Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over a field $\mathrm{k}$ of characteristic $0$. Let $A$ be a linear mapping of $V$ into itself. This paper gives a normal form for $A$, which gives a better description of the structure of $A$…
Starting from the seminal example of the greedy normal norm in braid monoids, we analyse the mechanism of the normal form in a Garside monoid and explain how it extends to the more general framework of Garside families. Extending the…
We derive simplified normal forms for an area-preserving map in a neighbourhood of a degenerate resonant elliptic fixed point. Such fixed points appear in generic two-parameter families of area-preserving maps. We also derive a simplified…
We construct a normal form for the walled Brauer algebra, together with the reduction algorithm. We apply normal form to calculate the numbers of monomials in generators with minimal length. We further utilize normal form to give explicit…
Filamentary textures can take the form of braided, rope-like superstructures in nonlinear media such as plasmas and superfluids. The formation of similar superstructures in solids has been predicted, for example from flux lines in…
For a local analytic diffeomorphism of the plane with an irrational elliptic fixed point at 0, we introduce the notion of ``geometric normalization'', which includes the classical formal normalizations as a special case: it is a formal…
We revisit the geometric foundations of mesh representation through the lens of Plane-based Geometric Algebra (PGA), questioning its efficiency and expressiveness for discrete geometry. We find how $k$-simplices (vertices, edges, faces,…
We introduce a class of discrete models for surface relaxation. By exactly solving the master equation which governs the microscopic dynamics of the surface, we determine the steady state of the surface and calculate its roughness. We will…
Many computational algorithms applied to geometry operate on discrete representations of shape. It is sometimes necessary to first simplify, or coarsen, representations found in modern datasets for practicable or expedited processing. The…
We present a braid-theoretic approach to combinatorially computing knot Floer homology. To a knot or link K, which is braided about the standard disk open book decomposition for (S^3,\xi_std), we associate a corresponding multi-pointed nice…
A degree-regular triangulation is one in which each vertex has identical degree. Our main result is that any such triangulation of a (possibly non-compact) surface $S$ is geometric, that is, it is combinatorially equivalent to a geodesic…
We consider the asymmetric simple exclusion process with Langmuir kinetics on a periodic lattice. We analytically obtain the exact time evolution of correlation functions with arbitrary length starting from the initial state with no…
A braided generalization of the concept of Hopf algebra (quantum group) is presented. The generalization overcomes an inherent geometrical inhomogeneity of quantum groups, in the sense of allowing completely pointless objects. All…
A basic problem in linear particle optics is to find a symplectic transformation that brings the (symmetric) beam matrix to a special diagonal form, called normal form. The conventional way to do this involves an eigenvalue-decomposition of…
In this paper we consider completed coverings that are branched coverings in the sense of Fox. For completed coverings between PL manifolds we give a characterization of the existence of a monodromy representation and the existence of a…
Path algebras are a convenient way of describing decompositions of tensor powers of an object in a tensor category. If the category is braided, one obtains representations of the braid groups $B_n$ for all $n\in \N$. We say that such…
In this paper we introduce distinct approaches to loop braid groups, a generalisation of braid groups, and unify all the definitions that have appeared so far in literature, with a complete proof of the equivalence of these definitions.…
Motivated by an error-correcting generalization of Bachet's weights problem, we define and classify relaxed complete partitions. We show that these partitions enjoy a succinct description in terms of lattice points in polyhedra, with…
We establish a braid monodromy representation of functions satisfying an algebraic equation containing three terms (trinomial equation). We follow global analytic continuation of the roots to a trinomial algebraic equation that are…
We study several aspects of the regular deformations of completely integrable systems. Namely, we prove the existence of a Hamiltonian normal form for these deformations and we show the necessary and sufficient conditions a perturbation has…
