Developed a theory for $SU_3$-skein algebras on surfaces, proving finitely generated property.

A family of algebraic curves covering a projective variety $X$ is called a web of curves on $X$ if it has only finitely many members through a general point of $X$. A web of curves on $X$ induces a web-structure, in the sense of local differential geometry, in a neighborhood of a general point of $X$. We study how the …

Foams have Lie algebra symmetries that simplify web state spaces.

We give an explicit graded cellular basis of the $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-web algebra $K_S$. In order to do this, we identify Kuperberg's basis for the $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-web space $W_S$ with a version of Leclerc-Toffin's intermediate crystal basis and we identify Brundan, Kleshchev and Wang's degree of tableaux with the weigh…

The paper provides coordinates for ${ m SL}_3$-web diagrams on surfaces.

New structure for quantum algebra representations.

Proves Khovanov homology functoriality and positivity for gl2 webs.

In this paper we define an explicit basis for the $\mathfrak{gl}_n$-web algebra $H_n(\vec{k})$ (the $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ generalization of Khovanov's arc algebra) using categorified $q$-skew Howe duality. Our construction is a $\mathfrak{gl}_n$-web version of Hu--Mathas' graded cellular basis and has two major application…

In this paper we use Kuperberg's $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-webs and Khovanov's $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-foams to define a new algebra $K^S$, which we call the $\mathfrak{sl}_3$-web algebra. It is the $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ analogue of Khovanov's arc algebra. We prove that $K^S$ is a graded symmetric Frobenius algebra. Furthermore, we cate…

We investigate the space of abelian relations of planar webs admitting infinitesimal automorphisms. As an application, we construct 4k-14 new algebraic families of global exceptionnal k-webs on the projective plane, for each k >4.

After shortly recalling the construction of the Khovanov-Kuperberg algebras, we give a characterisation of indecomposable web-modules. It says that a web-module is indecomposable if and only if one can deduce it directly from the Kuperberg bracket (via a Schur lemma argument). The proofs relies on the construction of i…

Gronwall conjecture states that a planar 3-web which admits more than one distinct linearization is locally equivalent to an algebraic web. We give a partial answer to the conjecture in the affirmative for the class of planar 3-webs with the web curvature that vanishes to order three at a point. The differential relati…

New algebraic geometry and statistical manifold connections proven.

Study of $\mathfrak{sp}_4$-webs on surfaces, proving cluster algebra structure.

We compare two important bases of an irreducible representation of the symmetric group: the web basis and the Specht basis. The web basis has its roots in the Temperley-Lieb algebra and knot-theoretic considerations. The Specht basis is a classic algebraic and combinatorial construction of symmetric group representatio…

Temperley-Lieb algebras have been generalized to sl(3) web spaces. Since a cubic bipartite planar graph with suitable directions on edges is a web, the quantum sl(3) invariants naturally extend to all cubic bipartite planar graphs. First we completely classify them as a connected sum of primes webs. We also provide a m…

Study $G_2$ skein algebra elements using Kuperberg webs and threading operations.

We recall a construction of Mackaay, Pan and Tubbenhauer of the algebras $K^ε$ which allow to understand the $sl_3$ homology for links in a local way (i.e. for tangles). Then, by studying the combinatorics of the Kuperberg bracket, we give a large family of non-elliptic webs whose associated projective $K^ε$-modules ar…

We describe the global structure of holomorphic webs in codimension one, and in particular their singularity (caustic). Various concepts are introduced, which have no interest locally near a regular point, such as the type, the reducibility, the quasi-smoothness, the CI property (complete intersection), the dicriticity…

Let G be a simple algebraic group. Labelled trivalent graphs called webs can be used to product invariants in tensor products of minuscule representations. For each web, we construct a configuration space of points in the affine Grassmannian. Via the geometric Satake correspondence, we relate these configuration spaces…

The Gronwall conjecture states that a planar 3-web of foliations which admits more than one distinct linearizations is locally equivalent to an algebraic web. We propose an analogue of the Gronwall conjecture for the 3-web of foliations by Legendrian curves in a contact three manifold. The Legendrian Gronwall conjectur…

We define parameter dependent $\mathfrak{gl}_2$-foams and their associated web and arc algebras, and verify that they specialize to several known $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ or $\mathfrak{gl}_2$ constructions related to higher link and tangle invariants. Moreover, we show that all these specializations are equivalent, and we ded…

Given a simple algebraic group $G$, a web is a directed trivalent graph with edges labelled by dominant minuscule weights. There is a natural surjection of webs onto the invariant space of tensor products of minuscule representations. Following the work of Westbury, we produce a set of webs for $\SL_n$ which form a bas…

Quantum cluster algebra constructed from web skein relations on surfaces.

