The paper explains the topological origin of the distinction between incidence theorems over division rings and fields.

A p-periodic 3-manifold is a 3-manifold that admits a Z_{p}-action whose fixed point set is a circle. We give a congruence relates the quantum invariant of a p-periodic 3-manifold associated to any modular category over an integrally closed ground ring and the corresponding quantum invariant of its orbit space.

In this thesis, we study extensions of the theory of Riemannian submanifolds in two directions. First, we will show how Riemannian geometry and submanifold theory in particular, can be generalized using the notion of 'Rinehart spaces', and it will be demonstrated how the developed framework unifies some existing and ne…

Constructs new topological theories in 2D not fitting standard axioms.

A generalization of the Euler-Plateau problem to account for the energy contribution due to twisting of the bounding loop is proposed. Euler-Lagrange equations are derived in a parameterized setting and a bifurcation analysis is performed. A pair of dimensionless parameters govern bifurcations from a flat, circular gro…

Researchers explore valuations on polyhedra and topological arrangements without imposing algebraic structures.

For each Frobenius algebra there is defined a skein module of surfaces embedded in a given 3-manifold and bounding a prescribed curve system in the boundary. The skein relations are local and generate the kernel of a certain natural extension of the corresponding topological quantum field theory. In particular the skei…

Model tracks structural changes in Brownian particle configurations on a sphere.

In this paper, we study the perturbative aspects of the half-twisted variant of Witten's topological A-model coupled to a non-dynamical gauge field with Kahler target space X being a G-manifold. Our main objective is to furnish a purely physical interpretation of the equivariant cohomology of the chiral de Rham complex…

In this paper we push forward results on the invariant ${\cal F}$-module of a virtual knot investigated by the first named author where ${\cal F}$ is the algebra with two invertible generators $A,B$ and one relation $A^{-1}B^{-1}AB-B^{-1}AB= BA^{-1}B^{-1}A-A$. For flat knots and links the two sides of the relation equa…

The paper develops further the theory of quandle rings which was introduced by the authors in a recent work. Orderability of quandles is defined and many interesting examples of orderable quandles are given. It is proved that quandle rings of left or right orderable quandles which are semi-latin have no zero-divisors. …

Lie-Rinehart algebras over $C^\infty$-rings defined and studied.

A new invariant of Poisson manifolds, a Poisson K-ring, is introduced. Hypothetically, this invariant is more tractable than such invariants as Poisson (co)homology. A version of this invariant is also defined for arbitrary algebroids. Basic properties of the Poisson K-ring are proved and the Poisson K-rings are calcul…

Investigates differential smoothness of 3D skew polynomial rings.

We define a notion of stability for chiral ring of four dimensional N=1 theory by introducing test chiral rings and generalized a maximization. We conjecture that a chiral ring is the chiral ring of a superconformal field theory if and only if it is stable. We then study N=1 field theory derived from D3 branes probing …

A classical theorem due to Quillen (1969) identifies the unitary bordism ring with the Lazard ring, which classifies the universal one-dimensional commutative formal group law. We prove an equivariant generalization of this result by identifying the homotopy theoretic $\mathbb{Z}/2$-equivariant unitary bordism ring, in…

New hyperbolic manifolds found with same trace ring.

We calculate the intersection ring of three-dimensional graph manifolds with rational coefficients and give an algebraic characterization of these rings when the manifold's underlying graph is a tree. We are able to use this characterization to show that the intersection ring obstructs arbitrary three-manifolds from be…

Homological algebra used to study local equivalence of complex rings.

In this paper we compute a presentation for the group of ring motions of the split union of a Hopf link with Euclidean components and a Euclidean circle. A key part of this work is the study of a short exact sequence of groups of ring motions of general ring links in $\mathbb{R}^3$. This sequence allowed us to build th…

We show that solutions of Thurston equation on triangulated 3-manifolds in a commutative ring carry topological information. We also introduce a homogeneous Thurston equation and a commutative ring associated to triangulated 3-manifolds.

We build extensions of the arc rings, relate their centers to the cohomology rings of the Springer varieties, and categorify all level two representations of quantum sl(N).

Differential K-theory gets a $λ$-ring structure.

Division algorithm for surface group rings yields standard complexes and cohomological dimensions.

New Frobenius manifold structures found on Dicyclic group orbits.

We view strict ring spectra as generalized rings. The study of their algebraic K-theory is motivated by its applications to the automorphism groups of compact manifolds. Partial calculations of algebraic K-theory for the sphere spectrum are available at regular primes, but we seek more conceptual answers in terms of lo…

For every abelian compact Lie group A, we prove that the homotopical A-equivariant complex bordism ring, introduced by tom Dieck (1970), is isomorphic to the A-equivariant Lazard ring, introduced by Cole-Greenlees-Kriz (2000). This settles a conjecture of Greenlees. We also show an analog for homotopical real bordism r…

A C-infinity ring is a set equipped with n-ary operations corresponding to smooth n-ary functions on the real line (satisfying natural axioms). We prove that the cosimplicial abelian group associated to the de Rham complex of Euclidean space has the structure of a cosimplicial C-infinity ring. We also analyse the notio…

New method uses quandle rings to distinguish knots and their mirrors.

Constructs differential forms on $C^\infty$-ringed spaces.

We prove that the Steinberg module of the special linear group of a quadratic imaginary number ring which is not Euclidean is not generated by integral apartments. Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, this shows that the Steinberg module of a number ring is generated by integral apartments if and only if the ri…

L. Kauffman conjectured that a particular solution of the Chinese Rings puzzle is the simplest possible. We prove his conjecture by using low-dimensional topology and group theory. We notice also a surprising connection between the Chinese Rings and Habiro moves (related to Vassiliev invariants).

We present a deRham model for Chen-Ruan cohomology ring of abelian orbifolds. We introduce the notion of \emph{twist factors} so that formally the stringy cohomology ring can be defined without going through pseudo-holomorphic orbifold curves. Thus our model can be viewed as the classical description of Chen-Ruan cohom…

The ideal of relations in the (small) quantum cohomology ring of the generalized flag manifold $G/B$ has been determined by B. Kim. We are going to point out a limited number of properties that, if they are satisfied by an $R[q_1,...,q_l]$-bilinear product $\circ$ on $H^*(G/B)\otimes R[q_1,...,q_l$, then the ring $(H^*…
