Just A Fun Pic

Published:

This image describes a multiplication on the 2-valued group formed as cosets group from the free product

\begin{equation*} \mathbb{Z}/3\ast\mathbb{Z}/3\cong \langle a, b \ | \ a^3 = b^3 = 1 \rangle\end{equation*}

with respect to the cyclic automorphism $a\mapsto b$ of order 2. See the preprint and slides from the talk for details.

Representation Homology

We can think about any commutative associative algebra $A$ as a functor $\mathcal{L}(A):\mathsf{Fin}\to k\text{-}\mathsf{mod}$ from the category of finite sets and arbitrary functions to the category of $k$-modules ($k$ is a commutative ring, the letter $\mathcal{L}$ is devoted to Jean-Louis Loday). It can be constructed as follows. On objects it is defined by sending a set $\mathbf{n}$ to $A^{\otimes_k n}$. For a morphism $f: \mathbf{n}\to\mathbf{m}$, define the morphism $\mathcal{L}(A)(f)$.

As well known, a plane can be covered aperiodically by two types of rhombi: thick ones having angles $72^\circ$ and $108^\circ$, and thin ones having angles $36^\circ$ and $144^\circ$ (see Fig. 1). Read more

Koszul Duality And Gröbner bases

3 minute read

Published:

Koszul duality is a fundamental notion of Math. Its reincarnations can be found in algebra, geometry and homotopy theory. For example, Sullivan and Quillen’s approaches to rational homotopy theory are Koszul dual to each other with respect to the Koszul duality between commutative and Lie operads. In algebra, we have the PBW-theorem (by Poincaré, Birkhoff and Witt), which states that the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra looks like a polynomial algebra meaning that it has as a monomial basis of a vector space with variables being sorted by some fixed order. Further, by algebras we mean associative differential graded algebras $A = T(V)/R$ with $R$ being quadratic or quadratic-linear relations (e. g., tensor algebras $T(V),$ symmetric algebras $S(V),$ universal enveloping algebras $U(\mathfrak{g}),$ etc).

Stable Homotopy Groups Via Motivic Ones

3 minute read

Published:

Briefly, there is a wonderful application of motivic homotopy theory to Agriculture classic Algebraic Topology. Classical and motivic Adams-Novikov spectral sequences coincide in the case of algebraic closed fields with zero characteristic (Marc Levine). This connection allowed to eliminate misunderstanding and mistakes in classical calculations. I will follow the Marc Levin overview. Read more
