This paper develops an approach for describing centrally extended groups, as determining the adjoint groups associated with quandles. Furthermore, we explicitly describe such groups of some quandles. As a corollary, we determine some second…
We study the action of Bender-Knuth involutions on linear extensions of posets and identify LE-cactus posets, i.e. those for which the cactus relations hold. It was conjectured in \cite{chiang2023bender} that d-complete posets are…
In this paper we proof that any cactus graph satisfies graph complement conjecture by finding a orthogonal representation of its complement in $\mathbb{R}^5$.
Knots are familiar entities that appear at a captivating nexus of art, technology, mathematics, and science. As topologically stable objects within field theories, they have been speculatively proposed as explanations for diverse persistent…
A Delta-groupoid is an algebraic structure which axiomitizes the combinatorics of a truncated tetrahedron. It is shown that there are relations of Delta-groupoids to rings, group pairs, and (ideal) triangulations of three-manifolds. In…
This is an introductory article on high dimensional knots for the beginners. High dimensional knot theory is an exciting field. It is a field of knot theory, which is one of topology and is connected with many ones. In this article we use…
Quandle cocycles are constructed from extensions of quandles. The theory is parallel to that of group cohomology and group extensions. An interpretation of quandle cocycle invariants as obstructions to extending knot colorings is given, and…
In this article, we provide a summary of the results presented in the previous two papers of the authors and in the second author's Master thesis, which concern pure cactus groups and configuration spaces of points on the circle.
We study a class of combinatorial objects that we call "decorated trees". These consist of vertices, arrows and edges, where each edge is decorated by two integers (one near each of its endpoints), each arrow is decorated by an integer, and…
The topological model for quantum computation is an inherently fault-tolerant model built on anyons in topological phases of matter. A key role is played by the braid group, and in this survey we focus on a selection of ways that the…
In this paper, we give a precise and workable definition of a quantum knot system, the states of which are called quantum knots. This definition can be viewed as a blueprint for the construction of an actual physical quantum system.…
We construct a map from knots to (abstract) 2-knots which can be extended to higher dimensions; this map is the natural "knot" counterpart for "braid" theory of groups $G_{n}^{k}$.
Using a notation of corner between edges when graph has a fixed rotation, i.e. cyclical order of edges around vertices, we define combinatorial objects - combinatorial maps as pairs of permutations, one for vertices and one for faces.…
A dilatation structure on a metric space, arXiv:math/0608536v4, is a notion in between a group and a differential structure, accounting for the approximate self-similarity of the metric space. The basic objects of a dilatation structure are…
Hughes defined a class of groups that act as local similarities on compact ultrametric spaces. Guba and Sapir had previously defined braided diagram groups over semigroup presentations. The two classes of groups share some common…
A knot mosaic is a representation of a knot or link on a square grid using a collection of tiles that are either blank or contain a portion of the knot diagram. Traditionally, a piece of the knot on one tile connects to a piece of the knot…
The notion of a braid is generalized into two and three dimensions. Two-dimensional braids are described by braid monodromies or graphics called charts. In this paper we introduce the notion of curtains, and show that three-dimensional…
Quantum groupoids are a joint generalization of groupoids and quantum groups. We propose a definition of a compact quantum groupoid that is based on the theory of C*-algebras and Hilbert bimodules. The essential point is that whenever one…
Celtic knots are an ancient art form often attributed to Celtic cultures, used to decorate monuments and manuscripts, and to symbolise eternity and interconnectedness. This paper describes the framework CelticGraph to draw graphs as Celtic…
Curve stitching is a classic educational activity where one constructs elegant curves from a family of straight lines. We perform curve stitching around a circle to make a modular stitch graph. Take $m$ points equally spaced around a…
