We study all possible deformations of the Maxwell algebra. In D=d+1\neq 3 dimensions there is only one-parameter deformation. The deformed algebra is isomorphic to so(d+1,1)\oplus so(d,1) or to so(d,2)\oplus so(d,1) depending on the signs…
We consider $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes which can be PL embedded in the $2d$-dimensional euclidean space. In short, we show that in any such complex, for any three vertices, the intersection of the link-complexes of the vertices is…
We introduce a new ``Winding Number Conjecture'' about maps from the $(d-1)$-skeleton of the $((d+1)(q-1))$-simplex into $\real^d$. This conjecture is equivalent to the Topological Tverberg Theorem. Furthermore, many statements about the…
The purpose of this paper is to provide a new account of multiplicity for finite morphisms between smooth projective varieties. Traditionally, this has been defined using commutative algebra in terms of the length of integral ring…
The divergence map, an important ingredient in the algebraic description of the Turaev cobracket on a connected oriented compact surface with boundary, is reformulated in the context of non-commutative geometry using a flat connection on…
We recursively compute the Gromov-Witten invariants of the Hilbert scheme of two points in the plane. By studying the space of stable maps and computing virtual contributions, we use these invariants to enumerate hyperelliptic plane curves…
Let $C$ be a curve defined over a number field $k$. We say a closed point $x\in C$ of degree $d$ is isolated if it does not belong to an infinite family of degree $d$ points parametrized by the projective line or a positive rank abelian…
Vassiliev invariants can be studied by studying the spaces of chord diagrams associated with singular knots. To these chord diagrams are associated the intersection graphs of the chords. We extend results of Chmutov, Duzhin and Lando to…
We define a variant of intersection space theory that applies to many compact complex and real analytic spaces $X$, including all complex projective varieties; this is a significant extension to a theory which has so far only been shown to…
In this article, we obtain an asymptotic expansion formula for the relative Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant in the case that the ambient 3-manifold is gained by doing rational surgery along one component of Whitehead link. In addition, we…
New obstructions for embedding one compact oriented 3-manifold in another are given. A theorem of D. Krebes concerning 4-tangles embedded in links arises as a special case. Algebraic and skein-theoretic generalizations for 2n-tangles…
Attached to a vertex algebra $\mathcal{V}$ are two geometric objects. The associated scheme of $\mathcal{V}$ is the spectrum of Zhu's Poisson algebra $R_{\mathcal{V}}$. The singular support of $\mathcal{V}$ is the spectrum of the associated…
The writhe polynomial is a fundamental invariant of an oriented virtual knot. We introduce a kind of local moves for oriented virtual knots called shell moves. The first aim of this paper is to prove that two oriented virtual knots have the…
In this paper we show that the space of nodal rational curves, which is so called a Severi variety (of rational curves), on any non-singular projective surface is always equipped with a natural Einstein-Weyl structure, if the space is…
In this paper we classify, up to rigid isotopy, non-singular real rational curves of degrees less than or equal to 6 in a quadric homeomorphic to the 3-sphere. We also study their connections with rigid isotopy classes of real rational…
We introduce a new version of 3d mirror symmetry for toric stacks, inspired by a 3d $\mathcal{N} = 2$ abelian mirror symmetry construction in physics. Given some toric data, we introduce the $K$-theoretic $I$-function with effective level…
We give necessary conditions on the invariants (d,g) of a smooth, integral curve self-linked by a complete intersection of type (a,b) in projective three space. Similar conditions are given for s.t.c.i. curves with a multiplicity three…
Pulling back the weight system associated with the spinor representation of the Lie algebra so(7) by the universal Vassiliev-Kontsevich invariant yields a numerical link invariant with values in formal power series. Computing some skein…
We introduce new topological quantum invariants of compact oriented 3-manifolds with boundary where the boundary is a disjoint union of two identical surfaces. The invariants are constructed via surgery on manifolds of the form $F \times I$…
A projective non-singular plane algebraic curve of degree d<=4 is called maximally symmetric if it attains the maximum order of the automorphism groups for complex non-singular plane algebraic curves of degree d. For d<=7, all such curves…
