Four-fermi models in dimensionality $2<d<4$ exhibit an ultra-violet stable renormalization group fixed point at a strong value of the coupling constant where chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken. The resulting field theory describes…

We use unimodular ribbon categories to construct quantum invariants of ribbon surfaces in $4$-dimensional $2$-handlebodies up to $1$-isotopy. In the process, we recover invariants due to Bobtcheva-Messia, Broda-Petit,…

This paper presents an improvement to the four-dimensional spinfoam model with cosmological constant ($\Lambda$-SF model) in loop quantum gravity. The original $\Lambda$-SF model, defined via ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ Chern-Simons theory on…

We give a general formula for the defect appearing in the Verdier-type Riemann-Roch formula for Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes in the case of a regular embedding. Our proof of this formula uses the constructible function version of…

We consider a random conductance model on the $d$-dimensional lattice, $d\in[2,\infty)\cap\mathbb{N}$, where the conductances take values in $(0,\infty)$ and are however not assumed to be bounded from above and below. We assume that the law…

When 4-dimensional general relativity is extended by a 3-dimensional gravitational Chern-Simons term an apparent violation of diffeormorphism invariance is extinguished by the dynamical equations of motion for the modified theory. The…

We explore aspects of the correspondence between Seifert 3-manifolds and 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric theories with a distinguished abelian flavour symmetry. We give a prescription for computing the squashed three-sphere partition…

We describe defects - dislocations and disclinations - in the framework of Riemann-Cartan geometry. Curvature and torsion tensors are interpreted as surface densities of Frank and Burgers vectors, respectively. Equations of nonlinear…

We consider N = 3 supersymmetric Chern-Simons gauge theories with product unitary and orthosymplectic groups and bifundamental and fundamental fields. We study the partition functions on an S^3 by using the Kapustin-Willett-Yaakov matrix…

The Chern-Simons theory defined on a 3-dimensional manifold with boundary is written as a two-dimensional field theory defined only on the boundary of the three-manifold. The resulting theory is, essentially, the pullback to the boundary of…

The affine Gaudin model, associated with an untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra, is known to arise from a certain gauge fixing of 4-dimensional mixed topological-holomorphic Chern-Simons theory in the Hamiltonian framework. We show that the…

Descent equations play an important role in the theory of characteristic classes and find applications in theoretical physics, e.g. in the Chern-Simons field theory and in the theory of anomalies. The second Chern class (the first…

I formulate a deformation of the dimensional-regularization technique that is useful for theories where the common dimensional regularization does not apply. The Dirac algebra is not dimensionally continued, to avoid inconsistencies with…

We propose a new partially topological theory in three dimensions which couples Chern-Simons theory to matter. The 3-manifolds needed for this construction admit transverse holomorphic foliation (THF). The theory depends only on the choice…

This paper proposes a recursive diffeomorphism based regression method for one-dimensional generalized mode decomposition problem that aims at extracting generalized modes $\alpha_k(t)s_k(2\pi N_k\phi_k(t))$ from their superposition…

We consider the Faddeev formulation of general relativity (GR), which can be characterized by a kind of $d$-dimensional tetrad (typically $d$=10) and a non-Riemannian connection. This theory is invariant w. r. t. the global, but not local,…

Recovered finite element methods (R-FEM) have been recently introduced for meshes consisting of simplicial and/or box-type meshes. Here, utilising the flexibility of R-FEM framework, we extend their definition on polygonal and polyhedral…

In this note we consider the symplectic reduction of a four-dimensional holomorphic Chern-Simons theory recently introduced in arXiv:1908.02289 for describing integrable field theories. We work out explicitly the case of the lambda deformed…
