It is known that reflection coefficients for bulk fields of a rational conformal field theory in the presence of an elementary boundary condition can be obtained as representation matrices of irreducible representations of the classifying…
Let $p: S\to S_g$ be a finite covering of an orientable closed surface of genus $g$. We prove that, for $g\geq 3$, the rational homology group $H_1(S;{\mathbb Q})$ is generated by cycles supported on simple closed curves $\gamma\subset S$…
The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…
Let S be a smooth cubic surface defined over a field K. As observed by Segre and Manin, there is a secant and tangent process on S that generates new K-rational points from old. It is natural to ask for the size of a minimal generating set…
In The factorization of the Giry monad (arXiv:1707.00488v2) the author considers two $\sigma$-algebras on convex spaces of functions to the unit interval. One of them is generated by the Boolean subobjects and the other is the…
We show that the twisted SL(2) skein algebra of a surface has a natural basis (the bracelets basis) that is positive, in the sense that the structure constants for multiplication are positive integers.
We describe a family of rational affine surfaces S with huge groups of automorphisms in the following sense: the normal subgroup of Aut(S) generated by all its algebraic subgroups is not generated by any countable family of such subgroups,…
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$ and let $\delta$ be a $\sigma$-derivation of $K$. We show that the division ring $D=K(x;\sigma,\delta)$ either has the property that every finitely generated…
For a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ admitting a non-trivial minuscule representation and a connected marked surface $\Sigma$ with at least two marked points and no punctures, we prove that the cluster algebra…
We consider finite-sheeted, regular, possibly branched covering spaces of compact surfaces with boundary and the associated liftable and symmetric mapping class groups. In particular, we classify when either of these subgroups coincides…
Continuing to our previous work [IY21](arXiv:2101.00643) on the $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-case, we introduce a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{sp}_4,\Sigma}^{q}$ consisting of $\mathfrak{sp}_4$-webs on a marked surface $\Sigma$ with certain…
We study the groups of automorphisms of rational algebraic surfaces that admit a relatively minimal pencil of curves of arithmetic genus one over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. In particular, we classify such…
Does there exist for any $\sigma$-algebra a minimal (with respect to inclusion) generating set? We formulate this problem and answer it in the very special instance of partition generated and standard measurable spaces, the general case…
A generating function of the number of homomorphisms from the fundamental group of a compact oriented or non-orientable surface without boundary into a finite group is obtained in terms of an integral over a real group algebra. We calculate…
Uhlenbeck proved that a set of simple elements generates the group of rational loops in GL(n,C) that satisfy the U(n)-reality condition. For an arbitrary complex reductive group, a choice of representation defines a notion of rationality…
Let $\Delta$ be a finite set of nonzero linear forms in several variables with coefficients in a field $\mathbf K$ of characteristic zero. Consider the $\mathbf K$-algebra $C(\Delta)$ of rational functions generated by $\{1/\alpha \mid…
We give an overview of some properties of Lie algebras generated by at most 5 extremal elements. In particular, for any finite graph {\Gamma} and any field K of characteristic not 2, we consider an algebraic variety X over K whose K-points…
This is an announcement of conjectures and results concerning the generating series of Euler characteristics of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces with simple (Kleinian) singularities. For a quotient surface C^2/G with G a finite…
Let $\Qbar$ denote the field of complex algebraic numbers. A discrete group $G$ is said to have the $\sigma$-multiplier algebraic eigenvalue property, if for every matrix $A$ with entries in the twisted group ring over the complex algebraic…
We give a necessary and sufficient smoothness condition for the scheme parameterizing the n-dimensional representations of a finitely generated associative algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In particular,…
