The main result of this paper is a negative answer to the question: are all transversal knot types transversally simple? An explicit infinite family of examples is given of closed 3-braids that define transversal knot types that are not…
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.
We prove that for knots and links that are closures of 5-braids, single-colored ADO-invariant of third order coincides with Links-Gould polynomial with specific choice of variables. We also conjecture that this is true for any knots and…
Unitons, i.e.\ harmonic spheres in a unitary group, correspond to \lq uniton bundles\rq, i.e.\ holomorphic bundles over the compactified tangent space to the complex line with certain triviality and other properties. In this paper, we use a…
We construct two distinct yet related M-theory models that provide suitable frameworks for the study of knot invariants. We then focus on the four-dimensional gauge theory that follows from appropriately compactifying one of these M-theory…
This paper defines a new sequence of finite dimensional algebras as quotients of the group algebras of the braid groups. This sequence depends on three homogeneous parameters and has a one-parameter family of Markov traces, and so gives a…
Highly connected and yet sparse graphs (such as expanders or graphs of high treewidth) are fundamental, widely applicable and extensively studied combinatorial objects. We initiate the study of such highly connected graphs that are, in…
We provide a characterization for multitwists satisfying the braid relation in the mapping class group of an orientable surface.
We show that every trivial 3-strand braid diagram contains a disk, defined as a ribbon ending in opposed crossings. Under a convenient algebraic form, the result extends to every Artin--Tits group of dihedral type, but it fails to extend to…
The paper encloses computation of simple centralizer of simple braids and their connection with Fibonacci numbers. Planarity of some commuting graphs is also discussed in the last section.
We prove that braid invariants coming from quantum gl(N) separate braids, by recalling that these invariants (properly decomposed) are all Vassiliev invariants, showing that all Vassiliev invariants of braids arise in this way, and…
We provide two alternate settings for a family of varieties modeling the uniserial representations with fixed sequence of composition factors over a finite dimensional algebra. The first is a quasi-projective subvariety of a Grassmannian…
We describe an alternative way of computing Alexander polynomials of knots/links, based on the Artin representation of the corresponding braids by automorphisms of a free group. Then we apply the same method to other representations of…
In this note, we give an exposition of the construction of Seiberg-Witten invariants.
We study the three-particle and four-particle scattering amplitudes for an arbitrary, finite number of massive scalars, spinors and vectors by employing the on-shell massive spinor formalism. We consider the most general three-particle…
A \textit{$t$-unit-bar representation} of a graph $G$ is an assignment of sets of at most $t$ horizontal unit-length segments in the plane to the vertices of $G$ so that (1) all of the segments are pairwise nonintersecting, and (2) two…
The Alexander polynomial of a knot has been generalized in three different ways to give twisted invariants. The resulting invariants are usually referred to as twisted Alexander polynomials, higher-order Alexander polynomials and…
In this paper we study the Gan-Gross-Prasad problem for unitary groups over finite fields. Our results provide complete answers for unipotent representations, and we obtain the explicit branching of these representations.
In this article a complete description is given of the simple representations of a 3-dimensional Sklyanin algebra associated to a torsion point. In order to determine these irreducible representations, a review is given of classical results…
This paper gives a connection between well chosen reductions of the Links-Gould invariants of oriented links and powers of the Alexander-Conway polynomial. We prove these formulas by showing the representations of the braid groups we derive…
