This article tackles categorical coherence within a two-dimensional generalization of Lawvere's functorial semantics. 2-theories, a syntactical way of describing categories with structure, are presented. From the perspective here afforded,…
We define discrete Hamiltonian systems in the framework of discrete embeddings. An explicit comparison with previous attempts is given. We then solve the discrete Helmholtz's inverse problem for the discrete calculus of variation in the…
Categorical symplectic geometry is the study of a rich collection of invariants of symplectic manifolds, including the Fukaya $A_\infty$-category, Floer cohomology, and symplectic cohomology. Beginning with work of Wehrheim and Woodward in…
We analyse the growth coefficients of infinite frieze patterns arising from cluster algebras using cluster modular groups and cluster categories. For a fixed cluster category of affine type, we prove that the collection of infinite frieze…
The notion of a $(k,n)$-frieze pattern was introduced by the author as a generalisation of the classical frieze patterns. In this article we describe connections between classes of $(3,n)$-frieze patterns and classes of…
In this article, we construct SL$_k$-friezes using Pl\"ucker coordinates, making use of the cluster structure on the homogeneous coordinate ring of the Grassmannian of $k$-spaces in $n$-space via the Pl\"ucker embedding. When this cluster…
We study the symplectic geometry of the SU(2)-representation variety of the compact oriented surface of genus 2. We use the Goldman flows to identify subsets of the moduli space with corresponding subsets of $\mathbb P^3(\mathbb C)$. We…
We explore various aspects of 2-form topological gauge theories in (3+1)d. These theories can be constructed as sigma models with target space the second classifying space $B^2G$ of the symmetry group $G$, and they are classified by…
In categorified symplectic geometry, one studies the categorified algebraic and geometric structures that naturally arise on manifolds equipped with a closed nondegenerate (n+1)-form. The case relevant to classical string theory is when n=2…
Taking a representation-theoretic viewpoint, we construct a continuous associahedron motivated by the realization of the generalized associahedron in the physical setting. We show that our associahedron shares important properties with the…
Area-preserving diffeomorphisms of a 2-disc can be regarded as time-1 maps of (non-autonomous) Hamiltonian flows on solid tori, periodic flow-lines of which define braid (conjugacy) classes, up to full twists. We examine the dynamics…
We propose a notion of discrete elastic and area-constrained elastic curves in 2-dimensional space forms. Our definition extends the well-known discrete Euclidean curvature equation to space forms and reflects various geometric properties…
By viewing $\tilde{A}$ and $\tilde{D}$ type cluster algebras as triangulated surfaces, we find all cluster variables in terms of either (i) the frieze pattern (or bipartite belt) or (ii) the periodic quantities previously found for the…
We show several properties related to the structure of the family of classes of two-dimensional periodic continued fractions. This approach to the study of the family of classes of nonequivalent two dimexsional periodic continued fractions…
The entries of frieze patterns may be interpreted as coordinates of roots of a finite Weyl groupoid of rank two. We prove the existence of maximal elements in their root posets and classify those frieze patterns which can be used to build…
The paper continues the discussion of symplectic aspects of Picard-Lefschetz theory begun in "Vanishing cycles and mutation" (this archive). There we explained how to associate to a suitable fibration over a two-dimensional disc a…
This work is devoted to study new bialgebra structures related to 2-associative algebras. A 2-associative algebra is a vector space equipped with two associative multiplications. We discuss the notions of 2-associative bialgebras,…
Internal preneighbourhood spaces inside any finitely complete category with finite coproducts and proper factorisation structure were first introduced in my earlier paper. This paper proposes a closure operation on internal preneighbourhood…
We put forward several general conjectures concerning the algebraicity or transcendence of continued fractions and Stieltjes continued fractions defined by the Thue-Morse and period-doubling sequences in characteristic $2$. We present our…
In this paper we develop a new geometric approach to subtractive continued fraction algorithms in high dimensions. We adapt a version of Farey summation to the geometric techniques proposed by F. Klein in 1895. More specifically we…
