We propose a natural generalization of bipartite Werner and isotropic states to multipartite systems consisting of an arbitrary even number of d-dimensional subsystems (qudits). These generalized states are invariant under the action of…

An invariant of a model of genus one curve is a polynomial in the coefficients of the model that is stable under certain linear transformations. The classical example of an invariant is the discriminant, which characterizes the singularity…

This paper develops a theory of isolated hypersurface singularities in mixed characteristic $(0,p)$, focusing on quotient rings over a Discrete Valuation Ring (DVR). We introduce and study analogues of the classical Tjurina and Milnor…

Kasteleyn counted the number of domino tilings of a rectangle by considering a mutation of the adjacency matrix: a Kasteleyn matrix K. In this paper we present a generalization of Kasteleyn matrices and a combinatorial interpretation for…

For each integer $N\geq 2$, Mari\~no and Moore defined generalized Donaldson invariants by the methods of quantum field theory, and made predictions about the values of these invariants. Subsequently, Kronheimer gave a rigorous definition…

We prove that hypersurfaces defined by irreducible square-free polynomials have rational singularities. As an easy consequence, we deduce that certain (possibly non-square-free) polynomials associated to pairs of square-free polynomials…

In this paper, we construct quantum invariants for knotoid diagrams in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The diagrams are arranged with respect to a given direction in the plane ({\it Morse knotoids}). A Morse knotoid diagram can be decomposed into basic…

For $K$ an infinite field of characteristic other than two, consider the action of the special orthogonal group $\operatorname{SO}_t(K)$ on a polynomial ring via copies of the regular representation. When $K$ has characteristic zero,…

We generalize the classical study of Alexander polynomials of smooth or PL locally-flat knots to PL knots that are not necessarily locally-flat. We introduce three families of generalized Alexander polynomials and study their properties.…

We investigate the geometry of holomorphic curves and complex surfaces from the perspective of singularity theory. We show that, with a suitable choice of a complex bilinear symmetric form, the families of functions and mappings that…

We explore the codimension one strata in the degree-one cohomology jumping loci of a finitely generated group, through the prism of the multivariable Alexander polynomial. As an application, we give new criteria that must be satisfied by…

We obtain sufficient conditions for the vanishing of higher homotopy groups of the complements to hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb C}^n$ in terms of the behavior at infinity and relate the monodromy of non isolated singularities to the position…

Scalar relative invariants play an important role in the theory of group actions on a manifold as their zero sets are invariant hypersurfaces. Relative invariants are central in many applications, where they often are treated locally since…

We study "polync varieties", whose singularities are locally products of normal crossing (nc) singularities. We introduce the notion of d-semistability of such varieties, and generalize work of Friedman and Kawamata-Namikawa to address the…

This paper proves that the characteristic polynomial is a complete unitary invariant for pairs of projection matrices. Some special cases involving three or more projections are also considered.

Much of the fascinating numerology surrounding finite reflection groups stems from Solomon's celebrated 1963 theorem describing invariant differential forms. Invariant differential derivations also exhibit interesting numerology over the…

We define extensions of the $L^2$-analytic invariants of closed manifolds, called delocalized $L^2$-invariants. These delocalized invariants are constructed in terms of a nontrivial conjugacy class of the fundamental group. We show that in…

Normally one assumes isolated surface singularities to be normal. The purpose of this paper is to show that it can be useful to look at nonnormal singularities. By deforming them interesting normal singularities can be constructed, such as…

Let $M$ be a strictly convex smooth connected hypersurface in $\mathbb R^n$ and $\widehat{M}$ its convex hull. We say that $M$ is locally polynomially integrable if the $(n-1)-$ dimensional volumes of the sections of $\widehat M$ by…
