We prove various results in infinite-dimensional differential calculus which relate differentiability properties of functions and associated operator-valued functions (e.g., differentials). The results are applied in two areas: 1. in the…
We study the notion of duality in the context of graded manifolds. For graded bundles, somehow like in the case of Gelfand representation and the duality: points vs. functions, we obtain natural dual objects which belongs to a different…
We study the distribution of arithmetic invariants associated to Alexander polynomials for certain infinite families of links. The families of links we consider arise from braids on a fixed number of strings. We explore analogies with…
For an abelian category with a Serre duality and a finite group action, we compute explicitly the Serre duality on the category of equivariant objects. Special cases and examples are discussed. In particular, an abelian category with a…
Thompson (2014) exhibits a formula for the multiplier ideal with multiplier lambda of a monomial curve C with ideal I as an intersection of a term coming from the I-adic valuation, the multiplier ideal of the term ideal of I, and terms…
The k-th Fitting ideal of the Alexander invariant B of an arrangement A of n complex hyperplanes defines a characteristic subvariety, V_k(A), of the complex algebraic n-torus. In the combinatorially determined case where B decomposes as a…
By considering a (not necessarily locally-flat) PL knot as the singular locus of a PL stratified pseudomanifold, we can use intersection homology theory to define intersection Alexander polynomials, a generalization of the classical…
All simple translation-invariant valuations on polytopes are classified. As a direct consequence the well-known conditions for translative-equidecomposability are recovered. Furthermore, a simplified proof of the classification of…
We provide a complete proof of a duality theorem for the fppf cohomology of either a curve over a finite field or a ring of integers of a number field, which extends the classical Artin-Verdier Theorem in \'etale cohomology. We also prove…
We show that if a link L with non-zero Alexander polynomial admits a locally flat cobordism to a `weakly m-split link', then the cobordism must have genus at least (m-1)/2. This generalises a recent result of J. Pardon.
We investigate the classification of topological quandles on some simple manifolds. Precisely we classify all Alexander quandle structures, up to isomorphism, on the real line and the unit circle. For the closed unit interval $[0, 1]$, we…
The paper relates the Gorenstein duality statements studied by the first author to the Anderson duality statements studied by the second author, and explains how to use local cohomology and invariant theory to understand the numerology of…
We present a reduced Burau-like representation for the mixed braid group on one strand representing links in lens spaces and show how to calculate the Alexander polynomial of a link directly from the mixed braid.
A duality theorem for the singularity category of a finite dimensional Gorenstein algebra is proved. It complements a duality on the category of perfect complexes, discovered by Happel. One of its consequences is an analogue of Serre…
Self-duality plays a very important role in many applications in field theories possessing topological solitons. In general, the self-duality equations are first order partial differential equations such that their solutions satisfy the…
We shall work with the so called duality triads following kwa\'sniewski. In particular in this note we propose some extensions of them - hence we choose such special class of triads that admit - all at once - a unified combinatorial…
We introduce the notion of doubling and r-tupling for simplicial complexes, a notion reminiscent to that of matching complexes in graph theory. We prove a connectivity result for such complexes and relate r-tupling to stabilizing r times…
A certain squarefree monomial ideal $H_P$ arising from a finite partially ordered set $P$ will be studied from viewpoints of both commutative algebra and combinatorics. First, it is proved that the defining ideal of the Rees algebra of…
We define twisted Alexander polynomials of a complex hypersurface with arbitrary singularities. These generalize the classical Alexander polynomials of high dimensional hypersurfaces and the twisted Alexander polynomial of plane curves. We…
We extend Latimer and MacDuffee's theorem to a general commutative domain and apply this result to study similarity of matrices over integral rings of number fields. We also conjecture similarity over discrete valuation rings can be descent…
