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…
For an unpunctured marked surface $\Sigma$, we consider a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{sl}_{3},\Sigma}^{q}$ consisting of $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-webs on $\Sigma$ with the boundary skein relations at marked points. We construct a quantum…
We consider two algebras of curves associated to an oriented surface of finite type - the cluster algebra from combinatorial algebra, and the skein algebra from quantum topology. We focus on generalizations of cluster algebras and…
The algebra of symmetric functions contains several interesting families of symmetric functions indexed by integer partitions or skew partitions. Given a sequence $\{u_n\}$ of symmetric functions taken from one of these families such that…
We construct finite-dimensional projective representations of the mapping class groups of compact connected oriented surfaces having one boundary component using stated skein algebras.
We describe an explicit finite presentation for a finite depth subfactor planar algebra. We also show that such planar algebras are singly generated with the generator subject to finitely many relations.
In this chapter, we discuss normal generators for mapping class groups of surfaces. Especially, we focus on the relation between normal generation of a mapping class with its asymptotic translation lengths on the Teichm\"uller space and the…
We investigate two algebra of curves on a topological surface with punctures - the cluster algebra of surfaces defined by Fomin, Shapiro, and Thurston, and the generalized skein algebra constructed by Roger and Yang. By establishing their…
To any directed graph we associate an algebra with edges of the graph as generators and with relations defined by all pairs of directed paths with the same origin and terminus. Such algebras are related to factorizations of polynomials over…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and a fixed invertible element $q^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Let $\mathcal{S}_n$ denote the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of the $n$-holed disk $\Sigma_{0,n+1}$ over $R$. When $q+q^{-1}$ is invertible, in…
This paper defines several algebras associated to an oriented surface $S$ with a finite set of marked points on the boundary. The first is the skein algebra $Sk_q(S)$, which is spanned by links in the surface which are allowed to have…
We propose a skein model for the quantum cluster algebras of surface type with coefficients. We introduce a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\Sigma,\mathbb{W}}^{A}$ of a walled surface $(\Sigma,\mathbb{W})$, and prove that it has a quantum…
An efficient algorithm for computing the branching structure of a compact Riemann surface defined via an algebraic curve is presented. Generators of the fundamental group of the base of the ramified covering punctured at the discriminant…
As an instance of a linear action of a Hopf algebra on a free associative algebra, we consider finite group gradings of a free algebra induced by gradings on the space spanned by the free generators. The homogeneous component corresponding…
To a compact oriented surface of genus at most one with boundary, we associate a quantized $K$-theoretic Coulomb branch in the sense of Braverman, Finkelberg, and Nakajima. In the case where the surface is a three- or four-holed sphere or a…
We give generators and relations for the planar algebras corresponding to $ADE$ subfactors. We also give a basis and an algorithm to express an arbitrary diagram as a linear combination of these basis diagrams.
This thesis studies skein relations in cluster algebras arising from punctured surfaces. We introduce skein-type identities expressing cluster variables associated with incompatible curves on a surface in terms of cluster variables…
In this article, we study the normal generation of the mapping class group. We first show that a mapping class is a normal generator if its restriction on the invariant subsurface normally generates the (pure) mapping class group of the…
We define a family of groups that include the mapping class group of a genus g surface with one boundary component and the integral symplectic group Sp(2g,Z). We then prove that these groups are finitely generated. These groups, which we…
Skein algebras of surfaces quantize character varieties of topological surfaces, and in low genus, these quantizations are often related to algebras arising in representation theory. For example, Terwilliger defined a universal $SL_2$…
