Combinatorial aspects of multivariate diagonal invariants of the symmetric group are studied. As a consequence it is proved the existence of a multivariate extension of the classical Robinson-Schensted correspondence. Further byproduct are…
This is the sequel to the author's previous paper which gives an extension of Taubes' "SW=Gr" theorem to non-symplectic 4-manifolds. The main result of this paper asserts the following. Whenever the Seiberg-Witten invariants are defined…
We define relative Ruan invariants that count embedded connected symplectic submanifolds which contact a fixed stable symplectic hypersurface V in a symplectic 4-manifold (X,w) at prescribed points with prescribed contact orders (in…
Freed-Hopkins-Teleman expressed the Verlinde algebra as twisted equivariant K-theory. We study how to recover the full system (fusion algebra of defect lines), nimrep (cylindrical partition function), etc of modular invariant partition…
A key question in the study of N=2 supersymmetric string or field theories is to understand the decay of BPS bound states across walls of marginal stability in the space of parameters or vacua. By representing the potentially unstable bound…
This is a continuation of a previous joint work with Robert Weston on the quantum group invariant XXZ spin-chain (math-ph/0703085). The previous results on quasi-Hermiticity of this integrable model are briefly reviewed and then connected…
We study natural bases for two constructions of the irreducible representation of the symmetric group corresponding to $[n,n,n]$: the {\em reduced web} basis associated to Kuperberg's combinatorial description of the spider category; and…
This paper studies cutting and pasting groups (SK-groups) of pairs of manifolds. By a pair of manifolds we mean a manifold with a submanifold of strictly smaller dimension. Existing results in the unoriented category by Komiya are…
We introduce a Grothendieck group $E_n$ for bounded polytopes in $\mathbb R^n$. It differs from the usual Euclidean scissors congruence group in that lower-dimensional polytopes are not ignored. We also define an analogous group $L_n$ using…
The purpose of this note is to give an insertion scheme proof of the formula, $$p_\mu = \sum_{\lambda\vdash k} \chi^\lambda(\mu)s_\lambda,\formula$$ where $p_\mu$ is the power sum symmetric function, $s_\lambda$ is the Schur function and…
In previous work we have shown that the equivariant index of multi-centered N=2 black holes localizes on collinear configurations along a fixed axis. Here we provide a general algorithm for enumerating such collinear configurations and…
In this paper, we shall be concerned with a relation between TQFTs and cut and paste invariants introduced by Karras, Kreck, Neumann and Ossa. Cut and paste invariants, or SK invariants, are functions on the set of smooth manifolds that are…
Let $G$ be a split semisimple linear algebraic group over a field and let $X$ be a generic twisted flag variety of $G$. Extending the Hilbert basis techniques to Laurent polynomials over integers we give an explicit presentation of the…
The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, we define symplectic maps between Hitchin systems related to holomorphic bundles of different degrees. We call these maps the Symplectic Hecke Correspondence (SHC) of the corresponding Higgs…
Suppose $R$ is a commutative ring with identity and a fixed invertible element $q^{\frac{1}{2}}$ such that $q+q^{-1}$ is invertible. For an oriented surface $\Sigma$, let $\mathcal{S}(\Sigma;R)$ denote the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of…
We construct positive-genus analogues of Welschinger's invariants for many real symplectic manifolds, including the odd-dimensional projective spaces and the renowned quintic threefold. In some cases, our invariants provide lower bounds for…
An explicit construction is presented of homotopy-invariant iterated integrals on a Riemann surface of arbitrary genus in terms of a flat connection valued in a freely generated Lie algebra. The integration kernels consist of modular…
For a graph G embedded in an orientable surface \Sigma, we consider associated links L(G) in the thickened surface \Sigma \times I. We relate the HOMFLY polynomial of L(G) to the recently defined Bollobas-Riordan polynomial of a ribbon…
It is shown that the deformed Heisenberg algebra involving the reflection operator R (R-deformed Heisenberg algebra) has finite-dimensional representations which are equivalent to representations of paragrassmann algebra with a special…
We show that a version of dimensional interpolation for the Riemann--Roch--Hirzebruch formalism in the case of a grassmannian leads to an expression for the Euler characteristic of line bundles in terms of a Selberg integral. We propose a…