We suggest a new, alternative algebraic method for computation of geometrical quantities by means of the embedding of local loops into Lie groups.

Study of webs in quantum type C, proving equivalence to quantum representations.

New model for rational tropical points using $\mathfrak{sp}_4$-webs and measures.

In the complex setting, let $F(x,y,y')=0$ be an analytic or algebraic differential equation with $y'$-degree $d$. We deal with the qualitative study of such equations through the geometry of the planar $d$-web generated by the generic family of integral curves. Infinitesimal symmetries of these configurations are discu…

We propose the Legendrian web in a contact three manifold as a second order generalization of the planar web. An Abelian relation for a Legendrian web is analogously defined as an additive equation among the first integrals of its foliations. For a class of Legendrian $\, d$-webs defined by simple second order ODE's, w…

We study local ($n+1$)-webs of codimension 1 on a manifold of dimension $n.$ We give a complete description of their possible Lie algebras of infinitesimal diffeomorphisms. More precisely we show that these Lie algebras are direct products of sub-algebras which are isomorphic to $\frak{sl}(2),$ to the non-commutative 2…

New proof of SL(n) skein algebra for twice punctured sphere, showing it's a polynomial algebra.

We prove that a d-web near a point in n-space, where n is greater than 2 and d is greater than 2n-1, is equivalent to an algebraic web, if it has maximal rank or, more generally, if it has (2d - 3n + 1) abelian relations the 1-jets of which are linearly independent. In case n=3, this is a theorem of Bol. The general ca…

Kuperberg introduced web spaces for some Lie algebras which are generalizations of the Kauffman bracket skein module on a disk with marked points. We derive some formulas for $A_1$ and $A_2$ clasped web spaces by graphical calculus using skein theory. These formulas are colored version of skein relations, twist formula…

Witt algebra acts on Khovanov-Rozansky homology of links.

Decomposes $SL_3$ skein algebras for surfaces.

We solve the equivalence problem for the orthogonally separable webs on the three-sphere under the action of the isometry group. This continues a classical project initiated by Olevsky in which he solved the corresponding canonical forms problem. The solution to the equivalence problem together with the results by Olev…

Formula calculates MOY webs and link polynomials.

We find an invariant characterization of planar webs of maximum rank. For 4-webs, we prove that a planar 4-web is of maximum rank three if and only if it is linearizable and its curvature vanishes. This result leads to the direct web-theoretical proof of the Poincaré's theorem: a planar 4-web of maximum rank is lineari…

We construct flat 3-webs via semi-simple geometric Frobenius manifolds of dimension three and give geometric interpretation of the Chern connection of the web. These webs turned out to be biholomorphic to the characteristic webs on the solutions of the corresponding associativity equation. We show that such webs are he…

Valence two Killing tensors in the Euclidean and Minkowski planes are classified under the action of the group which preserves the type of the corresponding Killing web. The classification is based on an analysis of the system of determining partial differential equations for the group invariants and is entirely algebr…

We give various results and applications using the connection $(E,\nabla)$ associated with a $d$-web. Precisely, we exhibit fundamental invariants of the web related to the differential equation of first order which presents the web. They cast some new lights on the connection and its construction, both conceptually an…

We investigate the linearizability problem for different classes of 4-webs in the plane. In particular, we apply a recently found in [AGL] the linearizability conditions for 4-webs in the plane to confirm that a 4-web MW (Mayrhofer's web) with equal curvature forms of its 3-subwebs and a nonconstant basic invariant is …

In the present paper we study geometric structures associated with webs of hypersurfaces. We prove that with any geodesic (n+2)-web on an n-dimensional manifold there is naturally associated a unique projective structure and, provided that one of web foliations is pointed, there is also associated a unique affine struc…

Study local invariants of divergence-free webs in geometry.

This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to the fact that the webs considered in the paper are ``Veronese-like webs'' which are different from Veronese webs.
