Graphons $W$ can be used as stochastic models to sample graphs $G_n$ on $n$ nodes for $n$ arbitrarily large. A graphon $W$ is said to have the $H$-property if $G_n$ admits a decomposition into disjoint cycles with probability one as $n$…

String diagrams turn algebraic equations into topological moves that have recurring shapes, involving the sliding of one diagram past another. We individuate, at the root of this fact, the dual nature of polygraphs as presentations of…
We consider a mean-field Hamiltonian for a $d_{x^2-y^2}+(p+ip)$ superconductor(SC) in presence of spin-density-wave(SDW) order. This is due to the fact that the non-commutativity of any two orders produces the third one. The energy spectrum…
Topological states of matter are robust quantum phases, characterised by propagating or localised edge states in an insulating bulk. Topological boundary states can be triggered by various mechanisms, for example by strong spin-orbit…
