A fundamental problem in the theory of Hopf algebras is the classification and explicit construction of finite-dimensional quasitriangular Hopf algebras over C. These Hopf algebras constitute a very important class of Hopf algebras,…
A simply laced Dynkin diagram gives rise to a family of curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ and a coregular representation, using deformations of simple singularities and Vinberg theory respectively. Thorne has conjectured and partially proven a…
This work applies the ideas of Alekseev and Meinrenken's Non-commutative Chern-Weil Theory to describe a completely combinatorial and constructive proof of the Wheeling Theorem. In this theory, the crux of the proof is, essentially, the…
An associative algebra of holomorphic differential forms is constructed associated with pure N=2 Super-Yang-Mills theory for the Lie algebra F4. Existence and associativity of this algebra, combined with the general arguments in the work of…
Recent developments of affine algebraic geometry, especially the theory of open algebraic surfaces, provide means to systematically explore geometric and topological properties of polynomials in two variables. Nevertheless, there is one…
In this paper, we develop the theory of Jacobian rings of open complete intersections, which mean a pair $(X,Z)$ where $X$ is a smooth complete intersection in the projective space and and $Z$ is a simple normal crossing divisor in $X$…
The Tutte polynomial is the most general invariant of matroids and graphs that can be computed recursively by deleting and contracting edges. We generalize this invariant to any class of combinatorial objects with deletion and contraction…
Davydov--Yetter (DY) cohomology classifies infinitesimal deformations of the monoidal structure of tensor functors and tensor categories. In this paper we provide new tools for the computation of the DY cohomology for finite tensor…
We study Lie subalgebras $L$ of the vector fields $\mathrm{Vec}^{c}({\mathbb A}^{2})$ of affine 2-space ${\mathbb A}^{2}$ of constant divergence, and we classify those $L$ which are isomorphic to the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{aff}_{2}$ of the…
In the large rank limit, for any nonexceptional affine algebra, the graded branching multiplicities known as one-dimensional sums, are conjectured to have a simple relationship with those of type A, which are known as generalized Kostka…
We generalize the basic results of Vinberg's \theta-groups, or periodically graded reductive Lie algebras, to fields of good positive characteristic. To this end we clarify the relationship between the little Weyl group and the (standard)…
We survey results on mutations of Jacobian algebras, while simultaneously extending them to the more general setup of frozen Jacobian algebras, which arise naturally from dimer models with boundary and in the context of the additive…
The Kazakov-Migdal model, if considered as a functional of external fields, can be always represented as an expansion over characters of $GL$ group. The integration over "matter fields" can be interpreted as going over the {\it model} (the…
Kontsevich's formality theorem states that the differential graded Lie algebra of multidifferential operators on a manifold M is L-infinity-quasi-isomorphic to its cohomology. The construction of the L-infinity map is given in terms of…
In this note we present variants of Kostov's theorem on a versal deformation of a parabolic point of a complex analytic $1$-dimensional vector field. First we provide a self-contained proof of Kostov's theorem, together with a proof that…
The $j$-multiplicity plays an important role in the intersection theory of St\"uckrad-Vogel cycles, while recent developments confirm the connections between the $\epsilon$-multiplicity and equisingularity theory. In this paper we…
In this paper we propose a generalization of the Kontsevich--Soibelman conjecture on the degeneration of Hochschild-to-cyclic spectral sequence for smooth and compact DG category. Our conjecture states identical vanishing of a certain map…

Let G be a finite group acting on a finite dimensional real vector space V. We denote by P(V) the projective space associated to V. In this paper we compute in a very explicit way the rank of the equivariant complex K-theory of V and P(V),…
For a given finite dimensional Hopf algebra $H$ we describe the set of all equivalence classes of cocycle deformations of $H$ as an affine variety, using methods of geometric invariant theory. We show how our results specialize to the…
