In the two parts of this paper we solve a problem of De Rham, proving that Reidemeister torsion invariants determine topological equivalence of linear G-representations, for G a finite cyclic group. Methods in controlled K-theory and…
Statistical Topology emerged since topological aspects continue to gain importance in many areas of physics. It is most desirable to study topological invariants and their statistics in schematic models that facilitate the identification of…
We prove exact complexity dichotomies for two quantum invariants of closed oriented three-manifolds, with the categorical data fixed. For a modular category $\mathcal{C}$, computing the Reshetikhin--Turaev invariant $Z_{\mathcal{C}}(M)$…
The topological order of a (2+1)D topological phase of matter is characterized by its chiral central charge and a unitary modular tensor category that describes the universal fusion and braiding properties of its anyonic quasiparticles. I…
We introduce a many-body topological invariant, called the topological disorder parameter (TDP), to characterize gapped quantum phases with global internal symmetry in (2+1)d. TDP is defined as the constant correction that appears in the…

We introduce a new lower-Vietoris-type hypertopology in a way similar to that with which a new upper-Vietoris-type hypertopology was introduced in G. Dimov and D. Vakarelov, "On Scott consequence systems", Fundamenta Informaticae, 33…
We review the Reidemeister torsion, Ray-Singer's analytic torsion and the Cheeger-M"uller theorem. We describe the analytic torsion of the de Rham complex twisted by a flux form introduced by the current authors and recall its properties.…
We investigate the Ulrich complexity of certain examples of Brauer--Severi varieties, twisted flags and involution varieties and establish lower and upper bounds. Furthermore, we relate Ulrich complexity to the categorical representability…
We prove the formula \begin{equation*} \text{cat}_G(X\vee Y)=\max\{\text{cat}_G(X),\text{cat}_G(Y)\} \end{equation*} for the equivariant category of the wedge $X\vee Y$. As a direct application, we have that the wedge $\bigvee_{i=1}^m X_i$…
Dwyer, Weiss, and Williams have recently defined the notions of parametrized topological Euler characteristic and parametrized topological Reidemeister torsion which are invariants of bundles of compact topological manifolds. We show that…
We establish upper bounds for the complexity of Seifert fibered manifolds with nonempty boundary. In particular, we obtain potentially sharp bounds on the complexity of torus knot complements.
The discovery of topological insulators has reformed modern materials science, promising to be a platform for tabletop relativistic physics, electronic transport without scattering, and stable quantum computation. Topological invariants are…
This is the first part of a two-part work on a unified mathematical theory of gapped and gapless edges of 2d topological orders. We analyze all the possible observables on the 1+1D world sheet of a chiral gapless edge of a 2d topological…
We obtain an explicit formula for the best lower bound for the higher topological complexity, TC_k(P^n), of real projective space implied by mod 2 cohomology.
The purpose of this article is to define the topological realization of a simplicial presheaf and to prove (under appropriate conditions) that it is homotopy-invariant under Illusie weak equivalence. In particular this applies to the site…
We derive a general upper bound for the number of incidences with $k$-dimensional varieties in ${\mathbb R}^d$. The leading term of this new bound generalizes previous bounds for the special cases of $k=1, k=d-1,$ and $k= d/2$, to every…
We define the topological multiplicity of an invertible topological system $(X,T)$ as the minimal number $k$ of real continuous functions $f_1,\cdots, f_k$ such that the functions $f_i\circ T^n$, $n\in\mathbb Z$, $1\leq i\leq k,$ span a…
In this paper, we begin constructing a new finite-dimensional topological quantum field theory (TQFT) for three-manifolds, based on group PSL(2,C) and its action on a complex variable by fractional-linear transformations, by providing its…
Topological photonics has attracted increasing attention in recent years due to the unique opportunities it provides to manipulate light in a robust way immune to disorder and defects. Up to now, diverse photonic platforms, rich physical…
