We compute cup product pairings in the integral cohomology ring of the moduli space of rank two stable bundles with odd determinant over a Riemann surface using methods of Zagier. The resulting formula is related to a generating function for certain skew Schur polynomials. As an application, we compute the nilpotency d…

We make a new attempt at the recently suggested program to express knot polynomials through topological vertices, which can be considered as a possible approach to the tangle calculus: we discuss the Macdonald deformation of the relation between the convolution of two topological vertices and the HOMFLY-PT invariant of…

As a new step in the study of rectangularly-colored knot polynomials, we reformulate the prescription of arXiv:1606.06015 for twist knots in the double-column representations $R=[rr]$ in terms of skew Schur polynomials. These, however, are mysteriously shifted from the standard topological locus, what makes further gen…

The spaces of Sp(n)-, Sp(n)U(1)- and Sp(n)Sp(1)- invariant, translation invariant, continuous convex valuations on the quaternionic vector space H^n are studied. Combinatorial dimension formulas involving Young diagrams and Schur polynomials are proved.

New algebraic setup defines quantum link invariants.

The colored HOMFLY polynomial is the quantum invariant of oriented links in $S^3$ associated with irreducible representations of the quantum group $U_q(\mathrm{sl}_N)$. In this paper, using an approach to calculate quantum invariants of links via cabling-projection rule, we derive a formula for the colored HOMFLY polyn…

Paper proves a new volume comparison theorem for Riemannian manifolds.

We describe an iterative construction of Lagrangian tori in the complex Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}(k,n)$, based on the cluster algebra structure of the coordinate ring of a mirror Landau-Ginzburg model proposed by Marsh-Rietsch. Each torus comes with a Laurent polynomial, and local systems controlled by the $k$-va…

In this short note, we prove that a complex Finsler vector bundle with positive Kobayashi curvature must be ample, which partially solves a problem of S. Kobayashi posed in 1975. As applications, a strongly pseudoconvex complex Finsler manifold with positive Kobayashi curvature must be biholomorphic to the complex proj…

The paper defines new types of positivity and proves properties of Schur forms for vector bundles.

In this paper, we study a general almost Schur Lemma on pseudo-Hermitian (2n+1)-manifolds $(M,J,θ)$ for $n\geq2$. When the equality of almost Schur inequality holds, we derive the contact form $θ$ is pseudo-Einstein and the pseudo-Hermitian scalar curvature is constant.

In the paper, we give a Schur-Toponogov theorem in Riemannian geometry, which not only generalizes Schur's and Toponogov's theorem but also indicates their relation. Inspired by its proof, we also supply a new proof of Toponogov's theorem (in the large) in Alexandrov geometry.

New CR almost Schur Lemma estimates curvature on compact manifolds.

We show that the Schur multiplier of $Sp(2g,\mathbb Z/D\mathbb Z)$ is $\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$, when $D$ is divisible by 4.

Let X=G/P be cominuscule rational homogeneous variety. (Equivalently, X admits the structure of a compact Hermitian symmetric space.) We say a Schubert class [S] is Schur rigid if the only irreducible subvarieties Y of X with homology class [Y] = r [S], for an integer r, are Schubert varieties. Robles and The identifie…

In this paper, we prove almost Schur Lemma on closed smooth metric measure spaces, which implies the results of X. Cheng and De Lellis-Topping whenever the weighted function f is constant.

Let L be a link in a thickened annulus. We show that its sutured annular Khovanov homology carries an action of the exterior current algebra of the Lie algebra sl_2. When L is an m-framed n-cable of a knot K in the three-sphere, its sutured annular Khovanov homology carries a commuting action of the symmetric group S_n…

We study the spaces of polynomials stratified into the sets of polynomial with fixed number of roots inside certain semialgebraic region $Ω$, on its border, and at the complement to its closure. Presented approach is a generalisation, unification and development of several classical approaches to stability problems in …

A new method for efficient portfolio optimization using graph structures.

The Schur's theorem of antiholomorphic type is proved for arbitrary almost Hermitian manifolds, namely: If a connected almost Hermitian manifold of dimension greater or equal to 6 is of pointwise constant antiholomorphic sectional curvature, then this curvature is a global constant.

The paper studies connectivity of Schur-Horn map images in real Grassmannians.

We define a map from second quandle homology to the Schur multiplier and examine its properties. Furthermore, we express the second homology of Alexander quandles in terms of exterior algebras. Additionally, we present a self-contained proof of its structure and provide some computational examples.

The main goal is to find the Homfly polynomial of a link formed by decorating each component of the Hopf link with the closure of a directly oriented tangle. Such decorations are spanned in the Homfly skein of the annulus by elements Q_λ, depending on partitions λ. We show how to find the 2-variable Homfly invariant <λ…

In this short note we establish an integral geometric inequality in a smooth metric measure space of the nonnegative Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature. This result can be regarded as a mild generalization of the almost Schur theorem due to De Lellis and Topping (Calc. Var., DOI: 10.1007/s00526-011-0413-z).

HZ transform applied to knot polynomials reveals hyperbolic knot structures.

Schur's lemma states that every Einstein manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ has constant scalar curvature. Here $(M,g)$ is defined to be Einstein if its traceless Ricci tensor $$\Rico:=\Ric-\frac{R}{n}g$$ is identically zero. In this short note we ask to what extent the scalar curvature is constant if the traceless Ricci …
