Affine Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebras and tangles in the solid torus

Frederick M. Goodman, Holly Hauschild (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The affine Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebras can be defined algebraically, via generators and relations, or geometrically as algebras of tangles in the solid torus, modulo Kauffman skein relations. We prove that the two versions are isomorphic, and we show that these algebras are free over any ground ring, with a basis similar to a well known basis of the affine Hecke algebra.

Affine group acting on hyperspaces of compact convex subsets of ℝⁿ

Sergey A. Antonyan, Natalia Jonard-Pérez (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

For every n ≥ 2, let cc(ℝⁿ) denote the hyperspace of all nonempty compact convex subsets of the Euclidean space ℝⁿ endowed with the Hausdorff metric topology. Let cb(ℝⁿ) be the subset of cc(ℝⁿ) consisting of all compact convex bodies. In this paper we discover several fundamental properties of the natural action of the affine group Aff(n) on cb(ℝⁿ). We prove that the space E(n) of all n-dimensional ellipsoids is an Aff(n)-equivariant retract of cb(ℝⁿ). This is applied to show that cb(ℝⁿ) is homeomorphic...

Alexander ideals of classical knots.

Cherry Kearton, Stephen M. J. Wilson (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The Alexander ideals of classical knots are characterised, a result which extends to certain higher dimensional knots.

Alexander stratifications of character varieties

Eriko Hironaka (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Equations defining the jumping loci for the first cohomology group of one-dimensional representations of a finitely presented group Γ can be effectively computed using Fox calculus. In this paper, we give an exposition of Fox calculus in the language of group cohomology and in the language of finite abelian coverings of CW complexes. Work of Arapura and Simpson imply that if Γ is the fundamental group of a compact Kähler manifold, then the strata are finite unions of translated affine subtori. It...

Algebraic characteristic classes for idempotent matrices.

Francisco Gómez (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

This paper contains the algebraic analog for idempotent matrices of the Chern-Weil theory of characteristic classes. This is used to show, algebraically, that the canonical line bundle on the complex projective space is not stably trivial. Also a theorem is proved saying that for any smooth manifold there is a canonical epimorphism from the even dimensional algebraic de Rham cohomology of its algebra of smooth functions onto the standard even dimensional de Rham cohomology of the manifold.

Algebraic Connections and Curvature in Fibrations Bundles of Associative Algebras

Igor M. Burlakov (2016)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

In this article fibrations of associative algebras on smooth manifolds are investigated. Sections of these fibrations are spinor, co spinor and vector fields with respect to a gauge group. Invariant differentiations are constructed and curvature and torsion of invariant differentiations are calculated.
