Study super cluster algebras from super Plücker and Ptolemy relations.

In this paper, we construct invariants of braids, knots and links by studying dynamics of points in $\R^{2}$ and applying the Ptolemy relation $ac+bd=xy$.

New polynomial connects knot genus to 3-manifold geometry.

The Ptolemy variety for SL(2,C) is an invariant of a topological ideal triangulation of a compact 3-manifold M. It is closely related to Thurston's gluing equation variety. The Ptolemy variety maps naturally to the set of conjugacy classes of boundary-unipotent SL(2,C)-representations, but (like the gluing equation var…

Let S be a compact connected oriented surface with one boundary component. We extend each of Johnson's and Morita's homomorphisms to the Ptolemy groupoid of S. Our extensions are canonical and take values into finitely generated free abelian groups. The constructions are based on the 3-dimensional interpretation of the…

Paper develops techniques to create 3-manifold invariants.

The Ptolemy groupoid is a combinatorial groupoid generated by elementary moves on marked trivalent fatgraphs with three types of relations. Through the fatgraph decomposition of Teichmüller space, the Ptolemy groupoid is a mapping class group equivariant subgroupoid of the fundamental path groupoid of Teichmüller space…

Pursueing our investigations on the relations between Thompson groups and mapping class groups, we introduce the group $T^*$ (and its further generalizations) which is an extension of the Ptolemy-Thompson group $T$ by means of the full braid group $B_{\infty}$ on infinitely many strands. We prove that it is a finitely …

Based on earlier work of the latter two named authors on the higher super-Teichmueller space with $\mathcal{N}=1$, a component of the flat $OSp(1|2)$ connections on a punctured surface, here we extend to the case $\mathcal{N}=2$ of flat $OSp(2|2)$ connections. Indeed, we construct here coordinates on the higher super-T…

We introduce coordinates for a principal bundle $S\tilde T(F)$ over the super Teichmueller space $ST(F)$ of a surface $F$ with $s\geq 1$ punctures that extend the lambda length coordinates on the decorated bundle $\tilde T(F)=T(F)\times {\mathbb R}_+^s$ over the usual Teichmueller space $T(F)$. In effect, the action of…

New groups $Γ_n^k$ connect braids and 3-manifolds.

Lorentzian Ptolemy inequality linked to curvature bounds.

Researchers compute A-polynomials of manifolds using symplectic properties and cluster algebras.

Paper constructs braid invariants using tropical Ptolemy equation.

In a previous paper, we parametrized boundary-unipotent representations of a 3-manifold group into SL(n,C) using Ptolemy coordinates, which were inspired by A-coordinates on higher Teichmüller space due to Fock and Goncharov. In this paper, we parametrize representations into PGL(n,C) using shape coordinates which are …

New definition of twisted 1-loop invariant using Ptolemy coordinates.

The paper initiates a systematic study of Moebius structures and Ptolemy spaces. We conjecture that every compact Ptolemy space with circles and many space inversions is Moebius equivalent to the boundary at infinity of a rank one symmetric space of noncompact type. We prove this conjecture for the class of complex hyp…

Mathematical analysis shows Delisle-Euler map methods are optimal.

The Ptolemy coordinates for boundary-unipotent SL(n,C)-representations of a 3-manifold group were introduced in Garoufalidis-Thurston-Zickert inspired by the A-coordinates on higher Teichmüller space due to Fock and Goncharov. In this paper, we define the Ptolemy field of a (generic) PSL(2,\C)-representation and prove …

We define Ptolemy coordinates for representations that are not necessarily boundary-unipotent. This gives rise to a new algorithm for computing the SL(2,C) A-polynomial, and more generally the SL(n,C) A-varieties. We also give a formula for the Dehn invariant of an SL(n,C)-representation.

It is known that a knot complement (minus two points) decomposes into ideal octahedra with respect to a given knot diagram. In this paper, we study the Ptolemy variety for such an octahedral decomposition in perspective of Thurston's gluing equation variety. More precisely, we compute explicit Ptolemy coordinates in te…

The central extension of the Thompson group $T$ that arises in the quantized Teichmüller theory is 12 times the Euler class. This extension is obtained by taking a (partial) abelianization of the so-called braided Ptolemy-Thompson group introduced and studied in \cite{FK2}. We describe then the cyclic central extension…

In this paper we characterize compact extended Ptolemy metric spaces with many circles up to Möbius equivalence. This characterization yields a Möbius characterization of the $n$-dimensional spheres $S^n$ and hemispheres $S^n_+$ when endowed with their chordal metrics. In particular, we show that every compact extended…

We define a super analog of the classical Plücker embedding of the Grassmannian into a projective space. One of the difficulties of the problem is rooted in the fact that super exterior powers $Λ^{r|s}(V)$ are not a simple generalization from the completely even case (this works only for $r|0$ when it is possible to us…

We characterize the class of Gromov hyperbolic spaces, whose boundary at infinity allow canonical Möbius structures.

