K ( π , 1 ) conjecture for Artin groups

Luis Paris (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

The purpose of this paper is to put together a large amount of results on the K ( π , 1 ) conjecture for Artin groups, and to make them accessible to non-experts. Firstly, this is a survey, containing basic definitions, the main results, examples and an historical overview of the subject. But, it is also a reference text on the topic that contains proofs of a large part of the results on this question. Some proofs as well as few results are new. Furthermore, the text, being addressed to non-experts, is as...

Karoubi’s relative Chern character and Beilinson’s regulator

Georg Tamme (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We construct a variant of Karoubi’s relative Chern character for smooth varieties over 𝐂 and prove a comparison result with Beilinson’s regulator with values in Deligne-Beilinson cohomology. As a corollary we obtain a new proof of Burgos’ Theorem that for number fields Borel’s regulator is twice Beilinson’s regulator.

Khovanov homology, its definitions and ramifications

Oleg Viro (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Mikhail Khovanov defined, for a diagram of an oriented classical link, a collection of groups labelled by pairs of integers. These groups were constructed as the homology groups of certain chain complexes. The Euler characteristics of these complexes are the coefficients of the Jones polynomial of the link. The original construction is overloaded with algebraic details. Most of the specialists use adaptations of it stripped off the details. The goal of this paper is to overview these adaptations...
