Semi-direct products of finite groups have permutation representations that are constructed from the permutation representations of their constituents. One can envision these in a metaphoric sense in which a rope is made from a bundle of threads. In this way, subgroups and quotients are easily visualized. The general i…

Drinfel'd used associators to construct families of universal representations of braid groups. We consider semi-associators (i.e., we drop the pentagonal axiom and impose a normalization in degree one). We show that the process may be reversed, to obtain semi-associators from universal representations of 3-braids. We v…
We demonstrate how a 3-manifold, a Heegaard diagram, and a group presentation can each be interpreted as a pair of signed permutations in the symmetric group We demonstrate the power of permutation data in programming and discuss an algorithm we have developed that takes the permutation data as input and determi…
P. Berglund, T. Hübsch, and M. Henningson proposed a method to construct mirror symmetric Calabi-Yau manifolds. They considered a pair consisting of an invertible polynomial and of a finite (abelian) group of its diagonal symmetries together with a dual pair. A. Takahashi suggested a method to generalize this construct…

We study petal diagrams of knots, which provide a method of describing knots in terms of permutations in a symmetric group . We define two classes of moves on such permutations, called trivial petal additions and crossing exchanges, which do not change the isotopy class of the underlying knot. We prove that a…
New metrics and coordinates for barcode space using group theory.
We study the structure group of a canonical algebraic curvature tensor built from a symmetric bilinear form, and show that in most cases it coincides with the isometry group of the symmetric form from which it is built. Our main result is that the structure group of the direct sum of such canonical algebraic curvature …
ShuffleNet is a state-of-the-art light weight convolutional neural network architecture. Its basic operations include group, channel-wise convolution and channel shuffling. However, channel shuffling is manually designed empirically. Mathematically, shuffling is a multiplication by a permutation matrix. In this paper, …
Enhances GNNs by capturing node relationships, outperforming 2-WL test.
We consider the question of existence of ramified covers over P_1 matching certain prescribed ramification conditions. This problem has already been faced in a number of papers, but we discuss alternative approaches for an existence proof, involving elliptic curves and universal ramified covers with signature. We also …
New method connects neural networks to diagrammatic algebra.
In this paper we introduce distinct approaches to loop braid groups, a generalisation of braid groups, and unify all the definitions that have appeared so far in literature, with a complete proof of the equivalence of these definitions. These groups have in fact been an object of interest in different domains of mathem…
New Poisson bracket connects to logarithmic manifolds.
New method uses exponential family priors to handle shuffled data problems.
A nonpolycyclic nilpotent-by-cyclic group Gamma can be expressed as the HNN extension of a finitely-generated nilpotent group N. The first main result is that quasi-isometric nilpotent-by-cyclic groups are HNN extensions of quasi-isometric nilpotent groups. The nonsurjective injection defining such an extension induces…

New algorithm improves PPS for multi-object matching.
EquivCNP learns group symmetries for conditional data.
There has been a recent surge of interest in studying permutation-based models for ranking from pairwise comparison data. Despite being structurally richer and more robust than parametric ranking models, permutation-based models are less well understood statistically and generally lack efficient learning algorithms. In…

Link Floer homology is an invariant for links which has recently been described entirely in a combinatorial way. Originally constructed with mod 2 coefficients, it was generalized to integer coefficients thanks to a sign refinement. In this paper, thanks to the spin extension of the permutation group we give an alterna…
We show that for any at least and sufficiently large, the mapping class group of a surface of genus can be generated by three elements of order . We also show that this can be done with four elements of order . We additionally prove similar results for some permutation groups, linear groups, and a…
We show that surface groups are flexibly stable in permutations. This is the first non-trivial example of a non-amenable flexibly stable group. Our method is purely geometric and relies on an analysis of branched covers of hyperbolic surfaces. Along the way we establish a quantitative variant of the LERF property for s…
We classify the simplest rational elements in a twisted loop group, and prove that dressing actions of them on proper indefinite affine spheres give the classical Tzitzéica transformation and its dual. We also give the group point of view of the Permutability Theorem, construct complex Tzitzéica transformations, and di…
New neural network architectures use signed permutation representations for finite groups, improving performance.
The column group is a subgroup of the symmetric group on the elements of a finite blackboard birack generated by the column permutations in the birack matrix. We use subgroups of the column group associated to birack homomorphisms to define an enhancement of the integral birack counting invariant and give examples whic…
We study a notion of a Lipschitz, permutation-invariant "centroid" for triples of points in mapping class groups MCG(S), which satisfies a certain polynomial growth bound. A consequence (via work of Drutu-Sapir or Chatterji-Ruane) is the Rapid Decay Property for MCG(S).
We consider a class of stratified groups with a CR structure and a compatible control distance. For these Lie groups we show that the space of conformal maps coincide with the space of CR and anti-CR diffeomorphisms. Furthermore, we prove that on products of such groups, all CR and anti-CR maps are product maps, up to …
