We set the foundations of a theory of Grothendieck $(\infty,2)$-topoi based on the notion of fibrational descent, which axiomatizes both the existence of a classifying object for fibrations internal to an $(\infty,2)$-category as well as…
This note supplements our paper "Induced nets and Hamiltonicity of claw-free graphs", by giving the detailed proof that were omitted in it.
We consider Wilson loop observables for Chern-Simons theory at large N and its topological string dual and extend the previous checks for this duality to the case of links. We find an interesting structure involving representation/spin…
We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…
We use a link invariant defined by Cimasoni-Florens to compute \rho-invariants. This generalizes results of Cochran-Teichner and Friedl on knots to the setting of links. As an application, we prove with only twelve possible exceptions that…
S. Satoh has defined a construction to obtain a ribbon torus knot given a welded knot. This construction is known to be surjective. We show that it is not injective. Using the invariant of the peripheral structure, it is possible to provide…
We prove a non-integrability result concerning iterative derivations on projective line, where the iterative rule is given by a non-algebraic formal group.
We comment on the paper "Extremal Cayley digraphs of finite Abelian groups" [Intercon. Networks 12 (2011), no. 1-2, 125--135]. In particular, we give some counterexamples to the results presented there, and provide a correct result for…
We consider the involutions known as "toggles," which have been used to give simplified proofs of the fundamental properties of the promotion and evacuation maps. We transfer these involutions so that they generate a group $\mathscr P_n$…
If a complex $X$ is a subcomplex of a diagrammatically reducible 2-complex $Y$ that has locally indicable fundamental group, then $X$ has locally indicable fundamental group. This is a consequence of the Corson-Trace characterization of…
Given a two-variable function $f$ without critical points and a compact region $R$ bounded by two level curves of $f$, this note proves that the integral over $R$ of the second-order directional derivative of $f$ in the tangential…
It has been pointed out to the author by David Glickenstein that the proof of the (closely related) Lemmas 1.2 and 3.2 in the title paper is incorrect. The statements of both Lemmas are correct, and the purpose of this note is to give a…
We prove that the Jacquet restriction functor for a parabolic subgroup of a reductive group over a non-Archimedean local field is right adjoint to the parabolic induction functor for the opposite parabolic subgroup, in the generality of…
In classical knot theory, Markov's theorem gives a way of describing all braids with isotopic closures as links in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We present a version of Markov's theorem for extended loop braids with closure in $B^3 \times S^1$, as a…
In part I we introduced the class ${\mathcal E}_2$ of Lie subgroups of $Sp(2,\R)$ and obtained a classification up to conjugation (Theorem 1.1). Here, we determine for which of these groups the restriction of the metaplectic representation…
We discuss how to apply work of L. Rudolph to braid conjugacy class invariants to obtain potentially effective obstructions to a slice knot being ribbon. We then apply these ideas to a family of braid conjugacy class invariants coming from…
The proof of Lemma 5.1 in the paper Strong $\mathbb A^1$-invariance of $\mathbb A^1$-connected components of reductive algebraic groups (J. Topol. 16 (2023), no. 2, 634--649) is incomplete as it relies on some results of Choudhury-Hagadi,…
I adapt a recently introduced method for integrating over the unitary group (S. Aubert and C.S. Lam, J.Math.Phys. 44, 6112-6131 (2003)) to the orthogonal group. I derive explicit formulas for a number of one, two and three-vector integrals,…
An argument of Y. Nikonorov completes the proof of Theorem 2.5 in "Bounded Isometries and Homogeneous Quotients", JGA 27 (2017), 56--64 [arXiv:1502.04276].
Two typos in the published paper are pointed out. Both are just typos and the calculations in that paper are based on the correct formulism.
