This thesis is about the study of Lie groupoids endowed with a compatible (multiplicative) differential 1-form. The motivation and scope of the present work is to study the geometry of PDEs using the formalism of Lie groupoids and…
We define geodesic normal forms for the general series of complex reflection groups G(e,e,n). This requires the elaboration of a combinatorial technique in order to explicitly determine minimal word representatives of the elements of…
General results on multiplicative lattices found recently by Facchini, Finocchiaro and Janelidze have been studied in the particular case of groups by Facchini, de Giovanni and Trombetti. In this paper we prove that these results hold not…
This is an expository and introductory note on some results obtained in "Coisotropic embeddings in Poisson manifolds" (ArXiv math/0611480). Some original material is contained in the last two sections, where we consider linear Poisson…
This is a survey of some problems in geometric group theory which I find interesting. The problems are from different areas of group theory. Each section is devoted to problems in one area. It contains an introduction where I give some…
The text deals with generalizations of the Markoff equation in number theory, arising from continued fractions. It gives the method for the complete resolution of such new equations, and their interpretation in algebra and algebraic…
This is a survey paper of the theory of crystal bases, global bases and the cluster algebra structure on the quantum coordinate rings.
We show several geometric and algebraic aspects of a necklace: a link composed with a core circle and a series of circles linked to this core. We first prove that the fundamental group of the configuration space of necklaces (that we will…
This is an introductory article to the theory of multiple gaps.
In this paper we give new presentations of the braid groups and the pure braid groups of a closed surface. We also give an algorithm to solve the word problem in these groups, using the given presentations.
We present an overview of some recent developments in the theory of generalized formal series, grounded in diffeological geometric framework. These constructions aim to offer new tools for understanding infinite-dimensional phenomena in…
In this article, we develop an algebraic framework of axioms which abstracts various high-level properties of multi-qudit representations of generalized Clifford algebras. We further construct an explicit model and prove that it satisfies…
Bialgebras and Hopf (bi)modules are typical algebraic structures with several interacting operations. Their structural and homological study is therefore quite involved. We develop the machinery of braided systems, tailored for handling…
The theory of one-relator groups is now almost a century old. The authors therefore feel that a comprehensive survey of this fascinating subject is in order, and this document is an attempt at precisely such a survey. This article is…
This is Addendum to ``Structure of seeds in generalized cluster algebras'', Pacific J. Math. {277} (2015), 201--218. We extend the class of generalized cluster algebras studied therein to embrace examples in some applications.
We present a systematic introduction to the geometry of linear braided spaces. These are versions of $\R^n$ in which the coordinates $x_i$ have braid-statistics described by an R-matrix. From this starting point we survey the author's…
We give a survey of the theory of surface braid groups and the lower algebraic K-theory of their group rings. We recall several definitions and describe various properties of surface braid groups, such as the existence of torsion,…
Recently, Marin and Gonz\'alez-Meneses introduced a class of ``parabolic'' subgroups for generalized braid groups associated to arbitrary complex reflection groups. Using notably Garside group structures on these generalized braid groups,…
In this paper we begin the study of set-theoretic type solution of the braid equation. Our theory includes set-theoretical solutions as basic examples. We show that the relationships between set-theoretical solutions, q-cycle sets,…
These are the notes for an undergraduate course at the University of Edinburgh, 2021-2023. Assuming basic knowledge of ring theory, group theory and linear algebra, the notes lay out the theory of field extensions and their Galois groups,…
