I coined the term anabelomorphy (pronounced as anabel-o-morphy) as a concise way of expressing Mochizuki's idea of "anabelian way of changing ground field, rings etc." which was he has introduced in his work on his Inter-Universal…

This is a concise overview of the definitions and properties of the linking number and its higher-order generalization, Milnor invariants.

We investigate the $\lambda$-invariants of Mazur--Tate elements of elliptic curves defined over the field of rational numbers at primes of additive reduction. We explain their growth and how these invariants relate to other better…

We consider the ring of coinvariants for modular representations of cyclic groups of prime order. For all cases for which explicit generators for the ring of invariants are known, we give a reduced Gr\"obner basis for the Hilbert ideal and…

In this paper, we study $q$-difference analogues of several central results in value distribution theory of several complex variables such as $q$-difference versions of the logarithmic derivative lemma, the second main theorem for…

In various situations in Floer theory, one extracts homological invariants from "Morse-Bott" data in which the "critical set" is a union of manifolds, and the moduli spaces of "flow lines" have evaluation maps taking values in the critical…

For an arrangement with complement X and fundamental group G, we relate the truncated cohomology ring, H^{<=2}(X), to the second nilpotent quotient, G/G_3. We define invariants of G/G_3 by counting normal subgroups of a fixed prime index p,…

In his 1957 paper, John Milnor introduced link invariants which measure the homotopy class of the longitudes of a link relative to the lower central series of the link group. Consequently, these invariants determine the lower central series…

We consider questions in Galois cohomology which arise by considering mod $p$ Galois representations arising from automorphic forms. We consider a Galois cohomological analog for the standard heuristics about the distribution of Wieferich…

We generalise the Milnor-Schwarz lemma to inverse monoids acting on presheaves of geodesic metric spaces. We provide two proofs of this fact: one only uses elementary techniques, inspired by the arguments for group actions on metric spaces;…

For any Legendrian link, L, in (\R^3, \ker(dz-y\,dx)) we define invariants, Aug_m(L,q), as normalized counts of augmentations from the Legendrian contact homology DGA of L into a finite field of order q where the parameter m is a divisor of…

The moduli space of twisted holomorphic 1-forms on Riemann surfaces, equivalently dilation surfaces with scaling, admits a stratification and GL(2,R)-action as in the case of moduli spaces of translation surfaces. We produce an analogue of…

The category $\bcalNT$ is a category of certain commutative graded algebras over a field. It was introduced in \cite{Lobos2} as a generalization of algebras generated by Jucys-Murphy elements in the many \textbf{End} algebras of the…

For finitely generated subgroups $W_1, \ldots , W_t$ of $\mathbb{Q}^{\times}$, integers $k_1, \ldots , k_t$, a Galois extension $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ and a union of conjugacy classes $C \subset \text{Gal}(F/\mathbb{Q})$, we develop methods…

We propose a gauge model of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and its nonabelian generalization from which we derive knot invariants such as the Jones polynomial. Our approach is inspired by the work of Witten who derived knot invariants from…

Many important invariants for matroids and polymatroids, such as the Tutte polynomial, the Billera-Jia-Reiner quasi-symmetric function, and the invariant $\mathcal G$ introduced by the first author, are valuative. In this paper we construct…

Oleg Viro studied in arXiv:math/0204290 two interpretations of the (multivariable) Alexander polynomial as a quantum link invariant: either by considering the quasi triangular Hopf algebra associated to $U_q sl(2)$ at fourth roots of unity,…

For $\Gamma=\mathbb{Z}_p$, Iwasawa was the first to construct $\Gamma$-extensions over number fields with arbitrarily large $\mu$-invariants. In this work, we investigate other uniform pro-$p$ groups which are realizable as Galois groups of…

We define invariants of oriented surface-links by enhancing the biquandle counting invariant using \textit{biquandle modules}, algebraic structures defined in terms of biquandle actions on commutative rings analogous to Alexander…

In this paper we introduce an algebraic structure known as meta-monoids which is particularly suited for the study of knot theory. We define a meta-monoid called $\Gamma$-calculus that gives an Alexander invariant of tangles. We believe…
