As a toy model for the microscopic description of matter in de Sitter space, we consider a Hamiltonian acting on the spin-j representation of SU(2). This is a model with a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, from which quasinormal modes…
We study bifurcations of periodic orbits in three parameter general unfoldings of certain types quadratic homoclinic tangencies to saddle fixed points. We apply the rescaling technique to first return (Poincar\'e) maps and show that the…
In this note we consider several kind of partition functions of one-dimensional models with nearest - neighbor interactions $I_n, n\in \mathbf{Z}$ and spin values $\pm 1$. We derive systems of recursive equations for each kind of such…
In the context of spinfoam models for quantum gravity, we investigate the asymptotical behavior of the 6j-symbol at next-to-leading order. We compute it analytically and check our results against numerical calculations. The 6j-symbol is the…
We compute transition amplitudes between two spin networks with dipole graphs, using the Lorentzian EPRL model with up to two (non-simplicial) vertices. We find power-law decreasing amplitudes in the large spin limit, decreasing faster as…
We review and extend high energy string BCJ relations in both the fixed angle and Regge regimes. We then give an explicit proof of four point string BCJ relations for all energy. This calculation provides an alternative proof of the one…
The independence polynomial of a hypergraph is the generating function for its independent (vertex) sets with respect to their cardinality. This article aims to discuss several recurrence relations for the independence polynomial using some…
We introduce a novel symmetry for quantum 6j-symbols, which we call the tug-the-hook symmetry. Unlike other known symmetries, it is applicable for any representations, including ones with multiplicities. We provide several evidences in…
We revisit the definition of the 6j-symbols from the modular double of U_q(sl(2,R)), referred to as b-6j symbols. Our new results are (i) the identification of particularly natural normalization conditions, and (ii) new integral…
In this study, novel Hyperbolic spinor sequences of Jacobsthal, Jacobsthal-Lucas and Jacobsthal polynomial, which have not been studied before, are defined by investigating the relationship between spinors, which are important mathematical…
It is known that the colored Jones polynomials of a knot in the 3-dimensional sphere satisfy recursive relations, it is also known that these recursive relations come from recurrence polynomials which have been related, by the AJ…
We study the relation between perturbative knot invariants and the free energies defined by topological string theory on the character variety of the knot. Such a correspondence between SL(2;C) Chern-Simons gauge theory and the topological…
We introduce a class of 2D lattice models that describe the dynamics of intertwiners, or, in a condensed matter interpretation, the fusion and splitting of anyons. We identify different families and instances of triangulation invariant,…
The engineering of topological non-trivial states of matter, using cold atoms, has made great progress in the last decade. Driven by experimental successes, it has become of major interest in the cold atom community. In this work we…
We study the issue of coupling among 4-simplices in the context of spin foam models obtained from a group field theory formalism. We construct a generalisation of the Barrett-Crane model in which an additional coupling between the normals…
We construct a new discrete basis of 4-valent SU(2) intertwiners. This basis possesses both the advantage of being discrete, while at the same time representing accurately the classical degrees of freedom; hence it is coherent. The closed…
Fractional revival occurs between two vertices in a graph if a continuous-time quantum walk unitarily maps the characteristic vector of one vertex to a superposition of the characteristic vectors of the two vertices. This phenomenon is…
We describe the origins of recurrence relations between field theory amplitudes in terms of the construction of Feynman diagrams. In application we derive recurrence relations for the amplitudes of QED which hold to all loop orders and for…
The original spin foam model construction for 4D gravity by Barrett and Crane suffers from a few troubling issues. In the simple examples of the vertex amplitude they can be summarized as the existence of contributions to the asymptotics…
We use Seiberg--Witten-like relations in the topological recursion framework to obtain virtual Euler characteristics for uni- and multicellular maps for ensembles of classic orthogonal polynomials and for ensembles related to nonorientable…
