We describe a web of well-known dualities connecting quantum field theories in $d=1+1$ dimensions. The web is constructed by gauging ${\bf Z}_2$ global symmetries and includes a number of perennial favourites such as the Jordan-Wigner…

We study the SU(2) Witten--Reshetikhin--Turaev invariant for the Seifert fibered homology spheres with M-exceptional fibers. We show that the WRT invariant can be written in terms of (differential of) the Eichler integrals of modular forms…

This paper initiates the study of hidden variables from the discrete, abstract perspective of quantum computing. For us, a hidden-variable theory is simply a way to convert a unitary matrix that maps one quantum state to another, into a…

We investigate properties which remain invariant under the action of quasi-M\"obius maps of quasi-metric spaces. A metric space is called doubling with constant D if every ball of finite radius can be covered by at most D balls of half the…

We look at explicit ways to bring one or two antiunitary symmetries into a standard form via unitary conjugation. We carefully reproduce Wigner's proof in two special cases, where the antiunitary operators square to $+I$, or to $-I$.…

We characterize real and complex functions which, when applied entrywise to square matrices, yield a positive definite matrix if and only if the original matrix is positive definite. We refer to these transformations as sign preservers.…

We develop a mutation theory for quivers with oriented 2-cycles using a structure called a homotopy, defined as a normal subgroupoid of the quiver's fundamental groupoid. This framework extends Fomin-Zelevinsky mutations of 2-acyclic…

We study the Witten--Reshetikhin--Turaev SU(2) invariant for the Seifert manifold $S^3/\Gamma$ where $\Gamma$ is a finite subgroup of SU(2). We show that the WRT invariants can be written in terms of the Eichler integral of the modular…

Wall-crossing formulas for various flavors of elliptic genus can be obtained using master spaces. We give a topological criterion which implies that such wall-crossing formulas are trivial. Applications are given for: GIT quotients,…

The mapping between the metal-insulator transition of the quantum Hall system and a superfluid-to-insulator transition is revisited based on a disordered anyon model. The one-parameter scaling of the superfluid-to-insulator transition is…

We consider quantum interferences of classically allowed or forbidden electronic trajectories in disordered dielectrics. Without assuming a directed path approximation, we represent a strongly disordered elastic scatterer by its…

An invariant of a model of genus one curve is a polynomial in the coefficients of the model that is stable under certain linear transformations. The classical example of an invariant is the discriminant, which characterizes the singularity…

Quantum phases can be classified by topological invariants, which take on discrete values capturing global information about the quantum state. Over the past decades, these invariants have come to play a central role in describing matter,…

Let $H$ be either a complex inner product space of dimension at least two, or a real inner product space of dimension at least three. Let us fix an $\alpha\in \left(0,\tfrac{\pi}{2}\right)$. The purpose of this paper is to characterize all…

The charge density and pair correlation function of three interacting electrons confined within a two-dimensional disc-like hard wall quantum dot are calculated by full numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. The formation of a…

We prove $\textsf{NP-hardness}$ results for determining whether quivers are mutation equivalent to quivers with given properties. Specifically, determining whether a quiver is mutation-equivalent to a quiver with exactly $k$ arrows between…

Commutators are essential in quantum information theory, influencing quantum state symmetries and information storage robustness. This paper systematically investigates the characteristics of bipartite and multipartite quantum states…

This work investigates preserving and reversing unimodality and convexity properties for sequences under transformations defined by sign-regular kernels. It is shown that these transformations only preserve these properties if the kernels…

In this paper we focus our attention on a particle that follows a unidirectional quantum walk, an alternative version of the nowadays widespread discrete-time quantum walk on a line. Here the walker at each time step can either remain in…

We show that the topological index of a wavefunction, computed in the space of twisted boundary phases, is preserved under Hilbert space truncation, provided the truncated state remains normalizable. If truncation affects the boundary…
