We give a geometric interpretation of Bar-Natan's universal invariant for the class of tangles in the 3-ball with four ends: we associate with such 4-ended tangles $T$ multicurves $\widetilde{\operatorname{BN}}(T)$, that is, collections of…

We construct a Hennings type logarithmic invariant for restricted quantum $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ at a $2\mathsf{p}$-th root of unity. This quantum group $U$ is not braided, but factorizable. The invariant is defined for a pair: a 3-manifold $M$…

We define a new topological invariant of line arrangements in the complex projective plane. This invariant is a root of unity defined under some combinatorial restrictions for arrangements endowed with some special torsion character on the…

The first part of this paper exposits a simple geometric description of the Kirby-Siebenmann invariant of a 4--manifold in terms of a quadratic refinement of its intersection form. This is the first in a sequence of higher-order…

We show that (as conjectured by Lin and Wang) when a Vassiliev invariant of type $m$ is evaluated on a knot projection having $n$ crossings, the result is bounded by a constant times $n^m$. Thus the well known analogy between Vassiliev…

We give a simple axiomatic definition of a rational-valued invariant s(W,V,e) of triples (W,V,e), where W is a (smooth, oriented, closed) 6-manifold and V is a 3-submanifold of W, and where e is a second rational cohomology class of the…

The moduli space $M$ of semi-stable rank 2 bundles with trivial determinant over a complex curve carries involutions naturally associated to 2-torsion points on the Jacobian of the curve. For every lift of a 2-torsion point to a 4-torsion…

We study permutation-invariant embeddings of $d$-dimensional point sets, which are defined by sorting $D$ independent one-dimensional projections of the input. Such embeddings arise in graph deep learning where outputs should be invariant…

Let K be the space of long j-knots in R^n. In this paper we introduce a graph complex D and a linear map I from D to the de Rham complex of K via configuration space integral, and prove that (1) when both n>j>=3 are odd, the map I is a…

We prove a combinatorial rule for a complete decomposition, in terms of Langlands parameters, for representations of p-adic $GL_n$ that appear as parabolic induction from a large family (ladder representations). Our rule obviates the need…

This paper describes the relationship between the first non-vanishing Milnor invariants of a classical link and the intersection invariant of a twisted Whitney tower. This is a certain 2-complex in the 4-ball, built from immersed disks…

Let $\mathbb H$ be the finite direct sums of $H^2(\mathbb D)$. In this paper, we give a characterization of the closed subspaces of $\mathbb H$ which are invariant under the shift, thus obtaining a concrete Beurling-type theorem for the…

We introduce twelve polynomial invariants for long virtual knots, called intersection polynomials, extending and refining the three intersection polynomials for virtual knots. They are defined via intersection numbers of cycles on a closed…

Given any oriented link diagram, one can construct knot invariants using skein relations. Usually such a skein relation contains three or four terms. In this paper, the author introduces several new ways to smooth a crossings, and uses a…

Using the conjugation symmetry on Heegaard Floer complexes, we define a three-manifold invariant called involutive Heegaard Floer homology, which is meant to correspond to $\mathbb{Z}_4$-equivariant Seiberg-Witten Floer homology. Further,…

We explore how the invariants $J^+$, $J^-$, $\mathcal{J}_1$ and $\mathcal{J}_2$ of immersions -- generic (at most double points and only transverse intersections) planar smooth closed curves with non-vanishing derivative -- change under…

Given a newform f, we extend Howard's results on the variation of Heegner points in the Hida family of f to a general quaternionic setting. More precisely, we build big Heegner points and big Heegner classes in terms of compatible families…

We study three knot invariants related to smoothly immersed disks in the four-ball. These are the four-ball crossing number, which is the minimal number of normal double points of such a disk bounded by a given knot; the slicing number,…

We compute the second variation of the \lambda-invariant, recently introduced by S. Zhang, on the complex moduli space M_g of curves of genus g>1, using work of N. Kawazumi. As a result we prove that (8g+4)\lambda is equal, up to a…

The HKR (Hennings-Kauffman-Radford) framework is used to construct invariants of 4-thickenings of 2-dimensional CW complexes under 2-deformations (1- and 2- handle slides and creations and cancellations of 1-2 handle pairs). The input of…
