Formula for arborescent link tails using theta functions.

We prove a folklore theorem of W. Thurston which provides necessary and sufficient conditions for primality of a certain class of theta-curves. Namely, a theta-curve in the 3-sphere with an unknotted constituent knot U is prime if and only if lifting the third arc of the theta-curve to the double branched cover over U …

The Kinoshita graph is the most famous example of a Brunnian theta graph, a nontrivial spatial theta graph with the property that removing any edge yields an unknot. We produce a new family of diagrams of spatial theta graphs with the property that removing any edge results in the unknot. The family is parameterized by…

In this article we give necessary and sufficient conditions for two triples of integers to be realized as the Thurston-Bennequin number and the rotation number of a Legendrian theta-graph with all cycles unknotted. We show that these invariants are not enough to determine the Legendrian class of a topologically planar …

The probability density function for the visible sector of a Riemann-Theta Boltzmann machine can be taken conditional on a subset of the visible units. We derive that the corresponding conditional density function is given by a reparameterization of the Riemann-Theta Boltzmann machine modelling the original probability…

Proves existence of flat connection on theta functions for G-bundles.

The normalized Yamada polynomial is a polynomial invariant in variable A for theta-curves. In this work, we show that the coefficients of the power series obtained from this polynomial by the substitution A=e^x=1+x+x^2/2+x^3/6+... are finite-type invariants for theta-curves although the coefficients of original polynom…

We prove an optimal systolic inequality for nonpositively curved Dyck's surfaces. The extremal surface is flat with eight conical singularities, six of angle theta and two of angle 9pi - theta, for a suitable theta with cos(theta) in Q(sqrt{19}). Relying on some delicate capacity estimates, we also show that the extrem…

Study theta functions and adiabatic curvature on Abelian varieties.

We determine the abelianization of the symmetric mapping class group of a double unbranched cover using the Riemann theta constant, Schottky theta constant, and the theta multiplier. We also give lower bounds of the abelianizations of some finite index subgroups of the mapping class group.

Quantum modularity proven for specific theta series.

We construct an analogue of the classical theta-function on an Abelian variety for closed 4-dimensional symplectic manifolds which are T^2-bundles over T^2 with the zero Euler class. We use our theta-functions for a canonical symplectic embedding of these manifolds into complex projective spaces (an analogue of the Lef…

Bracelets and theta bases match in various cluster algebras.

The Kodaira--Thurston M manifold is a compact, 4-dimensional nilmanifold which is symplectic and complex but not Kaehler. We describe a construction of theta-functions associated to M which parallels the classical theory of theta-functions associated to the torus (from the point of view of representation theory and geo…

New techniques prove quantum modularity for various functions.

This paper is a continuation of our work on theta and zeta functions In the previous papers we considered the case of even dimensional rank one symmetric spaces of non-compact type. The present is concerned with the odd-dimensional case, i.e. with odd-dimensional real hyperbolic manifolds. It is the natural appearence …

For a Riemann surface with cusps we define a theta function using the eigenvalues of the Laplacian and the singularities of the scattering determinant. We provide its meromorphic continuation and discuss its singularities.

Theta graph diffeomorphism shows nontrivial mapping class of 4-sphere.

We study learning in a noisy bisection model: specifically, Bayesian algorithms to learn a target value V given access only to noisy realizations of whether V is less than or greater than a threshold theta. At step t = 0, 1, 2, ..., the learner sets threshold theta t and observes a noisy realization of sign(V - theta t…

In this paper, Hamiltonian monodromy is studied from the point of view of geometric quantization abd theta functions, and various differential geometric aspects thereof are dealt with, all related to holonomies of suitable flat connections.

In this paper we construct the quantum group, at roots of unity, of abelian Chern-Simons theory. We then use it to model classical theta functions and the actions of the Heisenberg and modular groups on them.

This paper outlines an approach to the non-abelian theta functions of the $SU(2)$-Chern-Simons theory with the methods used by A. Weil for studying classical theta functions. First we translate in knot theoretic language classical theta functions, the action of the finite Heisenberg group, and the discrete Fourier tran…

We use Heegaard decompositions and the theta divisor on a Riemannian surface to define a three-manifold invariant for rational homology three-spheres. This invariant is defined on the set of $Spin^c$ structures ${\hat θ}\colon Spin^c(Y)\longrightarrow Q.$ In the first part of the paper, we give the definition of th…

In this thesis we study asymptotic behavior of projective embeddings of abelian varieties and their amoebas. The projective embeddings are given by theta functions. It is known that a Lagrangian fibration of the abelian variety determines a basis of theta functions. After reviewing the relation from the viewpoint of ge…

Geometrically connects theta functions and WZNW blocks.

We define analogue of theta-functions on the Kodaira--Thurston manifold which is a compact 4-dimensional symplectic manifold and use them to construct canonical symplectic embedding of the Kodaira--Thurston manifold into the complex projective space (analogue of the Lefshetz theorem).

A region crossing change at a region of a spatial-graph diagram is a transformation changing every crossing on the boundary of the region. In this paper, it is shown that every spatial graph consisting of theta-curves can be unknotted by region crossing changes.

We further develop the asymptotic analytic approach to the study of scattering diagrams. We do so by analyzing the asymptotic behavior of Maurer-Cartan elements of a differential graded Lie algebra constructed from a (not-necessarily tropical) monoid-graded Lie algebra. In this framework, we give alternative differenti…

The Theta invariant is the simplest 3-manifold invariant defined with configuration space integrals. It is actually an invariant of rational homology spheres equipped with a combing over the complement of a point. It can be computed as the algebraic intersection of three propagators associated to a given combing X in t…

A general Boltzmann machine with continuous visible and discrete integer valued hidden states is introduced. Under mild assumptions about the connection matrices, the probability density function of the visible units can be solved for analytically, yielding a novel parametric density function involving a ratio of Riema…

A new machine learning model uses score matching to estimate probability densities efficiently.

We compute the Moore-Witten regularized u-plane integral on CP^2, and we confirm their conjecture that it is the generating function for the SO(3)-Donaldson invariants of CP^2. We prove this conjecture using the theory of mock theta functions and harmonic Maass forms. We also derive further such generating functions fo…

We prove that there are no networks homeomorphic to the Greek "theta" letter (a double cell) embedded in the plane with two triple junctions with angles of $120$ degrees, such that under the motion by curvature they are self-similarly shrinking. This fact completes the classification of the self-similarly shrinking net…

In this paper we study an invariant for oriented three-manifolds with $b_1>0$, which is defined using Heegaard splittings and the theta divisor of a Riemann surface. The paper is divided into two parts, the first of which gives the definition of the invariant, and the second of which identifies it with more classical (…
