This is the second of a sequence of papers proving the quantum invariance for ordinary flops over an arbitrary smooth base. In this paper, we complete the proof of the invariance of the big quantum rings under ordinary flops of splitting…
The paper is Part III of our ongoing project to study a case of Crepant Transformation Conjecture: K-equivalence Conjecture for ordinary flops. In this paper we prove the invariance of quantum rings for general ordinary flops, whose local…
For ordinary flops, the correspondence defined by the graph closure is shown to give equivalence of Chow motives and to preserve the Poincar\'e pairing. In the case of simple ordinary flops, this correspondence preserves the big quantum…
Covariant codes are quantum codes such that a symmetry transformation on the logical system could be realized by a symmetry transformation on the physical system, usually with limited capability of performing quantum error correction (an…
This work is devoted to the study of the foundations of quantum K-theory, a K-theoretic version of quantum cohomology theory. In particular, it gives a deformation of the ordinary K-ring K(X) of a smooth projective variety X, analogous to…
We consider quantum invariants of 3-manifolds associated with arbitrary simple Lie algebras. Using the symmetry principle we show how to decompose the quantum invariant as the product of two invariants, one of them is the invariant…
Quantum error correction and symmetry arise in many areas of physics, including many-body systems, metrology in the presence of noise, fault-tolerant computation, and holographic quantum gravity. Here we study the compatibility of these two…
Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…
Algebraic approach to the integrability condition called shape invariance is briefly reviewed. Various applications of shape-invariance available in the literature are listed. A class of shape-invariant bound-state problems which represent…
In this paper, the suggested similarity between micro and macro-cosmos is extended to quantum behavior, postulating that quantum mechanics, like general relativity and classical electrodynamics, is invariant under discrete scale…
For every rational homology 3-sphere with 2-torsion only we construct a unified invariant (which takes values in a certain cyclotomic completion of a polynomial ring), such that the evaluation of this invariant at any odd root of unity…
In our earlier work math.QA/9808015 some results on integral representations of functions in quantum disc were announced. It was then shown in math.QA/9808037 that the validity of those results is related to the invariance of kernels of…
Quantum sheaf cohomology is a deformation of the cohomology ring of a sheaf. In recent years, this subject had an impetuous development in connection with the $(0; 2)$ non-linear sigma model from super-strings theory. The basic piece in…
In this work we introduce a criterion for testing general covariance in effective quantum gravity theories. It adapts the analysis of invariance under general spacetime diffeomorphisms of the Einstein-Hilbert action to the case of effective…
This is an expanded version of the third author's lecture in String-Math 2015 at Sanya. It summarizes some of our works in quantum cohomology. After reviewing the quantum Lefschetz and quantum Leray--Hirsch, we discuss their applications to…
We study the local equivalence problem for Riemannian submersions under fiber-preserving isometries using differential invariants. After briefly recalling the vertical--horizontal splitting, the O'Neill tensors $A$ and $T$, and the mean…
We discover quantum Hall like jumps in the saturation spectral rigidity in the semiclassical spectrum of a modified Kepler problem as a function of the interval center. These jumps correspond to integer decreases of the radial winding…
Another Bell test "loophole" - imperfect rotational invariance - is explored, and novel realist ideas on parametric down-conversion as used in recent "quantum entanglement" experiments are presented. The usual quantum theory of entangled…
Topological quantum error correction codes are currently among the most promising candidates for efficiently dealing with the decoherence effects inherently present in quantum devices. Numerically, their theoretical error threshold can be…
