We formulate the pentagon relation for quantum dilogarithm elements in the structure group of a quantum cluster scattering diagram (QCSD). As an application, we show the nonpositivity of a certain class of nonskew-symmetric QCSDs. Also, we…
In previous work of the second- and third-named authors with Linhui Shen, cluster theory was used to construct wavefunctions for branes in threespace and conjecturally relate them to open Gromov-Witten invariants. This was done by defining…
We prove the positivity conjecture for all skew-symmetric cluster algebras.
This thesis studies skein relations in cluster algebras arising from punctured surfaces. We introduce skein-type identities expressing cluster variables associated with incompatible curves on a surface in terms of cluster variables…
We give a combinatorial description of the ``$D_{2n}$ planar algebra,'' by generators and relations. We explain how the generator interacts with the Temperley-Lieb braiding. This shows the previously known braiding on the even part extends…
We propose a skein model for the quantum cluster algebras of surface type with coefficients. We introduce a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\Sigma,\mathbb{W}}^{A}$ of a walled surface $(\Sigma,\mathbb{W})$, and prove that it has a quantum…
We investigate two algebra of curves on a topological surface with punctures - the cluster algebra of surfaces defined by Fomin, Shapiro, and Thurston, and the generalized skein algebra constructed by Roger and Yang. By establishing their…
We give a skein-theoretic realization of the $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ double affine Hecke algebra of Cherednik using braids and tangles in the punctured torus. We use this to provide evidence of a relationship we conjecture between the classical…
We investigate skein relations in cluster algebras from punctured surfaces, extending the work of \c{C}anak\c{c}i-Schiffler and Musiker-Williams on unpunctured surfaces. Using a combinatorial expansion formula by…
We establish some new theorems on pentagon and pentagram.
We construct the skein category $\mathcal{S}$ of the annulus and show that it is equivalent to the affine Temperley-Lieb category of Graham and Lehrer. It leads to a skein theoretic description of the extended affine Temperley-Lieb…
Building further on work of Marin and Wagner, we give a cubic braid-type skein theory of the Links--Gould polynomial invariant of oriented links and prove that it can be used to evaluate any oriented link, adding this polynomial to the list…
It is shown that the Heisenberg double has a canonical element, satisfying the pentagon relation. From a given invertible constant solution to the pentagon relation one can restore the structure of the underlying algebras. Drinfeld double…
We give generators and relations for the planar algebras corresponding to $ADE$ subfactors. We also give a basis and an algorithm to express an arbitrary diagram as a linear combination of these basis diagrams.
The main subject of the paper is the pentagon relation. This relation can be expressed in different ways. We start with the natural geometric form of the pentagon relation. Then we express it in algebraic form as a family of equations with…
For an unpunctured marked surface $\Sigma$, we consider a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\mathfrak{sl}_{3},\Sigma}^{q}$ consisting of $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-webs on $\Sigma$ with the boundary skein relations at marked points. We construct a quantum…
A conjecture by Gekhtman, Shapiro and Vainshtein suggests a correspondence between the Belavin - Drinfeld classification of solutions of the classical Yang - Baxter equation and cluster structures on simple Lie groups. This paper confirms…
We construct vast families of orthogonal operators obeying pentagon relation in a direct sum of three n-dimensional vector spaces. As a consequence, we obtain pentagon relations in Grassmann algebras, making a far reaching generalization of…
A complete classification of all finite bijective set-theoretic solutions $(S,s)$ to the Pentagon Equation is obtained. First, it is shown that every such solution determines a semigroup structure on the set $S$ that is the direct product…
I introduce new Langlands duality conjectures concerning skein modules of 3-manifolds, which we have made recently with David Ben-Zvi, Sam Gunningham, and Pavel Safronov. I recount some historical motivation and some recent special cases…
