In this paper we define a monoid of pseudo braids and prove that this monoid is isomorphic to a singular braid monoid. We also prove an analogue of Markov's theorem for pseudo braids.

We prove that if g and n are integers at least two, then the abstract commensurator of the braid group with n strands on a closed orientable surface of genus g is naturally isomorphic to the extended mapping class group of a compact…

Let B_n be the braid group on n > 3 strands. We prove that B_n modulo its center is co-Hopfian. We then show that any injective endomorphism of B_n is geometric in the sense that it is induced by a homeomorphism of a punctured disk. We…

Let $\mathcal{C}_d\subset \mathbb{C}^{d+1}$ be the space of non-singular, univariate polynomials of degree $d$. The Vi\`{e}te map $\mathscr{V} : \mathcal{C}_d \rightarrow Sym_d(\mathbb{C})$ sends a polynomial to its unordered set of roots.…

Motivated by the theory of Inoue-type varieties, we give a structure theorem for projective manifolds $W_0$ with the property of admitting a 1-parameter deformation where $W_t$ is a hypersurface in a projective smooth manifold $Z_t$. Their…

We construct a universal Vassiliev invariant for braid groups of the sphere and the mapping class groups of the sphere with $n$ punctures. The case of a sphere is different from the classical braid groups or braids of oriented surfaces of…

We give a new elementary proof of the theorem that a natural map from Milnor's construction $F[S^1]$ to the simplicial group $\mathrm{AP}$ of pure braids is injective. Our approach is group-theoretic and does not rely on Lie algebras.

Dehn twists around simple closed curves in oriented surfaces satisfy the braid relations. This gives rise to a group theoretic from the braid group to the mapping class group. We prove here that this map is trivial in stable homology with…

We determine the Zariski closure of the representations of the braid groups that factorize through the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra, for generic values of the parameters $\alpha,s$. For $\alpha,s$ of modulus 1 and close to 1, we prove that…

For a pb surface $\Sigma$, two positive integers $m,n$ with $m\mid n$, and two invertible elements $v,\epsilon$ in a commutative domain $R$ with $\epsilon^{2m} = 1$, we construct an $R$-linear isomorphism between the stated $SL_n$-skein…

We study various aspects of the structure and representation theory of singular Artin monoids. This includes a number of generalizations of the desingularization map and explicit presentations for certain finite quotient monoids of…

We compute and explicitly describe the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariants $\Sigma^1$ for the full and pure braid groups of the sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$, the real projective plane $\mathbb{R}P^2$ and specially the torus $\mathbb{T}$ and the Klein…

Let $Z$ be a smooth compact $(n+1)$-manifold. We study smooth embeddings and immersions $\beta: M \to Z$ of compact or closed $n$-manifolds $M$ such that the normal line bundle $\nu^\beta$ is trivialized. For a fixed $Z$, we introduce an…

We study the reduced descendent Gromov-Witten theory of K3 surfaces in primitive curve classes. We present a conjectural closed formula for the stationary theory, which generalizes the Bryan-Leung formula. We also prove a new recursion that…

The groups $G_n^k$ were defined by V. O. Manturov in order to describe dynamical systems in configuration systems. In the paper we consider two applications of this theory: we define a biquandle structure on the groups $G_n^k$, and…

We construct several families of embeddings of braid groups into mapping class groups of orientable and non-orientable surfaces and prove that they induce the trivial map in stable homology in the orientable case, but not so in the…

We introduce and analyze the characteristic foliation induced by a contact structure on a branched surface, in particular a branched standard spine of a 3-manifold. We extend to (fairly general) singular foliations of branched surfaces the…

We give a geometric proof of the fact that any affine surface with trivial Makar-Limanov invariant has finitely many singular points. We deduce that a complete intersection surface with trivial Makar-Limanov invariant is normal.

We define the singular elliptic genus for arbitrary normal surfaces, prove that it is a birational invariant, and show that it generalizes the singular elliptic genus of Borisov and Libgober and the stringy $\chi_y$ genus of Batyrev and…

We introduce and study a family of groups $\mathbf{BB}_n$, called the blocked-braid groups, which are quotients of Artin's braid groups $\mathbf{B}_n$, and have the corresponding symmetric groups $\Sigma_n$ as quotients. They are defined by…
