We construct a functor from the category of oriented tangles in R^3 to the category of Hermitian modules and Lagrangian relations over Z[t,t^{-1}]. This functor extends the Burau representations of the braid groups and its generalization to…

The classifying spaces of handlebody groups form a modular operad. Algebras over the handlebody operad yield systems of representations of handlebody groups that are compatible with gluing. We prove that algebras over the modular operad of…

We give a method to construct new self-adjoint representations of the braid group. In particular, we give a family of irreducible self-adjoint representations of dimension arbitrarily large. Moreover we give sufficient conditions for a…

We show that single-variable polynomial functors over the category $\mathcal{S}$ of infinity groupoids, as defined by Gepner-Haugseng-Kock, are exactly colimits of representable copresheaves indexed by infinity groupoid. This allows us to…

There is a natural conjugation action on the set of endomorphism of $\P^N$ of fixed degree $d \geq 2$. The quotient by this action forms the moduli of degree $d$ endomorphisms of $\P^N$, denoted $\mathcal{M}_d^N$. We construct invariant…

In math.RT/0302174 we developed a framework to study representations of groups of the form $G((t))$, where $G$ is an algebraic group over a local field $K$. The main feature of this theory is that natural representations of groups of this…

The "2-variable general-$\lambda$-matrix polynomials (2VG$\lambda$MP)" is a new family of matrix polynomials, introduced and studied in this article. These matrix polynomials are constructed using umbral and symbolic methods. We delve into…

For any discrete group $\Gamma$ and any 2-dimensional complex representation $\rho$ of $\Gamma$, we introduce the notion of $\rho-$equivariant functions, and we show that they are parameterized by vector-valued modular forms. We also…

We introduce a precise notion, in terms of few Schlessinger's type conditions, of extended deformation functors which is compatible with most of recent ideas in the Derived Deformation Theory (DDT) program and with geometric examples. With…

We present definitions of homology groups associated to a family of amalgamation functors. We show that if the generalized amalgamation properties hold, then the homology groups are trivial. We compute the group H_2 for strong types in…

We classify various types of graded extensions of a finite braided tensor category $\cal B$ in terms of its $2$-categorical Picard groups. In particular, we prove that braided extensions of $\cal B$ by a finite group $A$ correspond to…

This work presents an approach towards the representation theory of the braid groups $B_n$. We focus on finite-dimensional representations over the field of Laurent series which can be obtained from representations of infinitesimal braids,…

Representation theorems relate seemingly complex objects to concrete, more tractable ones. In this paper, we take advantage of the abstraction power of category theory and provide a general representation theorem for a wide class of…

The goal of this paper is to prove coherence results with respect to relational graphs for monoidal monads and comonads, i.e. monads and comonads in a monoidal category such that the endofunctor of the monad or comonad is a monoidal functor…

We develop some aspects of the theory of derivators, pointed derivators, and stable derivators. As a main result, we show that the values of a stable derivator can be canonically endowed with the structure of a triangulated category.…

Chiral conformal blocks in a rational conformal field theory are a far going extension of Gauss hypergeometric functions. The associated monodromy representations of Artin's braid group capture the essence of the modern view on the subject,…

We study polynomial functors in the incompressible category $\text{Ver}_4^+$, which can be viewed as super polynomial functors in characteristic 2. Concretely, we classify additive, exact and simple polynomial functors, and describe how…

Consider a coring with exact rational functor, and a finitely generated and projective right comodule. We construct a functor (\emph{coinduction functor}) which is right adjoint to the hom-functor represented by this comodule. Using the…

We define and study extensions of Artin's representation and braid monodromy representation to the case of topological and algebraical generalisations of braid groups. In particular we provide faithful representations of braid groups of…

We introduce a new functor category: the category $\mathcal{P}_{d,n}$ of strict polynomial functors with bounded by $n$ domain of degree $d$ over a field of characteristic $p>0$. It is equivalent to the category of finite dimensional…
