Extends double linear policy with time-varying weights and proves robust positive expectation.

With the help of the evolution method we calculate all HOMFLY polynomials in all symmetric representations [r] for a huge family of (generalized) pretzel links, which are made from g+1 two strand braids, parallel or antiparallel, and depend on g+1 integer numbers. We demonstrate that they possess a pronounced new struc…

We study a volume preserving curvature flow of convex hypersurfaces, driven by a power of the $k$-th elementary symmetric polynomial in the principal curvatures. Unlike most of the previous works on related problems, we do not require assumptions on the curvature pinching of the initial datum. We prove that the solutio…

The paper proves curvature estimates for specific hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space.

Prescribing, by conformal transformation, the kth-elementary symmetric polynomial of the Schouten tensor $P$ to be constant is a generalisation of the Yamabe problem. On compact Riemannian n-manifolds we show that, for k between and including 3 and n, this prescription equation is an Euler-Lagrange equation of some act…

Let N be a (n+1)-dimensional globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold with a compact Cauchy hypersurface. We consider curvature flows in N with different curvature functions F (including the mean curvature, the gauss curvature and the second elementary symmetric polynomial) and a volume preserving term. Under suitable a…

New central elements found in a quantum algebra related to knot theory.

Analysis of DPPs and k-DPPs via spectral decomposition reveals identifiable parameters and non-identifiability gaps.

In this paper we study the problem of finding a conformal metric with the property that the k-th elementary symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues of its Weyl-Schouten tensor is constant. A new conformal invariant involving maximal volumes is defined, and this invariant is then used in several cases to prove existence…

The paper proves deep neural networks with analytic activation can approximate any function.

Paper solves Hessian equations on Kähler manifolds.

The Alexander biquandle of a virtual knot or link is a module over a 2-variable Laurent polynomial ring which is an invariant of virtual knots and links. The elementary ideals of this module are then invariants of virtual isotopy which determine both the generalized Alexander polynomial (also known as the Sawollek poly…

In this article, we give an elementary construction of homological invariants of links presented by braid closures. The Euler characteristic of this complex is equal to quantum polynomial invariant of link.

This is an introduction to the Volume Conjecture and its generalizations for nonexperts. The Volume Conjecture states that a certain limit of the colored Jones polynomial of a knot would give the volume of its complement. If we deform the parameter of the colored Jones polynomial we also conjecture that it would also g…

In this short note we show the existence of an epimorphism between groups of $2$-bridge knots by means of an elementary argument using the Riley polynomial. As a corollary, we give a classification of $2$-bridge knots by Riley polynomials.

A simplified proof of the Alexander-Conway polynomial exists.

Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n. The k-curvature, for k=1,2,..n, is defined as the k-th elementary symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues of the Schouten tenser. The k-Yamabe problem is to prove the existence of a conformal metric whose k-curvature is a constant. When k=1, it reduces to the well-…

This paper investigates symmetric ribbon numbers of low-complexity knots.

We explore Jaeger's state model for the HOMFLYPT polynomial. We reformulate this model in the language of Gauss diagrams and use it to obtain Gauss diagram formulas for a two-parameter family of Vassiliev invariants coming from the HOMFLYPT polynomial. These formulas are new already for invariants of degree 3.

We show how Seifert surfaces, so useful for the understanding of the Alexander polynomial Δ_L(t), can be generalized in order to study the multivariable Alexander polynomial Δ_L(t_1,...,t_μ). In particular, we give an elementary and geometric proof of the Torres formula.

We give an elementary construction of symplectic connections through reduction. This provides an elegant description of a class of symmetric spaces and gives examples of symplectic connections with Ricci type curvature, which are not locally symmetric; the existence of such symplectic connections was unknown.

Computed formulas for curvature operators and Poincaré polynomials of symmetric spaces.

New divergence identity for scalar curvature helps prove rigidity of tensors.

We investigate a special kind of contraction of symmetric spaces (respectively, of Lie triple systems), called homotopy. In this first part of a series of two papers we construct such contractions for classical symmetric spaces in an elementary way by using associative algebras with several involutions. This constructi…

New method for calculating HOMFLY polynomials in symmetric representations.

Studying the isotropy orbits of compact symmetric spaces Reiswich introduced a family of explicit polynomials in one variable in order to describe the unique minimal isotropy orbit of compact symmetric spaces with Dynkin diagram of type $D_m$. Based on this geometric interpretation he conjectured that these polynomials…

The Penrose-Kauffman polynomial connects knot theory to graph coloring.

Symbolic regression finds two projective invariants capturing most of the Ricci-flat metric variation.

It is well known that any link can be represented by the closure of a braid. The minimum number of strings needed in a braid whose closure represents a given link is called the braid index of the link and the well known Morton-Frank-Williams inequality reveals a close relationship between the HOMFLY polynomial of a lin…

Simple proof of knot genus theorem using Alexander polynomial.

We classify and explicitly describe homomorphisms of Verma modules for conformal Galilei algebras $\mathfrak{cga}_\ell(d,{\mathbb C})$ with $d=1$ for any integer value $\ell \in \mathbb{N}$. The homomorphisms are uniquely determined by singular vectors as solutions of certain differential operators of flag type, and id…

We give a characterization for the Alexander Polynomials of closed orientable 3-manifolds M with first Betti number 1, as well as some partial results for the characterization problem for M having first Betti number > 1. We first prove an analogue of a theorem of Levine: that the product of an Alexander polynomial of M…

Extended symmetric union with multiple tangle regions and Alexander polynomial properties.

Motivated by the study of ribbon knots we explore symmetric unions, a beautiful construction introduced by Kinoshita and Terasaka in 1957. For symmetric diagrams we develop a two-variable refinement $W_D(s,t)$ of the Jones polynomial that is invariant under symmetric Reidemeister moves. Here the two variables $s$ and $…

Study quotients of curve complex actions by mapping class group.

We give an elementary (not cut just paste) proof of results of Bott and Shchepin: the space of non-empty subsets of a circle of cardinality at most 3, which is called the third symmetric potency of the circle, is homeomorphic to a 3-sphere and the inclusion of the space of one element subsets is a trefoil knot. Moreove…
