Paper generalizes Kreweras triangle using universal sl_2 weight system.

The universal sl_2 invariant of string links has a universality property for the colored Jones polynomial of links, and takes values in the h-adic completed tensor powers of the quantized enveloping algebra of sl_2. In this paper, we exhibit explicit relationships between the universal sl_2 invariant and Milnor invaria…

We give a construction of Kirby weight systems associated to sl(2) and valued into the finite field Z/pZ. We show that it is possible to apply this sequence of weight systems on the universal invariant of framed link. We also show that the corresponding sequence admits a Fermat limit, which defines an asymptotic ration…

Formula for $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ weight system on complete bipartite graphs.

The purpose of this paper is twofold. On one hand, we introduce a modification of the dual canonical basis for invariant tensors of the 3-dimensional irreducible representation of $U_q(sl_2)$, given in terms of Jacobi diagrams, a central tool in quantum topology. On the other hand, we use this modified basis to study t…

We introduce a new series $R_k$, $k=2,3,4,\dots$, of integer valued weight systems. The value of the weight system $R_k$ on a chord diagram is a signed number of cycles of even length $2k$ in the intersection graph of the diagram. We show that this value depends on the intersection graph only. We check that for small o…

The universal sl_2 invariant of bottom tangles has a universality property for the colored Jones polynomial of links. Habiro conjectured that the universal sl_2 invariant of boundary bottom tangles takes values in certain subalgebras of the completed tensor powers of the quantized enveloping algebra U_h(sl_2) of the Li…

We generalize the Khovanov-Rozansky cohomology for n=2 by means of a homogeneous potential that depends on two parameters, to obtain the universal Khovanov-Rozansky sl(2) link cohomology. This theory is equivalent to the universal foam sl(2) link cohomology, after tensoring both theories with appropriate rings.

New theory maps spin structures on surfaces, generating key elements.

We present an algebraic method to study four-dimensional toric varieties by lifting matrix equations from the special linear group ${\rm SL}_2({\mathbb Z})$ to its preimage in the universal cover of ${\rm SL}_2({\mathbb R})$. With this method we recover the classification of two-dimensional toric fans, and obtain a des…

Quantum cluster algebra constructed from web skein relations on surfaces.

Based on the analogies between knot theory and number theory, we study a deformation theory for SL_2-representations of knot groups, following after Mazur's deformation theory of Galois representations. Firstly, by employing the pseudo-SL_2-representations, we prove the existence of the universal deformation of a given…

Echo state networks with random weights can approximate any continuous system.

Develops method to construct Lie algebra weight system kernel using Vogel algebra.

We construct the universal sl(2)-tangle cohomology using an approach with webs and dotted foams. This theory depends on two parameters, and for the case of links it is a categorification of the unnormalized Jones polynomial of the link.

We define two functors from Elias and Khovanov's diagrammatic Soergel category, one targeting Clark-Morrison-Walker's category of disoriented sl(2) cobordisms and the other the category of (universal) sl(3) foams.

A link L is called Brunnian if every proper sublink of L is trivial. Similarly, a bottom tangle T is called Brunnian if every proper subtangle of T is trivial. In this paper, we give a small subalgebra of the n-fold completed tensor power of U_h(sl_2) in which the universal sl_2 invariant of n-component Brunnian bottom…

A bottom tangle is a tangle in a cube consisting of arc components whose boundary points are on a line in the bottom square of the cube. A ribbon bottom tangle is a bottom tangle whose closure is a ribbon link. For every n-component ribbon bottom tangle T, we prove that the universal invariant J_T of T associated to th…

Paper defines and computes a new weight system for gl_N Lie algebra.

Graphs and local systems count multiwebs.

We construct a cohomology theory for oriented links using singular cobordisms and a special type of 2-dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT), categorifying the quantum sl(2) invariant. In particular, we give a description of the universal dot-free sl(2) foam cohomology for links via a TQFT.

Study models of Gödel Universe using Lie groups and Iwasawa decomposition.

In this paper I define certain interesting 2-functors from the Khovanov-Lauda 2-category which categorifies quantum sl(k), for any k>1, to a 2-category of universal sl(3) foams with corners. For want of a better name I use the term "foamation" to indicate those 2-functors. I conjecture the existence of similar 2-functo…

The paper explores weight systems and their applications to graph and embedded graph invariants.

The paper constructs bases for cluster varieties using ${ m SL}_3$-webs and laminations.

We show how to use Bar-Natan's `divide and conquer' approach to computations to efficiently compute the universal sl(2) dotted foam cohomology groups, even for big knots and links. We also describe a purely topological version of the sl(2) foam theory, in the sense that no dots are needed on foams.

In this thesis we define and study a categorification of the sl(N)-link polynomial using foams, for N\geq 3. For N=3 we define the universal sl(3)-link homology, using foams, which depends on three parameters and show that it is functorial, up to scalars, with respect to link cobordisms. Our theory is integral. We show…

Study of a series of Lorentzian structures on SL(2,R) with SO(1,1) symmetry.

Lectures introduce evaluation of SL(3) foams and link homology.

One computes the cohomology of the projective embedding of sl(m+1,R) acting on the differential operators on densities on R^m of various weights. This cohomology is non vanishing only for some special critical values of the weights. This allows us first to explain some strange feature pointed out by Gargoubi in his cla…

For every positive integer $n$ we construct a bigraded homology theory for links, such that the corresponding invariant of the unknot is closely related to the U(n)-equivariant cohomology ring of $\mathbb{CP}^{n-1}$; our construction specializes to the Khovanov-Rozansky $sl_n$-homology. We are motivated by the "univers…

We characterize the universal covering of connected analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which admit a non-trivial and isometric action of the simple Lie group $SL(3,\mathbb{R})$ with a dense orbit preserving a finite volume. If such manifold is also weakly irreducible we prove that $M$ is isometric to, or a quotient s…

Computes a finite presentation for P(SL(2,Z)) from spin mapping class group.

We investigate the filtered theory corresponding to the universal sl(2) foam cohomology $H_{a,h}$ for links, where a and h are complex numbers. We show that there is a spectral sequence converging to $H_{a,h}$ which is invariant under the Reidemeister moves, and whose E1 term is isomorphic to Khovanov homology. This sp…

Let S be a path-connected, locally-compact CW-complex, and let M be a subcomplex with finitely-many components. A `decorated SL_2(C)-local system' is an SL_2(C)-local system on S, together with a choice of `decoration' at each component of M (a section of the stalk of an associated vector bundle). We study the (decorat…

We present a universal knot polynomials for 2- and 3-strand torus knots in adjoint representation, by universalization of appropriate Rosso-Jones formula. According to universality, these polynomials coincide with adjoined colored HOMFLY and Kauffman polynomials at SL and SO/Sp lines on Vogel's plane, and give their ex…
