We discuss various aspects of noncommutative geometry of a smooth subalgebra of the Toeplitz algebra. In particular, we study the structure of derivations on this subalgebra.

Given a Hopf algebra H, we study modules and bimodules over an algebra A that carry an H-action, as well as their morphisms and connections. Bimodules naturally arise when considering noncommutative analogues of tensor bundles. For…

We introduce a quotient of the affine Temperley-Lieb category that encodes all weight-preserving linear maps between finite-dimensional sl(2)-representations. We study the diagrammatic idempotents that correspond to projections onto…

The classical abelian invariants of a knot are the Alexander module, which is the first homology group of the the unique infinite cyclic covering space of S^3-K, considered as a module over the (commutative) Laurent polynomial ring, and the…

Let $U$ be the quantum group with divided powers in $l-$th root of unity and let $u\subset U$ be the Frobenius kernel. V.Ginzburg and S.Kumar proved that the cohomology algebra of $u$ with trivial coefficients is isomorphic to the functions…

We define a new algebra of noncommutative differential forms for any Hopf algebra with an invertible antipode. We prove that there is a one to one correspondence between anti-Yetter-Drinfeld modules, which serve as coefficients for the Hopf…

For an oriented $3$-manifold $M$, let $\mathcal{S}(M)$ denote its Kauffman bracket skein module over $\mathbb{Z}[q^{\pm\frac{1}{2}}]$. We show that $\mathcal{S}(M)$ admits torsion when $M$ is the exterior of the Montesinos knot…

Using the $U_q^Hsl_2$ non-semisimple invariants of 3-manifolds at odd roots of unity, we construct maps on the Kauffman bracket skein module at roots of unity of order twice an odd number, having any possible abelian non central character…

We construct twisted $\mathcal{D}$-modules on the projective line $\mathbb{P}^1$ that are equivariant for the action of the diagonal torus subgroup of $SL_2$. In the most interesting case these arise as extensions from local systems on…

In this paper we develop a braid theoretic approach for computing the Kauffman bracket skein module of the lens spaces $L(p,q)$, KBSM($L(p,q)$), for $q\neq 0$. For doing this, we introduce a new concept, that of an {\it unoriented braid}.…

Let $k$ be a subring of the field of rational functions in $x, v, s$ which contains $x^{\pm 1}, v^{\pm 1}, s^{\pm 1}$. If $M$ is an oriented 3-manifold, let $S(M)$ denote the Homflypt skein module of $M$ over $k$. This is the free…

The Kauffman bracket skein algebra is a quantization of the algebra of regular functions on the $SL_2$ character variety of a topological surface. We realize the skein algebra of the $4$-punctured sphere as the output of a mirror symmetry…

In earlier work, we constructed invariants of irreducible representations of the Kauffman skein algebra of a surface. We introduce here an inverse construction, which to a set of possible invariants associates an irreducible representation…

Carrega has shown that the Kauffman bracket skein module of the 3-torus over the field of rational functions in the variable A can be generated by 9 skein elements. We show this set of generators is linearly independent.

The theory of bottom tangles is used to construct a quantum fundamental group. On the other hand, the skein module is considered as a quantum analogue of the $SL(2)$ representation of the fundamental group. Here we construct the skein…

We analyze the $G$-skein theory invariants of the 3-torus $T^3$ and the two-torus $T^2$, for the groups $G = GL_N, SL_N$ and for generic quantum parameter. We obtain formulas for the dimension of the skein module of $T^3$, and we describe…

In this article, we realize skew-gentle algebras as skew-tiling algebras associated to admissible partial triangulations of punctured marked surfaces. Based on this, we establish a bijection between tagged permissible curves and certain…

We study spanning sets for the Kauffman bracket skein module $\mathcal{S}(M,\mathbb{Q}(A))$ of orientable Seifert fibered spaces with orientable base and non-empty boundary. As a consequence, we show that the KBSM of such manifolds is a…

We compute the factorisation homology of the four-punctured sphere and punctured torus over the quantum group $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ explicitly as categories of equivariant modules using the framework of `Integrating Quantum…

We give an exposition of how the Kauffman bracket arises for certain systems of anyons, and do so outside the usual arena of Temperley-Lieb-Jones categories. This is further elucidated through the discussion of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra and…
