Under the assumption that a defining graph of a Coxeter group admits only twists in $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and is of type FC, we prove M\"uhlherr's Twist Conjecture.

In this paper we investigate commuting involution graphs in classical affine Weyl groups. Let $W$ be a classical Weyl group of rank $n$, with $\tilde W$ its corresponding affine Weyl group. Our main result is that if $X$ is a conjugacy…

We give a new, elementary proof that Khovanov homology with $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$--coefficients is invariant under Conway mutation. This proof also gives a strategy to prove Baldwin and Levine's conjecture that $\delta$--graded knot…

We prove Lusztig's conjectures P1-P15 for Coxeter groups with complete graph, using deceasing induction on $ \mathbf{a} $-values and a kind of decomposition formula of Kazhdan-Lusztig basis elements. As a byproduct, we give a description of…

This survey covers some of the recent developments on noncommutative motives and their applications. Among other topics, we compute the additive invariants of relative cellular spaces and orbifolds; prove Kontsevich's semi-simplicity…

Drinfeld twists, and the twists of Giaquinto and Zhang, allow for algebras and their modules to be deformed by a cocycle. We prove general results about cocycle twists of algebra factorisations and induced representations and apply them to…

We reduce a strong version of the twist conjecture for Artin groups to Artin groups whose defining graphs have no separating vertices. This produces new examples of Artin groups satisfying the conjecture, and sheds more light on the…

We prove a conjecture of Kottwitz and Rapoport which implies a converse to Mazur's Inequality for all split and quasi-split (connected) reductive groups. These results are related to the non-emptiness of certain affine Deligne-Lusztig…

We study the projective objects in an exact category naturally associated to a Coxeter system. We discuss an analog of the Kazhdan-Lusztig conjecture and show how it follows from a "genericity" conjecture and how the latter follows from a…

We consider conditions under which endomorphisms of varieties become automorphisms. For example, there is a remarkable theorem, called Ax-Grothendieck theorem, which states that any injective endomorphism of a variety is bijective. Over an…

The hypothetical existence of a good theory of mixed motives predicts many deep phenomena related to algebraic cycles. One of these, a generalization of Bloch's conjecture says that "small Hodge diamonds" go with "small Chow groups".…

We define etale cohomology of the moduli spaces of mixed characteristic local shtukas so that it gives smooth representations including the case where the relevant elements of the Kottwitz set are both non-basic. Then we relate the etale…

We prove Lusztig's conjectures ${\bf P1}$--${\bf P15}$ for the affine Weyl group of type $\tilde{G}_2$ for all choices of parameters. Our approach to compute Lusztig's $\mathbf{a}$-function is based on the notion of a "balanced system of…

Involution words are variations of reduced words for twisted involutions in Coxeter groups. They arise naturally in the study of the Bruhat order, of certain Iwahori-Hecke algebra modules, and of orbit closures in flag varieties.…

The Collatz conjecture states that repeated steps of $n\mathrm{\to }\mathrm{3}n\mathrm{+1}$ at odd numbers and $n\mathrm{\to }n\mathrm{/2}$ at even numbers amount to walks over root paths to the branching number $c=4$ in the `trivial'…

In this work, we investigate the approach via flipclasses to the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture for Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials of all Coxeter groups. We prove the combinatorial invariance of Kazhdan--Lusztig…

The recently suggested KNTZ trick completed the lasting search for exclusive Racah matrices $\bar S$ and $S$ for all rectangular representations and has a potential to help in the non-rectangular case as well. This was the last lacking…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system, let $G$ be a finite solvable group of automorphisms of $(W,S)$ and let $\varphi$ be a weight function which is invariant under $G$. Let $\varphi_G$ denote the weight function on $W^G$ obtained by restriction…

In this paper, we study the Kazhdan--Lusztig cells of a Coxeter group $W$ in a ``relative'' setting, with respect to a parabolic subgroup $W_I \subseteq W$. This relies on a factorization of the Kazhdan--Lusztig basis $\{C_w\}$ of the…

We revisit Haiman's conjecture on the relations between characters of Kazdhan-Lusztig basis elements of the Hecke algebra over the symmetric group. The conjecture asserts that, for purposes of character evaluation, any Kazhdan-Lusztig basis…
