Alternating-sign Hopf plumbing along a tree yields fibered alternating links whose homological monodromy is, up to a sign, conjugate to some alternating-sign Coxeter transformation. Exploiting this tie, we obtain results about the location…
We introduce the class of linearly shellable pure simplicial complexes. The characterizing property is the existence of a labeling of their vertices such that all linear extensions of the Bruhat order on the set of facets are shelling…
We develop the theory of special biserial and string coalgebras and other concepts from the representation theory of quivers. These tools are then used to describe the finite dimensional comodules and Auslander-Reiten quiver for the…
We generalize the modular Koszul duality of Achar-Riche to the setting of Soergel bimodules associated to any finite Coxeter system. The key new tools are a functorial monodromy action and wall-crossing functors in the mixed modular derived…
We present a combinatorial procedure (based on the W-graph of the Coxeter group) which shows that the characters of many intersection cohomology complexes on low rank complex flag varieties with coefficients in an arbitrary field are given…
A new notion of cohomology is introduced for MT-spaces, which are measurable and topological spaces whose measurable structure may not agree with the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of their topology. The main examples of MTspaces are measurable…
Super Weyl group plays an important role in the study of representations of basic classical Lie superalgebras. The Coxeter graphs for super Weyl groups of basis classical Lie superalgebras have been given in \cite{CLS}, where the authors…
Weighted cup-length calculations in singular cohomology led Farber and Grant in 2008 to general lower bounds for the topological complexity of lens spaces. We replace singular cohomology by K-theory, and weighted cup-length arguments by…
We construct complex root spaces remaining invariant under antilinear involutions related to all Coxeter groups. We provide two alternative constructions: One is based on deformations of factors of the Coxeter element and the other based on…
We study the diagrammatic Hecke category associated with the affine Weyl group of type $\tilde{A}_2$. More precisely we find a (surprisingly simple) basis for the Hom spaces between indecomposable objects, that we call indecomposable double…
It is well-known that ADE Dynkin diagrams classify both the simply-laced simple Lie algebras and simple singularities. We introduce a polygonal wheel in a plane for each case of ADE, called the Coxeter wheel. We show that equivalence…
We study the self-energies of weakly interacting scalar fields in de Sitter space with one field much lighter than the Hubble scale. We argue that self-energies drastically simplify in this light limit. We illustrate this in theories with…
Every Coxeter group admits a geometric representation as a group generated by reflections in a real vector space. In the projective representation space, limit directions are limits of injective sequences in the orbit of some base point.…
For a finite Coxeter system and a subset of its diagram nodes, we define spherical elements (a generalization of Coxeter elements). Conjecturally, for Weyl groups, spherical elements index Schubert varieties in a flag manifold G/B that are…
We refine an idea of Deodhar, whose goal is a counting formula for Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. This is a consequence of a simple observation that one can use the solution of Soergel's conjecture to make ambiguities involved in defining…
For a topological space $X$, we introduce a criterion for the $\rm FI$ module $H^i({\rm Conf}_n(X))$ to be finitely generated and give several applications. For instance, if $C$ is a finite connected $CW$ complex, then $X = C \times…
We attempt to give a gentle (though ahistorical) introduction to Koszul duality phenomena for the Hecke category, focusing on the form of this duality studied in joint work of Achar, Riche, Williamson, and the author. We illustrate some key…
We study the relationship between singularities of bi-Hamiltonian systems and algebraic properties of compatible Poisson brackets. As the main tool, we introduce the notion of linearization of a Poisson pencil. From the algebraic viewpoint,…
Illumination complexes are examples of 'flat polyhedral complexes' which arise if several copies of a convex polyhedron (convex body) Q are glued together along some of their common faces (closed convex subsets of their boundaries). A…
For any negative definite plumbed 3-manifold M we construct from its plumbed graph a graded Z[U]-module. This, for rational homology spheres, conjecturally equals the Heegaard-Floer homology of Ozsvath and Szabo, but it has even more…
