Study shows quasipositive fiber surfaces can't be well-ordered.

The Dehornoy order on braid groups is derived from a cluster algebra.

Defines a strict order on plat presentation classes for links.

The relationships between braid ordering and the geometry of its closure is studied. We prove that if an essential closed surface $F$ in the complements of closed braid has relatively small genus with respect to the Dehornoy floor of the braid, $F$ is circular-foliated in a sense of Birman-Menasco's Braid foliation the…

We give an explicit geometric argument that Artin's braid group $B_n$ is right-orderable. The construction is elementary, natural, and leads to a new, effectively computable, canonical form for braids which we call left-consistent canonical form. The left-consistent form of a braid which is positive (respectively negat…

The genus of knots is a one of the fundamental invariant and can be seen as a complexity of knots. In this paper, we give a lower bound of genus using Dehornoy floor, which is a measure of complexity of braids in terms of braid ordering.

A left orderable completely metrizable topological group is exhibited containing Artin's braid group on infinitely many strands. The group is the mapping class group (rel boundary) of the closed unit disk with a sequence of interior punctures converging to the boundary. This resolves an issue suggested by work of Dehor…

We show that a non-trivial, non-central normal subgroup of the braid groups contains a braid whose closure is a hyperbolic knot with arbitrary large genus. This shows that non-faithfulness of a quantum representation implies that the corresponding quantum invariant fails to detect the unknot. The proof utilizes the Deh…

This is a draft of a book submitted for publication by the AMS. Its theme is the remarkable interplay, accelerating in the last few decades, between topology and the theory of orderable groups, with applications in both directions. It begins with an introduction to orderable groups and their algebraic properties. Many …

Based on a normal form for braid group elements suggested by Dehornoy, we prove several representations of braid groups by automorphisms of a free group to be faithful. This includes a simple proof of the standard Artin's representation being faithful.

Invites geometers to Garside theory for mapping class groups.

A closed braid naturally gives rise to a transverse link in the standard contact 3-space. We study the effect of the dynamical properties of the braid monodromy, such as right-veering, on the contact-topological properties of the transverse link and its transverse invariants in knot Floer and Khovanov homologies. In pa…

Criterion for stopping conjugacy class enumeration in triangle groups.

Given a closed Riemannian manifold and a pair of multi-curves in it, we give a formula relating the linking number of the later to the spectral theory of the Laplace operator acting on differential one forms. As an application, we compute the linking number of any two multi-geodesics of the flat torus of dimension 3, g…

Study of quasimorphisms and bounded cohomology in braided Thompson groups.

New family of braided Thompson groups introduced using recursive braids.

New invariants defined for volume-preserving flows on 3-manifolds.

We prove that the exponential growth rate of the regular language of penetration sequences is smaller than the growth rate of the regular language of normal form words, if the acceptor of the regular language of normal form words is strongly connected. Moreover, we show that the latter property is satisfied for all irr…

The study of random positive 3-strand braids reveals patterns in the roots of their Alexander polynomials.

A conjugation-free geometric presentation of a fundamental group is a presentation with the natural topological generators $x_1, ..., x_n$ and the cyclic relations: $x_{i_k}x_{i_{k-1}} ... x_{i_1} = x_{i_{k-1}} ... x_{i_1} x_{i_k} = ... = x_{i_1} x_{i_k} ... x_{i_2}$ with no conjugations on the generators. We have alre…

The paper characterizes L-space 3-manifolds using quandle orderability.

In order-driven markets, limit-order book (LOB) resiliency is an important microscopic indicator of market quality when the order book is hit by a liquidity shock and plays an essential role in the design of optimal submission strategies of large orders. However, the evolutionary behavior of LOB resilience around liqui…

Optimal stock trading strategy with market orders and limit orders in a risky market.

Algorithm confirms non-order-preserving braids, proving infinite family not order-preserving.

Study analyzes order transitions in high, medium, and low market cap stocks using Markov chains.

The paper explores orderability in link quandles and provides various results.

We study the analytical properties of a one-side order book model in which the flows of limit and market orders are Poisson processes and the distribution of lifetimes of cancelled orders is exponential. Although simplistic, the model provides an analytical tractability that should not be overlooked. Using basic result…

Map quandle orders to actions, characterize isolated orders, and prove no isolated right orders.

The paper defines circular orderability for quandles and explores their properties.

Bi-orderable groups from left-orderable ones, showing non-profinite properties.

In financial markets, the order flow, defined as the process assuming value one for buy market orders and minus one for sell market orders, displays a very slowly decaying autocorrelation function. Since orders impact prices, reconciling the persistence of the order flow with market efficiency is a subtle issue. A poss…

It is well known that a countable group admits a left-invariant total order if and only if it acts faithfully on R by orientation preserving homeomorphisms. Such group actions are special cases of group actions on simply connected 1-manifolds, or equivalently, actions on oriented order trees. We characterize a class of…

New conditions for circular orderability of direct products, linking to left-orderability of groups.

New criterion for bi-ordering free groups under automorphisms.

We study the dynamics of order flows around large intraday price changes using ultra-high-frequency data from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. We find a significant reversal of price for both intraday price decreases and increases with a permanent price impact. The volatility, the volume of different types of orders, the b…

We identify and analyze statistical regularities and irregularities in the recent order flow of different NASDAQ stocks, focusing on the positions where orders are placed in the orderbook. This includes limit orders being placed outside of the spread, inside the spread and (effective) market orders. We find that limit …

A framework models order book dynamics using point processes and mass transport.

We investigate the probability distribution of order imbalance calculated from the order flow data of 43 Chinese stocks traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Two definitions of order imbalance are considered based on the order number and the order size. We find that the order imbalance distributions of individual stoc…

Order positions are key variables in algorithmic trading. This paper studies the limiting behavior of order positions and related queues in a limit order book. In addition to the fluid and diffusion limits for the processes, fluctuations of order positions and related queues around their fluid limits are analyzed. As a…

The paper explores circular orderability in 3-manifold groups, related to the L-space conjecture.

We extend the Heegaard Floer homological definition of spectral order for closed contact 3-manifolds due to Kutluhan, Matić, Van Horn-Morris, and Wand to contact 3-manifolds with convex boundary. We show that the order of a codimension zero contact submanifold bounds the order of the ambient manifold from above. As the…

Improved stock price prediction model using generalized order flow imbalance.

Two price regimes identified in limit order books: close and far from quotes.

A key feature of inductive logic programming (ILP) is its ability to learn first-order programs, which are intrinsically more expressive than propositional programs. In this paper, we introduce techniques to learn higher-order programs. Specifically, we extend meta-interpretive learning (MIL) to support learning higher…

MIC improves VAR order selection accuracy.

In this paper we define $n$th order Hessian structures on manifolds and study them. In particular, when $n = 3$, we make a detailed study and establish a one-to-one correspondence between {\it third-order Hessian structures} and a {\it certain class of connections} on the second-order tangent bundle of a manifold. Furt…

Motivated by recent activity in low-dimensional topology, we provide a new criterion for left-orderability of a group under the assumption that the group is circularly-orderable: A group $G$ is left-orderable if and only if $G \times \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ is circularly-orderable for all $n > 1$. This implies that eve…
