We rewrite the (extended) Ooguri-Vafa partition function for colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials for torus knots in terms of the free-fermion (semi-infinite wedge) formalism, making it very similar to the generating function for double Hurwitz…

We prove that the conjugacy problem for the automorphism group of the random graph is Borel complete, and discuss the analogous problem for some other countably categorical structures.

This work investigates the intrinsic properties of the chromatic algebra, introduced by Fendley and Krushkal as a framework to study the chromatic polynomial. We prove that the dimension of the $n$th-order chromatic algebra is the $2n$th…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. We compute the Weyl filtration multiplicities in indecomposable tilting modules and the decomposition numbers for the general linear group over k in terms of cap diagrams under…

Let $G$ be the universal Chevalley-Demazure group scheme corresponding to a reduced irreducible root system of rank $\geq 2$, and let $R$ be a commutative ring. We analyze the linear representations $\rho \colon G(R)^+ \to GL_n (K)$ over an…

The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil…

We consider the family of harmonic measures on a lamination $\mathcal{L}$ of a compact space $X$ by locally symmetric spaces $L$ of noncompact type, i.e. $L\simeq \Gamma_L\backslash G/K$. We establish a natural bijection between these…

We study the structure of the algebra of polynomial invariants for the usual conjugation action of the complex special, SO_n, and general, O_n, orthogonal group on the space of traceless n by n complex matrices. (Note that these two…

Let A^2 be the affine plane over a field K of characteristic 0. Birational morphisms of A^2 are mappings A^2 \to A^2 given by polynomial mappings \phi of the polynomial algebra K[x,y] such that for the quotient fields, one has K(\phi(x),…

We construct chiral theories with the smallest number $n_\chi$ of Weyl fermions that form an anomaly-free set under various Abelian gauge groups. For the $U(1)$ group, where $n_\chi = 5$, we show that the general solution to the anomaly…

We discuss the Borel Tukey ordering on cardinal invariants of the continuum. We observe that this ordering makes sense for a larger class of cardinals than has previously been considered. We then provide a Borel version of a large portion…

We investigate Gaussian actions through the study of their crossed-product von Neumann algebra. The motivational result is Chifan and Ioana's ergodic decomposition theorem for Bernoulli actions (Ergodic subequivalence relations induced by a…

We show that any pointed, preordered module map $\mathfrak{BF}_{\mathrm{gr}}(E) \to \mathfrak{BF}_{\mathrm{gr}}(F)$ between Bowen-Franks modules of finite graphs can be lifted to a unital, graded, diagonal preserving $\ast$-homomorphism…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be an untwisted affine Lie algebra with associated Weyl group $W_a$. To any level 0 weight $\gamma$ we associate a weighted graph $\Gamma_\gamma$ that encodes the orbit of $\gamma$ under the action $W_a$. We show that the…

In this note, we record the proof of a theorem about the coincidence of genuine and homotopy fixed points for isometric group actions on complete Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive sectional curvature, and more generally, certain…

In this paper, we introduce the comaximal graph $\Gamma(L)$ of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra $L$, whose vertices are the nontrivial proper Lie subalgebras of $L$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$, and two vertices $A$ and $B$ are adjacent if and…

A decomposition of a simple graph $G$ is a pair $(G,P)$ where $P$ is a set of subgraphs of $G$, which partitions the edges of $G$ in the sense that every edge of $G$ belongs to exactly one subgraph in $P$. If the elements of $P$ are induced…

We have observations concerning the set theoretic strength of the following combinatorial statements without the axiom of choice. 1. If in a partially ordered set, all chains are finite and all antichains are countable, then the set is…

We provide two methods for constructing smooth bump functions and for smoothly cutting off smooth functions on fractals, one using a probabilistic approach and sub-Gaussian estimates for the heat operator, and the other using the analytic…

In this article, we define and study a geometry and an order on the set of partitions of an even number of objects. One of the definitions involves the partition algebra, a structure of algebra on the set of such partitions depending on an…
