A virtual $n$-string is a chord diagram with $n$ core circles and a collection of arrows between core circles. We consider virtual $n$-strings up to virtual homotopy, compositions of flat virtual Reidemeister moves on chord diagrams. Given a virtual 1-string $α$, Turaev associated a based matrix that encodes invariants…

Chiral string integrands simplify to ambitwistor string integrands in the tensionless limit.

Perturbative string amplitudes are correctly derived from the string geometry theory, which is one of the candidates of a non-perturbative formulation of string theory. In order to derive non-perturbative effects rather easily, we formulate topological string geometry theory. We derive the perturbative partition functi…

String backgrounds yield simplified Hull-Strominger system solutions.

In the paper, we study numerically the projections of the real exchange rate dynamics onto the string-like topology. Our approach is inspired by the contemporary movements in the string theory. The string map of data is defined here by the boundary conditions, characteristic length, real valued and the method of redist…

The anholonomic frame method is generalized for non--Riemannian gravity models defined by string corrections to the general relativity and metric-affine gravity (MAG) theories. Such spacetime configurations are modeled as metric-affine spaces provided with generic off-diagonal metrics (which can not be diagonalized by …

A virtual string is a scheme of self-intersections of a closed curve on a surface. We study algebraic invariants of strings as well as two equivalence relations on the set of strings: homotopy and cobordism. We show that the homotopy invariants of strings form an infinite dimensional Lie group. We also discuss connecti…

A virtual string can be defined as an equivalence class of planar diagrams under certain kinds of diagrammatic moves. Virtual strings are related to virtual knots in that a simple operation on a virtual knot diagram produces a diagram for a virtual string. In this paper we consider three operations on a virtual string …

There is an interpretation of open string field theory in algebraic topology. An interpretation of closed string field theory can be deduced from this open string theory to obtain as well the interpretation of open and closed string field theory combined.

New formulas link string bordism to integers.

Extended Alexander groups are used to define an invariant for open virtual strings. Examples of non-commuting open strings and a ribbon-concordance obstruction are given. An example is given of a slice virtual open string that is not ribbon. Definitions are extended to open n-strings.

String topology coproduct and Turaev cobracket computed for surfaces.

We present a finite-dimensional and smooth formulation of string structures on spin bundles. It uses trivializations of the Chern-Simons 2-gerbe associated to this bundle. Our formulation is particularly suitable to deal with string connections: it enables us to prove that every string structure admits a string connect…

Cobordism of virtual string links on $n$ strands is a combinatorial generalization of link cobordism. There exists a bijection between virtual string links up to cobordisms and elements of the group $\mathbb{Z}^{n(n-1)}$. This paper also shows that virtual string links up to unwelded equivalence are classified by those…

The discovery of novel materials and functional molecules can help to solve some of society's most urgent challenges, ranging from efficient energy harvesting and storage to uncovering novel pharmaceutical drug candidates. Traditionally matter engineering -- generally denoted as inverse design -- was based massively on…

Method constructs 2-bundles over homogeneous spaces.

Introduces string structures linking to loop spaces.

The actions, anomalies, and quantization conditions allow the M2-brane and the M5-brane to support, in a natural way, structures beyond Spin on their worldvolumes. The main examples are twisted String structures. This also extends to twisted String^c structures, which we introduce and relate to twisted String structure…

A virtual string is a scheme of self-intersections of a closed curve on a surface. We introduce virtual strings and study their geometric properties and homotopy invariants. We also discuss connections between virtual strings, Gauss words, and virtual knots.

Study topological G₂ and Spin(7) strings at 1-loop using double complexes.

In this note we revisit the subject of anomaly cancelation in string theory and M-theory on manifolds with String structure and give three observations. First, that on String manifolds there is no E8 x E8 global anomaly in heterotic string theory. Second, that the description of the anomaly in the phase of the M-theory…

We explore the use of random forest and gradient boosting, two powerful tree-based machine learning algorithms, for the detection of cosmic strings in maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), through their unique Gott-Kaiser-Stebbins effect on the temperature anisotropies.The information in the maps is compressed…

Text classification on drug SMILES strings yields competitive drug type classification results.

A virtual $n$-string $α$ is a collection of $n$ oriented smooth generic loops on a surface $M$. A stabilization of $α$ is a surgery that results in attaching a handle to $M$ along disks avoiding $α$, and the inverse operation is a destabilization of $α$. We consider virtual $n$-strings up to virtual homotopy, i.e., seq…

We derive a recursion relation for hyperbolic string vertices and apply it to string field theory.

In this paper we study the topology of the cobordism category of open and closed strings. This is a 2-category in which the objects are compact one-manifolds whose boundary components are labeled by an indexing set (the set of "D-branes"), the 1-morphisms are cobordisms of manifolds with boundary, and the 2-morphisms a…

The multi dimensional string objects are introduced as a new alternative for an application of string models for time series forecasting in trading on financial markets. The objects are represented by open string with 2-endpoints and D2-brane, which are continuous enhancement of 1-endpoint open string model. We show ho…

We study harmonic maps from surfaces coupled to a scalar and a two-form potential, which arise as critical points of the action of the full bosonic string. We investigate several analytic and geometric properties of these maps and prove an existence result by the heat flow method.

Developing tools for computing string amplitudes with hyperbolic vertices.

In this paper we use 3-manifold techniques to illuminate the structure of the string link monoid. In particular, we give a prime decomposition theorem for string links on two components as well as give necessary conditions for string links to commute under the stacking operation.

Numbers and numerical vectors account for a large portion of data. However, recently the amount of string data generated has increased dramatically. Consequently, classifying string data is a common problem in many fields. The most widely used approach to this problem is to convert strings into numerical vectors using …

Analyzes string topology operations using Chen's integrals and homotopy transfer.

Extends Goldberg's result for string links over surfaces.

In this paper we compute the sharp lower bounds for the crossing number of $n$-string $k$-loop essential tangles. For essential tangles with only string components, we characterise the ones with the minimum crossing number for a given number of components, both when the tangle has knotted strings or only unknotted stri…

Decomposes string links in a surface into prime components.

Statistical models usually require vector representations of categorical variables, using for instance one-hot encoding. This strategy breaks down when the number of categories grows, as it creates high-dimensional feature vectors. Additionally, for string entries, one-hot encoding does not capture information in their…

In these lecture notes we discuss a body of work in which Morse theory is used to construct various homology and cohomology operations. In the classical setting of algebraic topology this is done by constructing a moduli space of graph flows, using homotopy theoretic methods to construct a virtual fundamental class, an…
