We construct an explicit bundle with flat connection on the configuration space of n points of a complex curve. This enables one to recover the `formality' isomorphism between the Lie algebra of the prounipotent completion of the pure braid…

Braid groups are an important and flexible tool used in several areas of science, such as Knot Theory (Alexander's theorem), Mathematical Physics (Yang-Baxter's equation) and Algebraic Geometry (monodromy invariants). In this note we will…

The present article is a continuation of QA/1303.4046, where we discussed the classification of quantum groups with quasi-classical limit $\mathfrak{g}$ and introduced a theory of Belavin-Drinfeld cohomology associated to any…

Using equivariant obstruction theory we construct equivariant maps from certain classifying spaces to representation spheres for cyclic groups, product of elementary Abelian groups and dihedral groups. Restricting them to finite skeleta…

Herein we prove that if $M$ is a compact oriented Riemann surface of genus $g$, and $M^{[n]}$ is the classifying space of $n$ distinct, unordered points on $M$, then the kernel of the map $\pi_1(M^{[n]})\to H_1(M)$ is generated by…

Braided groups and braided matrices are novel algebraic structures living in braided or quasitensor categories. As such they are a generalization of super-groups and super-matrices to the case of braid statistics. Here we construct braided…

In this paper, we present explicit actions of braid group on the universal enveloping superalgebra ${\boldsymbol U}(\mathfrak{{q}}_n)$ and the quantum queer superalgebra ${\boldsymbol U}_{\!{v}}(\mathfrak{{q}}_{n})$. Then we provide a new…

An explicit construction of the braided dual of quantum $E(2)$ groups is described over the circle group $\mathbb{T}$ with respect to a specific $R$-matrix $R$. Additionally, the corresponding bosonization is also described.

We introduce and study symmetric and exterior algebras in braided monoidal categories such as the category O for quantum groups. We relate our braided symmetric algebras and braided exterior algebas with their classical counterparts.

With the intent of laying the groundwork for a program that aims at explicitly describing the space of Cartan (i.e. multiplicative) connections on a general proper Lie groupoid, we begin to investigate the space of such connections in the…

Functions which are covariant or invariant under the transformations of a compact linear group $G$ acting in a euclidean space $\real^n$, can be profitably studied as functions defined in the orbit space of the group. The orbit space is the…

We prove that the pure braid groups on closed, orientable surfaces are bi-orderable, and that the pure braid groups on closed, non-orientable surfaces have generalized torsion, thus they are not bi-orderable.

We prove a coherence theorem for braided monoidal bicategories and relate it to the coherence theorem for monoidal bicategories. We show how coherence for these structures can be interpretted topologically using up-to-homotopy operad…

We consider the space of all configurations of finitely many (potentially nested) circles in the plane. We prove that this space is aspherical, and compute the fundamental group of each of its connected components. It turns out these…

For an oriented surface link $F$ in $\mathbb{R}^4$, we consider a satellite construction of a surface link, called a 2-dimensional braid over $F$, which is in the form of a covering over $F$. We introduce the notion of an $m$-chart on a…

Some aspects of phase transitions can be more conveniently studied in the orbit space of the action of the symmetry group. After a brief review of the fundamental ideas of this approach, I shall concentrate on the mathematical aspect and…

V.V. Sharko in his papers and books has investigated functions on manifolds and cobordism. Braids intimately connect with functions on manifolds. These connections are represented by mapping class groups of corresponding discs, by…

We complete the classification of regular generically free actions of finite groups on del Pezzo surfaces, up to birational equivalence. As a byproduct, we settle several open problems in equivariant birational geometry, e.g., we classify…

We consider two group actions on $m$-tuples of $n \times n$ matrices. The first is simultaneous conjugation by $\operatorname{GL}_n$ and the second is the left-right action of $\operatorname{SL}_n \times \operatorname{SL}_n$. We give…

Recently it has been noticed that many interesting combinatorial objects belong to a class of semigroups called left regular bands, and that random walks on these semigroups encode several well-known random walks. For example, the set of…
