Topologically nontrivial states, the solitons, emerge as elementary excitations in 1D electronic systems. In a quasi 1D material the topological requirements originate the spin- or charge- roton like excitations with charge- or spin- kinks…
We explore discrete approaches in LQG where all fields, the gravitational tetrad, and the matter and energy fields, are encoded implicitly in a graph instead of being additional data. Our graph should therefore be richer than a simple…
We present an alternative formalism for modeling spin. The ontological elements of this formalism are base-2 sequences of length $n$. The machinery necessary to model physics is then developed by considering correlations between base-2…
We introduce a recurrence which we term the multidimensional cube recurrence, generalizing the octahedron recurrence studied by Propp, Fomin and Zelevinsky, Speyer, and Fock and Goncharov and the three-dimensional cube recurrence studied by…
The $J_1-J_3$ Heisenberg spin models with nearest-neighbor ($J_1$) and additional isotropic three-site ($J_3$) spin interactions remain relatively less explored, although such types of competing exchange terms can naturally emerge from…
The zero modes method is applied in order to get action of the monodromy matrix entries onto off-shell Bethe vectors in quantum integrable models associated with $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_N)$-invariant $R$-matrices. The action formulas allow to…
In this article we discuss an implementation of renormalization group ideas to spin foam models, where there is no a priori length scale with which to define the flow. In the context of the continuum limit of these models, we show how the…
For a given smooth $2$-knot in $S^4$, we relate the existence of a smooth Seifert hypersurface of a certain class to the existence of irreducible $ SU(2)$-representations of its knot group. For example, we see that any smooth $2$-knot…
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs), originally developed for natural language processing, hold great promise for accurately describing strongly correlated quantum many-body systems. Here, we employ 2D RNNs to investigate two prototypical…
Complex systems can be effectively modeled via graphs that encode networked interactions, where relations between entities or nodes are often quantified by signed edge weights, e.g., promotion/inhibition in gene regulatory networks, or…
In the present work some geometric and topological implications of noncommutative Wilson loops are explored via the Seiberg-Witten map. In the abelian Chern-Simons theory on a three dimensional manifold, it is shown that the effect of…
In the paper an explicit formula for an arbitrary $6j$-symbol for finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_3$ is derived. A $6j$-symbol is written as a result of substitution of $\pm 1$ into a series of…
We study the 4-d holomorphic Spin Foam amplitude on arbitrary connected 2-complexes and degrees of divergence. With recently developed tools and truncation scheme, we derive a formula for a certain class of graphs, which allows us to write…
We determine the fate of interacting fermions described by the Hamiltonian $H=\textbf{p}\cdot \textbf{J}$ in three-dimensional topological semimetals with linear band crossing, where $\textbf{p}$ is momentum and $\textbf{J}$ are the…
Spin foams are candidate state-sum models for transition amplitudes in quantum gravity. An active research subject is to identify the possible divergences of spin foam models, or alternatively to show that models are finite. We will discuss…
Integrable spin systems possess interesting geometrical and gauge invariance properties and have important applications in applied magnetism and nanophysics. They are also intimately connected to the nonlinear Schr\"odinger family of…
These notes are based on lectures given by the author at the Summer School on Teichm\"uller dynamics, mapping class groups and applications in Grenoble, France, in June 2018 and at the Oberwolfach Seminar on Anisotropic Spaces and their…
Following our earlier work we argue in detail for the equivalence of the nonlinear $\sigma$ model with Hopf term at~$\theta=\pi/2s$ ~and an interacting spin-s theory. We give an ansatz for spin-s operators in the $\sigma$ model and show the…
An open question akin to the slice-ribbon conjecture asks whether every ribbon knot can be represented as a symmetric union. Next to this basic existence question sits the question of uniqueness of such representations. Eisermann and Lamm…
We propose an explicit spin-foam amplitude for Lorentzian gravity in three dimensions, allowing for both space- and time-like boundaries. The model is based on two main requirements: that it should be structurally similar to its well-known…
