We introduce a notion of cardinality for the augmentation category associated to a Legendrian knot or link in standard contact R^3. This `homotopy cardinality' is an invariant of the category and allows for a weighted count of…
In the framework of Abstract Differential Geometry, we show that to a given principal sheaf and a representation of its stuctural sheaf in $A^n$, where A is a sheaf of associative, commutative, unital algebras (over R or C), we associate a…
We develop the $p$-adic representation theory of $p$-adic Lie groups on solid vector spaces over a complete non-archimedean extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. More precisely, we define and study categories of solid, solid locally analytic and…
In this paper, we determine the connective K-cohomology with reality of elementary abelian $2$-groups as a module over $\mathbb{Z}[v_1,a]$, where $v_1$ is the equivariant Bott class and $a$ the Euler class of the sign representation. This…
These lecture notes were prepared for the workshop ``Algebraic Geometry: Presentations by Young Researchers'' in Snowbird, Utah, July 2004, and for the autumn school in Lukecin, Poland, September 2004. In six lectures I attempted to present…
We give an example of geometric construction (via Hecke correspondences) of certain representations of the affine Lie algebra $\hat{gl}_n$. The construction is similar to the one of [FK] for the Lie algebra $sl_n$. Given a surface with a…
We use the spanning tree model for Khovanov homology to study Legendrian links. This leads to an alternative proof for Ng's Khovanov bound for the Thurston-Bennequin number and to both a necessary and a sufficient condition for this bound…
We introduce and study the category of modular (i.e. with coefficient of positive characteristic) monodromic perverse sheaves on complex stratified $T$-varieties, with $T$ a complex algebraic torus. In particular, we show that under…
We introduce a quotient of the affine Temperley-Lieb category that encodes all weight-preserving linear maps between finite-dimensional sl(2)-representations. We study the diagrammatic idempotents that correspond to projections onto…
This is an expanded version of the text ``Perverse Sheaves on Loop Grassmannians and Langlands Duality'', AG/9703010. The main new result is a topological realization of algebraic representations of reductive groups over arbitrary rings. We…
We study sheaves in the context of a duality theory for lattice structure endowed with extra operations, and in the context of forcing in a topos. Using Sheaf duality theory of Comer for cylindric algebras, we give a representation theorem…
We determine the homotopy type of the spaces of several Legendrian knots and links with the maximal Thurston--Bennequin invariant. In particular, we give a recursive formula of the homotopy type of the space of Legendrian embeddings of…
We show that for any Legendrian link $L$ in the $1$-jet space of $S^1$ the $2$-graded ruling polynomial, $R^2_L(z)$, is determined by the Thurston-Bennequin number and the HOMFLY-PT polynomial. Specifically, we recover $R^2_L(z)$ as a…
We study satellites of Legendrian knots in R^3 and their relation to the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra of the knot. In particular, we generalize the well-known correspondence between rulings of a Legendrian knot in R^3 and…
Let $Q$ be a quiver of type $\mathbb{A}_n$ with linear orientation and $\operatorname{rep}(Q,\mathbb{F}_1)$ the category of representations of $Q$ over the virtual field $\mathbb{F}_1$.It is proved that $\operatorname{rep}(Q,\mathbb{F}_1)$…
We produce the first examples relating non-orientable exact Lagrangian fillings of Legendrian links to cluster theory, showing that the ungraded augmentation variety of certain max-tb representatives of Legendrian $2$-bridge links is…
For any Legendrian knot or link in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we construct an $L_\infty$ algebra that can be viewed as an extension of the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra. The $L_\infty$ structure incorporates information from rational…
The Thurston-Bennequin invariant provides one notion of self-linking for any homologically-trivial Legendrian curve in a contact three-manifold. Here we discuss related analytic notions of self-linking for Legendrian knots in Euclidean…
A Laurent polynomial ring $A[t,1/t]$ with coefficients in a unital ring $A$ determines a category of quasi-coherent sheaves on the projective line over $A$; its $K$-theory is known to split into a direct sum of two copies of the $K$-theory…
Given any toric subvariety $Y$ of a smooth toric variety $X$ of codimension $k$, we construct a length $k$ resolution of $\mathcal O_Y$ by line bundles on $X$. Furthermore, these line bundles can all be chosen to be direct summands of the…
