Monoids generated by elements of order two appear in numerous places in the literature. For example, Coxeter reflection groups in geometry, Kuratowski monoids in topology, various monoids generated by regular operations in language theory…

A lattice is called well-rounded if its minimal vectors span the corresponding Euclidean space. In this paper we study the similarity classes of well-rounded sublattices of ${\mathbb Z}^2$. We relate the set of all such similarity classes…

Recent research of the author has given an explicit geometric description of free (two-sided) adequate semigroups and monoids, as sets of labelled directed trees under a natural combinatorial multiplication. In this paper we show that there…

In this paper, we use lax monoidal TQFTs as an effective computational method for motivic classes of representation varieties. In particular, we perform the calculation for parabolic $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$-representation varieties over…

Our main observation is that the contravariant functor Spec on the category of commutative monoids is representable. We discuss a few consequences of this fact. In particular, we give an efficient way of calculating the Spec(M) of a…

With a complete Heyting algebra $L$ as the truth value table, we prove that the collections of open filters of stratified $L$-valued topological spaces form a monad. By means of $L$-Scott topology and the specialization $L$-order, we get…

We discuss several extension properties of matroids and polymatroids and their application as necessary conditions for the existence of different matroid representations, namely linear, folded linear, algebraic, and entropic…

Let Y be a hypersurface in a 2n-dimensional holomorphic symplectic manifold X. The restriction $\sigma|_Y$ of the holomorphic symplectic form induces a rank one foliation on Y. We investigate situations where this foliation has compact…

We construct, for each convex polytope, possibly nonrational and nonsimple, a family of compact spaces that are stratified by quasifolds, i.e. each of these spaces is a collection of quasifolds glued together in an suitable way. A quasifold…

We show how topological methods developed in a previous article can be applied to prove new results about topological and homological finiteness properties of monoids. A monoid presentation is called special if the right-hand side of each…

We give a new construction of a Hopf algebra defined first by Reading whose bases are indexed by objects belonging to the Baxter combinatorial family (i.e., Baxter permutations, pairs of twin binary trees, etc.). Our construction relies on…

Associated to an abelian variety over a number field are several interesting and related groups: the motivic Galois group, the Mumford-Tate group, $\ell$-adic monodromy groups, and the Sato-Tate group. Assuming the Mumford-Tate conjecture,…

We study tensor powers of representations of finite monoids, focusing on the growth behavior of their composition length and the number of indecomposable summands. Special attention is given to diagram monoids such as the Temperley-Lieb,…

The parastatistics algebra is a superalgebra with (even) parafermi and (odd) parabose creation and annihilation operators. The states in the parastatistics Fock-like space are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the Super…

We study homological multiplicities of spherical varieties of reductive group $G$ over a $p$-adic field $F$. Based on Bernstein's decomposition of the category of smooth representations of a $p$-adic group, we introduce a sheaf that…

Given a finite group $G$ acting on a surface $S$, the centralizer of G in the mapping class group $\textrm{Mod}(S)$ has a natural representation given by its action on the homology $H_1(S; \mathbb{Q})$. We consider the question of whether…

We study the tropicalization of the variety of symmetric rank two matrices. Analogously to the result of Markwig and Yu for general tropical rank two matrices, we show that it has a simplicial complex structure as the space of symmetric…

An algebra that generates a variety with uncountably many subvarieties is said to be of type $2^{\aleph_0}$. We show that the Rees quotient monoid $M(aabb)$ of order ten is of type $2^{\aleph_0}$, thereby affirmatively answering a recent…

We construct finite coherent presentations of plactic monoids of type A. Such coherent presentations express a system of generators and relations for the monoid extended in a coherent way to give a family of generators of the relations…

The set of homology cobordisms from a surface to itself with markings of their boundaries has a natural monoid structure. To investigate the structure of this monoid, we define and study its Magnus representation and Reidemeister torsion…
