We analyze the W_N^l algebras according to their conjectured realization as the second Hamiltonian structure of the integrable hierarchy resulting from the interchange of x and t in the l^{th} flow of the sl(N) KdV hierarchy. The W_4^3…

Motivated by representation theory and geometry, we introduce and develop an equivariant generalization of Ehrhart theory, the study of lattice points in dilations of lattice polytopes. We prove representation-theoretic analogues of…

We describe the subracks of the conjugacy classes of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$ based on Dickson's theorem on subgroups of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$. All minimal non-abelian subracks of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$ are determined. Further, we provide a general…

We study a class of representations of the Lie algebra of Laurent polynomials with values in the nilpotent subalgebra of sl(3). We derive Weyl-type (bosonic) character formulas for these representations. We establish a connection between…

Witt spaces are pseudomanifolds for which the middle-perversity intersection homology with rational coefficients is self-dual. We give a new construction of the symmetric signature for Witt spaces which is similar in spirit to the…

We introduce a new equivalence relation, named R-equivalence relation, on the set of colorings of an oriented knot diagram by a quandle. We determine the R-equivalence classes of colorings of a diagram of a torus knot by a quandle, called…

We consider a class of linear ODEs of second order with variable coefficients and construct its Lie algebra of Lie group of equivalence transformations. Further we find invariants and differential invariants of this Lie algebra and by using…

We classify one-dimensional restricted central extensions of the modular Witt Lie algebra in characteristic $p>3$.

We prove a Milnor-Wood inequality for representations of the fundamental group of a compact complex hyperbolic manifold in the group of isometries of quaternionic hyperbolic space. Of special interest is the case of equality, and its…

To every matroid, we associate a class in the K-theory of the Grassmannian. We study this class using the method of equivariant localization. In particular, we provide a geometric interpretation of the Tutte polynomial. We also extend…

The aim of this paper is to discuss some applications of the relation between Seiberg-Witten theory and two natural norms defined on the first cohomology group of a closed 3-manifold N - the Alexander and Thurston norms. We start by giving…

In this paper, we show the existence of universal inequalities for the $h^*$-vector of a lattice polytope P, that is, we show that there are relations among the coefficients of the $h^*$-polynomial which are independent of both the…

Using the equivalence between the renormalized Euler characteristic of Ozsvath and Szabo, and the Turaev torsion normalized by the Casson-Walker invariant, we make calculations for $S^3_{p/q}(K)$. An alternative proof of a theorem by…

Gauss and Dedekind have shown a bijection between the set of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$-equivalence classes of primitive positive definite binary quadratic $\mathbb{Z}$-forms of the discriminant of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\Delta<0})$ and the…

We introduce crossingless sheaves in certain equivariant derived categories which are analogous to the Bezrukavnikov-Mirkovic exotic sheaves for two-block nilpotents. We calculate the classes of crossingless sheaves in equivariant K-theory…

We consider a large family of equivalence relations on permutations in Sn that generalise those discovered by Knuth in his study of the Robinson-Schensted correspondence. In our most general setting, two permutations are equivalent if one…

This paper investigates the equivalence reduction for several classes of multivariate polynomial matrices and their Smith forms, establishing some criteria for such reduction. In particular, we employ algebra isomorphisms as a key tool to…

In a previous paper [CG], we showed how one could generalize Taylor-Wiles modularity lifting theorems [Wil95, TW95] to contexts beyond those in which the automorphic forms in question arose from the middle degree cohomology of Shimura…

The analysis of the relation between modular P$_1$CT-symmetry -- a consequence of the Unruh effect -- and Pauli's spin-statistics relation is continued. The result in the predecessor to this article is extended to the Lorentz symmetric…

Using diagrammatic methods, we define a quiver algebra depending on a prime p and show that it is the algebra underlying the category of tilting modules for SL(2) in characteristic p. Along the way we obtain a presentation for morphisms…
