For a partially multiplicative quandle (PMQ) $\mathcal{Q}$ we consider the topological monoid $\mathring{\mathrm{HM}}(\mathcal{Q})$ of Hurwitz spaces of configurations in the plane with local monodromies in $\mathcal{Q}$. We compute the…
Given a couple of subspaces $\mathcal{Y}\subset\mathcal{X}$ of the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$ satisfying some mild conditions (a ``nice couple''), and given a PMQ-pair $(\mathcal{Q},G)$, consisting of a partially multiplicative quandle…
We introduce a natural structure of a semigroup (isomorphic to a factorization semigroup of the unity in the symmetric group) on the set of irreducible components of Hurwitz space of marked degree $d$ coverings of $\mathbb P^1$ of fixed…
This article establishes the algebraic covering theory of quandles. For every connected quandle we explicitly construct a universal covering, which in turn leads us to define the algebraic fundamental group as the automorphism group of the…
Parametric families in the centre ${\bf Z}({\bf C}[S_n])$ of the group algebra of the symmetric group are obtained by identifying the indeterminates in the generating function for Macdonald polynomials as commuting Jucys-Murphy elements.…
When there is a family of complex structures on the phase space, parametrized by a set $S$, the prequantum Hilbert spaces produced by geometric quantization, using the half-form correction, also depends on these parameters. This way we…
The q-monopole bundle introduced previously is extended to a general construction for quantum group bundles with non-universal differential calculi. We show that the theory applies to several other classes of bundles as well, including…
We introduce three notions of partial bihamiltonian structures ($\operatorname{PQ}$, $\operatorname{PN}$ et $\operatorname{P\Omega}$) in the convenient setting defined by Fr\"{o}licher, Kriegl and Michor. We study geometrical objects linked…
We introduce a new cubical model for homotopy types. More precisely, we'll define a category Qs with the following features: Qs is a PROP containing the classical box category as a subcategory, the category Qs-Set of presheaves of sets on…
We introduce the periplectic $q$-Brauer category over an integral domain of characteristic not $2$. This is a strict monoidal supercategory and can be considered as a $q$-analogue of the periplectic Brauer category. We prove that the…
We prove a homological characterization of $Q$-manifolds bundles over $C$-spaces. This provides a partial answer to Question QM22 from \cite{w}.
The geometric quantization of a symplectic manifold endowed with a prequantum bundle and a metaplectic structure is defined by means of an integrable complex structure. We prove that its semi-classical limit does not depend on the choice of…
Given a smooth, projective curve $Y$, a point $y_0 \in Y$, a positive integer $n$, and a transitive subgroup $G$ of the symmetric group $S_{d}$ we study smooth, proper families, parameterized by algebraic varieties, of pointed degree $d$…
We define symmetric spaces in arbitrary dimension and over arbitrary non-discrete topological fields $\K$, and we construct manifolds and symmetric spaces associated to topological continuous quasi-inverse Jordan pairs and -triple systems.…
For a finite group $G$ and a conjugation-invariant subset $Q\subseteq G$, we consider the Hurwitz space $\mathrm{Hur}_n(Q)$ parametrising branched covers of the plane with $n$ branch points, monodromies in $G$ and local monodromies in $Q$.…
We introduce and study a semigroup structure on the set of irreducible components of the Hurwitz space of marked coverings of a complex projective curve with given Galois group of the coverings and fixed ramification type. As application,…
We prove a homological stabilization theorem for Hurwitz spaces: moduli spaces of branched covers of the complex projective line. This has the following arithmetic consequence: let l>2 be prime and A a finite abelian l-group. Then there…
We study and compute an infinite family of Hurwitz spaces parameterizing covers of P_C branched at four points and deduce explicit regular S_n and A_n-extensions over Q(T) with totally real fibers.
We define new compact matrix quantum groups whose intertwiner spaces are dual to tensor categories of three-dimensional set partitions -- which we call spatial partitions. This extends substantially Banica and Speicher's approach of the so…
The ramification of a polyhedral space is defined as the metric completion of the universal cover of its regular locus. We consider mainly polyhedral spaces of two origins: quotients of Euclidean space by a discrete group of isometries and…
