To a presentation of an oriented link as the closure of a braid we assign a complex of bigraded vector spaces. The Euler characteristic of this complex (and of its triply-graded cohomology groups) is the HOMFLYPT polynomial of the link. We…

The trace or the $0$th Hochschild--Mitchell homology of a linear category $\mathcal{C}$ may be regarded as a kind of decategorification of $\mathcal{C}$. We compute traces of the two versions $\dot{\mathcal{U}}$ and $\dot{\mathcal{U}}^*$ of…

The Euler characteristic of a cell complex is often thought of as the alternating sum of the number of cells of each dimension. When the complex is infinite, the sum diverges. Nevertheless, it can sometimes be evaluated; in particular, this…

Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Drinfeld showed that the quantum group associated to g is isomorphic as an algebra to the trivial deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of g. In this paper we construct explicitly such…

We prove the $L^2$-Euler characteristic has the invariance under the barycentric subdivision only for finite acyclic categories. And we extend the definition of $L^2$-Euler characteristic and prove the extended $L^2$-Euler characteristic…

We show how in PT-symmetric 2J-level quantum systems the assumption of an upside-down symmetry (or duality) of their spectra simplifies their classification based on the non-equivalent pairwise mergers of the energy levels.

Symplectic reduction is reinterpreted as the composition of arrows in the category of integrable Poisson manifolds, whose arrows are isomorphism classes of dual pairs, with symplectic groupoids as units. Morita equivalence of Poisson…

We give a classification of all quasitriangular structures and ribbon elements of $\mathcal{D}(G)$ explicitly in terms of group homomorphisms and central subgroups. This can equivalently be interpreted as an explicit description of all…

Quandle homology was defined from rack homology as the quotient by a subcomplex corresponding to the idempotency, for invariance under the type I Reidemeister move. Similar subcomplexes have been considered for various identities of racks…

A converse to Lie's theorem for Leibniz algebras is found and generalized. The result is used to find cases in which the generalized property, called triangulable, is 2-recognizeable; that is, if all 2-generated subalgebras are…

We obtain some criteria for a symmetric square-central element of a totally decomposable algebra with orthogonal involution in characteristic two, to be contained in an invariant quaternion subalgebra.

Based on the Schmidt decomposition new convenient thumbrules are obtained to test entanglement of wavefunctions for bipartite qubit and qutrit systems. For the qubit system there is an underlying SU(2) algebra , while the same for a qutrit…

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…

We study the existence and uniqueness of direct sum decompositions in additive bicategories. We find a simple definition of Krull-Schmidt bicategories, for which we prove the uniqueness of decompositions into indecomposable objects as well…

The Poincare duality of classical cohomology and the extension of this duality to quantum cohomology endows these rings with the structure of a Frobenius algebra. Any such algebra possesses a canonical ``characteristic element;'' in the…

We define a type of biquandle which is a generalization of symplectic quandles. We use the extra structure of these bilinear biquandles to define new knot and link invariants and give some examples.
