The "Mahler volume" is, intuitively speaking, a measure of how "round" a centrally symmetric convex body is. In one direction this intuition is given weight by a result of Santalo, who in the 1940s showed that the Mahler volume is…
We use generalized Taylor formulae in order to give some simple constructions in the real closure of an \ovfz. We deduce a new, simple quantifier elimination algorithm for \rcvfs and some theorems about constructible subsets of real…
A shaped triangulation is a finite triangulation of an oriented pseudo three manifold where each tetrahedron carries dihedral angles of an ideal hyberbolic tetrahedron. To each shaped triangulation, we associate a quantum partition function…
We study the large $r$ asymptotic behavior of the Turaev-Viro invariants $TV_r(M; e^{\frac{2\pi i}{r}})$ of 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary, under the operation of gluing a Seifert-fibered 3-manifold along a component of $\partial M$. We…
We introduce a finite version of free probability and show the link between recent results using polynomial convolutions and the traditional theory of free probability. One tool for accomplishing this is a seemingly new transformation that…
In this paper we prove another pairing theorem for bordered Floer homology. Unlike the original pairing theorem, this one is stated in terms of homomorphisms, not tensor products. The present formulation is closer in spirit to the usual…
In this paper we study the genralized q-Euler numbers and polynomials. From our results, we derive some interesting congruences related tothe generalized q-Euler numbers.
The goal of the chapter is to present certain aspects of the relationship between the study of simple closed geodesics and Teichm\"uller spaces.
We prove some new results related to Tanaka's formula.
In this paper, we present a construction toward a new type of TQFTs at the crossroads of low-dimensional topology, algebraic geometry, physics, and homotopy theory. It assigns TMF-modules to closed 3-manifolds and maps of TMF-modules to…
Controlling the continuum limit and extracting effective gravitational physics are shared challenges for quantum gravity approaches based on quantum discrete structures. The description of quantum gravity in terms of tensorial group field…
In [1], Theorem 3, the authors proved, in one dimension, a generalization of the Hopf Lemma, and the question arose if it could be extended to higher dimensions. In this paper we present two conjectures as possible extensions, and give a…
In preparing the paper "Some extensions of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity", we had occasion to perform an intricate set of computations pertaining to a single illustrative example. In the end, we have decided not to include the computations in…
The notion of 2-framed three-manifolds is defined. The category of 2-framed cobordisms is described, and used to define a 2-framed three-dimensional TQFT. Using skeletonization and special features of this category, a small set of data and…
In this paper, we construct the alternating multiple q-zeta function(= Multiple Euler q-zeta function) and investigate their properties. Finally, we give some interesting functional eauations related to q-Euler polynomials.
In this paper we adopt a geometric point of view regarding a famous conjecture due to Littlewood in diophantine approximation of real numbers. Following the spirit of the geometric theory of continued fractions, we give a sufficient…
In this note, we describe an interpretation of the (continuous) Fourier transform from the perspective of the Chinese Remainder Theorem. Some related issues, including a new derivation of Poisson summation formula, are discussed.
In this paper we give an introduction to the volume conjecture and its generalizations. Especially we discuss relations of the asymptotic behaviors of the colored Jones polynomials of a knot with different parameters to representations of…
In this note, a new method for deriving the volume of hypersphere is proposed by using probability theory. The explicit expression of the multiple times convolution of the probability density functions we should use is very complicated. But…
In this paper we study certain variational aspects of the volume product functional restricted to the space of small projective deformations of a fixed convex body. In doing so, we provide a short proof of a theorem by Klartag: a strong…
