In this paper we study metric ribbon graphs, in particular, directed metric ribbon graphs. These ribbon graphs are dual to bipartite maps and appear in the context of Abelian differentials. We prove that it is possible to decompose a…
We obtain new calculations of the top weight rational cohomology of the moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}_{2,n}$, equivalently the rational homology of the tropical moduli spaces $\Delta_{2,n}$, as a representation of $S_n$. These calculations are…
We consider the extension of classical 2-dimensional topological quantum field theories to Klein topological quantum field theories which allow unorientable surfaces. We approach this using the theory of modular operads by introducing a new…
The homology of Kontsevich's commutative graph complex parameterizes finite type invariants of odd dimensional manifolds. This {\it graph homology} is also the twisted homology of Outer Space modulo its boundary, so gives a nice point of…
We make explicit computations in the formal symplectic geometry of Kontsevich and determine the Euler characteristics of the three cases, namely commutative, Lie and associative ones, up to certain weights.From these, we obtain some…
In this paper, we investigate the algebraic structure underlying the acyclic decomposition. This decomposition applies to directed metric ribbon graphs and enables the recursive computation of the volumes of their moduli spaces. Building on…
In this paper, we revisit the construction of the hairy graph complexes associated to a cyclic operad, by exploiting modules over the appropriate twisted linearization of the downward Brauer category (and working over a field of…
We prove an asymptotic formula for the Euler characteristic of Kontsevich's commutative graph complex. This formula implies that the total amount of commutative graph homology grows super-exponentially with the rank and, via a theorem of…
De Rham cohomology with spacelike compact and timelike compact supports has recently been noticed to be of importance for understanding the structure of classical and quantum Maxwell theory on curved spacetimes. Similarly causally…
We have written a computer program that implements Deligne's pullback and pushforward weight spectral sequences to compute the weight graded pieces of the rational cohomology of moduli spaces of pointed smooth curves (as well as curves of…
We study the topology of the tropical moduli space parametrizing stable tropical curves of genus g with n marked points in which the bounded edges have total length 1, and prove that it is highly connected. Using the identification of this…
This article investigates structural, geometrical, and topological characterizations and properties of weakly modular graphs and of cell complexes derived from them. The unifying themes of our investigation are various `nonpositive…
We construct a direct quasi-isomorphism from Kontsevich's graph complex GC_n to the oriented graph complex OGC_{n+1}, thus providing an alternative proof that the two complexes are quasi-isomorphic. Moreover, the result is extended to the…
We compute the weight 2 cohomology of the Feynman transforms of the cyclic (co)operads $\mathsf{BV}$ and $\mathsf{HyCom}$, and the top$-2$ weight cohomology of the Feynman transforms of $D\mathsf{BV}$ and $\mathsf{Grav}$. Using a result of…
We will consider P-graph complexes, where P is a cyclic operad. P-graph complexes are natural generalizations of Kontsevich's graph complexes -- for P = the operad for associative algebras it is the complex of ribbon graphs, for P = the…
For any integer $d\in \mathbb{Z}$ we introduce a complex $\mathsf{ORGC}_{d}^{(g,m)}$ spanned by genus $g$ ribbon quivers with $m$ marked boundaries and prove that its cohomology computes (up to a degree shift) the compactly supported…
We study the cohomology of forested graph complexes with ordered and unordered hairs whose cohomology computes the cohomology of a family of groups $\Gamma_{g,r}$ that generalize the (outer) automorphism group of free groups. We give…
The modular decomposition of a graph is a canonical representation of its modules. Algorithms for computing the modular decomposition of directed and undirected graphs differ significantly, with the undirected case being simpler, and…
We study the topology of a space parametrizing stable tropical curves of genus g with volume 1, showing that its reduced rational homology is canonically identified with both the top weight cohomology of M_g and also with the genus g part…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between hairy graph complexes associated to cyclic operads and their counterparts for operads (and, more generally, dioperads). This is based on the author's interpretation of…
