We present a purely planar algebraic proof of the main result of a paper of Guionnet-Jones-Shlaykhtenko which constructs an extremal subfactor from a subfactor planar algebra whose standard invariant is given by that planar algebra.
We recapture Kuperberg's numerical invariant of 3-manifolds associated to a semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra through a `planar algebra construction'. A result of possibly independent interest, used during the proof, which relates duality in planar graphs and Hopf algebras, is the subject of a final section.
We construct a certain `cobordism category' ${\cal D}$ whose morphisms are suitably decorated cobordism classes between similarly decorated closed oriented 1-manifolds, and show that there is essentially a bijection between (1+1-dimensional) unitary topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) defined on ${\cal D}$, on the one hand, and Jones' subfactor planar algebras, on the other.
To a semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field, we associate a planar algebra defined by generators and relations and show that it is a connected, irreducible, spherical, non-degenerate planar algebra with non-zero modulus and of depth two. This association is shown to yield a bijection between (the isomorphism classes, on both sides, of) such objects.
Let $R$ be a $d$-dimensional standard graded ring over an Artin local ring. Let $M$ be the unique maximal homogeneous ideal of $R.$ Let $h^i(R)_n$ denote the length of $H^i_M(R)_n$, i.e. the nth graded component of the ith local cohomology module of R with respect to M. Define the Eisenbud-Goto invariant of $R$ to be the number $$EG(R)= \sum_{q=0}^{d-1} \binom{d-1}{q} h^q(R)_{1-q}.$$ We prove that the $a$-invariant of $R$ satisfies $$ a(R) \leq e(R)-length(R_1)+(d-1)(length(R_0)-1)+ EG(R).$$ Using this bound we get upper bounds for the reduction number of an $m$-primary ideal of a Cohen-Macaulay local ring $(R,m)$ whose associated graded ring $G(m)$ has almost maximal depth.
Consider complex semisimple Lie algebras of a given dimension specified by their structure constants. We describe a finite collection of rational functions in the structure constants that form a complete set of invariants: two sets of structure constants determine isomorphic algebras if and only if each of these rational functions has the same value on the two sets. This collection is indexed by all chord diagrams with the number of chords being bounded by a function of the dimension.
For any positive integer $N$, we describe a natural complex representation of the symmetric group $Σ_N$ on the vector space spanned by its involutions that contains each irreducible representation exactly once.
We prove a recent conjecture of Kreiman and Lakshmibai about Hilbert functions of points on Schubert varieties in Grassmannians.
