Using totally symmetric sets, Chudnovsky, Kordek, Li, and Partin gave a superexponential lower bound on the cardinality of non-abelian finite quotients of the braid group. In this paper, we develop new techniques using multiple totally…

We prove that the quantum toroidal algebras $\mathcal{E}_\mathbf{s}$ associated with different root systems $\mathbf{s}$ of $\mathfrak{gl}_{m|n}$ type are isomorphic. We also show the existence of Miki automorphism of…

The aim of the present note is to show that the natural map from classical braids to virtual braids is an inclusion; this proof does not use any complete invariants of classical braids; it is based on the projection from virutal braids to…

The purpose of this article is to describe the integral cohomology of the braid group B_3 and SL_2(Z) with local coefficients in a classical geometric representation given by symmetric powers of the natural symplectic representation. These…

Knots and links represent a fundamental motif of non-local connectivity that permeates the physical sciences from string theory to protein folds. While spectral braiding has been explored in two-band non-Hermitian models across various…

This paper deals with links and braids up to link-homotopy, studied from the viewpoint of Habiro's clasper calculus. More precisely, we use clasper homotopy calculus in two main directions. First, we define and compute a faithful linear…

We define an action of the extended affine d-strand braid group on the open positroid stratum in the Grassmannian Gr(k,n), for d the greatest common divisor of k and n. The action is by quasi-automorphisms of the cluster structure on the…

We show that the group cohomology of the diffeomorphisms of the disk with $n$ punctures has the cohomology of the braid group of $n$ strands as the summand. As an application of this method, we also prove that there is no cohomological…

We explore the existence of homomorphisms between outer automorphism groups of free groups Out(F_n) \to Out(F_m). We prove that if n > 8 is even and n \neq m \leq 2n, or n is odd and n \neq m \leq 2n - 2, then all such homomorphisms have…

We deconstruct 16 rigid supersymmetry variations for M5 brane on $\mb{R}^{1,2}\times (S^3/{\mb{Z}_k})$ and obtain on-shell closure on Lie derivatives. Dimensional reduction on the Hopf fiber by taking $k\rightarrow \infty$ gives sYM on…

In the paper, we introduce the notion of a (virtual) multi-switch which generalizes the notion of a (virtual) switch. Using (virtual) multi-switches we introduce a general approach on how to construct representations of (virtual) braid…

We construct braid group actions on coideal subalgebras of quantized enveloping algebras which appear in the theory of quantum symmetric pairs. In particular, we construct an action of the semidirect product of Z^n and the classical braid…

Let R f = Z[A $\pm$1 ] be the algebra of Laurent polynomials in the variable A and let R a = Z[A $\pm$1 , z 1 , z 2 ,. .. ] be the algebra of Laurent polynomials in the variable A and standard polynomials in the variables z 1 , z 2 ,. .. .…

We calculate the singular instanton homology with local coefficients for the simplest n-strand braids in $S^1 \times S^2$ for all odd n, describing these homology groups and their module structures in terms of the coordinate rings of…

Denote the virtual cohomological dimension of SL_n(Z) by t=n(n-1)/2. Let St denote the Steinberg module of SL_n(Q) tensored with Q. Let Sh_* denote the sharbly resolution of the Steinberg module St. By Borel-Serre duality, the…

There is a natural action of the braid group on the symmetric matrices with units on the diagonal, appearing in various fields as Singularity Theory, Frobenius Manifolds or Isomonodromic deformations of certain classes of linear…

We discuss an infinite class of metabelian Von Neumann rho-invariants. Each one is a homomorphism from the monoid of knots to the real line. In general they are not well defined on the concordance group. Nonetheless, we show that they pass…

The main result of this article is that any braided (resp. annular, planar) diagram group $D$ splits as a short exact sequence $1 \to R \to D \to S \to 1$ where $R$ is a subgroup of some right-angled Artin group and $S$ a subgroup of…

In the context of finite type invariants, Stanford introduced a family of equivalence relations on knots defined by the lower central series of the pure braid groups and characterized the finite type invariants in terms of the structure of…

We ask if any finite type generalized braid group is a subgroup of some classical Artin braid group. We define a natural map from a given finite type generalized braid group to a classical braid group and ask if this map is an injective…
