We introduce a new homology theory of quandles, called simplicial quandle homology, which is quite different from quandle homology developed by Carter et al. We construct a homomorphism from a quandle homology group to a simplicial quandle…

The causal spacetimes admitting a covariantly constant null vector provide a connection between relativistic and non-relativistic physics. We explore this relationship in several directions. We start proving a formula which relates the…

We show that if a link L with non-zero Alexander polynomial admits a locally flat cobordism to a `weakly m-split link', then the cobordism must have genus at least (m-1)/2. This generalises a recent result of J. Pardon.

We describe a relation between Arnold's strange duality and a polar duality between the Newton polytopes which is mostly due to M.~Kobayashi. We show that this relation continues to hold for the extension of Arnold's strange duality found…

In this paper, we explore the bounded cohomology of quandles and its applications to knot theory. We establish two key results that provide sufficient conditions for the infinite dimensionality of the second bounded cohomology of quandles.…

A novel approach is developed for discovering directed connectivity between specified pairs of nodes in a high-dimensional network (HDN) of brain signals. To accurately identify causal connectivity for such specified objectives, it is…

Let $\Delta_{L,\rho_n}(t)$ be the twisted Alexander polynomial with respect to the representation given by the composition of the lift of the holonomy representation of a certain hyperbolic link $L$ and the $n$-dimensional irreducible…

We propose an algorithm which allows to derive the generalized Alexander polynomial invariants of knots and links with the help of the q,p-numbers, appearing in bosonic two-parameter quantum algebra. These polynomials turn into HOMFLY ones…

J.P. Levine showed that the Conway polynomial of a link is a product of two factors: one is the Conway polynomial of a knot which is obtained from the link by banding together the components; and the other is determined by the…

The Links-Quivers Correspondence predicts that all the symmetric (or antisymmetric) colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials of a link can be recovered from a finite amount of data (a quiver) associated to the link. We give a new geometric proof of…

Theory of motivic superpolynomials is developed, including its extension to algebraic links colored by rows, relations to $L$-functions of plane curve singularities, the justification of the motivic versions of Weak Riemann Hypothesis, and…

We will prove that, for a $2$ or $3$ component $L$-space link, $HFL^-$ is completely determined by the multi-variable Alexander polynomial of all the sub-links of $L$, as well as the pairwise linking numbers of all the components of $L$. We…

For arborescent links, we present an efficient method of computing their Alexander polynomials. Applying this method, we express the Alexander polynomials of Montesinos links in terms of certain functions associated to rational tangles…

We explore a knot invariant derived from colorings of corresponding $1$-tangles with arbitrary connected quandles. When the quandle is an abelian extension of a certain type the invariant is equivalent to the quandle $2$-cocycle invariant.…

Reasonable spacetimes are non-compact and of dimension larger than two. We show that these spacetimes are globally hyperbolic if and only if the causal diamonds are compact. That is, there is no need to impose the causality condition, as it…
