Superalgebra deformations of web categories: Affine and cyclotomic webs
Let $\mathbb{k}$ be a characteristic zero domain. We define and study a diagrammatic monoidal $\mathbb{k}$-linear supercategory $\mathbf{Web}^{aff}_{A}$ associated to any locally unital Frobenius $\ma...

Links have no characterising slopes
We show that there is no analogue of characterising slopes for multi-component links. Concretely, we show that for any ordered link L in S3 with n>1 components and any rational slopes r_1, ..., r_n, t...

The Self-Projecting Grassmannian
We introduce the self-projecting Grassmannian, an irreducible subvariety of the Grassmannian parametrizing linear subspaces that satisfy a generalized self-duality condition. We study its relation to ...

Euler systems for $\mathrm{GSp}(4)$ over imaginary quadratic fields
We construct an Euler system attached to general-type cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GSp}(4)$ twisted by a Groessencharacter of an imaginary quadratic field. We then us...

CM Drinfeld Modules, Self-isogenous Modular Polynomials, and Volcano Structure
In this paper, we develop a view of self-isogenous modular polynomials and the $\mathfrak{l}$-cyclic isogeny graph for CM Drinfeld modules of arbitrary rank $r$. On the computational side, we give an ...

Constructing Thompson representatives via pointed links
We extend Jones' construction to obtain a surjective map from the Brown-Thompson group $F_3$ to the set of pointed links up to pointed isotopy. We then introduce an operation on $F_3$, and use it to d...

Curvature-driven pattern formation in biomembranes: A gradient flow approach
In this work, we study a phase-field model for curvature-driven pattern formation in biomembranes. The model is derived as a gradient flow of an energy functional that approximates the two-phase Canha...

The Pseudocentre of a Group
In 1973, Jim Wiegold introduced the concept of pseudocentre P(G) of a group G as the intersection of the normal closures of the centralizers of its elements. He proved that the pseudocentre of a non-t...

Equivariant homology of the symplectic affine Grassmannian and dual affine Schur $P$-functions
We study the torus-equivariant homology $H_*^T(\mathrm{Gr}_G)$ of the affine Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}_G$, where $G=\mathrm{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{C})$ is the symplectic group. This homology admits a natura...

Given the collection of all $m\times n$ rectangular grids which have a fixed number $1\leq r\leq mn$ of blocked cells, we explicitly describe a proper subset of the collection which is guaranteed to c...

Latest work out today in @currentbiology.bsky.social

We find the fly development gene bicoid is much older than previously thought (~20 million yrs older!) 🪰🧬

To pinpoint its origins we tackled the Diptera phylogeny, providing some resolution (many open questions remain).
