The Kauffman bracket skein module $S(M)$ of a 3-manifold $M$ is a $\mathbb{Q}(A)$-vector space spanned by links in $M$ modulo the so-called Kauffman relations. In this article, for any closed oriented surface $\Sigma$ we provide an explicit…

We use Kashiwara's theory of crystal bases to study plactic monoids for $U_{q}(so_{2n+1})$ and $U_{q}(so_{2n})$. Simultaneously we describe a Schensted type correspondence in the crystal graphs of tensor powers of vector and spin…

Let $X$ be a smooth cubic threefold. By invoking ideas from Geometric Manin's Conjecture, we give a complete description of the main components of the Kontsevich moduli space of genus one stable maps $\overline{M}_{1,0}(X)$. In particular,…

We start with a discussion on Alexander invariants, and then prove some general results concerning the divisibility of the Alexander polynomials and the supports of the Alexander modules, via Artin's vanishing theorem for perverse sheaves.…

Springer varieties appear in both geometric representation theory and knot theory. Motivated by knot theory and categorification Khovanov provides a topological construction of $(n/2, n/2)$ Springer varieties. We extend Khovanov's…

The modular data of a modular category $\mathcal{C}$, consisting of the $S$-matrix and the $T$-matrix, is known to be an incomplete invariant of $\mathcal{C}$. More generally, the invariants of framed links and knots defined by a modular…

The purpose of this paper is to construct and study equivariant Khovanov homology - a version of Khovanov homology theory for periodic links. Since our construction works regardless of the characteristic of the coefficient ring it…

In this paper we develop a braid theoretic approach for computing the Kauffman bracket skein module of the lens spaces $L(p,q)$, KBSM($L(p,q)$), for $q\neq 0$. For doing this, we introduce a new concept, that of an {\it unoriented braid}.…

We provide an explicit construction of skew cell modules for diagram algebras.

Working in a polynomial ring $S=\mathbf{k}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ where $\mathbf{k}$ is an arbitrary commutative ring with $1$, we consider the $d^{th}$ Veronese subalgebras $R=S^{(d)}$, as well as natural $R$-submodules $M=S^{(\geq r, d)}$…

Modular categories are a well-known source of quantum 3-manifold invariants. In this paper we study structures on modular categories which allow to define refinements of quantum 3-manifold invariants involving cohomology classes or…

We introduce and study an affine analogue of skew Young diagrams and tableaux on them. It turns out that the double affine Hecke algebra of type $A$ acts on the space spanned by standard tableaux on each diagram. It is shown that the…

We construct admissible polynomial meshes on piecewise polynomial or trigonometric curves of the complex plane, by mapping univariate Chebyshev points. Such meshes can be used for polynomial least-squares, for the extraction of Fekete-like…

We introduce two vertex operators to realize skew odd orthogonal characters $so_{\lambda/\mu}(x^{\pm})$ and derive the Cauchy identity for the skew characters via Toeplitz-Hankel-type determinant similar to the Schur functions. The method…

We construct an sl(2)-action on the equivariant skein lasagna module.

We consider symmetric (under the action of products of finite symmetric groups) real algebraic varieties and semi-algebraic sets, as well as symmetric complex varieties in affine and projective spaces, defined by polynomials of degrees…

We study the algebraic features of covariant tensors of valence four containing two blocks of skew indices. After a rather general treatment, we specialize ourselves to four-dimensional spacetimes and discuss several complementary aspects…

For a fixed 2-block Springer fiber, we describe the structure of its irreducible components and their relation to the Bialynicki-Birula paving, following work of Fung. That is, we consider the space of complete flags in C^n preserved by a…

In this article we study modules endowed with a ultrametric, from the point of view of the geometric notion $C$-minimality. We give a complete characterization of $C$-minimal valued modules over non-commutative rings of skew polynomials of…

We show how a novel construction of the sheaf of Cherednik algebras on a quotient orbifold Y=X/G by virtue of formal geometry in author's prior work leads to results for the sheaf of Cherednik algebra which until recently were viewed as…
