We extend the configurations discussed in Burghelea's book and Burghelea-Haller's paper on topology of angle-valued maps, equivalently the closed, open and closed-open bar codes from real- or angle-valued maps, to topological closed one…
Kitaev's lattice models are usually defined as representations of the Drinfeld quantum double $D(H)=H\bowtie H^{*\text{op}} $, as an example of a double cross product quantum group. We propose a new version based instead on…
This is a survey of results obtained jointly with E. Aljadeff and published in Adv. Math. 218 (2008), 1453-1495. We explain how to set up a theory of polynomial identities for comodule algebras over a Hopf algebra, and concentrate on the…
In this paper we study the ring $\mathcal{P}$ of combinatorial convex polytopes. We introduce the algebra of operators $\mathcal{D}$ generated by the operators $d_k$ that send an $n$-dimensional polytope $P^n$ to the sum of all its…
By adding or removing appropriate structures to Gauss diagram, one can create useful objects related to virtual links. In this paper few objects of this kind are studied: twisted virtual links generalizing virtual links; signed chord…
This paper introduces the structure of operated polygraphs as a categorical model for rewriting in operated algebras, generalizing Gr\"obner-Shirshov bases with non-monomial termination orders. We provide a combinatorial description of…
Developing an idea of Kapranov and Voevodsky, we introduce a model of weak omega-categories based on directed complexes, combinatorial presentations of pasting diagrams. We propose this as a convenient framework for higher-dimensional…
It is well known since Stasheff's work that 1-fold loop spaces can be described in terms of the existence of higher homotopies for associativity (coherence conditions) or equivalently as algebras of contractible non-symmetric operads. The…
Associated to any manifold equipped with a closed form of degree >1 is an `L-infinity algebra of observables' which acts as a higher/homotopy analog of the Poisson algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold. In order to study Lie group…
We present a detailed study of quantum simulations of coupled spin systems in surface-electrode ion-trap arrays, and illustrate our findings with a proposed implementation of the hexagonal Kitaev model [A. Kitaev, Annals of Physics 321,2…
We give two graph theoretical characterizations of tope graphs of (complexes of) oriented matroids. The first is in terms of excluded partial cube minors, the second is that all antipodal subgraphs are gated. A direct consequence is a third…
We endow the category of bialgebras over a pair of operads in distribution with a cofibrantly generated model category structure. We work in the category of chain complexes over a field of characteristic zero. We split our construction in…
A combinatorial neural code $\mathscr C\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ is convex if it arises as the intersection pattern of convex open subsets of $\mathbb R^d$. We relate the emerging theory of convex neural codes to the established theory of oriented…
In this paper, we study the perturbative aspects of a twisted version of the two-dimensional $(0,2)$ heterotic sigma model on a holomorphic gauge bundle $\mathcal E$ over a complex, hermitian manifold $X$. We show that the model can be…
An analysis of extension of Hamiltonian operators from lower order to higher order of matrix paves a way for constructing Hamiltonian pairs which may result in hereditary operators. Based on a specific choice of Hamiltonian operators of…
Swartz proved that any matroid can be realized as the intersection lattice of an arrangement of codimension one homotopy spheres on a sphere. This was an unexpected extension from the oriented matroid case, but unfortunately the…
We introduce and study the notion of a dual Feynman transform of a modular operad. This generalizes and gives a conceptual explanation of Kontsevich's dual construction producing graph cohomology classes from a contractible differential…
We develop a combinatorial rule to compute the real geometry of type B Schubert curves $S(\lambda_\bullet)$ in the orthogonal Grassmannian $\mathrm{OG}_n$, which are one-dimensional Schubert problems defined with respect to orthogonal flags…
We provide spectral Lie algebras with enveloping algebras over the operad of little $G$-framed $n$-dimensional disks for any choice of dimension $n$ and structure group $G$, and we describe these objects in two complementary ways. The first…
In recent years it has been noted that a number of combinatorial structures such as real and complex hyperplane arrangements, interval greedoids, matroids and oriented matroids have the structure of a finite monoid called a left regular…
