We consider the (extended) metaplectic representation of the semidirect product $\mathcal{G}={\mathbb H}^d\rtimes Sp(d,{\mathbb R})$ between the Heisenberg group and the symplectic group. Subgroups $H=\Sigma \rtimes D$, with $\Sigma$ being…

For a subvariety of a smooth projective variety, consider the family of smooth hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree containing it, and take the quotient of the middle cohomology of the hypersurfaces by the cohomology of the ambient…

Word-representable graphs, which are the same as semi-transitively orientable graphs, generalize several fundamental classes of graphs. In this paper we propose a novel approach to study word-representability of graphs using a technique of…

Given a saturated fusion system $\mathcal{F}$ over a finite $p$-group $S$, we provide criteria to determine when uniqueness of factorization into irreducible $\mathcal{F}$--invariant representations holds. We use them to prove uniqueness of…

We classify the Sch\"utzenberger groups of the category of matrices over the tropical semiring, $M(\mathbb{T})$, in doing so, we obtain a classification for the Sch\"utzenberger groups of the semigroupoid of matrices over the finitary…

This paper develops the fundamentals of modular representation theory for finite monoids, introducing the decomposition matrix and exploring its connection to Brauer characters. We define modular characteristic and explain how the…

For every group $G$, the set $\mathcal{P}(G)$ of its subsets forms a semiring under set-theoretical union $\cup$ and element-wise multiplication $\cdot$ and forms an involution semigroup under $\cdot$ and element-wise inversion ${}^{-1}$.…

This paper studies complete rewriting systems and biautomaticity for three interesting classes of finite-rank homogeneous monoids: Chinese monoids, hypoplactic monoids, and sylvester monoids. For Chinese monoids, we first give new…

We consider a superalgebra with a superinvolution or graded involution $\#$ over a field $F$ of characteristic zero and assume that it is a $PI$-algebra. In this paper, we present the proof of a version of the celebrated hook theorem…

We prove that the monodromy diffeomorphism of a complex 2-dimensional isolated hypersurface singularity of weighted-homogeneous type has infinite order in the smooth mapping class group of the Milnor fiber, provided the singularity is not a…

For a given smooth $2$-knot in $S^4$, we relate the existence of a smooth Seifert hypersurface of a certain class to the existence of irreducible $ SU(2)$-representations of its knot group. For example, we see that any smooth $2$-knot…

We study maximal representations of surface groups $\rho:\pi_1(\Sigma)\to\mathrm{SO}_0(2,n+1)$ via the introduction of $\rho$-invariant pleated surfaces inside the pseudo-Riemannian space $\mathbb{H}^{2,n}$ associated to maximal geodesic…

Monoids generated by elements of order two appear in numerous places in the literature. For example, Coxeter reflection groups in geometry, Kuratowski monoids in topology, various monoids generated by regular operations in language theory…

This article studies the properties of word-hyperbolic semigroups and monoids, i.e. those having context-free multiplication tables with respect to a regular combing, as defined by Duncan & Gilman. In particular, the preservation of…

We show that the representation category of the quantum group of a non-degenerate bilinear form is monoidally equivalent to the representation category of the quantum group SL_q(2), for a well chosen non-zero parameter q. The main…

We classify semisimple rigid monoidal categories with two isomorphism classes of simple objects over the field of complex numbers. In the appendix written by P.Etingof it is proved that the number of semisimple Hopf algebras with a given…

We show that being finitely presentable and being finitely presentable with solvable word problem are quasi-isometry invariants of finitely generated left cancellative monoids. Our main tool is an elementary, but useful, geometric…

We study PBW bases of the untwisted quantum loop group $U_q(L\mathfrak{g})$ (in the Drinfeld new presentation) using the combinatorics of loop words, by generalizing the treatment of [29,30,43] in the finite type case. As an application, we…

We introduce a faithful tropical linear representation of the Chinese monoid, and thus prove that this monoid admits all the semigroup identities satisfied by tropical triangular matrices.

A new sufficient condition under which a semigroup admits no finite identity basis has been recently suggested in a joint paper by Karl Auinger, Yuzhu Chen, Xun Hu, Yanfeng Luo, and the author (see http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.0783). Here we…
