The symmetric group $\mathsf{S}_n$ and the partition algebra $\mathsf{P}_k(n)$ centralize one another in their actions on the $k$-fold tensor power $\mathsf{M}_n^{\otimes k}$ of the $n$-dimensional permutation module $\mathsf{M}_n$ of…

A manifold is multisymplectic, or more specifically n-plectic, if it is equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential form of degree n+1. In our previous work with Baez and Hoffnung, we described how the `higher analogs' of the…

For a finite dimensional Lie algebra $L$, it is known that $s(L)=\f{1}{2}(n-1)(n-2)+1-\mathrm{dim} M(L)$ is non negative. Moreover, the structure of all finite nilpotent Lie algebras is characterized when $s(L)=0,1$ in \cite{ni,ni4}. In…

An algebra $S$ is called a Skolem-Noether algebra (SN algebra for short) if for every central simple algebra $R$, every homomorphism $R\to R\otimes S$ extends to an inner automorphism of $R\otimes S$. One of the important properties of such…

In this paper, without assuming that manifolds are spin, we prove that if a compact orientable, and connected Riemannian manifold $(M^{n},g)$ with scalar curvature $R_{g}\geq 6$ admits a non-zero degree and $1$-Lipschitz map to…

We prove irreducible components of moduli spaces of semistable representations of skewed-gentle algebras, and more generally, clannish algebras, are isomorphic to products of projective spaces. This is achieved by showing irreducible…

Let $L_n$ be the free metabelian Leibniz algebra generated by the set $X_n=\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. This is the free algebra of rank $n$ in the variety of solvable of class $2$ Leibniz algebras. We call…

We study in detail the %Shrek algebra $\mS_n$ in the title which is an algebra obtained from a polynomial algebra $P_n$ in $n$ variables by adding commuting, {\em left} (but not two-sided) inverses of the canonical generators of $P_n$. The…

In this note we describe conditions under which, in idempotent functional analysis, linear operators have integral representations in terms of idempotent integral of V. P. Maslov. We define the notion of nuclear idempotent semimodule and…

The proof of Witten's finiteness conjecture established that the Kauffman bracket skein modules of closed $3$-manifolds are finitely generated over $\mathbb Q(A)$. In this paper, we develop a novel method for computing these skein modules.…

It is shown that any finite-dimensional homomorphic image of an inverse limit of nilpotent not-necessarily-associative algebras over a field is nilpotent. More generally, this is true of algebras over a general commutative ring k, with…

For a compact 3-manifold M with arbitrary (possibly empty) boundary, we give a parametrization of the set of conjugacy classes of boundary-unipotent representations of the fundamental group of M into SL(n,C). Our parametrization uses…

In this paper we study the skein algebras of marked surfaces and the skein modules of marked 3-manifolds. Muller showed that skein algebras of totally marked surfaces may be embedded in easy to study algebras known as quantum tori. We first…

Let M be a complex nilmanifold, that is, a compact quotient of a nilpotent Lie group endowed with an invariant complex structure by a discrete lattice. A holomorphic differential on M is a closed, holomorphic 1-form. We show that $a(M)\leq…

We show that a left-invariant metric g on a nilpotent Lie group N is a soliton metric if and only if a matrix U and vector v associated the manifold (N,g) satisfy the matrix equation Uv = [1], where [1] is a vector with every entry a one.…

We prove a uniqueness result for finite-dimensional representations of the Kauffman skein algebra $\mathcal{S}_A(S)$ of a surface $S$, when $A$ is a root of unity and when the surface $S$ is a sphere with at most four punctures or a torus…

Suppose that $f$ is a homomorphism from the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}(N_{g,n})$ of a nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components, to $\mathrm{GL}(m,\mathbb{C})$. We prove that if $g\ge 5$, $n\le 1$ and $m\le g-2$,…
