We derive the explicit form of the basic monodromy operator for the quantum loop superalgebra $\mathrm{U}_q(\mathcal{L}(\mathfrak{sl}_{2|1}))$. Two significant additional results emerge from this derivation: simple expressions for the…

In this note we explore monodromy defects for non-invertible symmetries in Maxwell theory, exploiting the conformal mapping to $AdS_{3} \times S^{1}$. With this approach we recover the spectrum of the defect conformal primaries. We also…
The paper conducts a second-order variational analysis for an important class of nonpolyhedral conic programs generated by the so-called second-order/Lorentz/ice-cream cone $Q$. From one hand, we prove that the indicator function of $Q$ is…
$q$-analogues of quantities in mathematics involve perturbations of classical quantities using the parameter $q$, and revert to the original quantities when $q$ goes $1$. An important example is the $q$-analogues of binomial coefficients…
We study symplectic properties of the monodromy map of the Schr\"odinger equation on a Riemann surface with a meromorphic potential having second-order poles. At first, we discuss the conditions for the base projective connection, which…
In this paper, we study the Stokes phenomenon of the cyclotomic Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation, and prove that its two types of Stokes matrices satisfy the Yang-Baxter and reflection equations respectively. We then discuss its isomonodromy…

Seiberg-Witten solutions of four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories possess rich but involved integrable structures. The goal of this paper is to show that an isomonodromy problem provides a unified framework for understanding those…
We study the quantum matrix algebra $R_{21}x_1x_2=x_2x_1 R$ and for the standard $2\times 2$ case propose it for the co-ordinates of $q$-deformed Euclidean space. The algebra in this simplest case is isomorphic to the usual quantum matrices…
Hamiltonians whose symbols are not simply real valued, but matrix or, more generally, endomorphism valued functions appear in many places in physics, examples being the Dirac equation, multicomponent wave equations like electrodynamics in…
We consider the sequence $( Q_n )_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of semi-meander polynomials which are used in the enumeration of semi-meandric systems (a family of diagrams related to the classical stamp-folding problem). We show that for a fixed natural…
We study the quantization of the moduli space of multiplicative Higgs bundles through the lens of five-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theories in $\Omega$-background. We extend the 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theoretical…

We study monodromy defects in $O(N)$ symmetric scalar field theories in $d$ dimensions. After a Weyl transformation, a monodromy defect may be described by placing the theory on $S^1\times H^{d-1}$, where $H^{d-1}$ is the hyperbolic space,…
