We give a representation-theoretic bijection between rooted labeled forests with $n$ vertices and complete exceptional sequences for the quiver of type $A_n$ with straight orientation. The ascending and descending vertices in the forest…

We show that branched coverings of surfaces of large enough genus arise as characteristic maps of braided surfaces that is, lift to embeddings in the product of the surface with $\mathbb R^2$. This result is nontrivial already for…

This paper gives a construction of braid group actions on the derived category of coherent sheaves on a variety $X$. The motivation for this is Kontsevich's homological mirror conjecture, together with the occurrence of certain braid group…

We give an introduction to partially wrapped Fukaya categories of surfaces with orbifold singularities. Dissecting an orbifold surface $\mathbf S$ into polygons, certain dissections give rise to formal generators, inducing a triangulated…

We confirm a conjecture by Lekili and Polishchuk that the geometric invariants which they construct for homologically smooth graded (not necessarily proper) gentle algebras form a complete derived invariant. Hence, we obtain a complete…

We construct differential graded enhancements of the zigzag algebras which were used by Khovanov, Seidel and Thomas to produce categorical braid group actions. These enhancements are related to $p$-differential graded structures by a…

This paper studies the class of spherical objects over any Kodaira $n$-cycle of projective lines and provides a parametrization of their isomorphism classes in terms of closed curves on the $n$-punctured torus without self-intersections.…

We argue that various braid group actions on triangulated categories should be extended to projective actions of the category of braid cobordisms and illustrate how this works in examples. We also construct actions of both the affine braid…

We construct a finite dimensional quiver algebra from the non-simply laced type $B$ Dynkin diagram, which we call the type $B$ zigzag algebra. This leads to a faithful categorical action of the type $B$ braid group $\mathcal{A}(B)$, acting…

We characterise those basic and connected Nakayama algebras $\Lambda$ for which the mutation of $\tau$-exceptional sequences respects the braid group relations. We show that this is the case if and only if $\Lambda$ is hereditary or all…

We study the partially wrapped Fukaya category of a surface with boundary with an action of a group of order two. Inspired by skew-group algebras and categories, we define the notion of a skew-group $A_\infty$-category and let it play the…

We construct finite group actions on Lagrangian Floer theory when symplectic manifolds have finite group actions and Lagrangian submanifolds have induced group actions. We first define finite group actions on Novikov-Morse theory. We…

Enhanced gauge symmetry appears in Type II string theory (as well as F- and M-theory) compactified on Calabi--Yau manifolds containing exceptional divisors meeting in Dynkin configurations. It is shown that in many such cases, at enhanced…
