We define a measure of "complexity" of a braid which is natural with respect to both an algebraic and a geometric point of view. Algebraically, we modify the standard notion of the length of a braid by introducing generators $\Delta\_{ij}$,…
We give generators for a certain complex hyperbolic braid group. That is, we remove a hyperplane arrangement from complex hyperbolic $13$-space, take the quotient of the remaining space by a discrete group, and find generators for the…
The nonnegative Grassmannian is a cell complex with rich geometric, algebraic, and combinatorial structures. Its study involves interesting combinatorial objects, such as positroids and plabic graphs. Remarkably, the same combinatorial…
We prove that for the action of a finite constant group scheme, equivariant algebraic $K$-theory is represented by a colimit of Grassmannians in the equivariant motivic homotopy category. Using this result we show that the set of…
We study representations of the braid groups from braiding gapped boundaries of Dijkgraaf-Witten theories and their twisted generalizations, which are (twisted) quantum doubled topological orders in two spatial dimensions. We show that the…
We investigate the braid group representations arising from categories of representations of twisted quantum doubles of finite groups. For these categories, we show that the resulting braid group representations always factor through finite…
In the present paper, we construct a variant of the Burau representation of two generalizations of the classical braid group. For the Gassner representation, we propose an iterative procedure to find and generalize the extension of this…
The homogeneous coordinate ring of the Grassmannian $\rm{Gr}(k,n)$ has a well-known cluster structure. There is a categorification of this cluster structure via a category of modules for a ring $A_{k,n}$ due to Jensen-King-Su, building on…
Let A be an arrangement of complex hyperplanes. The fundamental group of the complement of A is determined by a braid monodromy homomorphism from a finitely generated free group to the pure braid group. Using the Gassner representation of…
The Grassmannian of affine subspaces is a natural generalization of both the Euclidean space, points being zero-dimensional affine subspaces, and the usual Grassmannian, linear subspaces being special cases of affine subspaces. We show…
In a previous paper we have defined a second basis of the Grothendieck group of a split reductive group over a finite field. In this paper we extend this to the case of nonsplit special orthogonal groups.
We construct a quadratic Morse-Bott function on the real Grassmannian of a symplectic vector space from a compatible linear complex structure. We show that its critical loci consist of linear subspaces that split into isotropic and complex…
In this paper the K-Theory and the category of homogeneous vector bundles on the symplectic Grassmannian SpGr(2,N) of isotropic 2-planes are discussed.
We study the cohomology of the hairy graph complexes which compute the rational homotopy of embedding spaces, generalizing the Vassiliev invariants of knot theory. We provide spectral sequences converging to zero whose first pages contain…
This work presents an approach towards the representation theory of the braid groups $B_n$. We focus on finite-dimensional representations over the field of Laurent series which can be obtained from representations of infinitesimal braids,…
A result of Allock [1](arXiv:math/9907194) states that certain orbifold braid groups contain Artin groups of type $D_n$, $\tilde{B}_n$ and $\tilde{D}_n$ as finite index subgroups. The underlying orbifolds have at most two cone points of…
Gaudin hamiltonians form families of r-dimensional abelian Lie subalgebras of the holonomy Lie algebra of the arrangement of reflection hyperplanes of a Coxeter group of rank r. We consider the set of principal Gaudin subalgebras, which is…
Using quaternions and octonions, we construct some maps from the Grassmannian of 2-dimensional planes of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $\mathrm{Gr}_2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, to the projective space $\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^k$, for certain values of $n$ and $k$. All…
In this paper, we define generalized braid theories in alignment with the language of Fenn and Bartholomew for knot theories, and compute a generating set for the pure generalized braid theories. Using this, we prove that every oriented…
The bisymplectic Grassmannian I$_2$Gr$(k, V)$ parametrizes k-dimensional subspaces of a vector space V which are isotropic with respect to two general skew-symmetric forms; it is a Fano variety which admits an action of a torus with a…
