For smooth linear group schemes over $\bbZ$ we give a cohomological interpretation of the local Tamagawa measures as cohomological periods. This is in the spirit of the Tamagawa measures for motives defined by Bloch and Kato. We show that…
Using elementary ideas from Tropical Geometry, we assign a a tropical curve to every $q$-holonomic sequence of rational functions. In particular, we assign a tropical curve to every knot which is determined by the Jones polynomial of the…
Twisted torus knots and links are given by twisting adjacent strands of a torus link. They are geometrically simple and contain many examples of the smallest volume hyperbolic knots. Many are also Lorenz links. We study the geometry of…
Knot mosaics were introduced by Kauffman and Lomonaco in the context of quantum knots, but have since been studied for their own right. A classical knot mosaic is formed on a square grid. In this work, we identify opposite edges of the…
We introduce the notion of H-equivariant Morita-Takeuchi theory for coalgebras with symmetries given by a Hopf algebra H. A cohomology theory is introduced which classifies the possible lifts of coactions on coalgebras to corresponding…
We consider isomonodromic deformations of connections with a simple pole on the torus, motivated by the elliptic version of the sixth Painlev\'e equation. We establish an extended symmetry, complementing known results. The Calogero-Moser…
This paper states a definition of homotopic rotation set for higher genus surface homeomorphisms, as well as a collection of results that justify this definition. We first prove elementary results: we prove that this rotation set is…
A Kuranishi space is a topological space with a Kuranishi structure, defined by Fukaya and Ono. Kuranishi structures occur naturally on moduli spaces of J-holomorphic curves in symplectic geometry. Let Y be an orbifold and R a commutative…
Let $X$ be a complete simplicial toric variety over a finite field with a split torus $T_X$. For any matrix $Q$, we are interested in the subgroup $Y_Q$ of $T_X$ parameterized by the columns of $Q$. We give an algorithm for obtaining a…
We give, using an explicit expression obtained in [V. Jones, Ann. of Math. 126, 335 (1987)], a basic hypergeometric representation of the HOMFLY polynomial of $(n,m)$ torus knots, and present a number of equivalent expressions, all related…
Chow rings of toric varieties, which originate in intersection theory, feature a rich combinatorial structure of independent interest. We survey four different ways of computing in these rings, due to Billera, Brion, Fulton--Sturmfels, and…
We establish a Kauffman-Murasugi-Thistlethwaite-type theorem for alternating knots in a solid torus. Specifically, we show that any dotted-reduced alternating diagram of a knot in a handlebody realizes the minimal crossing number, and that…
We introduce a new approach to the study of a system of algebraic equations in the algebraic torus whose Newton polytopes have sufficiently general relative positions. Our method is based on the theory of Parshin's residues and tame symbols…
This is a survey of knot contact homology, with an emphasis on topological, algebraic, and combinatorial aspects.
We study a connection between random tensors and random matrices through $U(\tau)$ matrix models which generate fully packed, oriented loops on random surfaces. The latter are found to be in bijection with a set of regular edge-colored…
Set out here are some fundamental theories that may be regarded as newly discovered metamathematics of the odd integers in relation to the Collatz conjecture (also called the 3x+1 problem). Originally motivated by the requirement to invent…
This is the first article of a series of two where we study the problem of bounded deviations for homeomorphisms of closed surfaces of genus $\ge 2$. This first part studies bounded deviations with respect to closed geodesics. As a…
We introduce the concept of tied links in the solid torus, which generalize naturally the concept of tied links in $S^3$ previously introduced by Aicardi and Juyumaya. We also define an invariant of these tied links by using skein…
By using tensor analysis, we find a connection between normed algebras and the parallelizability of the spheres S$^1$, S$^3$ and S$^7.$ In this process, we discovered the analogue of Hurwitz theorem for curved spaces and a geometrical…
We give explicit deformations of embeddings of abstractly planar graphs that lie on the standard torus $T^2 \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ and that contain neither a nontrivial knot nor a nonsplit link into the plane. It follows that ravels do not…
