Studies modules over a category of Jacobi diagrams in handlebodies.

Study on polynomiality and outer nature of functors from Jacobi diagrams to group homomorphisms.

We adapt the notion of Jacobi diagrams on surfaces (considered by Andersen-Mattes-Reshetikhin), and construct a LMO-like map that we use to compare some functoriality properties of WRT and LMO invariants.

We prove the vanishing of the space of 3-loop Jacobi diagrams of odd degree. This implies that no 3-loop finite-type invariant can distinguish between a knot and its inverse.

Study automorphism groups' action on Jacobi diagrams, leading to new decompositions.

Study the kernel of surgery map restricted to 1-loop part of homology cylinders.

New invariant distinguishes lens spaces via categorified homotopy E_3-algebra.

We present an alternative definition for the Goussarov--Habiro filtration of the Z-module freely generated by oriented integral homology 3-spheres, by means of Lagrangian-preserving homology handlebody replacements (LP-surgeries). Garoufalidis, Goussarov and Polyak proved that the graded space (G_n)_n associated to thi…

Let S be a compact connected oriented surface, whose boundary is connected or empty. A homology cylinder over the surface S is a cobordism between S and itself, homologically equivalent to the cylinder over S. The Y-filtration on the monoid of homology cylinders over S is defined by clasper surgery. Using a functorial …

The purpose of this paper is twofold. On one hand, we introduce a modification of the dual canonical basis for invariant tensors of the 3-dimensional irreducible representation of $U_q(sl_2)$, given in terms of Jacobi diagrams, a central tool in quantum topology. On the other hand, we use this modified basis to study t…

Two graph homologies help compute embedding space.

The paper studies the n-loop Kontsevich invariant of knots with same Alexander polynomial.

We give a generalization of Fukaya's Morse homotopy theoretic approach for 2-loop Chern--Simons perturbation theory to 3-valent graphs with arbitrary number of loops at least 2. We construct a sequence of invariants of integral homology 3-spheres with values in a space of 3-valent graphs (Jacobi diagrams or Feynman dia…

Studying the isotropy orbits of compact symmetric spaces Reiswich introduced a family of explicit polynomials in one variable in order to describe the unique minimal isotropy orbit of compact symmetric spaces with Dynkin diagram of type $D_m$. Based on this geometric interpretation he conjectured that these polynomials…

Curves in Lagrange Grassmannians appear naturally in the intrinsic study of geometric structures on manifolds. By a smooth geometric structure on a manifold we mean any submanifold of its tangent bundle, transversal to the fibers. One can consider the time-optimal problem naturally associate with a geometric structure.…

Lagrangian cobordisms are three-dimensional compact oriented cobordisms between once-punctured surfaces, subject to some homological conditions. We extend the Le-Murakami-Ohtsuki invariant of homology three-spheres to a functor from the category of Lagrangian cobordisms to a certain category of Jacobi diagrams. We prov…

This paper concerns the topology of isospectral real manifolds of certain Jacobi elements associated with real split semisimple Lie algebras. The manifolds are related to the compactified level sets of the generalized (nonperiodic) Toda lattice equations defined on the semisimple Lie algebras. We then give a cellular d…

In this paper, it is explained that a topological invariant for 3-manifold $M$ with $b_1(M)=1$ can be constructed by applying Fukaya's Morse homotopy theoretic approach for Chern--Simons perturbation theory to a local system on $M$ of rational functions associated to the free abelian covering of $M$. Our invariant take…

The elliptic associator of Enriquez can be used to define an invariant of tangles embedded in the thickened torus, which extends the Kontsevich integral. This construction by Humbert uses the formulation of categories with elliptic structures. In this work we show that an extension of the LMO functor also leads to an e…

The book defines an invariant for framed links and 3-manifolds using graph configurations.

