In this survey, we review how the global structure of the stable homotopy category gives rise to the chromatic filtration. We then discuss computational tools used in the study of local chromatic homotopy theory, leading up to recent…
We show that functions of type $X_n = P[Z^n]$, where $P[t]$ is a periodic function and $Z$ is a generic real number, can produce sequences such that any string of values $X_{s}, X_{s+1}, ...,X_{s+m}$ is deterministically independent of past…
This very speculative sketch suggests that a theory of fundamental groupoids for tensor triangulated categories could be used to describe the ring of integers as the singular fiber in a family of ring-spectra parametrized by a structure…
Directed Algebraic Topology is beginning to emerge from various applications. The basic structure we shall use for such a theory, a 'd-space', is a topological space equipped with a family of 'directed paths', closed under some operations.…
Persistent homology (PH) is a popular tool for topological data analysis that has found applications across diverse areas of research. It provides a rigorous method to compute robust topological features in discrete experimental…
In these notes, the application of Feynman's sum-over-paths approach to thermal phase transitions is discussed. The paradigm of such a spacetime approach to critical phenomena is provided by the high-temperature expansion of spin models.…
We give a leisurely, albeit woefully incomplete, overview of quantum field theory, its relevance to condensed matter systems, and spin systems, which proceeds via a series of illustrative examples. The goal is to provide readers from the…
In recent work, the authors developed a simple method of constructing topological spaces from certain well-behaved partially ordered sets -- those coming from sequences of relations between finite sets. This method associates a given poset…
We introduce the critical Weinstein infinity-category -- the result of stabilizing the category of Weinstein sectors and inverting subcritical morphisms -- and for every finite collection P of integers, construct a P-flexibilization…
Integrated optics are used to achieve astronomical interferometry inside robust and compact materials, improving the instruments stability and sensitivity. In order to perform differential phase measurements at the H$\alpha$ line (656.3 nm)…
A method to create instructive, nonuniform aperture functions using spatial frequency filtering is described. The diffraction from a single slit in the Fresnel limit and the interference from a double slit in the Fraunhofer limit are…
In this talk, we are concerned with the formulation and understanding of the combinatorics of time-ordered n-point functions in terms of the Hopf algebra of field operators. Mathematically, this problem can be formulated as one in…
The weight space of the Ising perceptron in which a set of random patterns is stored is examined using the generating function of the partition function $\phi(n)=(1/N)\log [Z^n]$ as the dimension of the weight vector $N$ tends to infinity,…
This article is a sequel to hep-th/9411050, q-alg/9412017. In Chapter 1 we associate with every Cartan matrix of finite type and a non-zero complex number $\zeta$ an abelian artinian category $\FS$. We call its objects {\em finite…
This article proposes a framework for the study of periodic maps $T$ from a (typically finite) set $X$ to itself when the set $X$ is equipped with one or more real- or complex-valued functions. The main idea, inspired by the time-evolution…
Topology in photonics comes in two distinct flavors: global and local. Global topology considers invariants that are obtained by integrating over the energy band, whereas local topology considers defects, typically vortices, in the…
We consider an ensemble of fully connected networks of N oscillators coupled harmonically with random springs and show, using Random Matrix Theory considerations, that both the average phonon heat current and its variance are…
This sketch argues that work of Hesselholt on the topological Hochschild homology of $\Cp$ extends, using work of Scholze and others, to define complex orientations for a version of topological Hochschild homology for rings of integers in a…
We perform an extensive bootstrap study of Hermitian and non-Hermitian theories based on the novel analytic continuation of $\langle\phi^n\rangle$ or $\langle(i\phi)^n\rangle$ in $n$. We first use the quantum harmonic oscillator to…
Cohen, Moore, and Neisendorfer's work on the odd primary homotopy theory of spheres and Moore spaces, as well as the first author's work on the secondary suspension, predicted the existence of a p-local fibration S^2n-1 --> T --> \Omega…
