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 n-strand braid group can be defined as the fundamental group of the configuration space of n unlabeled points in a closed disk based at a configuration where all n points lie in the boundary of the disk. Using this definition, the…

We associate to every positive braid a braid monodromy group, generalizing the geometric monodromy group of an isolated plane curve singularity. If the closure of the braid is a knot, we identify the corresponding group with a framed…

We use the theory of regular objects in tensor categories to clarify the passage between braided multiplicative unitaries and multiplicative unitaries with projection. The braided multiplicative unitary and its semidirect product…

A general problem in complex cobordism theory is to find useful representatives for cobordism classes. One particularly convenient class of complex manifolds consists of smooth projective toric varieties. The bijective correspondence…

We present the viewpoint of treating one-dimensional band structures as Riemann surfaces, linking the unique properties of non-Hermiticity to the geometry and topology of the Riemann surface. Branch cuts and branch points play a significant…

We introduce framed versions of the $L$-moves and prove a one move theorem for the extension of the Markov theorem for framed braids. We further introduce framed versions of the Hilden and Pure Hilden groups, we give presentations and we…

A diagram of groupoid correspondences is a homomorphism to the bicategory of \'etale groupoid correspondences. We study examples of such diagrams, including complexes of groups and self-similar higher-rank graphs. We encode the diagram in a…

The notion of a braid is generalized into two and three dimensions. Two-dimensional braids are described by braid monodromies or graphics called charts. In this paper we introduce the notion of curtains, and show that three-dimensional…

A VB-algebroid is essentially defined as a Lie algebroid object in the category of vector bundles. There is a one-to-one correspondence between VB-algebroids and certain flat Lie algebroid superconnections, up to a natural notion of…

A filtration of Soergel bimodules by virtual crossing bimodules extends to Rouquier's complexes associated with braid words. We show that these complexes are invariant up to filtered homotopy with respect to the second Reidemeister move,…

We unify and generalize several approaches to constructing braid group representations from finite groups, using iterated twisted tensor products. Our results hint at a relationship between the braidings on the $G$-gaugings of a pointed…

In this paper we introduce the framed pure braid group on $n$ strands of an oriented surface, a topological generalisation of the pure braid group $P_n$. We give different equivalents definitions for framed pure braid groups and we study…

We prove that the classical algebraic varieties over algebraically closed fields can be defined over arbitrary fields $k.$ Then we prove that for associative algebras $A$, there exist local representing objects $A_M$ for simple modules $M.$…

Presentations for unbraided, braided and symmetric pseudomonoids are defined. Biequivalences characterising the semistrict bicategories generated by these presentations are proven. It is shown that these biequivalences categorify results in…

Dehn twists around simple closed curves in oriented surfaces satisfy the braid relations. This gives rise to a group theoretic from the braid group to the mapping class group. We prove here that this map is trivial in stable homology with…

We show that the virtual singular braid monoid on $n$ strands embeds in a group $VSG_n$, which we call the virtual singular braid group on $n$ strands. The group $VSG_n$ contains a normal subgroup $VSPG_n$ of virtual singular pure braids.…

Twisted graph diagrams are virtual graph diagrams with bars on edges. A bijection between abstract graph diagrams and twisted graph diagrams is constructed. Then a polynomial invariant of Yamada-type is developed which provides a lower…