We study twisted Jacobi manifolds, a concept that we had introduced in a previous Note. Twisted Jacobi manifolds can be characterized using twisted Dirac-Jacobi, which are sub-bundles of Courant-Jacobi algebroids. We show that each twisted Jacobi manifold has an associated Lie algebroid with a 1-cocycle. We introduce t…

We propose a definition of Jacobi quasi-Nijenhuis algebroid and show that any such Jacobi algebroid has an associated quasi-Jacobi bialgebroid. Therefore, also an associated Courant-Jacobi algebroid is obtained. We introduce the notions of quasi-Jacobi bialgebroid morphism and Courant-Jacobi algebroid morphism providin…

We define an invariant $\nabla_G(M)$ of pairs M,G, where M is a 3-manifold obtained by surgery on some framed link in the cylinder $S\times I$, S is a connected surface with at least one boundary component, and G is a fatgraph spine of S. In effect, $\nabla_G$ is the composition with the $ι_n$ maps of Le-Murakami-Ohtsu…

Defines Jacobi-Koszul-Vinberg structures on Jacobi-left-symmetric algebroids.

The study extends Jacobi-orthogonality to indefinite scalar product spaces.

We study quasi-Jacobi and Jacobi-quasi bialgebroids and their relationships with twisted Jacobi and quasi Jacobi manifolds. We show that we can construct quasi-Lie bialgebroids from quasi-Jacobi bialgebroids, and conversely, and also that the structures induced on their base manifolds are related via a quasi Poissoniza…

For rational homology 3-spheres, there exist two universal finite-type invariants: the Le-Murakami-Ohtsuki invariant and the Kontsevich-Kuperberg-Thurston invariant. These invariants take values in the same space of "Jacobi diagrams", but it is not known whether they are equal. In 2004, Lescop proved that the KKT invar…

Defines Dirac pairs on Jacobi algebroids, generalizing Lie algebroids.

We use the supergeometric formalism, more precisely, the so-called "big bracket" (for which brackets and anchors are encoded by functions on some graded symplectic manifold) to address the theory of Jacobi algebroids and bialgebroids (following mainly Iglesias-Marrero and Grabowski-Marmo as a guideline). This formalism…

In this paper, we develop holomorphic Jacobi structures. Holomorphic Jacobi manifolds are in one-to-one correspondence with certain homogeneous holomorphic Poisson manifolds. Furthermore, holomorphic Poisson manifolds can be looked at as special cases of holomorphic Jacobi manifolds. We show that holomorphic Jacobi str…

Defines compatibility between Jacobi structures and pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Jacobi algebroids.

This paper extends Jacobi field theory to Jacobi curves and their curvatures.

We study the holomorphic unitary representations of the Jacobi group based on Siegel-Jacobi domains. Explicit polynomial orthonormal bases of the Fock spaces based on the Siegel-Jacobi disk are obtained. The scalar holomorphic discrete series of the Jacobi group for the Siegel-Jacobi disk is constructed and polynomial …

Inverse metric matrices on Siegel-Jacobi spaces are calculated for Berezin quantization.

Jacobi algebroids (i.e. `Jacobi versions' of Lie algebroids) are studied in the context of graded Jacobi brackets on graded commutative algebras. This unifies varios concepts of graded Lie structures in geometry and physics. A method of describing such structures by classical Lie algebroids via certain gauging (in the …

Lichnerowicz-Jacobi cohomology and homology of Jacobi manifolds are reviewed. We present both in a unified approach using the representation of the Lie algebra of functions on itself by means of the hamiltonian vector fields. The use of the associated Lie algebroid allows to prove that the Lichnerowicz-Jacobi cohomolog…

Paper introduces stochastic HJB on Jacobi structures.

Jacobi-Nijenhuis algebroids are defined as a natural generalization of Poisson-Nijenhuis algebroids, in the case where there exists a Nijenhuis operator on a Jacobi algebroid which is compatible with it. We study modular classes of Jacobi and Jacobi-Nijenhuis algebroids.

The most general Jacobi brackets in $\mathbb{R}^3$ are constructed after solving the equations imposed by the Jacobi identity. Two classes of Jacobi brackets were identified, according to the rank of the Jacobi structures. The associated Hamiltonian vector fields are also constructed.
