Lyubashenko's construction associates representations of mapping class groups Map_{g,n} of Riemann surfaces of any genus g with any number n of holes to a factorizable ribbon category. We consider this construction as applied to the…

There exist right angled Artin groups $A$ such that the isomorphism problem for finitely presented subgroups of $A$ is unsolvable, and for certain finitely presented subgroups the conjugacy and membership problems are unsolvable. It follows…

We show that if a right-angled Artin group $A(\Gamma)$ has a non-trivial, minimal action on a tree $T$ which is not a line, then $\Gamma$ contains a separating subgraph $\Lambda$ such that $A(\Lambda)$ stabilizes an edge in $T$.

Let $\Gamma^+$ be the positive cone in a totally ordered abelian group $\Gamma$, and let $\alpha$ be an action of $\Gamma^+$ by endomorphisms of a $C^*$-algebra $A$. We consider a new kind of crossed-product $C^*$-algebra…

For a right-angled Artin group $A_\Gamma$, the untwisted outer automorphism group $U(A_\Gamma)$ is the subgroup of $Out(A_\Gamma)$ generated by all of the Laurence-Servatius generators except twists (where a {\em twist} is an automorphisms…

Haas' theorem describes all partchworkings of a given non-singular plane tropical curve $C$ giving rise to a maximal real algebraic curve. The space of such patchworkings is naturally a linear subspace $W_C$ of the…

The Lights Out Puzzle, played on a graph $\Gamma$, has been studied using linear algebra over $\mathbb{F}_2$ and more generally over $\mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z}$. We generalize the setting by allowing the states of vertices to be the elements…

By introducing branching conditions on the defining graph, we prove a range of rigidity results for quasiisometric embeddings between right-angled Artin groups. The starting point for these is that, under mild conditions on the codomain,…

Representations of a group $G$ in vector spaces over a field $K$ form a category. One can reconstruct the given group $G$ from its representations to vector spaces as the full group of monoidal automorphisms of the underlying functor. This…

We construct the first known examples of infinite subgroups of the outer automorphism group of Out(A_Gamma), for certain right-angled Artin groups A_Gamma. This is achieved by introducing a new class of graphs, called focused graphs, whose…

$\Gamma$-conformal algebra is an axiomatic description of the operator product expansion of chiral fields with simple poles at finitely many points. We classify these algebras and their representations in terms of Lie algebras and their…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete finitely presented group. Pick any system $S$ of generators in $\Gamma$. In Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(\Gamma)=\mathrm{Cay}(\Gamma, S)$ with edge set $E$, glue with oriented polygons all the group relations…

The mapping class group of a closed surface of genus $g$ is an extension of the Torelli group by the symplectic group. This leads to two natural problems: (a) compute (stably) the symplectic decomposition of the lower central series of the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite simplicial graph with at least two vertices, and let $G(\Gamma)$ be the associated right-angled Artin group. We describe a locally compact group $\mathcal U$ containing $G(\Gamma)$ as a cocompact lattice. If…

We prove that if $\Gamma$ is a group of polynomial growth then each delocalized cyclic cocycle on the group algebra has a representative of polynomial growth. For each delocalized cocyle we thus define a higher analogue of Lott's…

We derive explicit rational generating functions for weighted tilings of $2k\times n$ rectangles by straight $k\times 1$ tiles. Our approach combines a decomposition by fault lines with a Hadamard-product framework. Tools from algebraic…

In this paper we introduce a new family of icc groups $\Gamma$ which satisfy the following product rigidity phenomenon, discovered in [DHI16] (see also [dSP17]): all tensor product decompositions of the II$_1$ factor $L(\Gamma)$ arise only…

We construct "higher" motion planners for automated systems whose space of states are homotopy equivalent to a polyhedral product space $Z(K,\{(S^{k_i},\star)\})$, e.g. robot arms with restrictions on the possible combinations of…

We propose a new set of IIB type and eleven-dimensional supergravity solutions which consists of the $n$-fold product of two-spaces ${\bf H}^n/\Gamma$ (where ${\bf H}^n$ denotes the product of $n$ upper half-planes $H^2$ equipped with the…

Let $L=diag(1,1,\ldots,1,-1)$ and $M=diag(1,1,\ldots,1,-2)$ be the lattices of signature $(n,1)$. We consider the groups $\Gamma=SU(L,\mathcal{O}_K)$ and $\Gamma'=SU(M,\mathcal{O}_K)$ for an imaginary quadratic field…
