Biquandle power brackets (Sam Nelson, CMC)
Biquandle brackets are skein invariants of biquandle-colored knots, with skein coefficients that are functions of the colors at a crossing. Biquandle power brackets take this idea a step further with state component values that also depend on biquandle colors. This is joint work with Neslihan Gügümcü (IYTE).
Claremont Topology Seminar: Reginald Anderson (CMC)
Title: Cellular resolutions of the diagonal and exceptional collections for toric Deligne-Mumford stacks Abstract: Beilinson gave a resolution of the diagonal for complex projective space which yields a strong, full exceptional collection of line bundles. Bayer-Popescu-Sturmfels generalized Beilinson's result to a cellular resolution of the diagonal for what they called "unimodular" toric varieties (a more restrictive […]
