We discuss the possibility of the existence of finite algorithms that may give distinct knot classes. In particular we present two attempts for such algorithms which seem promising, one based on knot projections on a plane, the other on…
Let $Q$ be the affine quiver of type $\widetilde{A}_{2n-1,1}$ and $\mathcal{A}_{q}(Q)$ be the quantum cluster algebra associated to the valued quiver $(Q,(2,2,\dots,2))$. We prove some cluster multiplication formulas, and deduce that the…
Given a knot presented as a braid closure, we construct a unified intersection model for the Alexander and Jones polynomials of the knot via what we call quantum Heegaard diagrams. These diagrams are obtained by stabilising the disc model…
Ozsvath and Szabo gave a combinatorial description of knot Floer homology based on a cube of resolutions, which uses maps with twisted coefficients. We study the t=1 specialization of their construction. The associated spectral sequence…
The Knot Entropy Conjecture states that the exponential growth rate of the number of $n$-edge lattice polygons with knot-type $K$ is the same as that for unknot polygons. Moreover, the next order growth follows a power law in $n$ with an…
In \cite{JKS} we gave an (additive) categorification of Grassmannian cluster algebras, using the category $\CM(A)$ of Cohen-Macaulay modules for a certain Gorenstein order $A$. In this paper, using a cluster tilting object in the same…
In association with a finite dimensional algebra A of global dimension two, we consider the endomorphism algebra of A, viewed as an object in the triangulated hull of the orbit category of the bounded derived category, in the sense of…
The cluster algebra of any acyclic quiver can be realized as the coordinate ring of a subvariety of a Kac-Moody group -- the quiver is an orientation of its Dynkin diagram, defining a Coxeter element and thereby a double Bruhat cell. We use…
It is well known that knots are countable in ordinary knot theory. Recently, knots {\it with intersections} have raised a certain interest, and have been found to have physical applications. We point out that such knots --equivalence…
In this paper, a regional knot invariant is constructed. Like the Wirtinger presentation of a knot group, each planar region contributes a generator, and each crossing contributes a relation. The invariant is call a tridle of the link. As…
Closed geodesics associated with indefinite binary quadratic forms, or equivalently with real quadratic irrationals, have long been studied as geometric $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$-invariants. Building on the Birman-Williams approach to…
We study the cluster algebras arising from cluster tubes with rank bigger than $1$. Cluster tubes are $2-$Calabi-Yau triangulated categories which contain no cluster tilting objects, but maximal rigid objects. Fix a certain maximal rigid…
The augmentation variety of a knot is the locus, in the 3-dimensional coefficient space of the knot contact homology dg-algebra, where the algebra admits a unital chain map to the complex numbers. We explain how to express the Alexander…
This paper focuses on the graphs in the Petersen family, the set of minor minimal intrinsically linked graphs. We prove there is a relationship between algebraic linking of an embedding and knotting in an embedding. We also present a more…
We give an introduction to the theory of cluster categories and cluster tilted algebras. We include some background on the theory of cluster algebras, and discuss the interplay with cluster categories and cluster tilted algebras.
To each tagged triangulation of a surface with marked points and non-empty boundary we associate a quiver with potential, in such a way that whenever we apply a flip to a tagged triangulation, the Jacobian algebra of the QP associated to…
We consider the bt-algebra ${ \mathcal E}_n(q)$ of knot theory, defined over an arbitrary field $ \Bbbk$. We find a KLR-like presentation for $ {\mathcal E}_n(q) $ showing that it is a $ \mathbb Z$-graded algebra if $ q \in \Bbbk^{\times}…
We introduce and study potentials, mutations and Jacobian algebras in the framework of tensor algebras associated with symmetrizable dualizing pairs of bimodules on a symmetric algebra over any commutative ground ring. The graded context is…
Let $\Gamma$ denote a finite, undirected, connected graph, with vertex set $X$. Fix a vertex $x \in X$. Associated with $x$ is a certain subalgebra $T=T(x)$ of ${\rm Mat}_X(\mathbb C)$, called the subconstituent algebra. The algebra $T$ is…
We connect two important conjectures in the theory of knot polynomials. The first one is the property Al_R(q) = Al_{[1]}(q^{|R|}) for all single hook Young diagrams R, which is known to hold for all knots. The second conjecture claims that…
