Coupled nonlinear integrable systems are generated from usual zero curvature equation. The relevant Maurer-Cartan forms are constructed by combining suitably chosen matrices (nilpotent, Hadamard, idempotent and k-idempotent) and Lie algebraic elements via Kronecker product. In each case a closure type property among th…

Analytic structure found on manifold of idempotent operators.

We use a skein-theoretic version of the Hecke algebras of type A to present three-dimensional diagrammatic views of Gyoja's idempotent elements, based closely on the corresponding Young diagram. In this context we give straightforward calculations for the eigenvalues of two natural central elements in the Hecke algebra…

Simplified proofs for splitting homotopy idempotents.

The paper explores idempotents in quandle rings and their connections to quandle coverings.

We describe a general method to construct completely bounded idempotent mappings on operator spaces, starting from amenable semigroups of completely bounded mappings. We then explore several applications of that method to injective operator spaces, fixed points of completely contractive mappings, Toeplitz operators, dy…

We investigate infinitesimal properties of sets of ordered $n$-uples of idempotents in a symmetric Banach $*$-algebra. These sets are called flag manifolds and carry several interesting bundles that hold an important role in some areas of operator theory. In this direction, we introduce and study Stiefel bundles on fla…

Study when idempotent barycenter map results in trivial bundle.

New link colorings using quandle rings and idempotents are stronger than existing methods.

The paper explores zero-divisors and idempotents in quandle rings, proving their absence in certain cases.

The paper classifies self-replicating 3D shapes using algebraic models.

This paper studies Jones-Wenzl idempotents in the twisted I-bundle over the Möbius band.

Formulates a new connection between topological and geometric categories.

In this paper, we define the eta cochain form and prove its regularity when the kernel of a family of Dirac operators is a vector bundle. We decompose the eta form as a pairing of the eta cochain form with the Chern character of an idempotent matrix and we also decompose the Chern character of the index bundle for a fi…

By studying the Frölicher-Nijenhuis decomposition of cohomology operators (that is, derivations $D$ of the exterior algebra $Ω(M)$ with $\mathbb{Z}-$degree $1$ and $D^2=0$), we describe new examples of Lie algebroid structures on the tangent bundle $TM$ (and its complexification $T^{\mathbb{C}}M$) constructed from pre-…

In this paper we study vector fields on the big phase space of Gromov-Witten theory which are idempotents of the quantum product. Such vector fields can be used to simplify universal equations for higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants.

Let p an integer. We define a family of idempotents (and nilpotents) in the Temperley - Lieb algebras at 4p-th roots of unity which generalize the usual Jones-Wenzl idempotents. These new idempotents correspond to finite dimentional simple and projective indecomposable representations of the restricted quantum group Uq…

We found a way to code meanders and show they are idempotent.

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

In this paper we use 3-manifold techniques to illuminate the structure of the category of tangles. In particular, we show that every idempotent morphism $A$ in such a category naturally splits as $A=B\circ C$ such that $C\circ B$ is an identity morphism.

The Bass trace conjectures are placed in the setting of homotopy idempotent selfmaps of manifolds. For the strong conjecture, this is achieved via a formulation of Geoghegan. The weaker form of the conjecture is reformulated as a comparison of ordinary and L^2-Lefschetz numbers.

We outline the theory of sets with distributive operations: multishelves and multispindles, with examples provided by semi-lattices, lattices and skew lattices. For every such a structure we define multi-term distributive homology and show some of its properties. The main result is a complete formula for the homology o…

Constructs index for elliptic operators using rapidly decaying kernels.

A contact manifold is a manifold equipped with a distribution of codimension one that satisfies a `maximal non-integrability' condition. A standard example of a contact structure is a strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold, and operators of analytic interest are the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator and the Szego projector…

We construct complexes $P_{1^n}$ of Soergel bimodules which categorify the Young idempotents corresponding to one-column partitions. A beautiful recent conjecture of Gorsky-Rasmussen relates the Hochschild homology of categorified Young idempotents with the flag Hilbert scheme. We prove this conjecture for $P_{1^n}$ an…

In this paper we study regular irreducible algebraic monoids over $\fldc$ equipped with the euclidean topology. It is shown that, in such monoids, the Green classes and the spaces of idempotents in the Green classes all have natural manifold structures. The interactions of these manifold structures and the semigroup st…

A topology on a set $X$ is the same as a projection (i.e. an idempotent linear operator) $cl:2^X\to 2^X$ satisfying $A\subset cl(A)$ for all $A\subset X$. That's a good way to summarize Kuratowski's closure operator. Basic geometry on a set $X$ is a dot product $\cdot:2^X\times 2^X\to 2^Y$. Its equivalent form is an or…

The Hecke algebra H_n contains well known idempotents E_λ which are indexed by Young diagrams with n cells. They were originally described by Gyoja. A skein theoretical description of E_λ was given by Aiston and Morton. The closure of E_λ becomes an element Q_λ of the skein of the annulus. In this skein, they are known…

We use the Jones-Wenzl idempotents to construct a basis of Temperley-Lieb algebra TL_n. This allows a short calculation for a Gram determinant of Lickorish's bilinear form on the Temperley-Lieb algebra.

