This paper proves coherence results for categories with a natural transformation called \emph{intermutation} made of arrows from $(A\wedge B)\vee(C\wedge D)$ to ${(A\vee C)\wedge(B\vee D)}$, for $\wedge$ and $\vee$ being two biendofunctors.…

The topological symmetry group $\mathrm{TSG}(\Gamma)$ of an embedding $\Gamma$ of a graph in $S^3$ is the subgroup of the automorphism group of the graph which is induced by homeomorphisms of $(S^3,\Gamma)$. If we restrict to orientation…

We construct integrable Hamiltonian systems with Lie bialgebras $({\bf g} , {\bf \tilde{g}})$ of the bi-symplectic type for which the Poisson-Lie groups ${\bf G}$ play the role of the phase spaces, and their dual Lie groups ${\bf {\tilde…

Inspired by the work of Ou [12,17], we study biharmonic conformal immersions of surfaces into a conformally flat 3-space. We first give a characterization of biharmonic conformal immersions of totally umbilical surfaces into a generic…

We extend results of Brewster and Graves for switching $m$-edge coloured graphs with respect to a cyclic group to switching $(m, n)$-mixed graphs with respect to an Abelian group. In particular, we establish the existence of a $(m,…

Smith homomorphisms are maps between bordism groups that change both the dimension and the tangential structure. We give a completely general account of Smith homomorphisms, unifying the many examples in the literature. We provide three…

We show that the cobordism class of a polarization of Hodge module defines a natural transformation from the Grothendieck group of Hodge modules to the cobordism group of self-dual bounded complexes with real coefficients and constructible…

We consider (local) parametrizations of Teichmuller space $T_{g,n}$ (of genus $g$ hyperbolic surfaces with $n$ boundary components) by lengths of $6g-6+3n$ geodesics. We find a large family of suitable sets of $6g-6+3n$ geodesics, each set…

We show that a structural matrix algebra $A$ is isomorphic to the endomorphism algebra of an algebraic-combinatorial object called a generalized flag. If the flag is equipped with a group grading, an algebra grading is induced on $A$. We…

We systematically study noncommutative and nonassociative algebras A and their bimodules as algebras and bimodules internal to the representation category of a quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra. We enlarge the morphisms of the monoidal…

Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. This variety of loops includes groups and commutative Moufang loops. A half-isomorphism $f : G \longrightarrow K$ between multiplicative systems $G$ and $K$ is a…

We consider the existence of bibundles, in other words locally trivial principal $G$ spaces with commuting left and right $G$ actions. We show that their existence is closely related to the structure of the group $\Out(G)$ of outer…

We consider finite group-actions on 3-manifolds $\cal H_g$ obtained as the connected sum of $g$ copies of $S^2 \times S^1$, with free fundamental group $F_g$ of rank $g$. We prove that, for $g > 1$, a finite group of diffeomorphisms of…

We study ${\cal N}=2$ compactifications of $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string theory on orbifolds of $K3 \times T^2$ by $g'$ which acts as an $\mathbb{Z}_N$ automorphism of $K3$ together with a$1/N$ shift on a circle of $T^2$. The orbifold…

Given a complex reductive group G, Borel subgroup B, and topological surface S with boundary dS, we study the "Betti spectral category" DCoh_N(Loc_G(S, dS)) of coherent sheaves with nilpotent singular support on the character stack of…

For a compact orientable surface $\Sigma_{g,1}$ of genus $g$ with one boundary component and for an odd prime number $p$, we study the homology of the unordered configuration spaces…

In this paper, we give presentations of the mapping class groups of marked surfaces stabilizing boundaries for any genus. Note that in the existing works, the mapping class groups of marked surfaces were the isotopy classes of…

For $(M,[g])$ a conformal manifold of signature $(p,q)$ and dimension at least three, the conformal holonomy group $\mathrm{Hol}(M,[g]) \subset O(p+1,q+1)$ is an invariant induced by the canonical Cartan geometry of $(M,[g])$. We give a…

We describe the mapping class group action on the cohomology of the twisted $\mathrm{SL}_n$-character variety of a surface $\Sigma_g$ of genus $g$. Our main tool is a relative version of the endoscopic decomposition of Maulik-Shen; this…

Let \Sigma = \Sigma _{g,1} be a compact surface of genus g at least 3 with one boundary component, \Gamma its mapping class group and M = H_1(\Sigma , Z) the first integral homology of \Sigma . Using that \Gamma is generated by the Dehn…
