We define the Witt coindex of a link with non-trivial Alexander polynomial, as a concordance invariant from the Seifert form. We show that it provides an upper bound for the (locally flat) slice Euler characteristic of the link, extending…
We prove an upper bound on the sum of the distances between the eigenvalues of a perturbed Schr\"odinger operator $H_0-V$ and the lowest eigenvalue of $H_0$. Our results hold for operators $H_0=-\Delta-V_0$ in one dimension with single-well…
We define Casson-Gordon sigma-invariants for links and give a lower bound of the slice genus of a link in terms of these invariants. We study as an example a family of two component links of genus h and show that their slice genus is h,…
We show that the twisted signature invariants of boundary link concordance derived from unitary representations of the free group are actually ordinary link concordance invariants. We also show how the discontinuity locus of this signature…
We show how Seifert surfaces, so useful for the understanding of the Alexander polynomial \Delta_L(t), can be generalized in order to study the multivariable Alexander polynomial \Delta_L(t_1,...,t_\mu). In particular, we give an elementary…
The present paper is composed of two parts. In the first one we define two pseudo-metrics $L_F$ and $K_F$ on the Teichmu\"uller space of semi-translation surfaces $\mathcal{TQ}_g(\underline k,\epsilon)$, which are the symmetric counterparts…
To each permutation $\sigma$ in $S_{n}$ we associate a triangulation of a fixed $(n+2)$-gon. We then determine the fibers of this association and show that they coincide with the sylvester classes depicted By Novelli, Hivert and Thibon. A…
We consider the Schr\"odinger functional with staggered one-component fermions on a fine lattice of size $(L/a)^3 \times (T/a)$ where $T/a$ must be an odd number. In order to reconstruct the four-component spinors, two different set-ups are…
This is the second of a series of papers in which we introduce and study a rigorous "simplicial" realization of the non-Abelian Chern-Simons path integral for manifolds M of the form M = Sigma x S1 and arbitrary simply-connected compact…
We determine the quantum filtration structure of the Lee homology of all torus links. In particular, this determines the $s$-invariant of a torus link equipped with any orientation. In the special case $T(n,n)$, our result confirms a…
We provide two kinds of representations for the Taylor coefficients of the Weierstrass $\sigma$-function $\sigma(\cdot;\Gamma)$ associated to an arbitrary lattice $\Gamma$ in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}=\mathbb{R}^2$ - the first one in…
We study the topological components of the surface group representations into $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. Utilizing the signature formula established in [14], we determine the number of connected components…
The WRT invariant of a link L in S2xS1 at sufficiently high values of the level r can be expresses as an evaluation of a special polynomial invariant of L at 2r-th root of unity. We categorify this polynomial invariant by associating to L a…
We construct efficient topological cobordisms between torus links and large connected sums of trefoil knots. As an application, we show that the signature invariant $\sigma_\omega$ at $\omega=\zeta_6$ takes essentially minimal values on…
This paper concerns twisted signature invariants of knots and 3-manifolds. In the fibered case, we reduce the computation of these invariants to the study of the intersection form and monodromy on the twisted homology of the fiber surface.…
An L-space link is a link in $S^3$ on which all sufficiently large integral surgeries are L-spaces. We prove that for m, n relatively prime, the r-component cable link $K_{rm,rn}$ is an L-space link if and only if K is an L-space knot and…
We calculate the one-level density of thin subfamilies of a family of Hecke cuspforms formed by twisting the forms in a smaller family by a character. The result gives support up to 1, conditional on GRH, and we also find several of the…
We derive a closed-form expression for the adjoint polynomials of torus knots and investigate their special properties. The results are presented in the very explicit double sum form and provide a deeper insight into the structure of…
We introduce Tristram-Levine signatures of virtual knots and use them to investigate virtual knot concordance. The signatures are defined first for almost classical knots, which are virtual knots admitting homologically trivial…
We show that three natural decision problems about links and 3-manifolds are computationally hard, assuming some conjectures in complexity theory. The first problem is determining whether a link in the 3-sphere bounds a Seifert surface with…
