To study embeddings of tangles in knots, we use quandle cocycle invariants. Computations are carried out for the tables of knots and tangles, to investigate which tangles may or may not embed in knots in the tables.

In this paper, we classify torsion groups of rational Mordell curves explicitly over cubic fields as well as over sextic fields. Also, we classify torsion groups of Mordell curves over cubic fields and for Mordell curves over sextic fields,…

In this paper we describe a homotopy torsion theory in the category of small symmetric monoidal categories. Thanks to the use of natural isomorphisms as basis for the nullhomotopy structure, this homotopy torsion theory enjoys some…

In this paper, we combine group-theoretic and combinatorial techniques to study $\wedge$-transitive digraphs admitting a cartesian decomposition of their vertex set. In particular, our approach uncovers a new family of digraphs that may be…

By considering homotopies that preserve the stratification, one obtains a natural notion of homotopy for stratified spaces. In this short note, we introduce invariants of stratified homotopy, the stratified homotopy groups. We show that…

We prove a geometrical version of Herbert's theorem by considering the self-intersection immersions of a self-transverse immersion up to bordism. This generalises Herbert's theorem to additional cohomology theories and gives a commutative…

We study and classify representations of a torsion group $G$ over an idempotent semifield with special attention on the case over the Boolean semifield $\mathbb{B}$. In subsequent work we extend this theory to studying representations of…

In this paper we study the cobordism of algebraic knots associated with weighted homogeneous polynomials, and in particular Brieskorn polynomials. Under some assumptions we prove that the associated algebraic knots are cobordant if and only…

This paper will be concerned with proving that certain Whitehead groups of torsion-free elementary amenable groups are torsion groups and related results, and then applying these results to the Bass conjecture. In particular we shall…

We show that the string coproduct is not homotopy invariant. More precisely, we show that the (reduced) coproducts are different on $L(1,7)$ and $L(2,7)$. Moreover, the coproduct on $L(k,7)$ can be expressed in terms of the Reidemeister…

In this article, we study the twisting procedure of orbifold cohomology. We introduce local system and construct twisted orbifold cohomology. Then, we generalize Vafa-Witten's notion of discrete torsion to general orbifold and examine its…

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 study Lagrangian cobordism groups of oriented surfaces of genus greater than two. We compute the immersed oriented Lagrangian cobordism group of these surfaces. We show that a variant of this group, with relations given by unobstructed…

We give a geometric interpretation of sheaf cohomology for higher degrees n in terms of torsors on the member of degree d=n-1 in hypercoverings of type r=n-2, endowed with an additional data, the so-called rigidification. This generalizes…

We study various invariants, such as cohomology groups, derivations, automorphisms and infinitesimal deformations, of algebraic operads and show that $\mathcal{A}ss$, $\mathcal{C}com$, $\mathcal{L}ie$ and $\mathcal{P}ois$ are rigid or…

We consider the question of when the dual of a Whitehead group is a test group for Whitehead groups. This turns out to be equivalent to the question of when the tensor product of two Whitehead groups is Whitehead. We investigate what…

We prove some injectivity theorems. Our proof depends on the theory of mixed Hodge structures on cohomology groups with compact support. Our injectivity theorems would play crucial roles in the minimal model theory for higher-dimensional…

The Chern isomorphism determines the free part of the K-groups from ordinary cohomology. Thus to really understand the implications of K-theory for physics one must look at manifolds with K-torsion. Unfortunately there are not many explicit…

Let V be an n-dimensional vector space and let On be the orthogonal group. Motivated by a question of B. Szegedy (B. Szegedy, Edge coloring models and reflection positivity, Journal of the American Mathematical Society Volume 20, Number 4,…

We explain the notion of a grope cobordism between two knots in a 3-manifold. Each grope cobordism has a type that can be described by a rooted unitrivalent tree. By filtering these trees in different ways, we show how the Goussarov-Habiro…
