We present a formulation of the Collatz conjecture that is potentially more amenable to modeling and analysis by automated termination checking tools.

With the help of a new program, we do computations concerning the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev representations of mapping class groups. In particular we distinguish some mutant fibered knots. The program can be downloaded from…

We define a universal Teichm\"uller space for locally quasiconformal mappings whose dilatation grows not faster than a certain rate. Paralleling the classical Teichm\"uller theory, we prove results of existence and uniqueness for extremal…

Kreck and Yang Su recently gave counterexamples to a version of the Torelli theorem for hyperk\"ahlerian manifolds as stated by Verbitsky. The initial purpose of this document (which was prepared for a seminar talk) was to extract the…

We first revisit the construction of Quinn's finite total homotopy TQFT, which depends on the choice of a homotopy finite space, $\boldsymbol{B}$. This constitutes a vast generalisation of the Dijkgraaf-Witten TQFT, with a trivial cocycle,…

Motivated by the weak gravity conjecture, arXiv:2108.04594 conjectured that in any CFT, the minimal operator dimension at fixed charge is a convex function of the charge. In this letter we construct a counterexample to this convexity…

This paper discuss an intrinsic relation among congruent relations \cite{CLPZ}, cyclotomic expansion and Volume Conjecture for $SU(n)$ invariants. Motivated by the congruent relations for $SU(n)$ invariants obtained in our previous work…

We formulate a conjectural Lefschetz formula for locally symmetric spaces of finite volume. The formula can be verified in the compact case and for Riemann surfaces.

We prove that the construction of our previous paper math.QA/0103190 yields an invariant of tangle cobordisms.

We propose a version of the volume conjecture that would relate a certain limit of the colored Jones polynomials of a knot to the volume function defined by a representation of the fundamental group of the knot complement to the special…

The main goal of this paper is to provide a group theoretical generalization of the well-known Euler's totient function. This determines an interesting class of finite groups.

The volume conjecture, formulated recently by H. Murakami and J. Murakami, is proved for the case of torus knots.

We study the large $r$ asymptotic behaviour of the Turaev-Viro invariants of oriented Seifert fibered 3-manifolds at the root $q=e^\frac{2\pi i}{r}$. As an application, we prove the volume conjecture for large families of oriented Seifert…

In this paper we deal with problems concerning the volume of the convex hull of two "connecting" bodies. After a historical background we collect some results, methods and open problems, respectively.

We introduce a new concept, `(topological) (vacuum) parallel world, ' which is a new tool to research submanifolds. Roughly speaking, `Observables in (T)QFT' is equal to `a (topological) modification of space-time.' In other words, we give…

We study the representation theory of the quantum Teichmueller space when going to infinity in the classical Teichmueller space. The geometric ingredients are the extension of Thurston's shear coordinates to the augmented Teichmueller space…

We propose a new integral based on Taylor measures, study its properties extensively, and we illustrate that it includes many concepts from mathematics as special cases. In particular, the new integral emerges as a generalization of the…

In this very short note, we give a counterexample to a recent conjecture of Gilmer which would have implied the union-closed conjecture.

Landry, Minsky and Taylor [LMT] introduced two polynomial invariants of veering triangulations -- the taut polynomial and the veering polynomial. We give algorithms to compute these invariants. In their definition [LMT] use only the upper…

We give a relation between the existence of a Zariski decomposition and the behavior of the restricted volume of a big divisor on a smooth (complex) projective variety. Moreover, we give an analytic description of the restricted volume in…
