The minimal resolution of the degree four cyclic cover of the plane branched along a GIT stable quartic is a K3 surface with a non symplectic action of Z_4. In this paper we study the geometry of the one dimensional family of K3 surfaces…

The finite-dimensional symmetric algebras over an algebraically closed field, based on surface triangulations, motivated by the theory of cluster algebras, have been extensively investigated and applied. In particular, the weighted surface…

We construct and study cluster algebra structures in rings of invariants of the special linear group action on collections of three-dimensional vectors, covectors, and matrices. The construction uses Kuperberg's calculus of webs on marked…

Let $L$ be a oriented link such that $\Sigma_n(L)$, the $n$-fold cyclic cover of $S^3$ branched over $L$, is an L-space for some $n \geq 2$. We show that if either $L$ is a strongly quasipositive link other than one with Alexander…

We develop a theory of stated SL(n)-skein modules, $S_n(M,N),$ of 3-manifolds $M$ marked with intervals $N$ in their boundaries. They consist of linear combinations of $n$-webs with ends in $N$, considered up to skein relations inspired by…

Recently, Korkmaz established the lower bound of $3g - 2$ for the dimension of a faithful representation of the mapping class group of an orientable surface of genus $g \ge 3$. We raise this bound to $4g - 3$ in the setting of surfaces of…

We introduce a new link invariant called the algebraic genus, which gives an upper bound for the topological slice genus of links. In fact, the algebraic genus is an upper bound for another version of the slice genus proposed here: the…

We view all smooth metrics $g$ on a closed surface $\Sigma$ through their Nash isometric embeddings $f_g: (\Sigma,g) \rightarrow (\mathbb{S}^{\tilde{n}}, \tilde{g})$ into a standard sphere of large, but fixed, dimension $\tilde{n}$. We…

Let $g$ be a non-negative integer, $\Sigma _g$ a closed orientable surface of genus $g$, and $\mathcal{M}_g$ its mapping class group. We classify all the group homomorphisms $\pi _1(\Sigma _g)\to G$ up to the action of $\mathcal{M}_g$ on…

We continue to study the unbounded $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-laminations [IK22], with a focus on their structures at punctures. A key ingredient is their relation to the root data of $\mathfrak{sl}_3$. After giving a classification of signed…

Let $\Sigma_g$ be a closed Riemann surface of genus $g$. Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of the automorphism group of $\Sigma_g$. It is well known that there exists a smooth $G$-equivariant embedding from $\Sigma_g$ to some Euclidean space…

Fock-Goncharov's moduli spaces $\mathscr{X}_{{\rm PGL}_3,\frak{S}}$ of framed ${\rm PGL}_3$-local systems on punctured surfaces $\frak{S}$ provide prominent examples of cluster $\mathscr{X}$-varieties and higher Teichm\"uller spaces. In a…

Motivated by the M-diagrams defined by Tymoczko, we show that these locally non-crossing $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-webs form a basis of the Specht module for the partition $(n,n,n)$. They further admit a unitriangular base change to both the…

We classify homomorphisms from the braid group on $n$ strands to the pure mapping class group of a nonoriantable surface of genus $g$. For $n\ge 14$ and $g\le 2\lfloor{n/2}\rfloor+1$ every such homomorphism is either cyclic, or it maps…
