Although conventional logical systems based on logical calculi have been successfully used in mathematics and beyond, they have definite limitations that restrict their application in many cases. For instance, the principal condition for…
In this paper we study the variation diminishing kernel as a part of the $q$-calculus. We introduce the $q$-Macdonald function a newborne in the family of the $q$-special functions which play a central role in this study.
Degenerations, contractions and deformations of various algebraic structures play an important role in mathematics and physics. There are many different definitions and special cases of these notions. We try to give a general definition…
By analogy with the invariant Q-category defined by Scheerer, Stanley and Tanr\'e, we introduce the notions of Q-sectional category and Q-topological complexity. We establish several properties of these invariants. We also obtain a formula…
We investigate several categories related to transition structures, using a mixture of algebraic and topological methods. We show how two such categories are connected by a contravariant adjunction. This is the most detailed of a family of…
We introduce the notion of mc-biquandles, algebraic structures which have possibly distinct biquandle operations at single-component and multi-component crossings. These structures provide computable homset invariants for classical and…
The aim of this paper is to reformulate the theory of unbounded derived categories, including more recent categories of first and second kind, using the language of $(\infty,1)$-categories.
We study equivariant birationality from the perspective of derived categories. We produce examples of nonlinearizable but stably linearizable actions of finite groups on smooth cubic fourfolds.
Deformation theory can be used to compute the cohomology of a deformed algebra with coefficients in itself from that of the original. Using the invariance of the Euler-Poincare characteristic under deformation, it is applied here to compute…
We define the cohomology and formal deformation theories for algebra and bialgebra categories. We suggest some approaches to finding nontrivial deformations of the categories associated to the quantum groups by the work of Lusztig.
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…
The prediction of graph evolution is an important and challenging problem in the analysis of networks and of the Web in particular. But while the appearance of new links is part of virtually every model of Web growth, the disappearance of…
We identify a subcategory of biracks which define counting invariants of unoriented links, which we call involutory biracks. In particular, involutory biracks of birack rank N=1 are biquandles, which we call bikei. We define counting…
This article is part of a series of works by the authors with the goal of completing a far-reaching program propounded by Deligne, aiming to extend the codimension one part of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem from isomorphism classes…
We discuss the deformation quantization approach for the teaching of quantum mechanics. This approach has certain conceptual advantages which make its consideration worthwhile. In particular, it sheds new light on the relation between…
We are studying the fundamental tools for a quantum calculus based on the Tsallis $q$-exponential In particular we are looking at $q$-Fock spaces, structural identities, as well as rational functions in this context.
This is the second part of an article about q-deformed analogs of spinor calculus. The considerations refer to quantum spaces of physical interest, i.e. q-deformed Euclidean space in three or four dimensions as well as q-deformed Minkowski…
We review the q-deformed spin network approach to Topological Quantum Field Theory and apply these methods to produce unitary representations of the braid groups that are dense in the unitary groups. Our methods are rooted in the bracket…
Relations between differential calculi, quantum groups, integrable systems, and q-analysis are studied. Some new Hirota type formulas are established for qKP along with variations on classical Hirota formulas.
The aim of this paper is to define two link invariants satisfying cubic skein relations. In the hierarchy of polynomial invariants determined by explicit skein relations they are the next level of complexity after Jones, HOMFLY, Kauffman…
