} arising from orienting the…
These notes give a short introduction to finite Coxeter groups, their classification, and some parts of their representation theory, with a focus on the infinite families. They are based on lectures delivered by the author at the…
