We describe discrete symmetries of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with gauge group associated to outer automorphisms of , and their corresponding defects. We show that the gauge theory partition function with defects can be computed as a path integral over the space of twisted -bundles, and calculate it ex…

The goal of this paper is twofold. First we prove a rigidity estimate, which generalises the theorem on geometric rigidity of Friesecke, James and Müller to 1-forms with non-vanishing exterior derivative. Second we use this estimate to prove a kind of spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry for some models of cryst…
Study on symmetry defects of complete intersections in complex space.
We study the topology of smectic defects in two and three dimensions. We give a topological classification of smectic point defects and disclination lines in three dimensions. In addition we describe the combination rules for smectic point defects in two and three dimensions, showing how the broken translational symmet…
The state sums defining the quantum hyperbolic invariants (QHI) of hyperbolic oriented cusped -manifolds can be split in a "symmetrization" factor and a "reduced" state sum. We show that these factors are invariants on their own, that we call "symmetry defects" and "reduced QHI", provided the manifolds are endowed w…
Spin TFTs created by gauging line defects in 3D.
This is the second in a series of papers discussing in the framework of gerbe theory canonical and geometric aspects of the 2d nonlinear sigma model in the presence of conformal defects in the worldsheet. Employing the formal tools worked out in the first paper of the series, 1101.1126 [hep-th], a thorough analysis of …
We study supersymmetric probe M5-branes in the AdS_4 solution that arises from M5-branes wrapped on a hyperbolic 3-manifold M_3. This amounts to introducing internal defects within the framework of the 3d-3d correspondence. The BPS condition for a probe M5-brane extending along all of AdS_4 requires it to wrap a surfac…
Extended symmetries and anomalies in compactified 6d SCFTs on various internal manifolds.
We introduce defects, with internal gauge symmetries, on a knot and Seifert surface to a knot into the combinatorial construction of finite gauge-group Dijkgraaf-Witten theory. The appropriate initial data for the construction are certain three object categories, with coefficients satisfying a partially degenerate cocy…

Study of symmetries in 2D Yang-Mills theory, including orbifolds and higher forms.
Defines state sum models with defects in 3-manifolds.
The homotopy theory of topological defects in ordered media fails to completely characterize systems with broken translational symmetry. We argue that the problem can be understood in terms of the lack of rotational Goldstone modes in such systems and provide an alternate approach that correctly accounts for the intera…
The study examines K-polystability on Fano 4-folds with specific Lefschetz defects.
Scheme resolves super-brane topology via equivariant structures.
In this paper, we survey recent results on index defects of elliptic operators on manifolds with boundary. Index defects are similar to the Hirzebruch signature defects in topology, where the defects appear as the correction terms to the signature formula on manifolds with boundary. For some natural classes of elliptic…
Study of knotted defects in smectic liquid crystals using topological knot theory.
We define the sigma-model action for world-sheets with embedded defect networks in the presence of a three-form field strength. We derive the defect gluing condition for the sigma-model fields and their derivatives, and use it to distinguish between conformal and topological defects. As an example, we treat the WZW mod…
Alexander polynomial degree correlates with knot defect, proving conjecture for defect zero.
We introduce a Bayesian defect detector to facilitate the defect detection on the motion blurred images on rough texture surfaces. To enhance the accuracy of Bayesian detection on removing non-defect pixels, we develop a class of reflected non-local prior distributions, which is constructed by using the mode of a distr…

Graph-based ML improves defect prediction in software development.
Simplified 3D Dijkgraaf-Witten theory with defects explained geometrically.
The angle defect, which is the standard way to measure curvature at the vertices of polyhedral surfaces, goes back at least as far as Descartes. Although the angle defect has been widely studied, there does not appear to be in the literature an axiomatic characterization of the angle defect. We give a characterization …
Defect of knot polynomials remains invariant under certain braid substitutions.
Anomaly detection refers to the task of finding unusual instances that stand out from the normal data. In several applications, these outliers or anomalous instances are of greater interest compared to the normal ones. Specifically in the case of industrial optical inspection and infrastructure asset management, findin…

New theory captures framing anomaly in gauge theory.
New theorem disproves Angle Defect for super triangles.
Classical elasticity is concerned with bodies that can be modeled as smooth manifolds endowed with a reference metric that represents local equilibrium distances between neighboring material elements. The elastic energy associated with a configuration of a body in classical elasticity is the sum of local contributions …
Using the technique of higher derived brackets developed by Voronov, we construct a homotopy Loday algebra in the sense of Ammar and Poncin associated to any symplectic -manifold. The algebra we obtain has a particularly nice structure, in that it accommodates the Dorfman bracket of a Courant algebroid as the binary…
In this paper, partially invariant solutions (PISs) method is applied in order to obtain new four-dimensional Einstein Walker manifolds. This method is based on subgroup classification for the symmetry group of partial differential equations (PDEs) and can be regarded as the generalization of the similarity reduction m…
A modular tensor category gives rise to a Reshetikhin-Turaev type topological quantum field theory which is defined on 3-dimensional bordisms with embedded -coloured ribbon graphs. We extend this construction to include bordisms with surface defects which in turn can meet along line defects. …
A topological defect separating a pair of two-dimensional CFTs is a codimension one interface along which all components of the stress-energy tensor glue continuously. We study topological defects of the bosonic, (0,1)- and (0,2)-supersymmetric sigma models in two dimensions. We find a geometric classification of such …
We present a homogenization theorem for isotropically-distributed point defects, by considering a sequence of manifolds with increasingly dense point defects. The loci of the defects are chosen randomly according to a weighted Poisson point process, making it a continuous version of the first passage percolation model.…

New conditions ensure points can be uniquely represented by combinations of variety elements.
We show that Bonnesen's isoperimetic defect has a systolic analog for Loewner's torus inequality. The isosystolic defect is expressed in terms of the probabilistic variance of the conformal factor of the metric g with respect to the flat metric of unit area in the conformal class of g.
Graph coloring is explained using a topological field theory with defects.
Recognition of defects in concrete infrastructure, especially in bridges, is a costly and time consuming crucial first step in the assessment of the structural integrity. Large variation in appearance of the concrete material, changing illumination and weather conditions, a variety of possible surface markings as well …
In this paper, using the method of moving frames, we generalise some of Terracini's results on varieties with tangent defect. In particular, we characterise varieties with higher order osculating defect in terms of Jacobians of higher fundamental forms and moreover we characterise varieties with "small" higher fundamen…
Deep learning methods are becoming widely used for restoration of defects associated with fluorescence microscopy imaging. One of the major challenges in application of such methods is the availability of training data. In this work, we propose a unified method for reconstruction of multi-defect fluorescence microscopy…
Extends a formula for the homomorphism defect of a signature map to coloured braids.
In this paper, we provide a construction of a state-sum model for finite gauge-group Dijkgraaf-Witten theory on surfaces with codimension 1 defects. The construction requires not only that the triangulation be subordinate to the filtration, but flag-like: each simplex of the triangulation is either disjoint from the de…