The definition of the covariant space-time averaging scheme for the objects (tensors, geometric objects, etc.) on differentiable metric manifolds with a volume n-form, which has been proposed for the formulation of macroscopic gravity, is analyzed. An overview of the space-time averaging procedure in Minkowski spacetim…

The nonzero level sets in $n$-dimensional flat affine space of a translationally homogeneous function are improper affine spheres if and only if the Hessian determinant of the function is equal to a nonzero constant multiple of the $n$th power of the function. The exponentials of the characteristic polynomials of certa…

We conjecture that the complex of Soergel bimodules associated with the full twist braid is categorically diagonalizable, for any finite Coxeter group. This utilizes the theory of categorical diagonalization introduced earlier by the authors. We prove our conjecture in type $A$, and as a result we obtain a categorifica…

The Temperley-Lieb algebra is a fundamental component of SU(2) topological quantum field theories. We construct chain complexes corresponding to minimal idempotents in the Temperley-Lieb algebra. Our results apply to the framework which determines Khovanov homology. Consequences of our work include semi-orthogonal deco…

We show that the Kauffman bracket skein module of a cylinder over the torus embeds as a subalgebra of the noncommutative torus. Using this we derive nice formulas for the Jones-Wenzl idempotents and analyze the structure of the Kauffman bracket skein module of the unknot as a module over the Kauffman bracket skein modu…

Just as the Temperley-Lieb algebra is a good place to compute the Jones polynomial, the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a disk with $2k$ colored points on the boundary, each with color $n$, is a good place to compute the $n^{th}$ colored Jones polynomial. Here, this colored skein algebra is shown to be a cellular alg…

In this paper we generalize cellular algebras by allowing different partial orderings relative to fixed idempotents. For these relative cellular algebras we classify and construct simple modules, and we obtain other characterizations in analogy to cellular algebras. We also give several examples of algebras that are re…

We use super $q$-Howe duality to provide diagrammatic presentations of an idempotented form of the Hecke algebra and of categories of $\mathfrak{gl}_N$-modules (and, more generally, $\mathfrak{gl}_{N|M}$-modules) whose objects are tensor generated by exterior and symmetric powers of the vector representations. As an ap…

We show that, at the prime $p=2$, the spectrum $Σ^{-n}D(n)$ splits off the Madsen-Tillmann spectrum $MTO(n)=BO(n)^{-γ_n}$ which is compatible with the classic splitting of $M(n)$ off $BO(n)_+$. For $n=2$, together with our previous splitting result on Madsen-Tillmann spectra, this shows that $MTO(2)$ is homotopy equiva…

In this paper, we construct a new homology theory for semi-groups satisfying the self distributivity axiom or the idempotency axiom. Next, we consider the geometric realization corresponding to the homology theory. We continue with the comparison of this homology theory with one term and two term (rack) homology theori…

Let $A$ be a positive injective operator in a Hilbert space (\h, <,>), and denote by [,] the inner product defined by A: [f,g]=<Af,g>. A closed subspace $\s \subset \h$ is called A-compatible if there exists a closed complement for $\s$, which is orthogonal to $\s$ with respect to the inner product [,]. Equivalently, i…

Classifies connected shelves up to order six.

We show that for smooth manifolds X and Y, any isomorphism between the special algebra of Colombeau generalized functions on X, resp. Y is given by composition with a unique Colombeau generalized function from Y to X. We also identify the multiplicative linear functionals from the special algebra of Colombeau generaliz…

Quandle homology was defined from rack homology as the quotient by a subcomplex corresponding to the idempotency, for invariance under the type I Reidemeister move. Similar subcomplexes have been considered for various identities of racks and moves on diagrams. We observe common aspects of these identities and subcompl…

We introduce a quotient of the affine Temperley-Lieb category that encodes all weight-preserving linear maps between finite-dimensional sl(2)-representations. We study the diagrammatic idempotents that correspond to projections onto extremal weight spaces and find that they satisfy similar properties as Jones-Wenzl pro…

We show that the symmetry classes of torsion-free covariant derivatives $\nabla T$ of r-times covariant tensor fields T can be characterized by Littlewood-Richardson products $σ[1]$ where $σ$ is a representation of the symmetric group $S_r$ which is connected with the symmetry class of T. If $σ= [λ]$ is irreducible the…

In this paper, we prove that infinitesimal equivariant Chern-Connes characters are well-defined. We decompose an equivariant index as a pairing of infinitesimal equivariant Chern-Connes characters with the Chern character of an idempotent matrix. We compute the limit of infinitesimal equivariant Chern- Connes character…

Researchers compute link surgery modules for 2-component L-space links.

We define the representation ring of a saturated fusion system $\mathcal F$ as the Grothendieck ring of the semiring of $\mathcal F$-stable representations, and study the dimension functions of $\mathcal F$-stable representations using the transfer map induced by the characteristic idempotent of $\mathcal F$. We find a…
