We construct the first non-trivial examples of compact non-isometric Alexandrov spaces which are isospectral with respect to the Laplacian and not isometric to Riemannian orbifolds. This construction generalizes independent earlier results…

We report on recent results of the authors concerning calculations of quantum invariants of Seifert 3-manifolds. These results include a derivation of the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of all oriented Seifert manifolds associated with an…

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional manifold, $V$ the space of a representation $\rho: GL(n)\longrightarrow GL(V)$. Locally, let $T(V)$ be the space of sections of the tensor bundle with fiber $V$ over a sufficiently small open set $U\subset M$,…

A homological invariant of 3-manifolds is defined, using abelian Yang-Mills gauge theory. It is shown that the construction, in an appropriate sense, is functorial with respect to the families of 4-dimensional cobordisms. This construction…

We revisit the derivation of Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations in the case of nonsemisimple categories of modules of a superalgebra in the case of the generic affne level and representations parameters. A proof of existence of asymptotic…

We study complexities of 3-manifolds defined from triangulations, Heegaard splittings, and surgery presentations. We show that these complexities are related by linear inequalities, by presenting explicit geometric constructions. We also…

For each 3-dimensional non-Lie Leibniz algebra over the complex numbers, we describe the algebra of polynomial invariants and determine its group of automorphisms. As a consequence, we establish that any two non-nilpotent 3-dimensional…

We develop a Laplace transform method for constructing universal invariants of 3-manifolds. As an application, we recover Habiro's theory of integer homology 3-spheres and extend it to some classes of rational homology 3-spheres with cyclic…

We propose an abelian categorification of $\hat{Z}$-invariants for Seifert $3$-manifolds. First, we give a recursive combinatorial derivation of these $\hat{Z}$-invariants using graphs with certain hypercubic structures. Next, we consider…

Given a three-manifold with b_1=1 and a nontorsion spin^c structure, we use finite dimensional approximation to construct from the Seiberg-Witten equations two invariants in the form of a periodic pro-spectra. Various functors applied to…

It was shown by Goussarov that Vassiliev invariants are polynomials in the gleams for a fixed Turaev shadow. In this paper we show that Vassiliev invariants are almost characterized by this fact. We also prove that the space of knot…

For $\mathfrak{g}$ a simple Lie algebra and $G$ its adjoint group, the Chevalley map and work of Coxeter gives a concrete description of the algebra of $G$-invariant polynomials on $\mathfrak{g}$ in terms of traces over various…

In the paper we treat Gale diagrams in a combinatorial way. The interpretation allows to describe simplicial complexes which are Alexander dual to boundaries of simplicial polytopes and, more generally, to nerve-complexes of general…

Multi-view Geometry is reviewed from an Algebraic Geometry perspective and multi-focal tensors are constructed as equivariant projections of the Grassmannian. A connection to the principal minor assignment problem is made by considering…

In this paper we are interested in computing representations of the fundamental group of a 3-manifold into PSL(3;C) (in particular in PSL(2;C); PSL(3;R) and PU(2; 1)). The representations are obtained by gluing decorated tetrahedra of…

We introduce new polynomial invariants of a finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra A over a field by using the braiding structures of A. We investigate basic properties of the polynomial invariants including stability…

We construct a non-normal affine monoid together with its modules associated with a negative definite plumbed $3$-manifold $M$. In terms of their structure, we describe the $H_1(M,\mathbb{Z})$-equivariant parts of the topological Poincar\'e…

Let $G$ be a commutative affine algebraic group over a field $F$, and let $H \colon \mathrm{Fields}_{F} \to \mathrm{AbGrps}$ be a functor. A (homomorphic) $H$-invariant of $G$ is a natural transformation $\mathrm{Tors}(-, G) \to H$, where…

We construct several new classes of isospectral manifolds with different local geometries. After reviewing a theorem by Carolyn Gordon on isospectral torus bundles and presenting certain useful specialized versions (Chapter 1) we apply…

Starting from considering deeper relationship between conjugacy classes and irreducible representations of a finite group $G$, we find some quite simple $R-$matrice defined by using finite groups. This construction produces many sets (or…
