We find the $E$-polynomials of a family of parabolic $\mathrm{Sp}_{2n}$-character varieties $\mathcal{M}^{\xi}_{n}$ of Riemann surfaces by constructing a stratification, proving that each stratum has polynomial count, applying a result of…
We count points on character varieties associated with punctured surfaces and regular semisimple generic conjugacy classes in reductive groups. We find that the number of points are palindromic polynomials. This suggests a $P=W$ conjecture…
We describe a class of isolated nondegenerate hypersurface singularities that give a polynomial contribution to Batyrev's stringy E-function. These singularities are obtained by imposing a natural condition on the facets of the Newton…
It was shown by Kuznetsov that complete intersections of $n$ generic quadrics in ${\mathbb P}^{2n-1}$ are related by Homological Projective Duality to certain non-commutative (Clifford) varieties which are in some sense birational to double…
We show that string-net models provide a novel geometric method to construct invariants of mapping class group actions. Concretely, we consider string-net models for a modular tensor category ${\mathcal C}$. We show that the datum of a…
We compute the E-polynomials of a family of twisted character varieties by proving they have polynomial count, and applying a result of N. Katz on the counting functions. To compute the number of GF(q)-points of these varieties as a…
For any branched double covering of compact Riemann surfaces, we consider the associated character varieties that are unitary in the global sense, which we call $\text{GL}_n\rtimes\!<\!\sigma\!>\!~$-character varieties. We restrict the…
We study character varieties arising as moduli of representations of an orientable surface group into a reductive group $G$. We first show that if $G/Z$ acts freely on the representation variety, then both the representation variety and the…
We count points over a finite field on wild character varieties of Riemann surfaces for singularities with regular semisimple leading term. The new feature in our counting formulas is the appearance of characters of Yokonuma-Hecke algebras.…
For every integer $k$ there exists a bound $B=B(k)$ such that if the characteristic polynomial of $g\in \operatorname{SL}_n(q)$ is the product of $\le k$ pairwise distinct monic irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, then every…
We introduce the notion of stringy E-function for an arbitrary normal irreducible algebraic variety X with at worst log-terminal singularities. We prove some basic properties of stringy E-functions and compute them explicitly for arbitrary…
Batyrev has defined the stringy E-function for complex varieties with at most log terminal singularities. It is a rational function in two variables if the singularities are Gorenstein. Furthermore, if the variety is projective and its…
Associated to an abelian variety over a number field are several interesting and related groups: the motivic Galois group, the Mumford-Tate group, $\ell$-adic monodromy groups, and the Sato-Tate group. Assuming the Mumford-Tate conjecture,…
We study the connection between stringy Betti numbers of Gorenstein toric varieties and the generating functions of the Ehrhart polynomials of certain polyhedral regions. We use this point of view to give counterexamples to Hibi's…
For any unbranched double covering of compact Riemann surfaces, we study the associated character varieties that are unitary in the global sense, which we call $\text{GL}_n\rtimes\!<\!\sigma\!>\!~$-character varieties. We introduce $k>0$…
The A-polynomial encodes hyperbolic geometric information on knots and related manifolds. Historically, it has been difficult to compute, and particularly difficult to determine A-polynomials of infinite families of knots. Here, we compute…
A result of Lehrer describes a beautiful relationship between topological and combinatorial data on certain families of varieties with actions of finite reflection groups. His formula relates the cohomology of complex varieties to point…
We relate the computational complexity of finite strings to universal representations of their underlying symmetries. First, Boolean functions are classified using the universal covering topologies of the circuits which enumerate them. A…
By computing all cyclotomic points on some algebraic varieties, we get an independent and efficient way to find all rational $a^3b$-monotiles for the sphere, thereby completing the classification of edge-to-edge monohedral quadrilateral…
We study the number of points in the family of plane curves defined by a trinomial \[ \mathcal{C}(\alpha,\beta)= \{(x,y)\in\mathbb{F}_q^2\,:\,\alpha x^{a_{11}}y^{a_{12}}+\beta x^{a_{21}}y^{a_{22}}=x^{a_{31}}y^{a_{32}}\} \] with fixed…
