We study the structure of soft gluon corrections to multi-leg scattering amplitudes in a non-Abelian gauge theory by analysing the corresponding product of semi-infinite Wilson lines. We prove that diagrams exponentiate such that the colour…
A quandle is an algebraic system which excels at describing limited symmetries of a space. We introduce the concept of Schl\"{a}fli quandles which are defined relating to chosen rotational symmetries of regular tessellations. On the other…
We identify the group of homomorphisms $\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathcal{GF}}(F,\mathbf{RU}_{\mathbb Q})$ in the category of ($\operatorname{fin}$)-global functors to the rationalization of the unitary representation ring functor and deduce…
Habiro lifted the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant of an integer homology 3-sphere (a complex-valued function on the set of complex roots of unity) to an element of the Habiro ring. We lift the colored Jones polynomial of a knot, with…
Quantum knot invariants (like colored HOMFLY-PT or Kauffman polynomials) are a distinguished class of non-perturbative topological invariants. Any known way to construct them (via Chern-Simons theory or quantum R-matrix) starts with a…
Quandle colorings and cocycle invariants are studied for composite knots, and applied to chirality and abelian extensions. The square and granny knots, for example, can be distinguished by quandle colorings, so that a trefoil and its mirror…
In this paper, we first get a criterion formula for whether a differential form is holomorphic with respect to the generalized complex structure induced by $\epsilon$. Next, we get the local extensions of $\overline\partial$-closed forms on…
We generalize the notion of expanded degenerations and pairs for a simple degeneration or smooth pair to the case of smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks. We then define stable quotients on the classifying stacks of expanded degenerations and…
We develop a new approximation scheme aiming at extracting higher-point correlation functions from the JIMWLK evolution, in the limit where the number of colors is large. Namely, we show that by exploiting the structure of the 'virtual'…
We present a new conjectural symmetry of the colored Alexander polynomial, that is the specialization of the quantum $\mathfrak{sl}_N$ invariant widely known as the colored HOMFLY-PT polynomial. We provide arguments in support of the…
We construct a central extension of the smooth Deligne cohomology group of a compact oriented odd dimensional smooth manifold, generalizing that of the loop group of the circle. While the central extension turns out to be trivial for a…
We extend the results of Deligne and Illusie on liftings modulo $p^2$ and decompositions of the de Rham complex in several ways. We show that for a smooth scheme $X$ over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, the truncations of the…
Ten types of discrete Fourier transforms of Weyl orbit functions are developed. Generalizing one-dimensional cosine, sine and exponential, each type of the Weyl orbit function represents an exponential symmetrized with respect to a subgroup…
We use the Chern-Simons quantum field theory in order to prove a recently conjectured limitation on the 1/K expansion of the Jones polynomial of a knot and its relation to the Alexander polynomial. This limitation allows us to derive a…
We shall interpret the null hexagonal Wilson loop (or, equivalently, six gluon scattering amplitude) in 4D ${\cal N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills, or, precisely, an integral representation of its matrix part, via an ADHM-like instanton construction.…
The theory of the Kauffman bracket, which describes the Jones polynomial as a sum over closed circles formed by the planar resolution of vertices in a knot diagram, can be straightforwardly lifted from sl(2) to sl(N) at arbitrary N -- but…
We construct relative Gromov--Witten theory with expanded degenerations in the normal crossings setting and establish a degeneration formula for the resulting invariants. Given a simple normal crossings pair $(X,D)$, we show that there…
Fox coloring provides a combinatorial framework for studying dihedral representations of the knot group. The less well-known concept of Dehn coloring captures the same data. Recent work of Carter-Silver-Williams clarifies the relationship…
For ${\cal N}=2^*$ theory with $U(N)$ gauge group we evaluate expectation values of Wilson loops in representations described by a rectangular Young tableau with $n$ rows and $k$ columns. The evaluation reduces to a two-matrix model and we…
This paper is part of a series of papers in which the asymptotic theory and appropriate symbolic computer code are developed to compute the asymptotic expansion of the solution of an n-th order ordinary differential equation. The paper…
