Theory of $H$-graded manifolds and coverings of supermanifolds.

The abstract generalizes a construction for splitting supermanifolds and studies Lie supergroup cases.

Heegaard Floer homology, first introduced by P. Ozsvath and Z. Szabo, associates to a 3-manifold Y a family of relatively graded Abelian groups HF(Y,t), indexed by Spin^c structures t on Y. In the case that Y is a rational homology sphere, Ozsvath and Szabo lift the relative Z-grading to an absolute Q-grading. This ind…

Given a diagram of a link K in S^3, we write down a Heegaard diagram for the branched-double cover Sigma(K). The generators of the associated Heegaard Floer chain complex correspond to Kauffman states of the link diagram. Using this model we make some computations of the homology \hat{HF}(Sigma(K)) as a graded group. W…

New method finds unbranched covers with non-kernel homology.

The singular instanton Floer homology was defined by Kronheimer and Mrowka in connection with their proof that the Khovanov homology is an unknot detector. We study this theory for knots and two-component links using equivariant gauge theory on their double branched covers. We show that the special generator in the sin…

We generalise to the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded set-up a practical method for inspecting the (non)removability of parameters in zero-curvature representations for partial differential equations (PDEs) under the action of smooth families of gauge transformations. We illustrate the generation and elimination of parameters in …

Given a knot K in S^3, Seidel and Smith described in arXiv:1002.2648v3 a graded cohomology group Kh_{symp,inv}(K), a variant of their symplectic Khovanov cohomology group. They also constructed a spectral sequence converging to the Heegaard Floer-hat homology group for the connected sum of the double branched cover and…

Develops a new spectrum for annular links, recovering a transverse invariant at extreme gradings.

Real Heegaard Floer homology gets a new grading for certain 3-manifolds.

Study braid group actions on exceptional sequences using branched coverings.

In this paper, we introduce a sequence of invariants of a knot K in S^3: the knot Floer homology groups of the preimage of K in the m-fold cyclic branched cover over K. We exhibit the knot Floer homology in the m-fold branched cover as the categorification of a multiple of the Turaev torsion in the case where the m-fol…

We introduce a class of links strictly containing quasi-alternating links for which mod 2 reduced Khovanov homology is always thin. We compute the framed instanton homology for double branched covers of such links. Aligning certain dotted markings on a link with bundle data over the branched cover, we also provide many…

Lectures on link homology and its algebraic/geometric models.

We discuss a relationship between Khovanov- and Heegaard Floer-type homology theories for braids. Explicitly, we define a filtration on the bordered Heegaard-Floer homology bimodule associated to the double-branched cover of a braid and show that its associated graded bimodule is equivalent to a similar bimodule define…

Extended orbit model theory for shape analysis using graded group action framework.

To a link L in the 3-sphere, we associate a spectral sequence whose E^2 page is the reduced Khovanov homology of L and which converges to a version of the monopole Floer homology of the branched double cover. The pages E^k for k > 1 depend only on the mutation equivalence class of L. We define a mod 2 grading on the sp…

Ozsvath and Szabo defined an analog of the Froyshov invariant in the form of a correction term for the grading in Heegaard Floer homology. Applying this to the double cover of the 3-sphere branched over a knot K, we obtain an invariant delta of knot concordance. We show that delta is determined by the signature for alt…

Seidel and Smith introduced the graded fixed-point symplectic Khovanov cohomology group Kh_{symp,inv}(K) for a knot K inside S^{3}, as well as a spectral sequence converging to the Heegaard Floer homology-hat group for the connected sum of the double branched cover with a copy of S^{2}xS^{1}. The E^{1}-page of this spe…

The canonical trace and the Wodzicki residue on classical pseudodifferential operators on a closed manifold are characterised by their locality and shown to be preserved under lifting to the universal covering as a result of their local feature. As a consequence, we lift a class of spectral $ζ$-invariants using lifted …

Coloured Alexander polynomials form a sequence of non-semisimple quantum invariants coming from the representation theory of the quantum group $U_q(sl(2))$ at roots of unity. This sequence recovers the original Alexander polynomial as the first term. We give a topological model for this invariants, showing that they ca…

We consider the problem of integration of L_\infty-algebroids (differential graded manifolds) to L_\infty-groupoids. We first construct a "big" Kan simplicial manifold (Fréchet or Banach) whose points are solutions of a (generalized) Maurer-Cartan equation. The main analytic trick in our work is an integral transformat…

In this paper we will present a homological model for Coloured Jones Polynomials. For each colour $N \in \mathbb {N}$, we will describe the invariant $J_N(L,q)$ as a graded intersection pairing of certain homology classes in a covering of the configuration space on the punctured disk. This construction is based on the …

Constructive approach to Lie algebra gradings, computing maximal and enumerating all gradings.

The geometry of graded principal bundles is discussed in the framework of graded manifold theory of Kostant-Berezin-Leites. In particular, we prove that a graded principal bundle is globally trivial if and only if it admits a global graded section and, further, that the sheaf of vertical derivations on such a bundle co…

Let Y be a closed oriented 3-manifold with a contact form such that all Reeb orbits are nondegenerate. The embedded contact homology (ECH) index associates an integer to each relative 2-dimensional homology class of surfaces whose boundary is the difference between two unions of Reeb orbits. This integer determines the…

New model for Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants using Lagrangian intersections.

Three new types of graded Lie groups are constructed and analyzed.

In this paper we discuss the question of integrating differential graded Lie algebras (DGLA) to differential graded Lie groups (DGLG). We first recall the classical problem of integration in the context, and present the construction for (non-graded) differential Lie algebras. Then, we define the category of differentia…

We review the concept of a graded bundle as a natural generalisation of a vector bundle. Such geometries are particularly nice examples of more general graded manifolds. With hindsight there are many examples of graded bundles that appear in the existing literature. We start with a discussion of graded spaces, passing …

Graded Transformers embed algebraic structure in neural networks through graded transformations.

Combines generalized and graded geometry to explore new structures.

This paper aims at setting out the basics of $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifolds theory. We introduce $\mathbb{Z}$-graded manifolds from local models and give some of their properties. The requirement to work with a completed graded symmetric algebra to define functions is made clear. Moreover, we define vector fields and ex…

The paper examines smoothness in graded skew Clifford algebras.

The paper defines Z-graded hom-Lie superalgebras and explores their properties.

In this paper, we construct a canonical grading on bordered Heegaard Floer homology by homotopy classes of nonvanishing vector fields. This grading is a generalization of our construction of an absolute grading on Heegaard Floer homology and it extends the well-known grading with values in a noncommutative group define…

A pseudo $H$-type Lie algebra naturally gives rise to a conformal pseudo-subriemannian fundamental graded Lie algebras. In this paper we investigate the prolongations of the associated fundamental graded Lie algebra and the associated conformal pseudo-subriemannian fundamental graded Lie algebra. In particular, we show…

Characterizes fundamental groups of disjointly tree-graded spaces.

Given a unital associatve graded algebra we construct the graded q-differential algebra by means of a graded q-commutator, where q is a primitive N-th root of unity. The N-th power (N>1) of the differential of this graded q-differential algebra is equal to zero. We use our approach to construct the graded q-differentia…

In this paper we first state the classification of the prolongations of complex free fundamental graded Lie algebras. Next we introduce the notion of free pseudo-product fundamental graded Lie algebras and study the prolongations of complex free pseudo-product fundamental graded Lie algebras. Furthermore we investigate…
