We prove that a smooth projective surface $S$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$ is birational to an abelian surface if $P_1(S)=P_4(S)=1$ and $h^1(S,\mathcal{O}_S)=2$.
We generalize the construction of the bracelet and bangle bases defined by Musiker, Schiffler and Williams, and the band basis defined by D. Thurston to cluster algebras arising from orbifolds. We prove that the bracelet bases are positive,…
We propose a skein model for the quantum cluster algebras of surface type with coefficients. We introduce a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\Sigma,\mathbb{W}}^{A}$ of a walled surface $(\Sigma,\mathbb{W})$, and prove that it has a quantum…
We point out that any stable generalized complex structure on a sphere bundle over a closed surface of genus at least two must be of constant type.
The Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a surface is a generalization of the Jones polynomial invariant for links and plays a principal role in the Witten-Reshetikhin- Turaev topological quantum field theory. However, the multiplicative…
The aim of this work is to investigate the structure of some skew twisted algebras, when the coefficient ring is a localization of the polynomial ring over the field of characteristic zero, and an involution is provided. A parallel…
It is shown that, under some natural assumptions, the tensor product of differentially smooth algebras and the skew-polynomial rings over differentially smooth algebras are differentially smooth.
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and a fixed invertible element $q^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Let $\mathcal{S}_n$ denote the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of the $n$-holed disk $\Sigma_{0,n+1}$ over $R$. When $q+q^{-1}$ is invertible, in…
This paper is a report on a computer check of some positivity properties of the Hecke algebra in type H4, including the non-negativity of the coefficients of the structure constants in the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis. This answers a long-standing…
We consider two algebras of curves associated to an oriented surface of finite type - the cluster algebra from combinatorial algebra, and the skein algebra from quantum topology. We focus on generalizations of cluster algebras and…
In this paper, we prove that positivity of denominator vectors holds for any skew-symmetric cluster algebra.
We compute the Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants of surfaces in terms of projective representations of groups. As an application we prove that the complex Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants of surfaces of positive genus are positive integers.
We consider the Quantum Inverse Scattering Method with a new R-matrix depending on two parameters $q$ and $t$. We find that the underlying algebraic structure is the two-parameter deformed algebra $SU_{q,t}(2)$ enlarged by introducing an…
We construct "quantum theta bases," extending the set of quantum cluster monomials, for various versions of skew-symmetric quantum cluster algebras. These bases consist precisely of the indecomposable universally positive elements of the…
Continuing to our previous work [IY21](arXiv:2101.00643) on the $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-case, we introduce a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{sp}_4,\Sigma}^{q}$ consisting of $\mathfrak{sp}_4$-webs on a marked surface $\Sigma$ with certain…
We show that the structure constants of $k$-Lie algebras, $k>3$, with a positive definite metric are the sum of the volume forms of orthogonal $k$-planes. This generalizes the result for $k=3$ in arXiv:0804.2662 and arXiv:0804.3078, and…
We study the skein algebras of surfaces associated to the exceptional Lie group $G_2,$ using Kuperberg webs. We identify two 2-variable polynomials, $P_n(x,y)$ and $Q_n(x,y),$ and use threading operations along knots to construct a family…
We calculate the Roger-Yang skein algebra of the annulus with two interior punctures, $ \mathcal S^{RY}(\Sigma_{0, 2, 2})$, and show there is a surjective homomorphism from this algebra to the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of the closed…
For a surface $F$, the Kauffman bracket skein module of $F \times [0,1]$, denoted $K(F)$, admits a natural multiplication which makes it an algebra. When specialized at a complex number $t$, nonzero and not a root of unity, we have…
When the quantum parameter $q^{\frac{1}{2}}$ is a root of unity of odd order and the punctured bordered surface has nonempty boundary, we prove the fraction ring of the stated skein algebra (that is the localization over all nonzero…
