We prove that if $\Sigma$ is a closed surface of genus at least 3 and $G$ is a split real semisimple Lie group of rank at least $3$ acting faithfully by isometries on a symmetric space $N$, then there exists a Hitchin representation…

We propose a skein model for the quantum cluster algebras of surface type with coefficients. We introduce a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\Sigma,\mathbb{W}}^{A}$ of a walled surface $(\Sigma,\mathbb{W})$, and prove that it has a quantum…

Let $\Sigma_g$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $g$, in this paper we discuss how to define coloring invariants and its generalizations for links in $\Sigma_g\times S^1$.

Let $\beta:=\sigma_1\sigma_2^{-1}$ be a braid in $B_3$, where $B_3$ is the braid group on 3 strings and $\sigma_1, \sigma_2$ are the standard Artin generators. We use Gauss diagram formulas to show that for each natural number $n$ not…

We describe the mapping class group action on the cohomology of the twisted $\mathrm{SL}_n$-character variety of a surface $\Sigma_g$ of genus $g$. Our main tool is a relative version of the endoscopic decomposition of Maulik-Shen; this…

This paper is focused on the structure of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a punctured surface at roots of unity. A criterion that determines when a collection of skeins forms a basis of the skein algebra as an extension over the…

Webs are planar graphs with boundary that describe morphisms in a diagrammatic representation category for $\mathfrak{sl}_k$. They are studied extensively by knot theorists because braiding maps provide a categorical way to express link…

We introduce a compact moduli scheme of marked noncommutative cubic surfaces as the GIT moduli scheme of relations of a quiver associated with a full strong exceptional collection on a cubic surface. It is a toric variety containing the…

The ${\rm SL}_n$-skein algebra of a punctured surface $\mathfrak{S}$, studied by Sikora, is an algebra generated by isotopy classes of $n$-webs living in the thickened surface $\mathfrak{S} \times (-1,1)$, where an $n$-web is a union of…

Generalizing the work of Fock--Goncharov on rational unbounded laminations, we give a geometric model of the tropical points of the cluster variety $\mathcal{X}_{\mathfrak{sl}_3,\Sigma}$, which we call unbounded…

We describe, for a few small examples, the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a surface crossed with an interval. If the surface is a punctured torus the result is a quantization of the symmetric algebra in three variables (and an algebra…

In this paper we partially settle Fock-Goncharov's duality conjecture for cluster varieties associated to their moduli spaces of ${\rm G}$-local systems on a punctured surface $\frak{S}$ with boundary data, when ${\rm G}$ is a group of type…

We describe the $\mathfrak sl_3$ non-elliptic webs in terms of convex sets in the affine building. Kuperberg defined the non-elliptic web basis in his work on rank-$2$ spider categories. Fontaine, Kamnitzer, Kuperberg showed that the…

Let $S_g$ be a closed orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $\mathcal{T}_g$ be the Teichm\"uller space of $S_g$. Let $\mathcal{H}_g$ denotes the space of all hyperelliptic surfaces of genus $g$. For $g\geq 3$, we have proved that…

This paper gives insight into intriguing connections between two apparently unrelated theories: the theory of skein modules of 3-manifolds and the theory of representations of groups into special linear groups of 2 by 2 matrices. Let R be a…

Let $B\subset \mathbb{P}^3$ be an slc quartic surface. The existence of an embedding $\mathbb{G}_m^3\hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^3\setminus B$ implies that $B$ has coregularity zero. In this article, we initiate the classification of…

Based on some analogies with the Hodge theory of isolated hypersurface singularities, we define Hodge-type numerical invariants (called H-numbers) of any, not necessarily algebraic, link in $S^3$. They contain the same information as the…

A {\em $1-$vertex triangulation} of an oriented compact surface $S$ of genus $g$ is an embedded graph $T\subset S$ with a unique vertex such that all connected components of $S\setminus T$ are triangles (adjacent to exactly 3 edges of $T$).…

given two minimal surfaces embedded in $\S3$ of genus $g$ we prove the existence of a sequence of non-congruent compact minimal surfaces embedded in $\S3$ of genus $g$ that converges in $C^{2,\alpha}$ to a compact embedded minimal surface…

This is a continuation of our paper math.AG/0111298. We prove an explicit formula for the geometric genus p_g of a quasihomogeneous isolated surface singularity in terms of the Seiberg-Witten invariant of the link and other topological data…
