We show that the Hurwitz action is "as transitive as possible" on reflection factorizations of Coxeter elements in the well-generated complex reflection groups $G(d, 1, n)$ (the group of $d$-colored permutations) and $G(d, d, n)$.
A permutation group is innately transitive if it has a transitive minimal normal subgroup, and this subgroup is called a plinth. In this paper we study three special types of inclusions of innately transitive permutation groups in wreath…
We construct an infinite family of topologically slice knots that are not smoothly concordant to their reverses. More precisely, if T denotes the concordance group of topologically slice knots and R is the involution of T induced by string…
Let $w_{n,k,m}$ be the number of Dyck paths of semilength $n$ with $k$ occurrences of $UD$ and $m$ occurrences of $UUD$. We establish in two ways a new interpretation of the numbers $w_{n,k,m}$ in terms of plane trees and internal nodes.…
There are two parts to this work, which are largely independent. The first consists of a series of results concerning the crystal commutor of Henriques and Kamnitzer. We first describe the relationship between the crystal commutor and…
Consider an equidimensional faithful conical action of an algebraic torus $T$ on an affine normal conical variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Then there exists a finite normal subgroup $N$ of $T$ such that…
We introduce coplactic raising and lowering operators $E'_i$, $F'_i$, $E_i$, and $F_i$ on shifted skew semistandard tableaux. We show that the primed operators and unprimed operators each independently form type A Kashiwara crystals (but…
We describe a method for solving the conjugacy problem in a vast class of rearrangement groups of fractals, a family of Thompson-like groups introduced in 2019 by Belk and Forrest. We generalize the methods of Belk and Matucci for the…
We study a systematic improvement of perturbation theory for gauge fields on the lattice [hep-lat/0606001]; the improvement entails resumming, to all orders in the coupling constant, a dominant subclass of tadpole diagrams. This method,…
Mirror symmetry predicts an action by the fundamental group of a conjectural stringy K\"ahler moduli space on the derived category of an algebraic variety. For a toric variety, a model for this space is understood, but constructing the…
We investigate the so-called dual Matsumoto property or Hurwitz action in finite, affine and arbitrary Coxeter groups. In particular, we want to investigate how to reduce reflection factorizations and how two reflection factorizations of…
We define a nontrivial mod 2 valued additive concordance invariant defined on the torsion subgroup of the knot concordance group using involutive knot Floer package. For knots not contained in its kernel, we prove that their iterated…
We introduce coplactic raising and lowering operators $E'_i$, $F'_i$, $E_i$, and $F_i$ on shifted skew semistandard tableaux. We show that the primed operators and unprimed operators each independently form type A Kashiwara crystals (but…
We make explicit a triple crystal structure on higher level Fock spaces, by investigating at the combinatorial level the actions of two affine quantum groups and of a Heisenberg algebra. To this end, we first determine a new indexation of…
Drinfeld defined a unitarized R-matrix for any quantum group U_q(g). This gives a commutor for the category of U_q(g) representations, making it into a coboundary category. Henriques and Kamnitzer defined another commutor which also gives…
We study the ring of invariant functions over the $N$-fold Cartesian product of copies of the compact Lie group $G=SU(2)$, modulo the action of conjugation by the diagonal subgroup, generalizing the group character ring. For $N=1$, an…
To an inverse semigroup, we associate an \'etale groupoid such that its actions on topological spaces are equivalent to actions of the inverse semigroup. Both the object and the arrow space of this groupoid are non-Hausdorff. We show that…
Given a certain triangulation of a punctured surface with boundary, we construct a new triangulated surface without punctures which covers it. This new surface is naturally equipped with an action of a group of order two, and its quotient…
We combinatorially characterize the number $\mathrm{cc}_2$ of conjugacy classes of involutions in any Coxeter group in terms of higher rank odd graphs. This notion naturally generalizes the concept of odd graphs, used previously to count…
Consider Kashiwara's crystal associated to a highest weight representation of a symmetric Kac-Moody algebra. There is a geometric realization of this object using Nakajima's quiver varieties, but in many particular cases it can also be…
