We study triangulated categories which can be modeled by an oriented marked surface $\mathcal{S}$ and a line field $\eta$ on $\mathcal{S}$. This includes bounded derived categories of gentle algebras and -- conjecturally -- all partially…

We propose a novel semi-discrete Kadomtsev--Petviashvili equation with two discrete and one continuous independent variables, which is integrable in the sense of having the standard and adjoint Lax pairs, from the direct linearisation…

We study the distribution of arithmetic invariants associated to Alexander polynomials for certain infinite families of links. The families of links we consider arise from braids on a fixed number of strings. We explore analogies with…

This is a report on associators which is based on my talk at the Mathematische Arbeitstagung in Bonn, June 2011. I first recall Drinfeld's definition of associators and explain my (and its related) results in arXiv:math/0702128 and…

Drinfeld defined the Knizhinik--Zamolodchikov (KZ) associator $\Phi_{\rm KZ}$ by considering the regularized holonomy of the KZ connection along the {\em droit chemin} $[0,1]$. The KZ associator is a group-like element of the free…

We present resent results regarding invertible, non-degenerate solutions of the set-theoretic Yang-Baxter and reflection equations. We recall the notion of braces and we present and prove various fundamental properties required for the…

We prove the existence of classical solutions to the Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations of curvature type on Riemannian manifolds. We also derive new second derivative boundary estimates which allows us to…

The classification of emergent spinor fields according to modified bilinear covariants is scrutinized, in spacetimes with nontrivial topology, which induce inequivalent spin structures. Extended Clifford algebras, constructed by equipping…

Using properties of ordered exponentials and the definition of the Drinfeld associator as a monodromy operator for the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations, we prove that the analytic and the combinatorial definitions of the universal Vassiliev…

We present a method to construct new tilting complexes from existing ones using tensor products, generalizing a result of Rickard. The endomorphism rings of these complexes are generalized matrix rings that are "componentwise" tensor…

It is known that discrete Painlev\'e equations have symmetries of the affine Weyl groups. In this paper we propose a new representation of discrete Painlev\'e equations in which the symmetries become clearly visible. We know how to obtain…

The Alexander theorem (1923) and the Markov theorem (1936) are two classical results in knot theory that show respectively that every link is the closure of a braid and that braids that have the same closure are related by a finite number…

All nonlinear extensions of the source-free Maxwell equations preserving both SO(2) electromagnetic duality invariance and conformal invariance are found, and shown to be limits of a one-parameter generalisation of Born-Infeld…

We show that the Kashiwara-Vergne (KV) problem for quadratic Lie algebras (that is, Lie algebras admitting an invariant scalar product) reduces to the problem of representing the Campbell-Hausdorff series in the form…

We consider the analogue of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture for Drinfeld modular varieties which was formulated by Breuer. We prove this analogue for special points with separable reflex field over the base field by adapting methods which were…

This book is mainly an exposition of the author's works and his joint works with his former students on explicit representations of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, related partial differential equations, linear orthogonal algebraic…

This paper studies the dynamical behavior near a new family of explicit self-similar solutions for the one dimensional Born-Infeld equation. This quasilinear scalar field equation arises from nonlinear electromagnetism, as well as branes in…

We generate hierarchies of derivative nonlinear Schr\"odinger-type equations and their nonlocal extensions from Lie algebra splittings and automorphisms. This provides an algebraic explanation of some known reductions and newly established…

The conformal module of conjugacy classes of braids implicitly appeared in a paper of Lin and Gorin in connection with their interest in the 13. Hilbert Problem. This invariant is the supremum of conformal modules (in the sense of Ahlfors)…

This paper gives a connection between well chosen reductions of the Links-Gould invariants of oriented links and powers of the Alexander-Conway polynomial. We prove these formulas by showing the representations of the braid groups we derive…
