Essential tori associated with links of mixed singularities

Abstract

We establish a direct connection between the analytic data of weakly isolated mixed singularities and the topology of their associated links. More precisely, we prove that the existence of essential tori, topological information, in the complements of links arising from weakly isolated mixed singularities can be detected directly from properties of the defining mixed polynomial, provided that it is convenient, non-degenerate and $\Gamma$-nice. Our results provide explicit and computable criteria, expressed purely in terms of the polynomial data, that determine the presence of essential tori in the link exterior. In particular, these criteria yield effective conditions ensuring that such links are non-hyperbolic. This approach provides a new method to extract topological information about link complements without requiring an explicit determination of the link type, thereby establishing a concrete bridge between the analytic structure of mixed polynomials and the geometric topology of their associated links.

Bar cohomology of links: beyond Milnor invariants

We develop bar cohomology of link complements as an invariant of links in homology spheres. In this setting, bar cohomology is a Hopf algebra which is calculable using surfaces and their intersection curves in a link complement. In this first in a sequence of works, we introduce the invariant and show that it defines a canonical subspace of the tensor Hopf algebra, which already encodes information about Milnor's link invariants and provides geometrically significant information beyond them.

Homological lifts of Arnold invariants $J^-$ and $J^+$

Viro's Euler-integral polynomial $P_C(q)$ and the Lanzat--Polyak quantized-curvature polynomial $I_q(C)$ refine Arnold's invariants $J^-$ and $J^+$ for generic immersed one-component plane curves. We construct homological lifts of both. The bigraded region homology retains the singular homology of every connected Alexander-index region; its graded Euler characteristic is $P_C(q)$. The triply graded smoothing-circle homology is generated by the oriented circles of the orientation-preserving smoothing and decategorifies to the smoothing term in $I_q(C)$. Keeping the actual region summands and the boundary regions of every smoothing circle gives a homological refinement of the oriented smoothing configuration, or Seifert state. An infinite family proves strictness: both polynomial data and the ordinary homological lifts agree, while the component-graded region homology and the branch-decomposed circle homology distinguish every pair. Further constructions recover the full $I_q(C)$ by a vertex complex, realize the local change of its curvature integral by edge homology, and give a canonical two-state homology for unoriented curves. Viro described his Euler-integral formula as an analogue of face state-sum formulas for quantum knot polynomials. Through the categorifications developed here, we obtain one concrete homological face-state-sum model realizing that analogy.
