We construct a "Hitchin-type" connection on bundles of non-abelian theta functions on higher-rank Prym varieties, for unramified double covers of curves. We formulate a version of level-rank duality in this Prym setting (building on work of…
Applying the classical Serre-Swan theorem, as this is extended to topological (non-normed) algebras, one attains a classification of elementary particles via their spin-structure. In this context, our argument is virtually based on a…
Instantons, monopoles and vortices have become paradigms of topological structures in field theory and quantum mechanics, with important applications in particle physics, astrophysics, condensed matter physics and mathematics. We have…
This paper furthers existing evidence that quantum computers are capable of computations beyond classical computers. Specifically, we strengthen the collapse of the polynomial hierarchy to the second level if: (i) Quantum computers with…
We prove that the strange duality conjecture of Beauville-Donagi-Tu holds for all curves. We establish first a more extended rank-level duality, interesting in its own right, from which the standard rank-level duality follows by…
The exact free energy of SU($N$) Chern-Simons theory at level $k$ is expanded in powers of $(N+k)^{-2}.$ This expansion keeps rank-level duality manifest, and simplifies as $k$ becomes large, keeping $N$ fixed (or vice versa)---this is the…
Three dimensional SU(2) Chern-Simons theory has been studied as a topological field theory to provide a field theoretic description of knots and links in three dimensions. A systematic method has been developed to obtain the link-invariants…
In this paper we use three-dimensional gauged linear sigma models to make physical predictions for Whitney-type presentations of equivariant quantum K theory rings of partial flag manifolds, as quantum products of universal subbundles and…
A new dynamic SU(3)-structure solution in type-IIA is found by T-dualising a deformation of the Maldacena-Nastase solution along an SU(2) isometry. It is argued that this is dual to a quiver gauge theory with multiple Chern-Simons levels. A…
It is a long-standing question to extend the definition of 3-dimensional Chern-Simons theory to one which associates values to 1-manifolds with boundary and to 0-manifolds. We provide a solution in case the gauge group is a torus. We also…
We propose the scheme realizing the two-level control over the unitary operators $U_k$ creating the required quantum state of the system $S$. These operators are controlled by the superposition state of the auxiliary subsystem $R$ which is…
We lay down a general framework for how to construct a Topological Quantum Field Theory $Z_A$ defined on shaped triangulations of orientable 3-manifolds from any Pontryagin self-dual locally compact abelian group $A$. The partition function…
We propose that the three-dimensional N=2 SU(2) Chern-Simons theory at level 1 coupled to an adjoint chiral multiplet with no superpotential is equivalent to the free field theory consisting of a single massless N=2 chiral multiplet. In…
We have constructed a theory of dual canonical formalism to study the quantum competing systems. In such a system, as the relationship between current and voltage of each, we assumed the duality conditions. We considered competing system of…
Micro-Macro Duality means here the universal mutual relations between the microscopic quantum world and various macroscopic classical levels, which can be formulated mathematically as categorical adjunctions. It underlies a unified scheme…
U(1) Chern-Simons theory is quantized canonically on manifolds of the form $M=\mathbb{R}\times\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a closed orientable surface. In particular, we investigate the role of mapping class group of $\Sigma$ in the process…
A central question in Quantum Computing is how matrices in $SU(2)$ can be approximated by products over a small set of generators. A topology will be defined on $SU(2)$ so as to introduce the notion of a covering exponent which compares the…
In this paper we consider $Z_3$-graded topological symmetries (TSs) in one dimensional quantum mechanics. We give a classification of one dimensional quantum systems possessing these symmetries and show that different classes correspond to…
We give a construction of the abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory from the point of view of a 2+1 dimensional topological quantum field theory. The definition of the quantum theory relies on geometric quantization ideas which have been…
We propose a new classification scheme for quantum entanglement based on topological links. This is done by identifying a non-rigid ring to a particle, attributing the act of cutting and removing a ring to the operation of tracing out the…
