The closure of a braid in a closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ is a link in $\Sigma\times S^1$. We classify such closed surface braids up to isotopy and homeomorphism (with a small indeterminacy for isotopy of closed sphere braids),…

We prove a skew generalization of the Newton-Puiseux theorem for the field $F = \bigcup_{n=1}^\infty \mathbb{C}((x^\frac{1}{n}))$ of Puiseux series: For any positive real number $\alpha$, we consider the $\mathbb{C}$-automorphism $\sigma$…

Consider any nonzero univariate polynomial with rational coefficients, presented as an elementary algebraic expression (using only integer exponents). Letting sigma(f) denotes the additive complexity of f, we show that the number of…

We define a new algebraic structure called a \emph{pointed rack} and use it to construct ambient isotopy invariants of $ n $-braids. We first introduce an integer-valued invariant of braids using pointed racks. This is then strengthened by…

We define a skew-closed structure for Gray-categories extending the mapping space construction of the author.

In the presence of an $\Omega$-deformation, local operators generate a chiral algebra in the topological-holomorphic twist of a four-dimensional $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetric field theory. We show that for a unitary $\mathcal{N} = 2$…

Motivated by logarithmic conformal field theory and Gromov-Witten theory, we introduce a notion of a twisted module of a vertex algebra under an arbitrary (not necessarily semisimple) automorphism. Its main feature is that the twisted…

Every (left) linear function on a subspace of a finite-dimensional vector space over a (skew) field can be extended to a (left) linear function on the whole space. This paper explores the extent to what this basic fact of linear algebra is…

Skew polynomial rings were used to construct finite semifields by Petit in 1966, following from a construction of Ore and Jacobson of associative division algebras. In 1989 Jha and Johnson constructed the so-called cyclic semifields,…

We propose a suitable substitute for the classical Grothendieck ring of an algebraically closed field, in which any quasi-projective scheme is represented, while maintaining its non-reduced structure. This yields a more subtle invariant,…

A field algebra is a ``non-commutative'' generalization of a vertex algebra. In this paper we develop foundations of the theory of field algebras.

We will prove that the Pierce-Birkhoff Conjecture holds for non-singular two-dimensional affine real algebraic varieties over real closed fields, i.e., if W is such a variety, then every piecewise polynomial function on W can be written as…

We study algebraic dynamical systems (and, more generally, $\sigma$-varieties) $\Phi:{\mathbb A}^n_{\mathbb C} \to {\mathbb A}^n_{\mathbb C}$ given by coordinatewise univariate polynomials by refining a theorem of Ritt. More precisely, we…

Given a power series in finitely many variables that is algebraic over the corresponding polynomial ring over a subfield of the reals, we show that its convergence domain is semialgebraic over the real closure of the subfield. This gives in…

The present work aims to exploit the interplay between the algebraic properties of rings and the graph-theoretic structures of their associated graphs. We introduce commutatively closed graphs and investigate properties of commutatively…

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We study a generalization of the notion of G-complete reducibility in the context of Steinberg endomorphisms of G. Our…

Classification and invariants, with respect to basis changes, of finite dimensional algebras are considered. An invariant open, dense (in the Zariscki topology) subset of the space of structural constants is defined. The algebras with…

In this first work dedicated to the generalisation of classic algebraic geometry to non algebraically closed fields and axiomatisable classes of fields, we develop the foundations for equiresidual algebraic geometry (EQAG), i.e. algebraic…

We use spectral theory and algebraic geometry to establish a higher-degree analogue of a Szemer\'edi--Trotter-type theorem over finite fields, with an application to polynomial expansion.

We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…
