This paper introduces a novel topology, referred to as the star topology, on finite graphs. By treating vertices and edges as points in a unified space, we explore continuous maps between Bare representations of a graph and their…

We calculate the index and nullity of the three orientable focal manifolds of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres with three distinct principal curvatures. It turns out that the index is equal to the dimension of the ambient Euclidean…

We consider a model of the classical spinning particle in which the coadjoint orbits of the Poincare group are parametrized by two pairs of canonically conjugate four vectors, one representing the standard position and momentum variables…

We consider homogeneous abelian vector fields in an expanding universe. We find a mechanical analogy in which the system behaves as a particle moving in three dimensions under the action of a central potential. In the case of bounded and…

We demonstrate that topological defects in a rational conformal field theory can be described by a classifying algebra for defects - a finite-dimensional semisimple unital commutative associative algebra whose irreducible representations…

Topological invariants are global properties of the ground-state wave function, typically defined as winding numbers in reciprocal space. Over the years, a number of topological markers in real space have been introduced, allowing to map…

We investigate the three-dimensional, time-reversal invariant topological superconductors with generic interaction by their response to external fields. The first description is a gravitational topological field theory, which gives a $Z_2$…

In many interacting particle systems, tagged particles move diffusively upon subtracting a drift. General techniques to prove such `invariance principles' are available for reversible processes (Kipnis-Varadhan) and for non-reversible…

The variational argument is presented to establish the attainability of homogeneity of degree one in the number of particles for any functional $F[n, f]$ that depends on both the state variable $f$ and the particle count $n$. Euler's…

A universal topological marker has been proposed recently to map the topological invariants of Dirac models in any dimension and symmetry class to lattice sites. Using this topological marker, we examine the conditions under which the…

We consider topological indices I that are sums of f(deg(u)) f(deg(v)), where {u,v} are adjacent vertices and f is a function. The Randi{\'c} connectivity index or the Zagreb group index are examples for indices of this kind. In earlier…

Unless another thing is stated one works in the $C^\infty$ category and manifolds have empty boundary. Let $X$ and $Y$ be vector fields on a manifold $M$. We say that $Y$ tracks $X$ if $[Y,X]=fX$ for some continuous function $f\colon…

We introduce a very natural topology on the set of total orderings of monomials of any algebra having a countable basis over a field. This topological space and some notable subspaces are compact. This topological framework allows us to…
