On the Sp-structure of the torsion of the Lie algebra of homology cylinders

Quentin Faes, Gwenael Massuyeau, Masatoshi Sato

Let be a compact oriented surface. We investigate the graded Lie algebra of homology cylinders over , as introduced by M. Goussarov and K. Habiro. To analyze its torsion, we…

Image of the third Johnson homomorphism

Quentin Faes, Ricard Riba

In this note we show that the image of the third Johnson homomorphism coincides with the kernel of Morita's trace map for the case of a surface of genus with one boundary…

Quantum Invariants of Ribbon Surfaces in -Dimensional -Handlebodies

Anna Beliakova, Marco De Renzi, Quentin Faes

We use unimodular ribbon categories to construct quantum invariants of ribbon surfaces in -dimensional -handlebodies up to -isotopy. In the process, we recover invariants…

Non-factorizable ribbon Hopf Algebras

Quentin Faes, Maksymilian Manko

Building on the work of Nenciu we provide examples of non-factorizable ribbon Hopf algebras, and introduce a stronger notion of non-factorizability. These algebras are designed to…

On the degree-two part of the associated graded of the lower central series of the Torelli group

Quentin Faes, Gwenael Massuyeau, Masatoshi Sato

We consider the associated graded of the lower central series $\mathcal{I} = Γ_1 \mathcal{I} \supset Γ_2 \mathcal{I} \s…

About torsion in the cokernels of the Johnson homomorphisms

Quentin Faes

The so-called Johnson homomorphisms embed the graded space associated to the Johnson filtration of a surface with one boundary component into the Lie ring of pos…

On the non-triviality of the torsion subgroup of the abelianized Johnson kernel

Quentin Faes, Gwenael Massuyeau

The Johnson kernel is the subgroup of the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface that is generated by Dehn twists along separating simple closed curves. The rational abel…

Lagrangian traces for the Johnson filtration of the handlebody group

Quentin Faes

We define trace-like operators on a subspace of the space of derivations of the free Lie algebra generated by the first homology group of a surface . This definition depends…

Triviality of the -equivalence among homology 3-spheres

Quentin Faes

We prove that all homology 3-spheres are -equivalent, i.e. that any homology 3-sphere can be obtained from one another by twisting one of its Heegaard splittings by an element…

The handlebody group and the images of the second Johnson homomorphism

Quentin Faes

Given an oriented surface bounding a handlebody, we study the subgroup of its mapping class group defined as the intersection of the handlebody group and the second term of the Joh…
