We study simple branched coverings of degree d of the 2- and 3- dimensional sphere branched over oriented links. We demonstrate how to use braid charts to develop embeddings of these into $S^k \times D^2$ for $k=2,3 when $d=2,3$. This is an…
A family of new algebraic Poisson varieties will be constructed, generalising the complex character varieties of Riemann surfaces. Then the well-known (Poisson) mapping class group actions on the character varieties will be generalised.
Any algebraic connection on a vector bundle on a smooth complex algebraic curve determines an irregular class and in turn a fission tree at each puncture. The fission trees are the discrete data classifying the admissible deformation…
We give a complete topological classification of transitive partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms in 3-manifolds in terms of Anosov flows, completing a program proposed by Pujals. In particular, this also allows to give a full answer to the…
We consider threefolds that admit a fibration by K3 surfaces over a nonsingular curve, equipped with a divisorial sheaf that defines a polarisation of degree two on the general fibre. Under certain assumptions on the threefold we show that…
Since the end of the XIXth century, we know that each birational map of the complex projective plane is the product of a finite number of quadratic birational maps of the projective plane; this motivates our work which essentially deals…
The chiral conformal field theory of free super-bosons is generated by weight one currents whose mode algebra is the affinisation of an abelian Lie super-algebra h with non-degenerate super-symmetric pairing. The mode algebras of a single…
The Brownian triangulation is a random compact subset of the unit disk introduced by Aldous. For $\epsilon>0$, let $N(\epsilon)$ be the number of triangles whose sizes (measured in different ways) are greater than $\epsilon$ in the Brownian…
We identify the group of framed diffeomorphisms of the torus as a semi-direct product of the torus with the braid group on 3 strands; we also identify the topological monoid of framed local-diffeomorphisms of the torus in similar terms. It…
We construct the join of noncommutative Galois objects (quantum torsors) over a Hopf algebra H. To ensure that the join algebra enjoys the natural (diagonal) coaction of H, we braid the tensor product of the Galois objects. Then we show…
We define a measure of "complexity" of a braid which is natural with respect to both an algebraic and a geometric point of view. Algebraically, we modify the standard notion of the length of a braid by introducing generators $\Delta\_{ij}$,…
We consider the problem of estimating undirected triangle-free graphs of high dimensional distributions. Triangle-free graphs form a rich graph family which allows arbitrary loopy structures but 3-cliques. For inferential tractability, we…
In this work we propose an exact microscopic description of maximally symmetric branes in a Euclidean $AdS_3$ background. As shown by Bachas and Petropoulos, the most important such branes are localized along a Euclidean $AdS_2 \subset…
A decomposition of a graph is a set of subgraphs whose edges partition those of $G$. The 3-decomposition conjecture posed by Hoffmann-Ostenhof in 2011 states that every connected cubic graph can be decomposed into a spanning tree, a…
We describe the groups of automorphisms of two generated free braided associative algebras with involutive diagonal braidings over a field of characteristic $\neq 2$. Depending on the form of the diagonal involutive braiding, five different…
For any $n \geq 3$ we obtain the decomposition in simple factors of the Lie subalgebra of the group algebra of the symmetric group on $n$ letters generated by the transpositions. This enables us to determine the algebraic hull of the braid…
We demonstrate the semiclassical nature of symmetry twist defects that differ from quantum deconfined anyons in a true topological phase by examining non-abelian crystalline defects in an abelian lattice model. An underlying non-dynamical…
Tridendriform algebras are a type of associative algebras, introduced independently by F. Chapoton and by J.-L. Loday and the third author, in order to describe operads related to the Stasheff polytopes. The vector space $\st$ spanned by…
Given a link $L\subset S^3$, a representation $\pi_1(S^3-L)\to{\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ is {\it trace-free} if it sends each meridian to an element with trace zero. We present a method for completely determining trace-free ${\rm…
We define and investigate a new three-parameter family of graphs that further generalizes the Fibonacci and metallic cubes. Namely, the number of vertices in this family of graphs satisfies Horadam recurrence, a linear recurrence of second…
