In \cite{rupel3},the authors defined algebra homomorphisms from the dual Ringel-Hall algebra of certain hereditary abelian category $\mathcal{A}$ to an appropriate $q$-polynomial algebra. In the case that $\mathcal{A}$ is the representation…

We introduce a new class of quantum enhancements we call biquandle brackets, which are customized skein invariants for biquandle colored links.Quantum enhancements of biquandle counting invariants form a class of knot and link invariants…

Quadratic eigenvalue problems (QEP) and more generally polynomial eigenvalue problems (PEP) are among the most common types of nonlinear eigenvalue problems. Both problems, especially the QEP, have extensive applications. A typical approach…

We define homology of ternary algebras satisfying axioms derived from particle scattering or, equivalently, from the third Reidemeister move. We show that ternary quasigroups satisfying these axioms appear naturally in invariants of…

We develop a geometric approach to stable homotopy groups of spheres in the spirit of the work of Pontrjagin and Rokhlin. A new proof of the Hopf Invariant One Theorem by J.F.Adams is obtained in all dimensions except 15 and 31. To prove…

We establish the stable homotopy classification of elliptic pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with corners and show that the set of elliptic operators modulo stable homotopy is isomorphic to the K-homology group of some stratified…

We report some observations concerning two well-known approaches to construction of quantum groups. Thus, starting from a bialgebra of inhomogeneous type and imposing quadratic, cubic or quartic commutation relations on a subset of its…

By the work of J.Huh, one can interpret binomial coefficients as a solution to an intersection problem on a permutohedral variety $X_E$. Applying Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch, this intersection problem is equivalent to computing Euler…

For every odd prime $p$ and every integer $n\geq 12$ there is a Heisenberg group of order $p^{5n/4+O(1)}$ that has $p^{n^2/24+O(n)}$ pairwise nonisomorphic quotients of order $p^{n}$. Yet, these quotients are virtually indistinguishable.…

In this series of papers, we propose a theory of enumerative invariants counting self-dual objects in self-dual categories. Ordinary enumerative invariants in abelian categories can be seen as invariants for the structure group $\mathrm{GL}…

Let $\ell$ be an odd prime and $K$ a field of characteristic different from $\ell$. Let $\bar{K}$ be an algebraic closure of $K$. Assume that $K$ contains a primitive $\ell$th root of unity. Let $n \ne \ell$ be another odd prime. Let $f(x)$…

A threefold extremal transition $Y \searrow X$ consists of a crepant extremal contraction $\phi \colon Y \to \bar Y$ with curve class $\ell \in \operatorname{NE}(Y)$, followed by a smoothing $\bar Y\rightsquigarrow X$. We consider the Type…

An approach by J.Wu describes homotopy groups $\pi_{n}(S^2)$ of the standard 2-sphere as isotopy classes of spherical $n+1$--strand Brunnian braids is investigated in the case $n=3$ for applications.

This paper demonstrates a topological meaning of quandle cocycle invariants of links with respect to finite connected quandles $X$, from a perspective of homotopy theory: Specifically, for any prime $\ell$ which does not divide the type of…

In this paper we address the classification problem for purely infinite simple Leavitt path algebras of finite graphs over a field $\ell$. Each graph $E$ has associated a Leavitt path $\ell$-algebra $L(E)$. There is an open question which…

We show that if $A$ and $H$ are Hopf algebras that have equivalent tensor categories of comodules, then one can transport what we call a free Yetter-Drinfeld resolution of the counit of $A$ to the same kind of resolution for the counit of…

The AJ Conjecture relates a quantum invariant, a minimal order recursion for the colored Jones polynomial of a knot (known as the $\hat{A}$ polynomial), with a classical invariant, namely the defining polynomial $A$ of the $\psl$ character…

We define an invariant ${\varphi}$ for knots in the 3-sphere by means of Donaldson invariants and Floer's instanton homology. Some basic properties of this invariant are established and it is shown that ${\varphi}$ coincides with a special…

We construct a new family of knot concordance invariants $\theta^{(q)}(K)$, where $q$ is a prime number. Our invariants are obtained from the equivariant Seiberg-Witten-Floer cohomology, constructed by the author and Hekmati, applied to the…

This paper extends the results of "Operads and Algebraic Homotopy" in giving algebraic invariants for the stable homotopy type of a pointed simply-connected simplicial set.
