We construct a representation of the braid groups in a cluster C*-algebra coming from a triangulation of the Riemann surface S with one or two cusps. It is shown that the Laurent polynomials attached to the K-theory of such an algebra are…

The Links-Quivers Correspondence predicts that the generating function for the symmetric (or antisymmetric) colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials for links can be put in a "quiver form," so that the generating function is expressed in terms of a…

We explain how Queffelec-Sartori's construction of the HOMFLY-PT link polynomial can be interpreted in terms of parabolic Verma modules for $\mathfrak{gl}_{2n}$. Lifting the construction to the world of categorification, we use parabolic…

We construct new knot polynomials. Let $V$ be the standard solid torus in 3-space and let $pr$ be its standard projection onto an annulus. Let $M$ be the space of all smooth oriented knots in $V$ such that the restriction of $pr$ is an…

We present a new conjectural symmetry of the colored Alexander polynomial, that is the specialization of the quantum $\mathfrak{sl}_N$ invariant widely known as the colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial. We provide arguments in support of the…

We compute the reduced version of Khovanov and Rozansky's sl(N) homology for two-bridge knots and links. The answer is expressed in terms of the HOMFLY polynomial and signature.

Let $E_{k}^{F}(D)$ be the spectral sequence induced by the oriented cube of resolutions on knot Floer homology. We prove that $E_{2}^{F}(D)$ is a triply graded link invariant whose graded Euler characteristic is the HOMFLY-PT polynomial and…

The intersection of a complex plane curve with a small three-sphere surrounding one of its singularities is a non-trivial link. The refined punctual Hilbert schemes of the singularity parameterize subschemes supported at the singular point…

Commutative sets of Jucys-Murphyelements for affine braid groups of $A^{(1)},B^{(1)},C^{(1)},D^{(1)}$ types were defined. Construction of $R$-matrix representations of the affine braid group of type $C^{(1)}$ and its distinguish commutative…

Ozsvath and Szabo gave a combinatorial description of knot Floer homology based on a cube of resolutions, which uses maps with twisted coefficients. We study the t=1 specialization of their construction. The associated spectral sequence…

We prove that the degree of the Hilbert polynomial of the HOMFLYPT homology of a closed braid $B$ is $l-1$, where $l$ is the number of components of $B$. This controls the growth of the HOMFLYPT homology with respect to its polynomial…

As a new step in the study of rectangularly-colored knot polynomials, we reformulate the prescription of arXiv:1606.06015 for twist knots in the double-column representations $R=[rr]$ in terms of skew Schur polynomials. These, however, are…

We study 1-parameter families of holomorphic curves with Lagrangian boundary in Calabi-Yau 3-folds. We show that the expected codimension one phenomena can be organized to match the HOMFLYPT skein relations from quantum topology. It follows…

Matrix-valued holomorphic quantum modular forms are intricate objects that arise in successive refinements of the Volume Conjecture of knots and involve three holomorphic, asymptotic and arithmetic objects. It is expected that the algebraic…

By now it is well established that the quantum dimensions of descendants of the adjoint representation can be described in a universal form, independent of a particular family of simple Lie algebras. The Rosso-Jones formula then implies a…

It is known that knot homologies admit a physical description as spaces of open BPS states. We study operators and algebras acting on these spaces. This leads to a very rich story, which involves wall crossing phenomena, algebras of closed…

For a ring $R$, we denote by $R[\mathcal L]$ the free $R$-module spanned by the isotopy classes of singular links in $\mathbb S^3$. Given two invertible elements $x,t \in R$, the HOMFLY-PT skein module of singular links in $\mathbb S^3$…

In \cite{GZ}, Gilmer and Zhong established the existence of an invariant for links in $S^1\times S^2$ which is a rational function in variables $a$ and $s$ and satisfies the HOMFLY-PT skein relations. We give formulas for evaluating this…

We present a universal knot polynomials for 2- and 3-strand torus knots in adjoint representation, by universalization of appropriate Rosso-Jones formula. According to universality, these polynomials coincide with adjoined colored HOMFLY…

We consider complements of standard Seifert surfaces of special alternating links. On these handlebodies, we use Honda's method to enumerate those tight contact structures whose dividing sets are isotopic to the link, and find their number…
