We prove, for certain pairs G,G of finite groups of Lie type, that the p-fusion systems for G and G' are equivalent. In other words, there is an isomorphism between a Sylow p-subgroup of G and one of G' which preserves p-fusion. This…

We establish ring isomorphisms between quantum Grothendieck rings of certain remarkable monoidal categories of finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras of types $A_{2n-1}^{(1)}$ and $B_n^{(1)}$. Our proof relies in part…

We determine the Grothendieck ring of finite-dimensional comodules for the free Hopf algebra on a matrix coalgebra, and similarly for the free Hopf algebra with bijective antipode and other related universal quantum groups. The results turn…

We introduce an approach to the categorification of rings, via the notion of distributive categories with negative objects, and use it to lay down categorical foundations for the study of super, quantum and non-commutative combinatorics.…

We show that any group with arbitrarily large finite quotients admits generating sets with respect to which it has arbitrarily large finite dead-end depth. This extends a joint result with Riley and partially answers a question asked there.

In this paper we give a complete classification of unitary fusion categories $\otimes$-generated by an object of dimension $\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$. We show that all such categories arise as certain wreath products of either the Fibonacci…

We show that for a gradable finite dimensional algebra the perfect complexes and bounded derived category cannot be distinguished by homotopy invariants.

We show that there exist infinitely many closed 3-manifolds that do not embed in closed symplectic 4-manifolds, disproving a conjecture of Etnyre-Min-Mukherjee. To do this, we construct L-spaces that cannot bound positive or negative…

We give two proofs of a level-rank duality for braided fusion categories obtained from quantum groups of type $C$ at roots of unity. The first proof uses conformal embeddings, while the second uses a classification of braided fusion…

Motivated by examples in infinite group theory, we classify the finite groups whose subgroups can never be decomposed as direct products.

In this note, we prove that there exist infinite dimensional excellent rings.

We introduce the notion of integrality of Grothendieck categories as a simultaneous generalization of the primeness of noncommutative noetherian rings and the integrality of locally noetherian schemes. Two different spaces associated to a…

We show that there exist closed manifolds with arbitrarily small transcendental simplicial volumes. Moreover, we exhibit an explicit uncountable family of (transcendental) real numbers that are not realised as the simplicial volume of a…

Fusion is defined for arbitrary lowest weight representations of $W$-algebras, without assuming rationality. Explicit algorithms are given. A category of quasirational representations is defined and shown to be stable under fusion.…

We consider several types of non-existence theorems for functors. For example, there are no nontrivial functors from the category of groups (or the category of pointed sets, or vector spaces) to any small category. Another type of questions…

We show that the Grothendieck ring of finite-dimensional representations of the periplectic Lie supergroup $P(n)$ is isomorphic to the ring of symmetric polynomials in $x_1^{\pm 1}, \ldots, x_n^{\pm 1}$ whose evaluation $x_1=x_2^{-1}=t$ is…

We classify the subvarieties of infinite dimensional affine space that are stable under the infinite symmetric group. We determine the defining equations and point sets of these varieties as well as the containments between them.

We define a quantum analogue of the Grothendieck ring of finite dimensional modules of a quantum affine algebra of simply laced type. The construction is based on perverse sheaves on a variety related to quivers. We get also a new geometric…

We show that the quotients of Wang and Van Daele's universal quantum groups by their centers are simple in the sense that they have no normal quantum subgroups, thus providing the first examples of simple compact quantum groups with…

We prove for residually finite groups the following long standing conjecture: the number of twisted conjugacy classes of an automorphism of a finitely generated group is equal (if it is finite) to the number of finite dimensional…
