Knot theory is an active field of mathematics, in which combinatorial and computational methods play an important role. One side of computational knot theory, that has gained interest in recent years, both for complexity analysis and…
A matrix formalism is proposed for computations based on Picard--Lefschetz theory in a 2D case. The formalism is essentially equivalent to the computation of the intersection indices necessary for the Picard--Lefschetz formula and enables…
In this paper, we describe the irreducible representations and give a dimension formula for the Framisation of the Temperley-Lieb algebra. We then prove that the Framisation of the Temperley-Lieb algebra is isomorphic to a direct sum of…
The complement of a hyperplane arrangement in $\mathbb{C}^n$ deformation retracts onto an $n$-dimensional cell complex, but the known procedures only apply to complexifications of real arrangements (Salvetti) or the cell complex produced…
Given a lattice $\Lambda$ in a locally compact abelian group $G$ and a measurable subset $\Omega$ with finite and positive measure, then the set of characters associated to the dual lattice form a frame for $L^2(\Omega)$ if and only if the…
We study the twisted knot module for the universal deformation of an ${\rm SL}_2$-representation of a knot group, and introduce an associated $L$-function, which may be seen as an analogue of the algebraic $p$-adic $L$-function associated…
Unitary representations of the Temperley-Lieb algebra $TL_N(Q)$ on the tensor space $({\mathbb C^n})^{\otimes N}$ are considered. Two criteria are given for determining when an orthogonal projection matrix $P$ of a rank $r$ gives rise to…
Let F* be the field of q elements and let P(n,q) denote the projective space of dimension n-1 over F*. We construct a family H^{n}_{k,i} of combinatorial homology modules associated to P(n,q) for a coefficient field F of positive…
The necklace braid group $\mathcal{NB}_n$ is the motion group of the $n+1$ component necklace link $\mathcal{L}_n$ in Euclidean $\mathbb{R}^3$. Here $\mathcal{L}_n$ consists of $n$ pairwise unlinked Euclidean circles each linked to an…
We give a new and conceptually straightforward proof of the well-known presentation for the Temperley-Lieb algebra, via an alternative new presentation. Our method involves twisted semigroup algebras, and we make use of two apparently new…
We construct reflection functors for quiver Hecke algebras associated with arbitrary symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras, from a higher representation-theoretic viewpoint. These functors provide a categorification of Lusztig's braid group…
The article is devoted to the question whether the orbit space of a compact linear group is a topological manifold and a homological manifold. In the paper, the case of a simple three-dimensional group is considered. An upper bound is…
We provide a homological model for a family of quantum representations of mapping class groups arising from non-semisimple TQFTs (Topological Quantum Field Theories). Our approach gives a new geometric point of view on these…
The symmetries provided by representations of the centrally extended Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{psl}(2|2)$ are known to play an important role in the spin chain models originated in the planar anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory…
Given a homotopy Lie algebra (i.e. an $L_\infty$-algebra) $\mathfrak{g}$, we show concretely how the Lada-Markl $\mathfrak{g}$-modules (i.e. representations) assemble into a symmetric monoidal dg-category. Considering the homotopy…
In this thesis, I present an associative diagram algebra that is a faithful representation of a particular Temperley--Lieb algebra of type affine $C$, which has a basis indexed by the fully commutative elements of the Coxeter group of the…
In a previous work (arXiv:0806.1503v2), we defined a family of subcomplexes of the $n$-dimensional half cube by removing the interiors of all half cube shaped faces of dimension at least $k$, and we proved that the homology of such a…
We study the derived tensor product of the representation rings of subgroups of a given compact Lie group G. That is, given two such subgroups H_1 and H_2, we study the tensor product of the associated representation rings R(H_1) and R(H_2)…
This expository paper is based on the lectures given at the program `Modular Representation Theory of Finite and $p$-adic Groups' at the National University of Singapore. We are concerned with recent results on representation theory and…
Entanglement transformation of composite quantum systems is investigated in the context of group representation theory. Representation of the direct product group $SL(2,C)\otimes SL(2,C)$, composed of local operators acting on the binary…
