The toric code can be constructed as a gauge theory of finite groups on oriented two dimensional lattices. Here we construct analogous models with the gauge fields belonging to groupoids, which are categories where every morphism has an…
We show, under some natural conditions, that the set of abelian points on the non-anomalous subset of a closed irreducible subvariety $X$ intersected with the union of connected algebraic subgroups of codimension at least $\dim X$ in a…
Within the framework of algebraic quantum field theory, we construct explicitly localized morphisms of a Haag-Kastler net in 1+1-dimensional Minkowski space showing abelian braid group statistics. Moreover, we investigate the scattering…
The equational probabilistic spectrum of a finite algebra is the set of probabilities with which equations are satisfied in the algebra. We study algebras with minimal spectrum, that is, spectra consisting only of the values $1$ and…
In this short note, we describe generating sets for the monoids of consisting of all $2 \times 2$ matrices over certain finite tropical semirings.
We begin with a brief sketch of what is known and conjectured concerning braided monoidal 2-categories and their applications to 4d topological quantum field theories and 2-tangles (surfaces embedded in 4-dimensional space). Then we give…
Let $\ell$ and $m$ be positive integers with $\ell \leq m$, and let $\mathcal{A} = (A_1, \ldots, A_m)$ be a finite sequence of finite subsets of a group $G$ (not necessarily abelian), written multiplicatively. The {\it generalized product…
The virtual singular braid group arises as a natural common generalization of classical singular braid groups and virtual braid groups. In this paper, we study several algebraic properties of the virtual singular braid group $VSG_n$. We…
This paper is devoted to the study of lattices generated by finite Abelian groups. Special species of such lattices arise in the exploration of elliptic curves over finite fields. In case the generating group is cyclic, they are also known…
It is well known that braided monoidal categories are the categorical algebras of the little two-dimensional disks operad. We introduce involutive little disks operads, which are Z/2Z-orbifold versions of the little disks operads. We…
For a finite group $G$, $N_\infty$ operads encode collections of norm maps, and by work of Blumberg--Hill and Rubin their homotopy category is equivalent to the poset of $G$--transfer systems on the subgroup lattice of $G$. In \cite{ABB+25}…
We describe the Zariski-closure of sets of torsion points in connected algebraic groups. This is a generalization of the Manin-Mumford conjecture for commutative algebraic groups proved by Hindry. He proved that every subset with…
This document aims to give a self-contained account of the parts of abelian group theory that are most relevant for algebraic topology. It is almost purely expository, although there are some slightly unusual features in the treatment of…
We show that a family of birational transformations that relate toric Fano 3-folds defined by reflexive lattice polytopes can be identified with mass deformations of corresponding 2d (0,2) supersymmetric quiver gauge theories. These…
We say that a subset $X$ quasi-isometrically boundedly generates a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ if each element $\gamma$ of a finite-index subgroup of $\Gamma$ can be written as a product $\gamma = x_1 x_2 \cdots x_r$ of a bounded…
In this paper, we construct an infinite presentation of the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group of a surface whose generators consist of the set of all "separating twists", all "bounding pair maps", and all "commutators of simply…
The commutator calculus is one of the basic tools in group theory. However, its extension to the non-associative context, based on the usual definition of the lower central series of a loop, is not entirely satisfactory. Namely, the graded…
According to Markov, a subset of an abelian group G of the form {x in G: nx=a}, for some integer n and some element a of G, is an elementary algebraic set; finite unions of elementary algebraic sets are called algebraic sets. We prove that…
At variance from the cases of relative equilibria and relative periodic orbits of dynamical systems with symmetry, the dynamics in relative quasi-periodic tori (namely, subsets of the phase space that project to an invariant torus of the…
We prove that, for $n\geq 3$, the minimal dimension of a model of the classifying space of the full braid group $B_n$, and of the pure braid group $P_n$, with respect to the family of virtually cyclic groups is $n$.