We start by describing how ideal triangulations on a surface degenerate under pinching of a multicurve. We use this process to construct a homomorphism from the Ptolemy groupoid of a surface to that of a pinched surface which is natural with respect to the action of the mapping class group. We then apply this construct…

The braided Ptolemy-Thompson group $T^*$ is an extension of the Thompson group $T$ by the full braid group $B_{\infty}$ on infinitely many strands. This group is a simplified version of the acyclic extension considered by Greenberg and Sergiescu, and can be viewed as a mapping class group of a certain infinite planar s…

Relational Graph Neural Networks improve fraud detection in Super-Apps.

With the usual definition of a super Hilbert space and a super unitary representation, it is easy to show that there are lots of super Lie groups for which the left-regular representation is not super unitary. I will argue that weakening the definition of a super Hilbert space (by allowing the super scalar product to b…

We characterize the boundary at infinity of a complex hyperbolic space as a compact Ptolemy space that satisfies four incidence axioms.

A Moebius structure (on a set X) is a class of metrics having the same cross-ratios. A Moebius structure is ptolemaic if it is invariant under inversion operations. The boundary at infinity of a CAT(-1) space is in a natural way a Moebius space, which is ptolemaic. We give a free of classification proof of the followin…

Quantization of universal Teichmüller space provides projective representations of the Ptolemy-Thompson group, which is isomorphic to the Thompson group $T$. This yields certain central extensions of $T$ by $\mathbb{Z}$, called dilogarithmic central extensions. We compute a presentation of the dilogarithmic central ext…

We consider a financial market with one riskless and one risky asset. The super-replication theorem states that there is no duality gap in the problem of super-replicating a contingent claim under transaction costs and the associated dual problem. We give two versions of this theorem. The first theorem relates a numéra…

We review a construction of a new class of algebraic curves, called super-A-polynomials, and their quantum generalizations. The super-A-polynomial is a two-parameter deformation of the A-polynomial known from knot theory or Chern-Simons theory with SL(2,C) gauge group. The two parameters of the super-A-polynomial encod…

Odd Khovanov homology gets a new algebraic action from super foams.

A super Lie group is a group whose operations are $G^{\infty}$ mappings in the sense of Rogers. Thus the underlying supermanifold possesses an atlas whose transition functions are $G^{\infty}$ functions. Moreover the images of our charts are open subsets of a graded infinite-dimensional Banach space since our space of …

Geometric correspondence between spinors and horospheres in hyperbolic space.

The paper describes superconformal structures on super Riemann surfaces using fatgraphs.

We define an associative algebra AS_h(S) generated by framed arcs and links over a punctured surface S which is a quantization of the Poisson algebra C(S) of arcs and curves on S. We then construct a Poisson algebra homomorphism from C(S) to the space of smooth functions on the decorated Teichmuller space endowed with …

Paper connects volumes of moduli spaces of super Riemann surfaces to integrals over stable Riemann surfaces.

In this paper we present the full details of the construction of a Morse-Floer type homology related to the super-quadratic perturbation of the Dirac-geodesic model. This homology is computed explicitly using a Leray-Serre type spectral sequence and this computation leads us to several existence results of Dirac-geodes…

During the last decades algebraization of space turned out to be a promising tool at the interface between Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. Starting with works by Gel'fand-Kolmogoroff and Gel'fand-Naimark, this branch developed as from the fortieth in two directions: algebraic characterization of usual geometric sp…

A super-conformal map and a minimal surface are factored into a product of two maps by modeling the Euclidean four-space and the complex Euclidean plane on the set of all quaternions. One of these two maps is a holomorphic map or a meromorphic map. These conformal maps adopt properties of a holomorphic function or a me…

For any cluster algebra whose underlying combinatorial data can be encoded by a bordered surface with marked points, we construct a geometric realization in terms of suitable decorated Teichmueller space of the surface. On the geometric side, this requires opening the surface at each interior marked point into an addit…

In an incomplete market the price of a claim f in general cannot be uniquely identified by no arbitrage arguments. However, the ``classical'' super replication price is a sensible indicator of the (maximum selling) value of the claim. When f satisfies certain pointwise conditions (e.g., f is bounded from below), the su…

We define an invariant $\nabla_G(M)$ of pairs M,G, where M is a 3-manifold obtained by surgery on some framed link in the cylinder $S\times I$, S is a connected surface with at least one boundary component, and G is a fatgraph spine of S. In effect, $\nabla_G$ is the composition with the $ι_n$ maps of Le-Murakami-Ohtsu…

We map stock market interactions to spin models to recover their hierarchical structure using a simulated annealing based Super-Paramagnetic Clustering (SPC) algorithm. This is directly compared to a modified implementation of a maximum likelihood approach we call Fast Super-Paramagnetic Clustering (f-SPC). The methods…
