The notion of a braided chord diagram is introduced and studied. An equivalence relation is given which identifies all braidings of a fixed chord diagram. It is shown that finite-type invariants are stratified by braid index for knots which…
The Grassmannian is a disjoint union of open positroid varieties $P_v$, certain smooth irreducible subvarieties whose definition is motivated by total positivity. The coordinate ring of $P_v$ is a cluster algebra, and each reduced plabic…
We classify closed 3-braids which are L-space knots.
We study simple branched coverings of degree d of the 2- and 3- dimensional sphere branched over oriented links. We demonstrate how to use braid charts to develop embeddings of these into $S^k \times D^2$ for $k=2,3 when $d=2,3$. This is an…
We compute the cohomologies of two strand braid varieties using the two-form present in cluster structures. We confirm these results with proof using Alexander and Poincar\'e duality. Further, we consider products of braid varieties and…
We describe presentations of braid groups of type $A$ arising from coloured quivers of mutation type $A$. We show that these can be interpreted geometrically as generalised triangulations of regular polygons.
We study a moduli problem on a nodal curve of arithmetic genus 1, whose solution is an open subscheme in the zastava space for projective line. This moduli space is equipped with a natural Poisson structure, and we compute it in a natural…
We show that the coordinate ring of an open positroid variety coincides with the cluster algebra associated to a Postnikov diagram. This confirms conjectures of Postnikov, Muller--Speyer, and Leclerc, and generalizes results of Scott and…
These are notes for a series of lectures presented at the ASIDE conference 2016. The definition of a cluster algebra is motivated through several examples, namely Markov triples, the Grassmannians $Gr_2(\mathbb{C})$, and the appearance of…
We introduce some new Frobenius subcategories of the module category of a preprojective algebra of Dynkin type, and we show that they have a cluster structure in the sense of Buan-Iyama-Reiten-Scott. These categorical cluster structures…
We construct a graded cluster algebra structure on the Cox ring of a smooth complex variety $Z$, depending on a base cluster structure on the ring of regular functions of an open subset $Y$ of $Z$. After considering some elementary examples…
The contents of this 6-page paper have been subsumed into the 13-page paper, "A note on closed 3-braids", arXiv:0802.1072 [math.GT]. This paper is correct, but contains less information than the new one. The topological classification of…
We prove that generic elements of braid groups are pseudo-Anosov, in the following sense: in the Cayley graph of the braid group with n $\ge$ 3 strands, with respect to Garside's generating set, we prove that the proportion of pseudo-Anosov…
We show the existence of quasi-cluster $\mathcal{A}$-structures and cluster Poisson structures on moduli stacks of sheaves with singular support in the alternating strand diagram of grid plabic graphs by studying the microlocal parallel…
Leclerc constructed a conjectural cluster structure on Richardson varieties in simply laced types using cluster categories. We show that in type A, his conjectural cluster structure is in fact a cluster structure. We do this by comparing…
The cluster automorphism group of a cluster variety was defined by Gekhtman--Shapiro--Vainshtein, and later studied by Lam--Speyer. Braid varieties are interesting affine algebraic varieties indexed by positive braid words. It was proved…
We use grid diagrams to present a unified picture of braids, Legendrian knots, and transverse knots.
For an oriented surface link $S$, we can take a satellite construction called a 2-dimensional braid over $S$, which is a surface link in the form of a covering over $S$. We demonstrate that 2-dimensional braids over surface links are useful…
A long-term research proposal on the algebraic structure, the representations and the possible applications of paraparticle algebras is structured in three modules: The first part stems from an attempt to classify the inequivalent gradings…
By viewing $\tilde{A}$ and $\tilde{D}$ type cluster algebras as triangulated surfaces, we find all cluster variables in terms of either (i) the frieze pattern (or bipartite belt) or (ii) the periodic quantities previously found for the…
