Isoradial dimer models were introduced in \cite{Kenyon3} - they consist of dimer models whose underlying graph satisfies a simple geometric condition, and whose weight function is chosen accordingly. In this paper, we prove a conjecture of…
We define solvable quantum mechanical systems on a Hilbert space spanned by bipartite ribbon graphs with a fixed number of edges. The Hilbert space is also an associative algebra, where the product is derived from permutation group…
We use the concept of a Kirchhoff resistor network (alternatively random walk on a network) to probe connected graphs and produce symmetry revealing canonical labelings of the graph(s) nodes and edges.
This paper initiates the study of quantum computing within the constraints of using a polylogarithmic ($O(\log^k n), k\geq 1$) number of qubits and a polylogarithmic number of computation steps. The current research in the literature has…
The Jones polynomial, discovered in 1984, is an important knot invariant in topology. Among its many connections to various mathematical and physical areas, it is known (due to Witten) to be intimately connected to Topological Quantum Field…
The ribbon cocycle invariant is defined by means of a partition function using ternary cohomology of self-distributive structures (TSD) and colorings of ribbon diagrams of a framed link, following the same paradigm introduced by Carter,…
One of the main difficulties in studying Quantum Field Theory, in the perturbative regime, is the calculation of D-dimensional Feynman integrals. In general, one introduces the so-called Feynman parameters and associated with them the…
This note relates topics in statistical mechanics, graph theory and combinatorics, lattice quantum field theory, super quantum mechanics and string theory. We give a precise relation between the dimer model on a graph embedded on a torus…
We propose a new set of Master Integrals which can be used as a basis for certain multiloop calculations in massless gauge field theories. In these theories we consider three-point Feynman diagrams with arbitrary number of loops. The…
We propose an unexpected twist to description of the geometry and topology of configurations of n straight lines considered as a whole 3D entity (because the lines are inseparably linked pairwise while having linking numbers 1/2 or -1/2)…
We study the knot invariant based on the quantum dilogarithm function. This invariant can be regarded as a non-compact analogue of Kashaev's invariant, or the colored Jones invariant, and is defined by an integral form. The 3-dimensional…
Building on the approach of Bar-Natan and Van der Veen to universal knot invariants using (perturbed) Gaussian functions, we develop a Gaussian model to compute the Alexander polynomial $\Delta_{\mathcal{K}}(T)$ of an oriented knot…
Creating and manipulating anyons and symmetry defects in topological phases, especially those with a non-Abelian character, constitutes a primitive for topological quantum computation. We provide a physical protocol for implementing the…
A topological quantum field theory of non-abelian differential forms is investigated from the point of view of its possible applications to description of polynomial invariants of higher-dimensional two-component links. A path-integral…
We show that a topological quantum computer based on the evaluation of a Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT invariant of knots can always be arranged so that the knot diagrams with which one computes are diagrams of hyperbolic knots. The…
A brief review of a self-contained genuinely three-dimensional monodromy-matrix based non-perturbative covariant path-integral approach to {\it polynomial invariants} of knots and links in the framework of (topological) quantum Chern-Simons…
We develop a systematic projector-based Feynman diagram framework that intrinsically encodes quantum geometry for nonlinear optical responses. By explicitly incorporating geometric quantities such as the quantum geometric tensor, quantum…
We consider two seemingly unrelated problems, the calculation of the WKB expansion of the harmonic oscillator wave functions and the counting the number of Feynman diagrams in QED or in many-body physics and show that their solutions are…
We construct the quantum curve for the Baker-Akhiezer function of the orbifold Gromov-Witten theory of the weighted projective line $\mathbb P[r]$. Furthermore, we deduce the explicit bilinear Fermionic formula for the (stationary)…
We employ an algebraic procedure based on quantum mechanics to propose a `quantum number theory' (QNT) as a possible extension of the `classical number theory'. We built our QNT by defining pure quantum number operators ($q$-numbers) of a…
