Extending Quotients of Knot Groups over Surfaces in

Alexandra Kjuchukova, Kent E. Orr

Let be a knot with exterior , and denote by a quotient of its group. We give a sharp obstruction to the existence of a…

Transfinite Milnor invariants for 3-manifolds

Jae Choon Cha, Kent E. Orr

In his 1957 paper, John Milnor introduced link invariants which measure the homotopy class of the longitudes of a link relative to the lower central series of the link group. Conse…

Picture groups of finite type and cohomology in type

Kiyoshi Igusa, Gordana Todorov, Jerzy Weyman

For every quiver (valued) of finite representation type we define a finitely presented group called a picture group. This group is very closely related to the cluster theory of the…

Whitney towers and abelian invariants of knots

Jae Choon Cha, Kent E. Orr, Mark Powell

We relate certain abelian invariants of a knot, namely the Alexander polynomial, the Blanchfield form, and the Arf invariant, to intersection data of a Whitney tower in the 4-ball…

Modulated semi-invariants

Kiyoshi Igusa, Kent Orr, Gordana Todorov +1

We prove the basic properties of determinantal semi-invariants for presentation spaces over any finite dimensional hereditary algebra over any field. These include the virtual gene…

Group localization and two problems of Levine

Roman Mikhailov, Kent E. Orr

A. K. Bousfield's -localization of groups inverts homologically two-connected homomorphisms of groups. J. P. Levine's algebraic closure of groups inverts homomorphisms…
