New invariant connects knot homology and BPS series for plumbed knot complements.

The paper proves rigidity for complex Kleinian groups.

Non-rigidity degree of a lattice $L$, nrd$L$, is dimension of the L-type domain to which $L$ belongs. We complete here the table of nrd's of all root lattices and their duals; namely, the hardest remaining case of $D_n^*$, and the case of $E_7^*$ are decided. We describe explicitly the $L$-type domain ${\cal D}(D_n^*)$…

We prove that an irreducible lattice in a semisimple algebraic group is virtually isomorphic to an arithmetic lattice if and only if it admits a faithful self-similar action on a rooted tree of finite valency.

We find explicit bases for naturally defined lattices over a ring of algebraic integers in the SO(3) TQFT-modules of surfaces at roots of unity of odd prime order. Some applications relating quantum invariants to classical 3-manifold topology are given.

Study on unimodality of plucking polynomial with delay function.

By studying the action of the Weyl group of a simple Lie algebra on its root lattice, we construct torsion free subgroups of small and explicitly determined index in a large infinite class of Coxeter groups. One spin-off is the construction of hyperbolic manifolds of very small volume in up to 8 dimensions.

Study series invariants for plumbed 3-manifolds and their properties.

New formulas derived for lattice crossing coefficients, improving computation efficiency.

We find bases for naturally defined lattices over certain rings of integers in the SU(2)-TQFT-theory modules of surfaces. We consider the TQFT where the Kauffman's A variable is a root of unity of order four times an odd prime. As an application, we show that the Frohman Kania-Bartoszynska ideal invariant for 3-manifol…

New invariant unifies two theories of 3-manifolds, recovering quantum invariants.

Restricts quantum representations of mapping class groups to integral coefficients.

For a Catalan state $C$ of a lattice crossing $L\left( m,n\right)$ with no returns on one side, we find its coefficient $C\left( A\right)$ in the Relative Kauffman Bracket Skein Module expansion of $L\left( m,n\right)$. We show, in particular, that $C\left( A\right)$ can be found using the plucking polynomial of a …

Paper finds coefficients of Catalan states using Θ_A-state expansion.

New PL invariant classifies K3 surface degenerations.

We use the consistency approach to classify discrete integrable 3D equations of the octahedron type. They are naturally treated on the root lattice $Q(A_3)$ and are consistent on the multidimensional lattice $Q(A_N)$. Our list includes the most prominent representatives of this class, the discrete KP equation and its S…

Orbifold uniformization of complex algebraic variety via polystable parabolic Higgs bundle

Let $G$ be the group of complex points of a real semi-simple Lie group whose fundamental rank is equal to 1, e.g. $G= \SL_2 (\C) \times \SL_2 (\C)$ or $\SL_3 (\C)$. Then the fundamental rank of $G$ is $2,$ and according to the conjecture made in \cite{BV}, lattices in $G$ should have 'little' --- in the very weak sense…

Infinite families of quantum modular invariants for 3-manifolds are discovered.

Improved bounds on acylindricity for right-angled Artin groups.

We generalize the Toda lattice hierarchy by considering N+M dependent variables. We construct roots and logarithms of the Lax operator which are uniquely defined operators with coefficients that are $ε$-series of differential polynomials in the dependent variables, and we use them to provide a Lax pair definition of th…

We show that, in an Artin-Tits group of spherical type, the intersection of two parabolic subgroups is a parabolic subgroup. Moreover, we show that the set of parabolic subgroups forms a lattice with respect to inclusion. This extends to all Artin-Tits groups of spherical type a result that was previously known for bra…

Williams and Beer (2010) proposed a nonnegative mutual information decomposition, based on the construction of redundancy lattices, which allows separating the information that a set of variables contains about a target variable into nonnegative components interpretable as the unique information of some variables not p…

New property identifies arithmetic lattices from nonuniform lattices.

Research finds bounds for knots in hexagonal lattice and classifies 11-stick knots.

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…

Course on arithmetic lattices at EPFL.

We give a simple example showing that a knot or link diagram that lies in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^2$ lattice is not necessarily the projection of a lattice stick knot or link in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^3$ lattice, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for when a knot or link diagram that lies in the ${\mathbb{Z}}^2$ lat…

New rigidity theorem for product of lattices.

We explore hybrid subgroups of certain non-arithmetic lattices in $\mathrm{PU}(2,1)$. We show that all of Mostow's lattices are virtually hybrids; moreover, we show that some of these non-arithmetic lattices are hybrids of two non-commensurable arithmetic lattices in $\mathrm{PU}(1,1)$.

This paper studies the covolumes of nonuniform arithmetic lattices in PU(n, 1). We determine the smallest covolume nonuniform arithmetic lattices for each n, the number of minimal covolume lattices for each n, and study the growth of the minimal covolume as n varies. In particular, there is a unique lattice (up to conj…

The paper finds incommensurable lattices in complex models of Baumslag-Solitar groups.

Proves a lattice version of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem.

Sequence discriminative training criteria have long been a standard tool in automatic speech recognition for improving the performance of acoustic models over their maximum likelihood / cross entropy trained counterparts. While previously a lattice approximation of the search space has been necessary to reduce computat…

Vertex distortion measures how far lattice knots deviate from straight lines.

Regular integer lattices are characterized by k unit vectors that build up their generator matrices. These have rank k for D-lattices, and are rank-deficient for A-lattices, for E_6 and E_7. We count lattice points inside hypercubes centered at the origin for all three types, as if classified by maximum infinity norm i…

In this paper we use techniques from convex projective geometry to produce many new examples of thin subgroups of lattices in special linear groups that are isomorphic to the fundamental groups of finite volume hyperbolic manifolds. More specifically, we show that for a large class of arithmetic lattices in SO(n,1) it …

We show that the set of even positive definite lattices that arise from smooth, simply-connected 4-manifolds bounded by a fixed homology 3-sphere can depend on more than the ranks of the lattices. We provide two homology 3-spheres with distinct sets of such lattices, each containing a distinct nonempty subset of the ra…

The paper proves residual finiteness of certain lattices and constructs surfaces with specific fundamental groups.

A celebrated theorem of Hadwiger states that the Euler-Poincaré characteristic is the the unique invariant and continuous valuation on the distributive lattice of compact polyhedra in R^n that assigns value one to each convex non-empty such polyhedron. This paper provides an analogue of Hadwiger's result for finitely p…

The cubic lattice stick index of a knot type is the least number of sticks necessary to construct the knot type in the 3-dimensional cubic lattice. We present the cubic lattice stick index of various knots and links, including all (p,p+1)-torus knots, and show how composing and taking satellites can be used to obtain t…
