Idempotents yield much insight in the structure of finite semigroups and semirings. In this article, we obtain some results on (multiplicatively) idempotents of the endomorphism semiring of a finite chain. We prove that the set of all…

This article addresses two central problems in the theory of quandle rings. First, motivated by Conjecture 3.10 in Internat. J. Math. 34 (2023), no. 3, Paper No. 2350011: for a semi-latin quandle $X$, every nonzero idempotent in the…

We provide a complete characterization of the equivariant commutative ring structures of all the factors in the idempotent splitting of the G-equivariant sphere spectrum, including their Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel norms, where G is any finite…

This note describes a strictly-unital $A_\infty$-category whose representations are exact triangles such that the three-fold symmetry on exact triangles is manifest on the $A_\infty$-category.

We prove a categorical version of the Torelli theorem for cubic threefolds. More precisely, we show that the non-trivial part of a semi-orthogonal decomposition of the derived category of a cubic threefold characterizes its isomorphism…

It is proved that the third Mac Lane cohomology group of a ring R with coefficients in a bimodule B classifies categorical rings having R as the ring of isomorphism classes of objects and B as the bimodule of automorphisms of the neutral…

A tangent category is a category with an endofunctor, called the tangent bundle functor, which is equipped with various natural transformations that capture essential properties of the classical tangent bundle of smooth manifolds. In this…

We define a subcategory of the category of diffeological spaces, which contains smooth manifolds, the diffeomorphism subgroups and its coadjoint orbits. In these spaces we construct a tangent bundle, vector fields and a de Rham cohomology.

For each circle bundle $S^1\to X\to\Sigma_g$ over a surface with genus $g\ge2$, there is a natural surjection $\pi:Homeo^+(X)\to Mod(\Sigma_g)$. When $X$ is the unit tangent bundle $U\Sigma_g$, it is well-known that $\pi$ splits. On the…

Idempotent elements play a fundamental role in ring theory, as they encode significant information about the underlying algebraic structure. In this paper, we study idempotent matrices from two perspectives. First, we analyze the partially…

This paper gives two new combinatorial topological proofs of the classification of rational tangles. Each proof rests on an elegant lemma showing that rational tangles are isotopic to canonical alternating rational tangles. The first proof…

This paper explores a new perspective on the universality of the vertical lift in tangent categories by presenting a categorification of the dimension of smooth manifolds. The universality of the vertical lift is a key part of the axioms of…

In this paper, we investigate idempotents in quandle rings and relate them with quandle coverings. We prove that integral quandle rings of quandles of finite type that are non-trivial coverings over nice base quandles admit infinitely many…

Just as knots and links can be algebraically described as certain morphisms in the category of tangles in 3 dimensions, compact surfaces smoothly embedded in R^4 can be described as certain 2-morphisms in the 2-category of `2-tangles in 4…
