Deformations of compact Riemann surfaces are considered using a Čech cohomology sliding overlaps approach. Cocycles are calculated for conformal cutting and regluing deformations at zeros of Abelian differentials. A second order deformation expansion is presented for the Riemann period matrix. A complete deformation ex…

Study shows monodromy kernels are large, failing to prove commensurability in specific strata.

The Birman exact sequence describes the effect on the mapping class group of a surface with boundary of gluing discs to the boundary components. We construct an analogous exact sequence for the automorphism group of a free group. For the mapping class group, the kernel of the Birman exact sequence is a surface braid gr…

The paper disproves the existence of certain subgroups with nontrivial rational abelianization.

Researchers determine the rational abelianization of a subgroup of mapping class groups.

We establish a criterion for when an abelian extension of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras integrates to a corresponding Lie group extension $\hat{G}$ of $G$ by $A$, where $G$ is a connected, simply connected Lie group and $A$ is a quotient of its Lie algebra by some discrete subgroup. When $G$ is non-simply connected…

The Johnson kernel is the subgroup of the mapping class group of a surface generated by Dehn twists along bounding simple closed curves, and has the second Johnson homomorphism as a free abelian quotient. In terms of the representation theory of the symplectic group, we give a complete description of cup products of tw…

Quantum codes linked to abelian varieties, providing mathematical rigor.

For some $g \geq 3$, let $Γ$ be a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group of a genus $g$ surface (possibly with boundary components and punctures). An old conjecture of Ivanov says that the abelianization of $Γ$ should be finite. In this note, we prove two theorems supporting this conjecture. For the first, le…

We give a new proof of a celebrated theorem of Dennis Johnson that asserts that the kernel of the Johnson homomorphism on the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group is generated by separating twists. In fact, we prove a more general result that also applies to "subsurface Torelli groups". Using this, we extend Joh…

Study Bergman kernels on Kähler orbifolds with specific properties.

We construct a series of homomorphisms from the $Y$-filtration on the monoid of homology cylinders to torsion modules via the mod $\mathbb{Z}$ reduction of the LMO functor. The restriction of our homomorphism to the lower central series of the Torelli group does not factor through Morita's refinement of the Johnson hom…

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

Strictly proper kernel scores are well-known tool in probabilistic forecasting, while characteristic kernels have been extensively investigated in the machine learning literature. We first show that both notions coincide, so that insights from one part of the literature can be used in the other. We then show that the m…

Consider the kernel Mag_g of the Magnus representation of the Torelli group and the kernel Bur_n of the Burau representation of the braid group. We prove that for g >= 2 and for n >= 6 the groups Mag_g and Bur_n have infinite rank first homology. As a consequence we conclude that neither group has any finite generating…

Uniform doubling property proven for specific Lie groups.

Study invariants of $\mathbb{Z}/p$-homology 3-spheres from abelianization of mapping class groups.

We show that the Grothendieck group associated to integral polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is free-abelian by providing an explicit basis. Moreover, we identify the involution on this polytope group given by reflection about the origin as a sum of Euler characteristic type. We also compute the kernel of the norm map sendin…

Derives a formula for fermion dimensions in spherically symmetric monopole backgrounds.

We prove that the first complex homology of the Johnson subgroup of the Torelli group $T_g$ is a non-trivial unipotent $T_g$-module for all $g\ge 4$ and give an explicit presentation of it as a $\Sym H_1(T_g,\C)$-module when $g\ge 6$. We do this by proving that, for a finitely generated group $G$ satisfying an assumpti…

Let $\mathcal{I}_g$ be the Torelli group of an oriented closed surface $S_g$ of genus $g$, that is, the kernel of the action of the mapping class group on the first integral homology group of $S_g$. We prove that the $k$th integral homology group of $\mathcal{I}_g$ contains a free abelian subgroup of infinite rank, pro…

Study mapping class group actions on cohomology of configuration spaces.

Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group K on a compact symplectic manifold. We find descriptions of the kernel of the Kirwan map corresponding to a regular value of the moment map $κ_K$. We start with the case when K is a torus T: we determine the kernel of the equivariant Kirwan map (defined by Goldin in …

The aim of this note is to introduce the notion of a $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebra and to prove some elementary properties of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras, the category of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras, the category of modules on a $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebra and extensions of $\operatorname{D}$-Lie algebras. …

Let $Σ$ be a surface with either boundary or marked points, equipped with an arbitrary framing. In this note we determine the action of the associated "framed mapping class group" on the homology of $Σ$ relative to its boundary (respectively marked points), describing the image as the kernel of a certain crossed homomo…

Let A denote either the automorphism group of the free group of rank n>=4 or the mapping class group of an orientable surface of genus n>=12 with at most 1 boundary component, and let G be either the subgroup of IA-automorphisms or the Torelli subgroup of A, respectively. For a natural number N denote by G_N the Nth te…

We give an explicit handy (and cocycle-free) description of the groupoid of weak maps between two crossed-modules in terms of certain digrams of groups which we we call a {\em butterflies}. We define composition of butterflies and this way find a bicategory that is naturally biequivalent to the 2-category of pointed ho…

Study confirms non-injective monodromy for even genus 4 translation surfaces.

New theory connects non-abelian bundle gerbes to abelian ones.

We formulate the deformation theory for instantons on nearly Kähler six-manifolds using spinors and Dirac operators. Using this framework we identify the space of deformations of an irreducible instanton with semisimple structure group with the kernel of an elliptic operator, and prove that abelian instantons are rigid…

Develops a new theory for neural systems stability and width effects.

Chern-Simons theory on a closed contact three-manifold is studied when the Lie group for gauge transformations is compact, connected and abelian. A rigorous definition of an abelian Chern-Simons partition function is derived using the Faddeev-Popov gauge fixing method. A symplectic abelian Chern-Simons partition functi…

Introduces semi-abelian generalized complex structures.

We discuss a general framework for cutting constructions and reinterpret in this setting the work on non-Abelian symplectic cuts by Weitsman. We then introduce two analogous non-Abelian modification constructions for hyperkähler manifolds: one modifies the topology significantly, the other gives metric deformations. We…
