Clarifies the structure of quantum states using algebraic methods.

Researchers compute Khovanov polynomials for satellite knots.

We investigate the representation theory of the polynomial core of the quantum Teichmuller space of a punctured surface S. This is a purely algebraic object, closely related to the combinatorics of the simplicial complex of ideal cell decompositions of S. Our main result is that irreducible finite-dimensional represent…

A treatment of the spin-statistics relation in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics due to Berry and Robbins [Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A (1997) 453, 1771-1790] is generalised within a group-theoretical framework. The construction of Berry and Robbins is re-formulated in terms of certain locally flat vector bundles over n-parti…

New quantum algebra connects 3D gravity to complex plane.

Study centers of quantum tori and skein algebras for even roots of unity.

Refined invariants for 4D 2-handlebodies, linking quantum groups and cohomology.

This paper deals with a general method for the reduction of quantum systems with symmetry. For a Riemannian manifold M admitting a compact Lie group G as an isometry group, the quotient space Q = M/G is not a smooth manifold in general but stratified into a collection of smooth manifolds of various dimensions. If the a…

Arithmetic Dijkgraaf-Witten theory constructs analogues in Chern-Simons TQFT.

The paper uncovers the mathematical structure enabling value decomposition in multi-agent systems.

We use geometric methods to show that given any $3$-manifold $M$, and $g$ a sufficiently large integer, the mapping class group $\mathrm{Mod}(Σ_{g,1})$ contains a coset of an abelian subgroup of rank $\lfloor \frac{g}{2}\rfloor,$ consisting of pseudo-Anosov monodromies of open-book decompositions in $M.$ We prove a sim…

New method solves $KP$ problem using global Cartan decompositions.

We give an irreducible decomposition of the so-called local representations (see arXiv:0707.2151) of the quantum Teichmüller space $\mathcal{T}_q(Σ)$ where $Σ$ is a punctured surface of genus $g>0$ and $q$ is a primitive $N$-th root of unity with $N$ odd. As an application, we construct a family of representations of t…

Develops Hamiltonian quantization for complex Chern-Simons theory at even level k.

We study the quantum synchronization between a pair of two-level systems inside two coupled cavities. By using a digital-analog decomposition of the master equation that rules the system dynamics, we show that this approach leads to quantum synchronization between both two-level systems. Moreover, we can identify in th…

In this paper we study a Clifford algebra generalization of the quaternions and its relationship with braid group representations related to Majorana fermions. The Fibonacci model for topological quantum computing is based on the fusion rules for a Majorana fermion. Majorana fermions can be seen not only in the structu…

In this article we give examples which show that the TQFT representations of the mapping class groups derived from quantum SU(N) for N>2 are generically decomposable. One general decomposition of the representations is induced by the symmetry which exchanges SU(N) representation labels by their conjugates. The respecti…

D-Wave hybrid quantum-classical portfolio optimization shows classical decomposition is key, not quantum sampling.

This paper applies quantum probability theory to model asset returns, avoiding assumptions about quantum effects.

This thesis is concerned with the application of operadic methods, particularly modular operads, to questions arising in the study of moduli spaces of surfaces as well as applications to the study of homotopy algebras and new constructions of 'quantum invariants' of manifolds inspired by ideas originating from physics.…

Researchers define new quantum representations for a Lorentz algebra and study their Clebsch-Gordan decomposition.

Geometrically decomposes Kähler functions on toric manifolds.

Quantum trace map connects Teichmüller theory and quantum groups.

We discuss an approach to quantum gerbes over quantum groups in terms of q-deformation of transition functions for a loop group bundle. The case of the quantum group SUq(2) is treated in some detail.

Restricts quantum representations of mapping class groups to integral coefficients.

We construct modular categories from Hecke algebras at roots of unity. For a special choice of the framing parameter, we recover the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of closed 3-manifolds constructed from the quantum groups U_q sl(N) by Reshetikhin-Turaev and Turaev-Wenzl, and from skein theory by Yokota. We then discuss …

We derive the quantum Teichmüller space, previously constructed by Kashaev and by Fock and Chekhov, from tensor products of a single canonical representation of the modular double of the quantum plane. We show that the quantum dilogarithm function appears naturally in the decomposition of the tensor square, the quantum…

Develops a new geometric framework for quantum metrics.

It is shown that there is a $C^*$-algebraic quantum group related to any double Lie group. An algebra underlying this quantum group is an algebra of a differential groupoid naturally associated with a double Lie group

Quantum theory constructs a group and skein module for knot complements.

New complex structures found in quantum SU(3) manifold.

Quantum annealing is a generic solver of the optimization problem that uses fictitious quantum fluctuation. Its simulation in classical computing is often performed using the quantum Monte Carlo simulation via the Suzuki--Trotter decomposition. However, the negative sign problem sometimes emerges in the simulation of q…

Quantum theory of curved tetrahedrons yields quantum group intertwiners.

Functor decomposes Khovanov spectra for non-alternating diagrams.

The paper concerns a compactification of the isospectral varieties of nilpotent Toda lattices for real split simple Lie algebras. The compactification is obtained by taking the closure of unipotent group orbits in the flag manifolds. The unipotent group orbits are called the Peterson varieties and can be used in the co…

The paper proposes and discusses semiorthogonal decompositions for moduli spaces of vector bundles.

The Temperley-Lieb algebra is a fundamental component of SU(2) topological quantum field theories. We construct chain complexes corresponding to minimal idempotents in the Temperley-Lieb algebra. Our results apply to the framework which determines Khovanov homology. Consequences of our work include semi-orthogonal deco…

Pipeline decomposes portfolio optimization problems into smaller, solvable subproblems.

In this note, we introduce a class of cell decompositions of PL manifolds and polyhedra which are more general than triangulations yet not as general as CW complexes; we propose calling them PLCW complexes. The main result is an analog of Alexander's theorem: any two PLCW decompositions of the same polyhedron can be ob…

Study of panhandle polynomials of torus links with geometric applications.

Quantum affine bundles are quantum principal bundles with affine quantum structure groups. A general theory of quantum affine bundles is presented. In particular, a detailed analysis of differential calculi over these bundles is performed, including the description of a natural differential calculus over the structure …

If a compact quantum group acts faithfully and smoothly (in the sense of Goswami 2009) on a smooth, compact, oriented, connected Riemannian manifold such that the action induces a natural bimodule morphism on the module of sections of the co-tangent bundle, then it is proved that the quantum group is necessarily commut…

Quantum groups created from disk configuration space homologies.

We generalize the asymptotic faithfulness of the skein quantum $SU(2)$ representations of mapping class groups of orientable closed surfaces to skein $SU(3)$. Skein quantum representations of mapping class groups are different from the Reshetikin-Turaev ones from quantum groups or geometric quantization because they ar…

We expose a K-theoretic approach to study group C*-algebras and C*-algebraic compact quantum groups: 1. The conception of multidimensional geometric quantization and the index of group C*-algebras; 2. the entire homology of noncommutative de Rham currents and the noncommutative Chern characters, and their computation f…

We construct a mathematical framework for twisted N=2 supersymmetric topological quantum field theory on a 4-manifold. Supersymmetry in flat space is defined and the twist homomorphism is constructed, giving us a supermanifold that is the total space of an odd vector bundle over the even 4-manifold. A special category …
