Quantum neural networks approximate periodic functions more efficiently.
Researchers develop neural networks for approximating functions in Banach spaces.
In this short note, we show that the twisted Alexander polynomial associated to a parabolic SL(2,C)-representation detects genus and fibering of the twist knots. As a corollary, a conjecture of Dunfield, Friedl and Jackson is proved for the hyperbolic twist knots.
Modern financial networks exhibit a high degree of interconnectedness and determining the causes of instability and contagion in financial networks is necessary to inform policy and avoid future financial collapse. In the American Economic Review, Elliott, Golub and Jackson proposed a simple model for capturing the dyn…

In this paper we show that the twisted Alexander polynomial associated to a parabolic representation determines fiberedness and genus of a wide class of 2-bridge knots. As a corollary we give an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Dunfield, Friedl and Jackson for infinitely many hyperbolic knots.
Single Hurwitz numbers enumerate branched covers of the Riemann sphere with specified genus, prescribed ramification over infinity, and simple branching elsewhere. They exhibit a remarkably rich structure. In particular, they arise as intersection numbers on moduli spaces of curves and are governed by the topological r…
We calculate the twisted Alexander polynomials of -pretzel knots associated to their holonomy representations.

The coefficients of twisted Alexander polynomials of a knot induce regular functions of the -character variety. We prove that the function of the highest degree has a finite value at an ideal point which gives a minimal genus Seifert surface by Culler-Shalen theory. It implies a partial affirmative an…
In this paper we apply the twisted Alexander polynomial to study the fibering and genus detecting problems for oriented links.
