The topological string interpretation of homological knot invariants has led to several insights into the structure of the theory in the case of sl(N). We study possible extensions of the matrix factorization approach to knot homology for…
The construction of topological index maps for equivariant families of Dirac operators requires factoring a general smooth map through maps of a very simple type: zero sections of vector bundles, open embeddings, and vector bundle…
In this note we describe a general elementary procedure to attach a fusion ring to any Kac-Moody algebra of affine type. In the case of untwisted affine algebras, they are usual fusion rings in the literature. In the case of twisted affine…
We define a normed matrix factorization category and a notion of bounding cochains for objects of this category. We classify bounding cochains up to gauge equivalence for spherical objects and use this classification to define numerical…
We obtain closed-form solutions of several inhomogeneous Lienard equations by the factorization method. The two factorization conditions involved in the method are turned into a system of first-order differential equations containing the…
This is the author's diploma thesis. We describe a simplification in the construction of Khovanov-Rozansky's categorification of quantum sl(n) link homology using the theory of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over hypersurface singularities…
Classical approaches in cluster analysis are typically based on a feature space analysis. However, many applications lead to datasets with additional spatial information and a ground truth with spatially coherent classes, which will not…
The Taylor resolution is a fundamental object in the study of free resolutions over the polynomial ring, due to its explicit formula, cellular/combinatorial structure, and applicability to any and all monomial ideals. This paper generalizes…
For each positive integer n the HOMFLY polynomial of links specializes to a one-variable polynomial that can be recovered from the representation theory of quantum sl(n). For each such n we build a doubly-graded homology theory of links…
The implementation details of factorizing the 3x4 projection matrices of linear cameras into their left matrix factors and the 4x4 homogeneous central(also parallel for infinite center cases) projection factors are presented in this work.…
Matrix factorization exploits the idea that, in complex high-dimensional data, the actual signal typically lies in lower-dimensional structures. These lower dimensional objects provide useful insight, with interpretability favored by sparse…
Consider the symmetric group $S_n$ acting as a reflection group on the polynomial ring $k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$, where $k$ is a field such that Char$(k)$ does not divide $n!$. We use Higher Specht polynomials to construct matrix factorizations…
This is a survey on factorization theory. We discuss finitely generated monoids (including affine monoids), primary monoids (including numerical monoids), power sets with set addition, Krull monoids and their various generalizations, and…
Using the modified factorization method employed by Mielnik for the harmonic oscillator, we show that isospectral structures associated with a second order operator $H$, can always be constructed whenever $H$ could be factored, or exist…
To each symmetrizable Cartan matrix, we associate a finite free EI category. We prove that the corresponding category algebra is isomorphic to the algebra defined in [C. Geiss, B. Leclerc, and J. Schr\"{o}er, Quivers with relations for…
We study the problem of decomposition (non-commutative factorization) of linear ordinary differential operators near an irregular singular point. The solution (given in terms of the Newton diagram and the respective characteristic numbers)…
In a paper of 1974, Brian Day employed a notion of factorization system in the context of enriched category theory, replacing the usual diagonal lifting property with a corresponding criterion phrased in terms of hom-objects. We set forth…
The periodic cyclic homology of any proper dg category comes equipped with a canonical pairing. We show that in the case of the dg category of matrix factorizations of an isolated singularity the canonical pairing can be identified with the…
We announce recent results on a connection between factorization statistics of polynomials over a finite field and the structure of the cohomology of configurations in $\mathbb{R}^3$ as a representation of the symmetric group. This…
The structure of the category of matroids and strong maps is investigated: it has coproducts and equalizers, but not products or coequalizers; there are functors from the categories of graphs and vector spaces, the latter being faithful;…
