Proves conjecture about integer sums of torus knot torsions.

Using Roelcke formula for the Green function, we explicitly construct a basis in the kernel of the adjoint Laplacian on a compact polyhedral surface $X$ and compute the $S$-matrix of $X$ at the zero value of the spectral parameter. We apply these results to study various self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric Laplacian…

Determinants of theta curves and symmetric graphs are studied.

We give a geometric interpretation of Hamilton's matrix Harnack inequality for the Ricci flow as the curvature of a connection on space-time.

Study conic Laplacian on \(\mb P^1\) with explicit model and boundary data.

We consider an inverse problem associated with some 2-dimensional non-compact surfaces with conical singularities, cusps and regular ends. Our motivating example is a Riemann surface $\mathcal M = Γ\backslash{\bf H}^2$ associated with a Fuchsian group of the 1st kind $Γ$ containing parabolic elements. $\mathcal M$ is t…

In the framework of geometric quantization we extend the Bohr-Sommerfeld rules to a full quantization theory which resembles Heisenberg's matrix theory. This extension is possible because Bohr-Sommerfeld rules not only provide an orthogonal basis in the space of quantum states, but also give a lattice structure to this…

Improved heat equation estimates without gradient curvature assumption.

Aganagic and Shakirov propose a refinement of the SU(N) Chern-Simons theory for links in three manifolds with S^1-symmetry, such as torus knots in S^3, based on deformation of the S and T matrices, originally found by Kirillov and Cherednik. We relate the large N limit of the S matrix to the Hilbert schemes of points o…

We propose a method to assign non-unitary TQFTs to certain SCFTs, deriving bounds and examples.

This work is devoted to the study of parabolic frequency for solutions of the heat equation on Riemannian manifolds. We show that the parabolic frequency functional is almost increasing on compact manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature, which generalizes a monotonicity result proved by C. Poon and by L. Ni. The…

We calculate the homological blocks for Seifert manifolds from the exact expression for the $G=SU(N)$ Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of Seifert manifolds obtained by Lawrence, Rozansky, and Mariño. For the $G=SU(2)$ case, it is possible to express them in terms of the false theta functions and their derivatives. …

Algorithm calculates $L^2$-Euler characteristic for complex spaces.

Based on a suggestion of Richard Hamilton, we give an alternate proof of his matrix Harnack inequality for solutions of the Ricci flow with positive curvature operator. This Harnack inequality says that a certain endomorphism, consisting of an expression in the curvature and its first two covariant derivatives, of the …

Analogous exponential map defined for Hopf algebras.

We generalize Hamilton's matrix Li-Yau-type Harnack estimate for the Ricci flow by considering the space of all LYH (Li-Yau-Hamilton) quadratics that arise as curvature tensors of space-time connections satisfying the Ricci flow with respect to the natural space-time degenerate metric. As a special case, we employ scal…

We define a homology $\mathcal{H}_N$ for closed braids by applying Khovanov and Rozansky's matrix factorization construction with potential $ax^{N+1}$. Up to a grading shift, $\mathcal{H}_0$ is the HOMFLYPT homology defined in arXiv:math/0505056. We demonstrate that, for $N \geq 1$, $\mathcal{H}_N$ is a $\mathbb{Z}_2\o…

Optimal transportation distances are a fundamental family of parameterized distances for histograms. Despite their appealing theoretical properties, excellent performance in retrieval tasks and intuitive formulation, their computation involves the resolution of a linear program whose cost is prohibitive whenever the hi…

The Kashaev conjecture is proven for classical signatures and Alexander polynomials of links.

The paper generalizes para-Kähler Lie algebras to k-para-Kähler Lie algebras and explores their structures.

In this paper, we propose a probabilistic parsing model, which defines a proper conditional probability distribution over non-projective dependency trees for a given sentence, using neural representations as inputs. The neural network architecture is based on bi-directional LSTM-CNNs which benefits from both word- and …

Derives a Hamiltonian model for 3D axially symmetric magnetohydrodynamics.

3D topological order linked to Seifert manifolds and gauge groups.

This paper introduces quantum invariants for 3-alterfolds and proves their consistency with topological moves.

This paper provides both a detailed study of color-dependence of link homologies, as realized in physics as certain spaces of BPS states, and a broad study of the behavior of BPS states in general. We consider how the spectrum of BPS states varies as continuous parameters of a theory are perturbed. This question can be…

Automates PDE model reduction with time-scale separation.

New sigma models compute graviton scattering amplitudes from quaternionic geometry.

The Hurwitz space is the moduli space of pairs $(X,f)$ where $X$ is a compact Riemann surface and $f$ is a meromorphic function on $X$. We study the Laplace operator $Δ^{|df|^2}$ of the flat singular Riemannian manifold $(X,|df|^2)$. We define a regularized determinant for $Δ^{|df|^2}$ and study it as a functional on t…

Analyzes word vectors and co-occurrence statistics in NLP models.

New modular data from torus bundles via particle-hole equivariantization.

We classify all unitary modular tensor categories (UMTCs) of rank $\leq 4$. There are a total of 70 UMTCs of rank $\leq 4$ (Note that some authors would have counted as 35 MTCs.) In our convention there are two trivial unitary MTCs distinguished by the modular $S$ matrix $S=(\pm1)$. Each such UMTC can be obtained from …

Mathematical study supports connection between 3D manifolds and modular tensor categories.
