In this note, we study Schwarz's conjecture on application of Q-algebras to strict quantization. We prove that in the case of a torus with a constant Poisson structure, Schwarz's formalism gives the same star product as Rieffel…
Curve singularities are classical objects of study in algebraic geometry. The key player in their combinatorial structure is the {\it value semigroup}, or its compactification, the {\it value semiring}. One natural problem is to explicitly…
We introduce a new quantized enveloping superalgebra $\mathfrak{U}_q{\mathfrak{p}}_n$ attached to the Lie superalgebra ${\mathfrak{p}}_n$ of type $P$. The superalgebra $\mathfrak{U}_q{\mathfrak{p}}_n$ is a quantization of a Lie…
We introduce a conjecture on homological mirror symmetry relating the symplectic topology of the complement of a smooth ample divisor in a K3 surface to algebraic geometry of type III degenerations, and prove it when the degree of the…
For a smooth semi-projective toric Calabi-Yau 3-fold containing no compact surface, we show the count of all-genus holomorphic curves with boundary on a single Aganagic-Vafa brane is annihilated by a skein-valued quantization of the mirror…
The rational Chow ring A?(S[n],Q) of the Hilbert scheme S[n] parametrising the length n zero-dimensional subschemes of a toric surface S can be described with the help of equivariant techniques. In this paper, we explain the general method…
For each Frobenius algebra there is defined a skein module of surfaces embedded in a given 3-manifold and bounding a prescribed curve system in the boundary. The skein relations are local and generate the kernel of a certain natural…
We generalize the quantum duality map $\mathbb{I}_{\mathcal{A}}$ of Allegretti--Kim [AK17] for punctured closed surfaces to general marked surfaces. When the marked surface has no interior marked points, we investigate its compatibility…
The $SU_3$-skein algebra of a surface $F$ is spanned by isotopy classes of certain framed graphs in $F\times I$ called $3$-webs subject to the skein relations encapsulating relations between $U_q(sl(3))$-representations. These skein…
We construct two bases for each cluster algebra coming from a triangulated surface without punctures. We work in the context of a coefficient system coming from a full-rank exchange matrix, for example, principal coefficients.
We calculate the virtually-cyclic dimension of the mapping class group of a sphere with at most six punctures. As an immediate consequence, we obtain the virtually-cyclic dimension of the mapping class group of the twice-holed torus and of…
This paper is partly a report on current knowledge concerning the structure of (generic) quantized coordinate rings and their prime spectra, and partly propaganda in support of the conjecture that since these algebras share many common…
We apply the geometric quantization method with real polarizations to the quantization of a symplectic torus. By quantizing with half-densities we canonically associate to the symplectic torus a projective Hilbert space and prove that the…
We determine the structure of the Kauffman bracket skein module of the connected sum of two genus one handlebodies over the ring of Laurent polynomials $\mathbb Z[q^{\pm 1}]$, thereby proving a conjecture posed by the first and third…
We give two proofs that appropriately defined congruence subgroups of the mapping class group of a surface with punctures/boundary have enormous amounts of rational cohomology in their virtual cohomological dimension. In particular we give…
We construct a graded cluster algebra structure on the Cox ring of a smooth complex variety $Z$, depending on a base cluster structure on the ring of regular functions of an open subset $Y$ of $Z$. After considering some elementary examples…
The Kauffman bracket skein module $S(M)$ of a 3-manifold $M$ is a $\mathbb{Q}(A)$-vector space spanned by links in $M$ modulo the so-called Kauffman relations. In this article, for any closed oriented surface $\Sigma$ we provide an explicit…
Given an ordered sequence of $N$-choose-2 integers, we give necessary and sufficient conditions to have an ordered collection of $N$ simple closed curves on a torus such that the algebraic pairwise intersections of those curves are the…
We consider surfaces of geometric genus $3$ with the property that their transcendental cohomology splits into $3$ pieces, each piece coming from a $K3$ surface. For certain families of surfaces with this property, we can show there is a…
The geometric quantization of a symplectic manifold endowed with a prequantum bundle and a metaplectic structure is defined by means of an integrable complex structure. We prove that its semi-classical limit does not depend on the choice of…
