Let $V$ be a vertex algebra of countable dimension, $G$ a subgroup of ${\rm Aut} V$ of finite order, $V^{G}$ the fixed point subalgebra of $V$ under the action of $G$, and ${\mathscr S}$ a finite $G$-stable set of inequivalent irreducible…

The twin group $TW_n$ on $n$ strands is the group generated by $t_1, \dots, t_{n-1}$ with defining relations $t_i^2=1$, $t_it_j = t_jt_i$ if $|i-j|>1$. We find a new instance of semisimple Schur--Weyl duality for tensor powers of a natural…

A representation of $\mathfrak{gl}(V)=V \otimes V^*$ is a linear map $\mu \colon \mathfrak{gl}(V) \otimes M \to M$ satisfying a certain identity. By currying, giving a linear map $\mu$ is equivalent to giving a linear map $a \colon V…

Given a group $G$ and an integer $n\geq2$ we construct a new group $\tilde{{\cal K}}(G,n)$. Although this construction naturally occurs in the context of finding new invariants for complex algebraic surfaces, it is related to the theory of…

We study the effective superpotential of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories with a mass gap, whose analytic properties are encoded in an algebraic curve. We propose that the degree of the curve equals the number of semiclassical branches of…

We prove that any Bernstein algebra $(A, \omega)$ is isomorphic to a semidirect product $V \ltimes_{(\cdot, \, \Omega)} \, k$ associated to a commutative algebra $(V, \cdot)$ such that $(x^2)^2 = 0$, for all $x\in A$ and an idempotent…

We prove some Schur positivity results for the chromatic symmetric function $X_G$ of a (hyper)graph $G$, using connections to the group algebra of the symmetric group. The first such connection works for (hyper)forests $F$: we describe the…

Artin's braid group $B_n$ is generated by $\sigma_1, \dots, \sigma_{n-1}$ subject to the relations \[ \sigma_i \sigma_{i+1} \sigma_i = \sigma_{i+1} \sigma_i \sigma_{i+1}, \quad \sigma_i\sigma_j = \sigma_j \sigma_i \text{ if } |i-j|>1. \]…
