We consider a natural $q$-deformation of the classical Markov numbers. This $q$-deformation is closely related to $q$-deformed rational numbers recently introduced by two of us. Both notions, those of $q$-rationals and $q$-Markov numbers,…
Markov polynomials are the Laurent-polynomial solutions of the generalised Markov equation $$X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2 = kXYZ, \quad k=\frac{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}{x y z}$$ which are the results of cluster mutations applied to the initial triple $(x, y,…
In this paper, we generalize the Markov triples in two different directions. One is generalization in direction of using the $q$-deformation of rational number introduced by \cite{MO} in connection with cluster algebras, quantum topology…
It is known that all degenerations of the complex projective plane into a surface with only quotient singularities are controlled by the positive integer solutions $(a,b,c)$ of the Markov equation $$x^2+y^2+z^2=3xyz.$$ It turns out that…
Mirror symmetry originally envisions a correspondence between deformations of the A-side and deformations of the B-side. In this paper, we achieve an explicit correspondence in the case of punctured surfaces. The starting point is the…
Markov's equation x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 3xyz is a widely studied topic in number theory, and the structure of its solutions has profound connections with mathematical fields such as combinatorics, hyperbolic geometry, approximation theory, and…
Markov numbers are integers that appear in triples which are solutions of a Diophantine equation, the so-called Markov cubic $$x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 3x y z = 0.$$ A classical topic in number theory, these numbers are related to many areas of…
Markov numbers are integers that appear in the solution triples of the Diophantine equation, $x^2+y^2+z^2=3xyz$, called the Markov equation. A classical topic in number theory, these numbers are related to many areas of mathematics such as…
In this work, we give a purely analytic introduction to the phenomenon of mirror symmetry for quintic threefolds via classical hypergeometric functions and differential equations for them. Starting with a modular map and recent…
We develop further the theory of $q$-deformations of real numbers introduced by Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko, and focus in particular on the class of real quadratic irrationals. Our key tool is a $q$-deformation of the modular group…
We present a geometric realization for all mutation classes of quivers of rank $3$ with real weights. This realization is via linear reflection groups for acyclic mutation classes and via groups generated by $\pi$-rotations for the cyclic…
We provide a superalgebraic analogue of Markov numbers, which are defined as the Grassmann integer solutions to the equation $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + (xy + yz + xz)\epsilon = 3(1 + \epsilon)xyz$, as well as applications to the Decorated Super…
We study some arithmetic properties of the mirror maps and the quantum Yukawa coupling for some 1-parameter deformations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. First we use the Schwarzian differential equation, which we derived previously, to…
It has been shown by Hacking and Prokhorov that if the projective surface X with quotient singularities and self-intersection number 9 has a smoothing to the projective plane, then X is the general fiber of a Q-Gorenstein deformation of the…
We introduce a $q$-deformation of the Pythagoras equation $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$, which is a polynomial version of it different from the standard one. We construct a polynomial analogue, or ``$q$-analogue'', of every primitive Pythagorean…
The concept of $q$-deformation, or ``$q$-analogue'' arises in many areas of mathematics. In algebra and representation theory, it is the origin of quantum groups; $q$-deformations are important for knot invariants, combinatorial…
Inspired by the recent progress by Coates-Corti-Kasprzyk et al. on Mirror Symmetry for del Pezzo surfaces, we show that for any positive integer k the deformation families of del Pezzo surfaces with a single 1/k(1,1) singularity (and no…
We consider a Markov process on non-negative integer arrays of a certain shape, this shape being determined by general parameters in the model which correspond to drifts. In the case where these drifts are trivial, the arrays are reverse…
Let X be a smooth complex projective variety, and let Y in X be a smooth very ample hypersurface such that -K_Y is nef. Using the technique of relative Gromov-Witten invariants, we give a new short and geometric proof of (a version of) the…
The Markov numbers are the positive integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 3xyz$. Already in 1880, Markov showed that all these solutions could be generated along a binary tree. So it became quite usual (and…
