We extend the Gordon-Litherland pairing to links in thickened surfaces, and use it to define signature, determinant, and nullity invariants for links that bound (unoriented) spanning surfaces. The invariants are seen to depend only on the…
We use an extension of Gordon-Litherland pairing to thickened surfaces to give a topological characterization of alternating links in thickened surfaces. If $\Sigma$ is a closed oriented surface and $F$ is a compact unoriented surface in…
In this paper we prove the Jordan-Kronecker theorem which gives a canonical form for a pair of skew-symmetric bilinear forms on a finite-dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field.
We extend the flyping theorem to alternating links in thickened surfaces and alternating virtual links. The proof of the former result uses work of Boden--Karimi to adapt the author's geometric proof of Tait's 1898 flyping conjecture (first…
We consider a pair consisting of an invertible polynomial and a finite abelian group of its symmetries. Berglund, H\"ubsch, and Henningson proposed a duality between such pairs giving rise to mirror symmetry. We define an orbifoldized…
For line arrangements in P^2 with nice combinatorics (in particular, for those which are nodal away the line at infinity), we prove that the combinatorics contains the same information as the fundamental group together with the meridianal…
In paper "A new twist on Lorenz links" (Journal of Topology 2(2009), 227-248) Joan Birman and Ilya Kofman prove the coincidence of the class of Lorenz links and the class of twisted links. The proof in that work is algebraic. We will…
A linking pairing is a symetric bilinear pairing lambda: GxG --> Q/Z on a finite abelian group. The set of isomorphism classes of linking pairings is a non-cancellative monoid E under orthogonal sum, which is infinitely generated and…
We develop a wide general theory of bilinear bi-parameter singular integrals $T$. First, we prove a dyadic representation theorem starting from $T1$ assumptions and apply it to show many estimates, including $L^p \times L^q \to L^r$…
This paper brings together two theories in algebra that have had been extensively developed in recent years. First is the study of various homological dimensions and what information such invariants can give about a ring and its modules. A…
We extend the theory of bilinear forms on the Green ring of a finite group developed by Benson and Parker to the context of the Grothendieck group of a triangulated category with Auslander-Reiten triangles, taking only relations given by…
We provide a diagrammatic computation for the bilinear form, which is defined as the pairing between the (relative) cup products with every local coefficients and every integral homology 2-class of every links in the 3-sphere. As a…
In this paper, we consider generalizations of the Alexander polynomial and signature of 2-bridge knots by considering the Gordon-Litherland bilinear forms associated to essential state surfaces of the 2-bridge knots. We show that the…
We introduce the concept of a Girard couple, which consists of two (not necessarily unital) quantales linked by a strong form of duality. The two basic examples of Girard couples arise in the study of endomorphism quantales and of the…
We introduce a simple combinatorial method for computing all versions of the knot Floer homology of the preimage of a two-bridge knot K(p,q) inside its double-branched cover, -L(p,q). The 4-pointed genus 1 Heegaard diagram we obtain looks…
We present a simple combinatorial model for quasipositive surfaces and positive braids, based on embedded bipartite graphs. As a first application, we extend the well-known duality on standard diagrams of torus links to twisted torus links.…
We obtain new invariants of topological link concordance and homology cobordism of 3-manifolds from Hirzebruch-type intersection form defects of towers of iterated p-covers. Our invariants can extract geometric information from an arbitrary…
We introduce an algorithm that exploits a combinatorial symmetry of an arrangement in order to produce a geometric reflection between two disconnected components of its moduli space. We apply this method to disqualify three real examples…
An isolated hypersurface singularity comes equipped with many different pairings on different spaces, the intersection form and the Seifert form on the Milnor lattice, a polarizing form for a mixed Hodge structure on a dual space, and a…
On taking a non-trivial and semi-transitive bi-relation constituted by two (hard and soft) binary relations, we report a (i) p-continuity assumption that guarantees the completeness and transitivity of its soft part, and a (ii)…
