Nilpotent Slices, Hilbert Schemes, and the Jones Polynomial
نویسنده
چکیده
Seidel and Smith have constructed an invariant of links as the Floer cohomology for two Lagrangians inside a complex affine variety Y. This variety is the intersection of a semisimple orbit with a transverse slice at a nilpotent in the Lie algebra sl2m. We exhibit bijections between a set of generators for the Seidel-Smith cochain complex, the generators in Bigelow’s picture of the Jones polynomial, and the generators of the Heegaard Floer cochain complex for the double branched cover. This is done by presenting Y as an open subset of the Hilbert scheme of a Milnor fiber.

Nilpotent slices and Hilbert schemes
We construct embeddings Yn,τ → Hilb (Στ ) for each of the classical Lie algebras sp2m(C), so2m(C), and so2m+1(C). The space Yn,τ is the fiber over a point τ ∈ h/W of the restriction of the adjoint quotient map χ : g → h/W to a suitably chosen transverse slice of a nilpotent orbit. These embeddings were discovered for sl2m(C) by Ciprian Manolescu. They are related to the symplectic link homology...
متن کاملA link invariant from the symplectic geometry of nilpotent slices
where σ is the sign of the crossing according to the usual convention (Figure 1). This makes the Jones polynomial amenable to algorithmic computation, but despite arising in a farrago of contexts, its geometric meaning has remained somewhat mysterious. In [17, Section 7] Mikhail Khovanov lifted the Jones polynomial to an invariant Kh(κ), which is a bigraded abelian group. Kh(unknot) is Z for i ...
متن کاملNilpotent Elements in Skew Polynomial Rings
Letbe a ring with an endomorphism and an -derivationAntoine studied the structure of the set of nilpotent elements in Armendariz rings and introduced nil-Armendariz rings. In this paper we introduce and investigate the notion of nil--compatible rings. The class of nil--compatible rings are extended through various ring extensions and many classes of nil--compatible rings are constructed. We al...
متن کاملThe Heat Kernel for H-type Groups
Theorem 1 gives an explicit formula for the heat kernel on an H -type group. Folland (2] has shown that for stratified nilpotent Lie groups the heat semigroup is a semigroup of kernel operators on LP, 1 5 p < oo and on Co. Cygan (1] has obtained formulas for heat kernels for any two step nilpotent simply connected Lie group. Cygan found the heat kernel for a free simply connected two step nilpo...
متن کاملOn constant products of elements in skew polynomial rings
Let $R$ be a reversible ring which is $alpha$-compatible for an endomorphism $alpha$ of $R$ and $f(X)=a_0+a_1X+cdots+a_nX^n$ be a nonzero skew polynomial in $R[X;alpha]$. It is proved that if there exists a nonzero skew polynomial $g(X)=b_0+b_1X+cdots+b_mX^m$ in $R[X;alpha]$ such that $g(X)f(X)=c$ is a constant in $R$, then $b_0a_0=c$ and there exist nonzero elements $a$ and $r$ in $R$ such tha...
