We determine precisely the number of irreducible summands of an irreducible cross characteristic representation of $GL_{n}(q)$ on restriction to $SL_{n}(q)$. Combined with a recent result of C. Bonnafe, this yields a canonical labeling for…
The quantum enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ (and the quantum Schur algebras) was constructed by Beilinson-Lusztig-MacPherson as the convolution algebra of $GL_d$-invariant functions over the space of pairs of partial $n$-step flags…
Temperley-Lieb algebras have been generalized to sl(3) web spaces. Since a cubic bipartite planar graph with suitable directions on edges is a web, the quantum sl(3) invariants naturally extend to all cubic bipartite planar graphs. First we…
We equip Ellis and Brundan's version of the odd categorified quantum group for sl(2) with a differential giving it the structure of a graded dg-2-supercategory. The presence of the super grading gives rise to two possible…
We initiate the investigation of representation theory of non-orientable surfaces. As a first step towards finding an additive categorification of Dupont and Palesi's quasi-cluster algebras associated marked non-orientable surfaces, we…
Hindman's celebrated Finite Sums Theorem, and its high-dimensional version due to Milliken and Taylor, are extended from covers of countable sets to covers of arbitrary topological spaces with Menger's classic covering property. The methods…
The geometric realizations of Lusztig's symmetries of symmetrizable quantum groups are given in this paper. This construction is a generalization of that in [19].
We introduce \textit{Niebrzydowski algebras}, algebraic structures with a ternary operation and a partially defined multiplication, with axioms motivated by the Reidemeister moves for $Y$-oriented trivalent spatial graphs and…
We construct a family of graded isomorphisms between certain subquotients of diagrammatic Cherednik algebras as the quantum characteristic, multicharge, level, degree, and weighting are allowed to vary; this provides new structural…
For a 3-manifold $M$ and an acyclic $\mathit{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-representation $\rho$ of its fundamental group, the $\mathit{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-Reidemeister torsion $\tau_\rho(M) \in \mathbb{C}^\times$ is defined. If there are only finitely…
An purely algebraic proof of the PBW theorem of U_q(gl(m,n)) is given. Lusztig's conjecture is extended to the super case. The Lusztig's tensor product theorem is established.
We define an $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$-Casson invariant of closed 3-manifolds. We also observe procedures of computing the invariants in terms of Reidemeister torsions. We discuss some approach of giving the Casson invariant some gradings.
We give explicit resolutions of all finite dimensional, simple $U_q(\mathfrak{sl_3})$-modules. We use these resolutions to categorify the colored $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-invariant of framed links via a complex of complexes of graded…
A (finite, undirected) graph is $(n,k)$-colourable if we can assign each vertex a $k$-subset of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ so that adjacent vertices receive disjoint subsets. We consider the following problem: if a graph is $(n,k)$-colourable, then…
A solution to a problem of Erd\H{o}s, Rubin and Taylor is obtained by showing that if a graph $G$ is $(a:b)$-choosable, and $c/d > a/b$, then $G$ is not necessarily $(c:d)$-choosable. The simplest case of another problem, stated by the same…
We prove explicit approximation hardness results for the Graphic TSP on cubic and subcubic graphs as well as the new inapproximability bounds for the corresponding instances of the (1,2)-TSP. The proof technique uses new modular…
The solution of the Drinfeld equation corresponding to the full set of different carrier subalgebras in sl(3) are explicitly constructed. The obtained Hopf structures are studied. It is demonstrated that the presented twist deformations can…
We prove that polynomial calculus (and hence also Nullstellensatz) over any field requires linear degree to refute that sparse random regular graphs, as well as sparse Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graphs, are $3$-colourable. Using the known…
Recently, Braunstein et al. [1] introduced normalized Laplacian matrices of graphs as density matrices in quantum mechanics and studied the relationships between quantum physical properties and graph theoretical properties of the underlying…
The higher Sylvester waves are discussed. Techniques used involve finite difference operators. For example, using Herschel's theorem, elegant expressions for Euler's rational functions and the Todd operator are found. Derivative expansions…
