We define a tower of affine Temperley-Lieb algebras of type $\tilde{A_{n}}$ and we define Markov elements in those algebras. We prove that any trace over an affine Temperley-Lieb algebras of type $\tilde{A_{2}}$ is uniquely defined by its…

The determination of the braid index of an oriented link is generally a hard problem. In the case of alternating links, some significant progresses have been made in recent years which made explicit and precise braid index computations…

In his proof of the K(pi,1) conjecture for complex reflection arrangements, Bessis defined Garside categories suitable for studying braid groups of centralizers of Springer regular elements in well-generated complex reflection groups. We…

Braid groups may be defined for every Coxeter diagram. Artin's braid group is of type A. Analogs of Temperley-Lieb, Hecke and Birman-Wenzl algebras exist for B-type. Our general hypothethis is that the braid group of B-type replaces Artin's…

We give a description of certain categories of equivariant coherent sheaves on Grothendieck's resolution in terms of the categorical affine Hecke algebra of Soergel. As an application, we deduce a relationship of these coherent sheaf…

In the note, we give a proof, based on the Generalized Thom Conjecture, of Bennequin's Theorem on upper bound for the Euler number of a link which is considered as a closed braid. A lower bound for the Euler number of a link is also given.

We consider the topological complexity of subgroups of Artin's braid group consisting of braids whose associated permutations lie in some specified subgroup of the symmetric group. We give upper and lower bounds for the topological…

In this paper we construct and study an action of the affine braid group associated to a semi-simple algebraic group on derived categories of coherent sheaves on various varieties related to the Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone. In…

We construct a finite dimensional quiver algebra from the non-simply laced type $B$ Dynkin diagram, which we call the type $B$ zigzag algebra. This leads to a faithful categorical action of the type $B$ braid group $\mathcal{A}(B)$, acting…

Building further on work of Marin and Wagner, we give a cubic braid-type skein theory of the Links--Gould polynomial invariant of oriented links and prove that it can be used to evaluate any oriented link, adding this polynomial to the list…

Finite Temperley-Lieb (TL) algebras are diagram-algebra quotients of (the group algebra of) the famous Artin's braid group $B_N$, while the affine TL algebras arise as diagram algebras from a generalized version of the braid group. We study…

This paper studies quantum symmetric pairs $(\widetilde{\mathbf U}, \widetilde{{\mathbf U}}^\imath )$ associated with quasi-split Satake diagrams of affine type $A_{2r-1}, D_r, E_{6}$ with a nontrivial diagram involution fixing the affine…

We establish the main saturation conjecture in [BGS10] connected with executing a Brun sieve in the setting of an orbit of a group of affine linear transformations. This is carried out under the condition that the Zariski closure of the…

A projective link is a smooth closed 1-submanifold of the real projective space of dimension three. A projective link is said to be affine if it is isotopic to a link, which does not intersect some projective plane. The main result: a…

We study compact and locally compact topological analogues of the Byott--Vendramin solvability problem for finite skew braces, asking whether solvability of the additive group forces solvability of the multiplicative group. Our main theorem…

We give a short proof for the fact, already proven by Thomas Haettel, that the arbitrary intersection of parabolic subgroups in Euclidean Braid groups $A[\tilde{A}_n]$ is again a parabolic subgroup. To that end, we use that the…

In this paper, we establish a bijection between the infinite reduced words of an affine Weyl group and certain biclosed sets of its positive system and determine all finitely generated biclosed sets in the positive system of an affine Weyl…

In this paper we introduce the tied links, i.e. ordinary links provided with some ties between strands. The motivation for introducing such objects originates from a diagrammatical interpretation of the defining generators of the so-called…

We say that a group $G$ is of \textit{profinite type} if it can be realized as a Galois group of some field extension. Using Krull's theory, this is equivalent to the ability of $G$ to be equipped with a profinite topology. We also say that…

Let $U_q'(\mathfrak{g})$ be an arbitrary quantum affine algebra of either untwisted or twisted type, and let $\mathscr{C}_{\mathfrak{g}}^0$ be its Hernandez-Leclerc category. We denote by $\mathsf{B}$ the braid group determined by the…
