Twisted Linking Numbers via Representations of Fundamental Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using representations of fundamental groups, we introduce the concept of twisted linking numbers. If the corresponding representation is trivial, the twisted linking number coincides with the linking number. In the case of a nontrivial representation, however, this is not necessarily true, which implies that the twisted linking number can detect the nontriviality of an embedding of S. An example is given for which the linking number is trivial but the twisted linking number is not.

Twisted Vertex Representations via Spin Groups and the Mckay Correspondence
We establish a twisted analog of our recent work on vertex representations and the McKay correspondence. For each finite group Γ and a virtual character of Γ we construct twisted vertex operators on the Fock space spanned by the super spin characters of the spin wreath products Γ ≀ S̃n of Γ and a double cover of the symmetric group Sn for all n. When Γ is a subgroup of SL2(C) with the McKay virt...
متن کاملTwisted Frobenius–schur Indicators for Hopf Algebras
The classical Frobenius–Schur indicators for finite groups are character sums defined for any representation and any integer m ≥ 2. In the familiar case m = 2, the Frobenius–Schur indicator partitions the irreducible representations over the complex numbers into real, complex, and quaternionic representations. In recent years, several generalizations of these invariants have been introduced. Bu...
متن کاملAutomorphic Representations of Gsp(4)
1. In this note, we shall describe a classification for automorphic representations of GSp(4), the group of similitudes of four-dimensional symplectic space. The results are part of a project [A3] on the automorphic representations of general classical groups. The monograph [A3] is still in preparation. When complete, it will contain a larger classification of representations, subject to a gene...
متن کاملEffect of Twisted Tape Baffles on Pressure Drop, Fluctuation and Expansion Ratios in gas - Solid Fluidized Bed
In the present work an attempt has been made to study the effect of the twisted tapes as bed internals, on the performance of the gas-solid fluidized beds. Experimental investigation has been carried out in cylindrical column with and without twisted tapes. Twelve numbers of twisted tapes of three different widths with four values of the twist ratios for each width were studied at different...
متن کاملBraid Group Representations from Twisted Quantum Doubles of Finite Groups
We investigate the braid group representations arising from categories of representations of twisted quantum doubles of finite groups. For these categories, we show that the resulting braid group representations always factor through finite groups, in contrast to the categories associated with quantum groups at roots of unity. We also show that in the case of p-groups, the corresponding pure br...
