Let X(1,3,a) be a crepant resolution of the quotient singularity C^3/G, where G is a diagonal cyclic subgroup of SL(3,\C) acting on C^3 with weights (1,3,a). For each such X(1,3,a), we construct a (Q,W)-configuration of spherical objects in…

We establish faithfulness of braid group actions generated by twists along an ADE configuration of $2$-spherical objects in a derived category. Our major tool is the Garside structure on braid groups of type ADE. This faithfulness result…

We prove that any `finite-type' component of a stability space of a triangulated category is contractible. The motivating example of such a component is the stability space of the Calabi--Yau-$N$ category $\mathcal{D}(\Gamma_N Q)$…

The braid group action on the bosonic extension of the quantum group has been introduced in recent works, and it can be regarded as a generalization of Lusztig's symmetries on the quantum group. In this notes, we prove the faithfulness of…

This paper gives a construction of braid group actions on the derived category of coherent sheaves on a variety $X$. The motivation for this is Kontsevich's homological mirror conjecture, together with the occurrence of certain braid group…

Using a quiver algebra of a cyclic quiver, we construct a faithful categorical action of the extended braid group of affine type A on its bounded homotopy category of finitely generated projective modules. The algebra is trigraded and we…

We show that if $X$ is a smooth quasi-projective $3$-fold admitting a flopping contraction, then the fundamental group of an associated simplicial hyperplane arrangement acts faithfully on the derived category of $X$. The main technical…

We construct categorical braid group actions from 2-representations of a Heisenberg algebra. These actions are induced by certain complexes which generalize spherical (Seidel-Thomas) twists and are reminiscent of the Rickard complexes…

We introduce the idea of a geometric categorical Lie algebra action on derived categories of coherent sheaves. The main result is that such an action induces an action of the braid group associated to the Lie algebra. The same proof shows…

We construct an action of a braid group associated to a complete graph on the derived category of a certain symmetric Nakayama algebra which is also a Brauer star algebra with no exceptional vertex. We connect this action with the affine…

We prove that any fusion category over $\mathbb{C}$ with exactly one non-invertible simple object is spherical. Furthermore, we classify all such categories that come equipped with a braiding.

We construct an action of the braid group on the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on hypertoric varieties arising from hyperplane arrangements. Using wall-crossing equivalences associated to paths in the complexified complement…

Let $\sigma_i$ be the braid actions on infinite Grassmannian cluster algebras induced from Fraser's braid group actions. Let $\mathsf{T}_i$ be the braid group actions on (quantum) Grothendieck rings of Hernandez-Leclerc category ${\mathscr…

We identify natural symmetries of each rigid higher braided category. Specifically, we construct a functorial action by the continuous group $\Omega \mathsf{O}(n)$ on each $\mathcal{E}_{n-1}$-monoidal $(g,d)$-category $\mathcal{R}$ in which…

Bicomplexes of vector spaces frequently appear throughout algebra and geometry. In Section 2 we explain how to think about the arrows in the spectral sequence of a bicomplex via its indecomposable summands. Polycomplexes seem to be much…

We argue that various braid group actions on triangulated categories should be extended to projective actions of the category of braid cobordisms and illustrate how this works in examples. We also construct actions of both the affine braid…

We show that the action of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a surface $\Sigma$ on the skein module of the handlebody bounded by $\Sigma$ is faithful if and only if the quantum parameter is not a root of 1.

We prove that the isomorphism type of a large class of groups (containing finite groups, countable Artinian groups and mapping class groups of certain surfaces, among others) is determined by the set of differential graded $\mathbb…

Let $\mathfrak{g}_0$ be a simple Lie algebra of type ADE and let $U'_q(\mathfrak{g})$ be the corresponding untwisted quantum affine algebra. We show that there exists an action of the braid group $B(\mathfrak{g}_0)$ on the quantum…

We show that there exists a canonical functor from the category of strict \infty-groupoids to the category of Grothendieck \infty-groupoids and that this functor is fully faithful. As a main ingredient, we prove that free strict…
