We classify the pivotal structures of the Drinfeld center $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C})$ of a finite tensor category $\mathcal{C}$. As a consequence, every pivotal structure of $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C})$ can be obtained from a pair $(\beta, j)$…

We consider generalized Haagerup categories such that $1 \oplus X$ admits a $Q$-system for every non-invertible simple object $X$. We show that in such a category, the group of order two invertible objects has size at most four. We describe…

We define and study a bigraded knot invariant whose Euler characteristic is the Alexander polynomial, closely connected to knot Floer homology. The invariant is the homology of a chain complex whose generators correspond to Kauffman states…

It was believed that modular data are enough to distinguish different modular categories (and topological orders in 2+1-dimensions). Then counterexamples to this conjecture were found by Mignard and Schauenburg in 2017. In this work, we…

We define an invariant of tangles and framed tangles given a finite crossed module and a pair of functions, called a Reidemeister pair, satisfying natural properties. We give several examples of Reidemeister pairs derived from racks,…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of group cohomology for two indecomposable module categories over a group-theoretical fusion category ${\mathcal C}$ to be equivalent. This concludes the classification of such module…

We use the computer algebra system GAP to classify modular data up to rank 12. This extends the previously obtained classification of modular data up to rank 6. Our classification includes all the modular data from modular tensor categories…

We define new higher-order Alexander modules $\mathcal{A}_n(C)$ and higher-order degrees $\delta_n(C)$ which are invariants of the algebraic planar curve $C$. These come from analyzing the module structure of the homology of certain…

In this paper, we show the existence of a near-group category of type $\mathbb{Z} / 4\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} / 4\mathbb{Z}+16$ and compute the modular data of its Drinfeld center. We prove that a modular data of rank $10$ can be…

We describe the simplest non-trivial modular category $\mathfrak{E}$ with two simple objects. Then we extract from this category the invariant for non-oriented links in 3-sphere and two invariants for 3-manifolds: the complex-valued Turaev…

We construct knot invariants categorifying the quantum knot variants for all representations of quantum groups. We show that these invariants coincide with previous invariants defined by Khovanov for sl(2) and sl(3) and by…

The topological framework of circuit topology has recently been introduced to complement knot theory and to help in understanding the physics of molecular folding. Naturally evolved linear molecular chains, such as proteins and nucleic…

We classify projective toric manifolds whose dual variety is not a hypersurface in the dual projective space. Under the standard dictionary between toric geometry and convex geometry, they correspond to certain convex Delzant integer…

If M is a Drinfeld module over a local function field L, we may view M as a dynamical system, and consider its filled Julia set J. If J^0 is the connected component of the identity, relative to the Berkovich topology, we give a…

We construct unitary modular categories for a general class of coset conformal field theories based on our previous study of these theories in the algebraic quantum field theory framework using subfactor theory. We also consider the…

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a Hom-finite, Krull-Schmidt, 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated category with a rigid object $R$. Let $\Lambda=\operatorname{End}_{\mathcal{D}}R$ be the endomorphism algebra of $R$. We introduce the notion of mutation of maximal…

This paper introduces and investigates a class of noncommutative spacetimes that I will call ``T-Minkowski,'' whose quantum Poincar\'e group of isometries exhibits unique and physically motivated characteristics. Notably, the coordinates on…

The chiral central charge $c_-$ is a key topological invariant of the edge characterizing the bulk two-dimensional chiral topological order, but its direct evaluation in microscopic spin models has long been a challenge, especially for…

A finite bosonic or fermionic symmetry can be described uniquely by a symmetric fusion category $\mathcal{E}$. In this work, we propose that 2+1D topological/SPT orders with a fixed finite symmetry $\mathcal{E}$ are classified, up to $E_8$…

Starting from a (small) rigid C$^*$-tensor category $\mathscr{C}$ with simple unit, we construct von Neumann algebras associated to each of its objects. These algebras are factors and can be either semifinite (of type II$_1$ or II$_\infty$,…
