The present paper develops a general theory of quantum group analogs of symmetric pairs for involutive automorphism of the second kind of symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras. The resulting quantum symmetric pairs are right coideal subalgebras…
The Links-Quivers Correspondence predicts that the generating function for the symmetric (or antisymmetric) colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials for links can be put in a "quiver form," so that the generating function is expressed in terms of a…
We investigate the classification of topological quandles on some simple manifolds. Precisely we classify all Alexander quandle structures, up to isomorphism, on the real line and the unit circle. For the closed unit interval $[0, 1]$, we…
Indexed symmetric monoidal categories are an important refinement of bicategories -- this structure underlies several familiar bicategories, including the homotopy bicategory of parametrized spectra, and its equivariant and fiberwise…
We are interested in abstract conditions that characterize homomorphic images of affine quandles. Our main result is a two-fold characterization of this class: one by a property of the displacement group, the other one by a property of the…
We explain how the medial quandle of a classical or virtual link can be built from the peripheral structure of the reduced Alexander module.
We enhance the quandle counting invariants of oriented classical and virtual knots and links using a construction similar to quandle modules but inspired by symplectic quandle operations rather than Alexander quandle operations. Given a…
We construct a family of rings. To a plane diagram of a tangle we associate a complex of bimodules over these rings. Chain homotopy equivalence class of this complex is an invariant of the tangle. On the level of Grothendieck groups this…
We introduce and investigate dichromatic singular links. We also construct G-Family of singquandles and use them to define counting invariants for unoriented dichromatic singular links. We provide some examples to show that these invariants…
We study the curved Koszul duality theory for associative algebras presented by quadratic-linear-constant (QLC) relations. As an application, we investigate the cyclic (co)homology of a QLC algebra and its Koszul dual curved DG algebra, and…
Geometric Langlands duality can be understood from statements of mirror symmetry that can be formulated in purely topological terms for an oriented two-manifold $C$. But understanding these statements is extremely difficult without picking…
We introduce (co)homology theory for multiple group racks and construct cocycle invariants of compact oriented surfaces in the 3-sphere using their 2-cocycles, where a multiple group rack is a rack consisting of a disjoint union of groups.…
Three new knot invariants are defined using cocycles of the generalized quandle homology theory that was proposed by Andruskiewitsch and Gra\~na. We specialize that theory to the case when there is a group action on the coefficients. First,…
In an earlier paper we conjectured a relation between the quantum $\mathcal D$-modules of a smooth variety $X$ and the projectivisation of a direct sum of line bundles over it. In this paper we prove the conjecture when $X$ is a complete…
Twisted $K$-homology corresponds to $D$-branes in string theory. In this paper we compare two different models of geometric twisted $K$-homology and get their equivalence. Moreover, we give another description of geometric twisted…
We establish a canonical correspondence between connected quandles and certain configurations in transitive groups, called quandle envelopes. This correspondence allows us to efficiently enumerate connected quandles of small orders, and…
Using derived categories of equivariant coherent sheaves, we construct a categorification of the tangle calculus associated to sl(2) and its standard representation. Our construction is related to that of Seidel-Smith by homological mirror…
A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…
We show a de Rham theory for cubical manifolds, and study rational homotopy type of the classifying spaces of smooth quandles. We also show that secondary characteristic classes in \cite{Dup2,DK} produce cocycles of quandles.
We introduce the $\alpha,\beta$-symmetric difference derivative and the $\alpha,\beta$-symmetric N\"orlund sum. The associated symmetric quantum calculus is developed, which can be seen as a generalization of the forward and backward…
