We classify homomorphisms from the braid group on $n$ strands to the pure mapping class group of a nonoriantable surface of genus $g$. For $n\ge 14$ and $g\le 2\lfloor{n/2}\rfloor+1$ every such homomorphism is either cyclic, or it maps…
Chiral conformal blocks in a rational conformal field theory are a far going extension of Gauss hypergeometric functions. The associated monodromy representations of Artin's braid group capture the essence of the modern view on the subject,…
In this paper, we generalize the principle of the Long-Moody construction for representations of braid groups to other groups, such as mapping class groups of surfaces. Namely, we introduce endofunctors over a functor category that encodes…
A long-term research proposal on the algebraic structure, the representations and the possible applications of paraparticle algebras is structured in three modules: The first part stems from an attempt to classify the inequivalent gradings…
An elementary approach to the construction of Coxeter group representations is presented.
In previous two papers, we defined fractional Brauer configuration algebras and developed their covering theory. In this paper, we study the representation theory of fractional Brauer graph algebras of type MS, a special class of fractional…
Modified braid equations satisfied by generalized ${\hat R}$ matrices (for a {\em given} set of group relations obeyed by the elements of ${\sf T}$ matrices ) are constructed for q-deformed quantum groups $GL_q (N), SO_q (N)$ and $Sp_q (N)$…
The congruence subgroups of braid groups arise from a congruence condition on the integral Burau representation $B_n \to \operatorname{GL}_{n}(\mathbb Z)$. We find the image of such congruence subgroups in $\operatorname{GL}_{n}(\mathbb…
Empirical properties of generating systems for complex reflection groups and their braid groups have been observed by Orlik-Solomon and Brou\'e-Malle-Rouquier, using Shephard-Todd classification. We give a general existence result for…
The mixed braid groups are the subgroups of Artin braid groups whose elements preserve a given partition of the base points. We prove that the centralizer of any braid can be expressed in terms of semidirect and direct products of mixed…
Recent developments in the theory of stability conditions and its relation to Teichmuller theory have revealed a deep connection between triangulated categories and surfaces. Motivated by this, we prove a categorical analogue of the…
We describe the fundamental group and second homotopy group of ordered $k-$point sets in $Gr(k,n)$ generating a subspace of fixed dimension.
In this paper we will present the results of Artin--Markov on braid groups by using the Groebner--Shirshov basis. As a consequence we can reobtain the normal form of Artin--Markov--Ivanovsky as an easy corollary.
We investigate one of the simplest multispecies generalization of the asymmetric simple exclusion process on a ring. This process has a rich combinatorial spectral structure and a matrix product form for the stationary state. In the totally…
We adapt the diagrammatic presentation of the Hecke category to the dg category formed by the standard representatives for the Rouquier complexes. We use this description to recover basic results about these complexes, namely the…
This paper gives a process for finding discrete real specializations of sesquilinear representations of the braid groups using Salem numbers. This method is applied to the Jones and BMW representations, and some details on the…
Virtual knots arise in the study of Gauss diagrams and Vassiliev invariants of usual knots. Virtual braids correspond naturally to virtual knots. We consider the group of virtual braids on n strings VB_n and its Burau representation, in…
The aim of the present note is to construct invariants of the Artin braid group valued in $G_{N}^{2}$, and further study of groups related to $G_{n}^{3}$. In the groups $G_{n}^{2}$, the word problem is solved; these groups are much simpler…
We consider general linear superalgebra (type A) and tensor with Laurent polynomial ring in several variables. We then consider the universal central extension of this Lie superalgebra which we call toroidal superalgebra. We give a faithful…
We present a framework for the construction of linearizations for scalar and matrix polynomials based on dual bases which, in the case of orthogonal polynomials, can be described by the associated recurrence relations. The framework…
