This survey of some of the more topological aspects of the placement problem for complex curves in complex surfaces was originally published in L'Enseignement Mathematique 29 (1983). The present LaTeXed redaction corrects several…

This article was originally published in Topology 31 (1992). The present hyperTeXed redaction corrects a few typographical errors and updates the references.

This text consists of the introduction, table of contents, and bibliography of a long manuscript (703 pages) that is currently submitted for publication. This manuscript develops an extension of Garside's approach to braid groups and…

We give a corrected version of Corollary 3.33 in: H. Flenner, S. Kaliman, and M. Zaidenberg, Birational transformations of weighted graphs. Affine algebraic geometry. Osaka Univ. Press, 2007, 107-147.

In this note we correct two errors in our paper "On the Homology of Completion and Torsion", arXiv:1010.4386, that appeared in Algebras and Representation Theory (2014).

This is the typewritten version of a handwritten manuscript which was completed by Ian G. Macdonald in 1987 or 1988. The manuscript is a very informal working paper, never intended for formal publication. Nevertheless, copies of the…

The contents of this 6-page paper have been subsumed into the 13-page paper, "A note on closed 3-braids", arXiv:0802.1072 [math.GT]. This paper is correct, but contains less information than the new one. The topological classification of…

This is the author's PhD-thesis, which was written in 2006. The version posted here is identical to the printed one. Instead of an abstract, the short list of contents: Preface 5 1 Introduction 9 2 K-theory and cyclic type homology theories…

Generalizing work of Marin [12], we construct in a unified way all the "braids and ties'' algebras available in literature and new ones.

This paper provides some background to the theory of operads, used in the first author's papers on 2d topological field theory (hep-th/921204, CMP 159 (1994), 265-285; hep-th/9305013). It is intended for specialists.

The chapter provides an introduction to the basic concepts of Algebraic Topology with an emphasis on motivation from applications in the physical sciences. It finishes with a brief review of computational work in algebraic topology,…

We refine and advance the study of the local structure of idempotent finite algebras started in [A.Bulatov, The Graph of a Relational Structure and Constraint Satisfaction Problems, LICS, 2004]. We introduce a graph-like structure on an…

Extensive rewrite. Tables and proofs have been reformatted and/or rewritten for clarity.

A long-term research proposal on the algebraic structure, the representations and the possible applications of paraparticle algebras is structured in three modules: The first part stems from an attempt to classify the inequivalent gradings…

There were some errors in paper hep-th/9303018 in formulas 6.1, 6.6, 6.8, 6.11. These errors have been corrected in the present version of this paper. There are also some minor changes in the introduction.

This is the typewritten version of a handwritten manuscript which was completed by Ian G. Macdonald in 1987 or 1988. It is the sequel to the manuscript "Hypergeometric functions I." The two manuscripts are very informal working papers,…

Ich m\"ochte in diesem Bericht algorithmische Methoden vorstellen, die im wesentlichen in diesem Jahrzehnt Einzug in die Computeralgebra gefunden haben. Die haupts\"achlichen Ideen gehen auf Stanley \cite{Sta} und Zeilberger…

Algebraically constructible functions connect real algebra with the topology of algebraic sets. In this survey we present some history, definitions, properties, and algebraic characterizations of algebraically constructible functions, and a…

This article will appear in the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics (Elsevier, 2006).

An improved (streamlined and extended) version of this paper is available as math.RA/0203010, which however omits some details. We recommend the later version unless details are essential.
