Let G be a simple complex algebraic group. By using a notion of a G-category we define invariants of tangles with flat G-connections in their complements. We also show that quantized universal enveloping algebras at roots of unity provide…

In quantum geometry, we consider a set of loops, a compact orientable surface and a solid compact spatial region, all inside $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^3 \equiv \mathbb{R}^4$, which forms a triple. We want to define an ambient isotopic…

In this paper we take the first step toward a classification of the approximation complexity of the six-vertex model, an object of extensive research in statistical physics. Our complexity results conform to the phase transition phenomenon…

Let A be a based subspace of Y. Under the assumptions that Y is path-connected and that the reduced diagonal map of A induces the zero map in all mod 2 reduced homology groups, we compute a formula for the mod 2 reduced Poincar\'{e} series…

We introduce amorphic complexity as a new topological invariant that measures the complexity of dynamical systems in the regime of zero entropy. Its main purpose is to detect the very onset of disorder in the asymptotic behaviour. For…

In this paper, we investigate discrete topological complexity $TC(K)$ introduced for situations where the configuration space possesses a simplicial structure. %Simplicial complexes are well-known and commonly used in programming for…

Following an idea of Bendersky-Gitler, we construct an isomorphism between Anderson's and Arone's complexes modelling the chain complex of a map space. This allows us to apply Shipley's convergence theorem to Arone's model. As a corollary,…

We introduce and study the notion of relative rigidity for pairs $(X,\JJ)$ where 1) $X$ is a hyperbolic metric space and $\JJ$ a collection of quasiconvex sets 2) $X$ is a relatively hyperbolic group and $\JJ$ the collection of parabolics…

In the first part of this paper, we consider, in the context of an arbitrary hyperplane arrangement, the map between compactly supported cohomology to the usual cohomology of a local system. A formula (i.e., an explicit algebraic de Rham…

We define and study a certain relative tensor product of subfactors over a modular tensor category. This gives a relative tensor product of two completely rational heterotic full local conformal nets with trivial superselection structures…

The relativistic two-particle quantum mixtures are studied from the topological point of view. The mixture field variables can be transformed in such a way that a kinematical decoupling of both particle degrees of freedom takes place with a…

We introduce a new topological invariant of complex line arrangements in the complex projective plane, derived from the interaction between their complement and the boundary of a regular neighbourhood. The motivation is to identify Zariski…

This paper presents algebraic methods for the study of polynomial relative invariants, when the group G formed by the symmetries and relative symmetries is a compact Lie group. We deal with the case when the subgroup H of symmetries is…

We consider the makespan minimization coupled-tasks problem in presence of compatibility constraints with a specified topology. In particular, we focus on stretched coupled-tasks, i.e. coupled-tasks having the same sub-tasks execution time…

We introduce the notion of the "covering type" of a space, which is more subtle that the notion of Lusternik Schnirelman category. It measures the complexity of a space which arises from coverings by contractible subspaces whose non-empty…

We discuss for an affine variety $Y$ embedded in affine space $X$ two sets of integers attached to $Y\subseteq X$ via local and de Rham cohomology spectral sequences. We give topological interpretations, study them in small dimension, and…
