There exists a simplified Bar-Natan Khovanov complex for open 2-braids. The Khovanov cohomology of a knot diagram made by gluing tangles of this type is therefore often amenable to calculation. We lift this idea to the level of the…
Let $C$ be a simply laced generalized Cartan matrix. Given an element $b$ of the generalized braid semigroup related to $C$, we construct a collection of mutation-equivalent quivers with potentials. A quiver with potential in such a…
A link L in the 3-sphere is called Brunnian if every proper sublink of L is trivial. In a previous paper, the first author proved that the restriction to Brunnian links of any Goussarov-Vassiliev finite type invariant of (n+1)-component…
A new algebraic cubature formula of degree $2n+1$ for the product Chebyshev measure in the $d$-cube with $\approx n^d/2^{d-1}$ nodes is established. The new formula is then applied to polynomial hyperinterpolation of degree $n$ in three…
We develop a new eigenvalue method for solving structured polynomial equations over any field. The equations are defined on a projective algebraic variety which admits a rational parameterization by a Khovanskii basis, e.g., a Grassmannian…
We define integral odd Khovanov homology of principally unimodular bipartite graph-links.
Chebyshev interpolation polynomials exhibit the exponential approximation property to analytic functions on a cube. Based on the Chebyshev interpolation polynomial approximation, we propose iterative polynomial approximation algorithms to…
The standard methods for calculating Khovanov homology rely either on long exact/spectral sequences or on the algorithmic "divide and conquer" approach developed by Bar-Natan. In this paper, we employ an alternative and arguably simpler…
We construct a 2-variable link polynomial, called $W_L$, for classical links by considering simultaneously the Kauffman state models for the Alexander and for the Jones polynomials. We conjecture that this polynomial is the product of two…
We introduce an invariant of tangles in Khovanov homology by considering a natural inverse system of Khovanov homology groups. As application, we derive an invariant of strongly invertible knots; this invariant takes the form of a graded…
Regular triangulations of products of lattice polytopes are constructed with the additional property that the dual graphs of the triangulations are bipartite. The (weighted) size difference of this bipartition is a lower bound for the…
Kutasov-Schwimmer (KS) dualities involve a rank-$2$ field with a polynomial superpotential. We derive KS-like dualities via deconfinement, that is assuming only Seiberg-like dualities, which instead just involve fundamental matter. Our…
The Harer-Zagier (HZ) transform maps the HOMFLY-PT polynomial into a rational function. For some special knots and links, the latter admits a simple factorised form, which is referred to as HZ factorisation. This property is preserved under…
The recently suggested bipartite analysis extends the Kauffman planar decomposition to arbitrary $N$, i.e. extends it from the Jones polynomial to the HOMFLY polynomial. This provides a generic and straightforward non-perturbative calculus…
Given any unoriented link diagram, a group of new knot invariants are constructed. Each of them satisfies a generalized 4 term skein relation. The coefficients of each invariant is from a commutative ring. Homomorphisms and representations…
We define Khovanov homology mod 2 for graph-links.
This thesis splits into two major parts. The connection between the two parts is the notion of "categorification" which we shortly explain/recall in the introduction. In the first part of this thesis we extend Bar-Natan's cobordism based…
In 2010, A. Shpilka and I. Volkovich established a prominent result on the equivalence of polynomial factorization and identity testing. It follows from their result that a multilinear polynomial over the finite field of order 2 can be…
Many standard conversion matrices between coefficients in classical orthogonal polynomial expansions can be decomposed using diagonally-scaled Hadamard products involving Toeplitz and Hankel matrices. This allows us to derive…
We show that the number of $k$-matching in a given undirected graph $G$ is equal to the number of perfect matching of the corresponding graph $G_k$ on an even number of vertices divided by a suitable factor. If $G$ is bipartite then one can…
