For a ring $R$, we denote by $R[\mathcal L]$ the free $R$-module spanned by the isotopy classes of singular links in $\mathbb S^3$. Given two invertible elements $x,t \in R$, the HOMFLY-PT skein module of singular links in $\mathbb S^3$…
We sketch a construction of Legendrian Symplectic Field Theory (SFT) for conormal tori of knots and links. Using large $N$ duality and Witten's connection between open Gromov-Witten invariants and Chern-Simons gauge theory, we relate the…
Weaving knots $W(p, n)$ of type $(p, n)$ denote an infinite family of hyperbolic knots which have not been addressed by the knot theorists as yet. Unlike the well-known $(p,n)$ torus knots, we do not have a closed-form expression for…
We consider the generating function (prepotential) for Gromov-Witten invariants of rational elliptic surface. We apply the local mirror principle to calculate the prepotential and prove a certain recursion relation, holomorphic anomaly…
Our aim is to prove that two formal power series of importance to quantum topology are Gevrey. These series are the Kashaev invariant of a knot (reformulated by Huynh and the second author) and the Gromov norm of the LMO of an integral…
We prove resurgence properties for the Borel transform of a formal power series associated to elements in the Habiro ring that come from radial limits of partial theta series via strange identities. As an application, we prove a conjecture…
Colored HOMFLY-PT invariant, the generalization of the colored Jones polynomial, is one of the most important quantum invariants of links. This paper is devoted to investigating the basic structures of the colored HOMFLY-PT invariants of…
Simple boundary expressions for the k-th power of the cotangent line class on the moduli space of stable 1-pointed genus g curves are found for k >= 2g. The method is by virtual localization on the moduli space of maps to the projective…
The spectrum of $(p,q)$ bound states of F- and D-strings has a distinctive square-root tension formula that is hoped to be a hallmark of fundamental cosmic strings. We point out that the Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) bound for…
Sturmian bound states emerging at a fixed energy and numbered by a complete set of real eigencouplings are considered. For Sturm-Schroedinger equations which are manifestly non-Hermitian we outline the way along which the correct…
The asymptotic expansion of quantum knot invariants in complex Chern-Simons theory gives rise to factorially divergent formal power series. We conjecture that these series are resurgent functions whose Stokes automorphism is given by a pair…
We show that for any Legendrian link $L$ in the $1$-jet space of $S^1$ the $2$-graded ruling polynomial, $R^2_L(z)$, is determined by the Thurston-Bennequin number and the HOMFLY-PT polynomial. Specifically, we recover $R^2_L(z)$ as a…
The Kontsevich-Soibelman wall-crossing formula is known to control the jumping behavior of BPS state counting indices in four-dimensional theories with $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetry. The formula can take two equivalent forms: a…
Following a generic approach that leads to Bogomolny-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) soliton solutions by imposing self-duality, we investigate three different types of non-Hermitian field theories. We consider a complex version of a logarithmic…
The quantization of the mirror curve to a toric Calabi-Yau threefold gives rise to quantum-mechanical operators, whose fermionic spectral traces produce factorially divergent power series in the Planck constant. These asymptotic expansions…
We introduce the deformed fermionic numbers, corresponding to the skein relations, the main characteristics of knots and links. These fermionic numbers allow one to restore the skein relations. For the Alexander (Jones) skein relation we…
We define a HOMFLY version of the category $\text{Rep}_q\text{P}$ of quantum representations of a parabolic subgroup $\text{P}\subseteq\text{GL}_{m+n}$ of block triangular matrices. Alongside this category, we construct functors that…
The Harer-Zagier (HZ) transform maps the HOMFLY-PT polynomial into a rational function. For some special knots and links, the latter admits a simple factorised form, which is referred to as HZ factorisation. This property is preserved under…
We provide a new proof of a result of Bessenrodt on the relation among the generating series of reversed plane partitions and skew plane partitions, motivated by the geometric DT/PT wallcrossing formula for local curves recently proved by…
In this paper, we present several new structures for the colored HOMFLY-PT invariants of framed links. First, we prove the strong integrality property for the normalized colored HOMFLY-PT invariants by purely using the HOMFLY-PT skein…
