The colorful Helly theorem and Tverberg's theorem are fundamental results in discrete geometry. We prove a theorem which interpolates between the two. In particular, we show the following for any integers $d \geq m \geq 1$ and $k$ a prime…
We prove a generalization of the topological Tverberg theorem. One special instance of our general theorem is the following: Let $\Delta$ denote the 8-dimensional simplex viewed as an abstract simplicial complex, and suppose that its…
For a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, the Jacobson--Morozov theorem gives a construction of subalgebras $\mathfrak{sl}_2 \subset \mathfrak{g}$ corresponding to nilpotent elements of $\mathfrak{g}$. In this note, we…
Let $G$ be a connected linear algebraic group over a number field $K$, let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated Zariski dense subgroup of $G(K)$ and let $Z\subseteq G(K)$ be a thin set, in the sense of Serre. We prove that, if…
We use Floer's exact triangle to study the u-map (cup product with the 4-dimensional class) in the Floer cohomology groups of admissible SO(3) bundles over closed, oriented 3-manifolds. In the case of non-trivial bundles we show that…
For a reduced hyperplane arrangement we prove the analytic Twisted Logarithmic Comparison Theorem, subject to mild combinatorial arithmetic conditions on the weights defining the twist. This gives a quasi-isomorphism between the twisted…
We present a short and clear proof of the following particular case of a 2006 result of Melikhov-Schepin: Let $K$ be a $k$-dimensional simplicial complex and $K*[3]$ the union of three cones over $K$ along their common bases. If $2d\ge3k+3$…
Consider a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and any of its moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}(A,\mathbf{d})^{ss}_{\theta}$ of representations. We prove a decomposition theorem which relates any irreducible component of…
We recover the family of non-semisimple quantum invariants of closed oriented 3-manifolds associated with the small quantum group of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ using purely combinatorial methods based on Temperley-Lieb algebras and Kauffman bracket…
There is a longstanding conjecture, due to Gregory Cherlin and Boris Zilber, that all simple groups of finite Morley rank are simple algebraic groups. One of the major theorems in the area is Borovik's trichotomy theorem. The "trichotomy"…
Using a Heegaard diagram for the pullback of a knot $K \subset S^3$ in its cyclic branched cover $\Sigma_m(K)$ obtained from a grid diagram for $K$, we give a combinatorial proof for the invariance of the associated combinatorial knot Floer…
We establish a "matrix simultaneous diagonalization theorem" for disconnected reductive groups which relaxes both the semisimplicity condition and the commutativity condition. As an application, we prove the following basic results…
We develop a topological framework in an attempt to generalize the classical colourful Caratheodory theorem by imposing an additional constraint. For that we introduce the notion of zero-avoding complexes and covering criteria for the…
We continue our study of the Noether-Lefschetz loci in toric varieties and investigate deformation of pairs (V,X) where V is a complete intersection subvariety and X a quasi-smooth hypersurface in a odd dimensional simplicial projective…
The Terwilliger algebra $T(x)$ of a finite connected simple graph $\Gamma$ with respect to a vertex $x$ is the complex semisimple matrix algebra generated by the adjacency matrix $A$ of $\Gamma$ and the diagonal matrices…
Let $R$ be a unitary commutative real algebra and $K\subseteq Hom(R,\mathbb{R})$, closed with respect to the product topology. We consider $R$ endowed with the topology $\mathcal{T}_K$, induced by the family of seminorms…
We prove the first nontrivial reconstruction theorem for modular tensor categories: the category associated to any twisted Drinfeld double of any finite group, can be realised as the representation category of a completely rational…
We prove the K- and L-theoretic Farrell-Jones Conjecture (with coefficients in additive categories) for virtually solvable groups.
Let $K$ be a nonempty finite subset of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^k$ $(k\ge 2)$. We prove that if a function $f\colon \mathbb{R}^k\to \mathbb{C}$ is such that the sum of $f$ on every congruent copy of $K$ is zero, then $f$ vanishes…
The coloured Tverberg theorem was conjectured by B\'ar\'any, Lov\'{a}sz and F\"uredi and asks whether for any d+1 sets (considered as colour classes) of k points each in R^d there is a partition of them into k colourful sets whose convex…
