This paper establishes a relation between scale-free networks and Markov chains, and proposes a computation framework for degree distributions of scale-free networks. We first find that, under the BA model, the degree evolution of…
We analyse in detail the language of partially non-abelian Deligne cohomology and of twisted differential K-theory, in order to describe the geometry of type II superstring backgrounds with D-branes. This description will also provide the…
The total homology of the loop space of the configuration space of ordered distinct n points in R^m has a structure of a Hopf algebra defined by the 4-term relations if m>2. We describe a relation of between the cohomology of this loop…
We describe the primitive middle-dimensional cohomology $\mathbb{H}$ of a compact simplicial toric complete intersection variety in terms of a twisted de Rham complex. Then this enables us to construct a concrete algorithm of formal flat…
Let M be a closed, connected manifold, and LM its loop space. In this paper we describe closed string topology operations in h_*(LM), where h_* is a generalized homology theory that supports an orientation of M. We will show that these…
We formulate scalar field theories in a curved braided $L_\infty$-algebra formalism and analyse their correlation functions using Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization. We perform detailed calculations in cubic braided scalar field theory up to…
The de Rham complex arises naturally when studying problems in electromagnetism and fluid mechanics. Stable numerical methods to solve these problems can be obtained by using a discrete de Rham complex that preserves the structure of the…
This is a paper about geometry of (iterated) variations. We explain why no sources of divergence are built into the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) Laplacian, whence there is no need to postulate any ad hoc conventions such as "$\delta(0)=0$" and…
Recently, the study of topological structures in photonics has garnered significant interest, as these systems can realize robust, non-reciprocal chiral edge states and cavity-like confined states that have applications in both linear and…
We consider an open string version of the topological twist previously proposed for sigma-models with G2 target spaces. We determine the cohomology of open strings states and relate these to geometric deformations of calibrated submanifolds…
The interplay of high-order Van Hove singularities and topology plays a central role in determining the nature of the electronic correlations governing the phase of a system with unique signatures characterising their presence. Layered van…
Feigin and Fuchs have given a well-known construction of intertwining operators between "Fock-type" modules over the Virasoro algebra. The intertwiners are obtained via contour integration of certain "screening operators" over top homology…
In this paper we investigate the topological properties of the space of differential chains 'B(U) defined on an open subset U of a Riemannian manifold M. We show that 'B(U) is not generally reflexive, identifying a fundamental difference…
We propose the refined topological string correspondence to the expectation values of half-BPS Wilson loop operators in 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theory partition function on the Omega-deformed background $\mathbb{R}^4_{\epsilon_{1,2}}\times…
We define new topological theories related to sigma models whose target space is a 7 dimensional manifold of G_2 holonomy. We show how to define the topological twist and identify the BRST operator and the physical states. Correlation…
In this paper, we present a deep learning-based reduced-order model (DL-ROM) for the stability prediction of unsteady 3D fluid-structure interaction systems. The proposed DL-ROM has the format of a nonlinear state-space model and employs a…
We explore the special structure of the top-dimensional homology of any compact triangulable space $X$ of dimension $d$. Since there are no $(d+1)$-dimensional cells, the top homology equals the top cycles and is thus a free abelian group.…
We introduce a common domain of definition for the loop product and the loop coproduct, reduced loop homology, on which they combine to a unital infinitesimal anti-symmetric bialgebra structure. In particular, a relation conjectured by…
We study deformations of topological closed strings. A well-known example is the perturbation of a topological closed string by itself, where the associative OPE product is deformed, and which is governed by the WDVV equations. Our main…
We extend the structure of string topology from mapping spaces to embedding spaces $Emb(S^n,M)$. This extension comes from an action of the cleavage operad, a coloured $E_{n+1}$-operad. For all values of $n \in \mathbb{N}$, this gives an…
