Braided algebras are associative algebras endowed with a Yang-Baxter operator that satisfies certain compatibility conditions involving the multiplication. Along with Hochschild cohomology of algebras, there is also a notion of Yang-Baxter…
We introduce an associative algebra Z[X,S] associated to a birack shadow and define enhancements of the birack counting invariant for classical knots and links via representations of Z[X,S] known as shadow modules. We provide examples which…
We introduce and investigate a natural family of metrics on connected components of a rack. The metrics are closely related to certain bi-invariant metrics on the group of inner automorphisms of the rack. We also introduce a bounded…
We introduce a new topological invariant of complex line arrangements in the complex projective plane, derived from the interaction between their complement and the boundary of a regular neighbourhood. The motivation is to identify Zariski…
In this paper, we define and study (co)homology theories of a compatible associative algebra $A$. At first, we construct a new graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements are given by compatible associative structures. Then we define…
W. Rump showed that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between involutive right non-degenerate solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and Rump right quasigroups. J. S. Carter, M. Elhamdadi, and M. Saito, meanwhile, introduced a…
We construct an infinite family of homology theories of framed links in thickened surfaces, as well as a homology theory whose graded Euler characteristic is exactly the Kauffman bracket of the link in the surface. Both theories are based…
We introduce (co)homology theory for multiple group racks and construct cocycle invariants of compact oriented surfaces in the 3-sphere using their 2-cocycles, where a multiple group rack is a rack consisting of a disjoint union of groups.…
The aim of this paper is to define a homology theory for racks with finite rank N and use it to define invariants of knots generalizing the CJKLS 2-cocycle invariants related to the invariants defined in [15]. For this purpose, we prove…
We consider involutory virtual biracks with good involutions, also known as symmetric involutory virtual biracks. Any good involution on an involutory virtual birack defines an enhancement of the counting invariant. We provide examples…
We interpret the complexes defining rack cohomology in terms of a certain differential graded bialgebra. This yields elementary algebraic proofs of old and new structural results for this cohomology theory. For instance, we exhibit two…
We introduce a modified rack algebra Z[X] for racks X with finite rack rank N. We use representations of Z[X] into rings, known as rack modules, to define enhancements of the rack counting invariant for classical and virtual knots and…
We give a fresh introduction to the Khovanov Homology theory for knots and links, with special emphasis on its extension to tangles, cobordisms and 2-knots. By staying within a world of topological pictures a little longer than in other…
This paper generalizes the bordered-algebraic knot invariant introduced in an earlier paper, giving an invariant now with more algebraic structure. It also introduces signs to define these invariants with integral coefficients. We describe…
We study Coxeter racks over $\mathbb{Z}_n$ and the knot and link invariants they define. We exploit the module structure of these racks to enhance the rack counting invariants and give examples showing that these enhanced invariants are…
We provide a diagrammatic computation for the bilinear form, which is defined as the pairing between the (relative) cup products with every local coefficients and every integral homology 2-class of every links in the 3-sphere. As a…
In this paper, first, we introduce a notion of modified Rota-Baxter Lie algebras of weight $\mathrm{\lambda}$ with derivations (or simply modified Rota-Baxter LieDer pairs) and their representations. Moreover, we investigate cohomologies of…
We introduce new invariants in equivariant birational geometry and study their relation to modular symbols and cohomology of arithmetic groups.
The (co)homology theory of n-ary (co)compositions is a functor associating to $n$-ary (co)composition a complex. We present unified approach to the cohomology theory of coassociative and Lie coalgebras and for $2n$-ary cocompositions. This…
In this paper we construct "structural" pre-braidings characterizing different algebraic structures: a rack, an associative algebra, a Leibniz algebra and their representations. Some of these pre-braidings seem original. On the other hand,…
