In this paper we study "discrete polynomial blending," a term used to define a certain discretized version of curve blending whereby one approximates from the "sum of tensor product polynomial spaces" over certain grids. Our strategy is to…

We define new higher-order Alexander modules $\mathcal{A}_n(C)$ and higher-order degrees $\delta_n(C)$ which are invariants of the algebraic planar curve $C$. These come from analyzing the module structure of the homology of certain…

The Eynard-Orantin invariants of a plane curve are multilinear differentials on the curve. For a particular class of genus zero plane curves these invariants can be equivalently expressed in terms of simpler expressions given by polynomials…

An enumerative problem on a variety $V$ is usually solved by reduction to intersection theory in the cohomology of a compactification of $V$. However, if the problem is invariant under a "nice" group action on $V$ (so that $V$ is…

We introduce the concept of Almost-Companion Matrix (ACM) by relaxing the non-derogatory property of the standard Companion Matrix (CM). That is, we define an ACM as a matrix whose characteristic polynomial coincides with a given monic and…

Given a properly normalized parametrization of a genus-0 modular curve, the complex multiplication points map to algebraic numbers called singular moduli. In the classical case, the maps can be given analytically. However, in the Shimura…

We want to compute generic $\mathrm{Ext}$-spaces of twisted polynomial functors in relation to the $\mathrm{Ext}$-spaces of the untwisted ones, modulo a parametrisation. Thanks to the study of a spectral sequence we get to a computation in…

We study a twisted Alexander polynomial naturally associated to a hyperbolic knot in an integer homology 3-sphere via a lift of the holonomy representation to SL(2, C). It is an unambiguous symmetric Laurent polynomial whose coefficients…

Farin proposed a method for designing Bezier curves with monotonic curvature and torsion. Such curves are relevant in design due to their aesthetic shape. The method relies on applying a matrix M to the first edge of the control polygon of…

For a 3-manifold M, McMullen derived from the Alexander polynomial of M a norm on H^1(M, R) called the Alexander norm. He showed that the Thurston norm on H^1(M, R), which measures the complexity of a dual surface, is an upper bound for the…

$Q$ is a quiver of type $\tilde A(n-1,1)$ if its graph is of affine type $\tilde A_{n-1}$ and if its arrows have a certain orientation. We develop a bijection between the set of indecomposable $kQ$-modules whose dimension vectors are…

We establish a connection between the Alexander polynomial of a knot and its twisted and $L^2$-versions with the triangulations that appear in 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry. Specifically, we introduce twisted Neumann--Zagier matrices of…

Recently, Bigelow defined a diagrammatic method for calculating the Alexander polynomial of a knot or link by resolving crossings in a planar algebra. I will present my multivariate version of Bigelow's calculation. The advantage to my…

Twisted Alexander invariants have been defined for any knot and linear representation of its group. The invariants are generalized for any periodic representation of the commutator subgroup of the knot group. Properties of the new twisted…

We study the topology of real polynomial maps $\mathbb{R}^{4n} \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^{4}$ expressed in terms of bicomplex variables and their conjugates, which we refer to as bicomplex mixed polynomials. We introduce the notion of…

We survey interactions between the topology and the combinatorics of complex hyperplane arrangements. Without claiming to be exhaustive, we examine in this setting combinatorial aspects of fundamental groups, associated graded Lie algebras,…

We develop a dimer model for the Alexander polynomial of a knot. This recovers Kauffman's state sum model for the Alexander polynomial using the language of dimers. By providing some additional structure we are able to extend this model to…

We continue the program started in \cite{M1} to understand the combinatorial commutative algebra of the projective coordinate rings of the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}_{C, \vec{p}}(SL_2(\C))$ of quasi-parabolic $SL_2(\C)$ principal bundles on…

Let $f: \CN \rightarrow \C $ be a reduced polynomial map, with $D=f^{-1}(0)$, $\U=\CN \setminus D$ and boundary manifold $M=\partial \U$. Assume that $f$ is transversal at infinity and $D$ has only isolated singularities. Then the only…

For a real reflection group the reflecting hyperplanes cut out on the unit sphere a simplicial complex called the Coxeter complex. Abramenko showed that each reflecting hyperplane meets the Coxeter complex in another Coxeter complex if and…
