We construct a scalar invariant of flat principal 2-bundles over 3-manifolds, with structure 2-group $\mathcal{G}$, from an involutory Hopf algebra graded by $\mathcal{G}$. Expressing $\mathcal{G}$ in terms of a crossed module $\chi$ and…
A survey of some results and open questions related to the following algebraic invariants of compact complex manifolds, that can be obtained from differential forms: cohomology groups, Chern classes, rational homotopy groups, and higher…
In this note we present an approach using both constructive and Hopf algebraic methods to contribute to the not yet fully satisfactory definition of an integral on kappa-deformed spacetime. The integral presented here is based on the inner…
We propose a general theory of the Open Gromov-Witten invariant on Calabi-Yau three-folds. We introduce the moduli space of multi-curves and show how it leads to invariants. Our construction is based on an idea of Witten. In the special…
In this paper, we shall use a method based on the theory of extensions of left-symmetric algebras to classify complete left-invariant affine real structures on solvable non-unimodular three-dimensional Lie groups.
We give a short introduction to the theory of twisted Alexander polynomials of a 3--manifold associated to a representation of its fundamental group. We summarize their formal properties and we explain their relationship to twisted…
We introduce new topological quantum invariants of compact oriented 3-manifolds with boundary where the boundary is a disjoint union of two identical surfaces. The invariants are constructed via surgery on manifolds of the form $F \times I$…
This note is a sequel to our earlier paper of the same title [dg-ga/9710001] and describes invariants of rational homology 3-spheres associated to acyclic orthogonal local systems. Our work is in the spirit of the Axelrod-Singer papers,…
We give invariants of pairs $(M,L)$ consisting of a closed connected oriented three-manifold and an (oriented) framed link $L$ embedded in $M$. This invariant generalizes the Kuperberg and Hennings-Kauffman-Radford (HKR) invariants of…
By combining tools from different areas of mathematics, we obtain 3D visualizations of elliptic curves over different fields that faithfully capture the underlying algebra and geometry.
We compute a recently introduced geometric invariant of stricly pseudoconvex CR 3-manifolds for certain circle invariant spherical CR structures on Seifert manifolds. We give applications to the problem of filling the CR manifold by a…
Based on invariant algebras, we introduce representations$^{6-th}$ of Lie algebras and representations$^{< 4-th>}$ of Leibniz algebras, give the extended P-B-W Theorems in the context of the new representations of Lie algebras and Leibniz…
Cubic complexes appear in the theory of finite type invariants so often that one can ascribe them to basic notions of the theory. In this paper we begin the exposition of finite type invariants from the `cubic' point of view. Finite type…
We study the filling invariants at infinity div_{k} for Hadamard manifolds defined by Brady and Farb in [Filling-invariants at infinity for manifolds of nonpositive curvature]. Among other results, we give a positive answer to the question…
In this paper we will define an invariant $mc_{\infty}(f)$ of maps $f:X \rightarrow Y_{\mathbb{Q}}$ between a finite CW-complex and a rational space $Y_{\mathbb{Q}}$. We prove that this invariant is complete, i.e.…
Holomorphic disk invariants with boundary in the real Lagrangian of a quintic 3-fold are calculated by localization and proven mirror transforms. A careful discussion of the underlying virtual intersection theory is included. The generating…
We construct an invariant of closed oriented $3$-manifolds using a finite dimensional, involutory, unimodular and counimodular Hopf algebra $H$. We use the framework of normal o-graphs introduced by R. Benedetti and C. Petronio, in which…
A new class of 3-manifold invariants is constructed from representations of the category of framed tangles.
A finite set can be supplied with a group structure which can then be used to select (classes of) differential calculi on it via the notions of left-, right- and bicovariance. A corresponding framework has been developed by Woronowicz, more…
A left-Alia algebra is a vector space together with a bilinear map satisfying symmetric Jocobi identity. Motivated by invariant theory, we first construct a class of left-Alia algebras induced by twisted derivations. Then, we introduce the…
