We introduce the notion of modular $q$-holonomic modules whose fundamental matrices define a cocycle with improved analyticity properties and show that the generalised $q$-hypergeometric equation, as well as three key $q$-holonomic modules…

The low-lying excitations of a quantum Hall state on a disk geometry are edge excitations. Their dynamics is governed by a conformal field theory on the cylinder defined by the disk boundary and the time variable. We give a simple and…

We describe the integral equivariant cohomology ring of a weighted projective space in terms of piecewise polynomials, and thence by generators and relations. We deduce that the ring is a perfect invariant, and prove a Chern class formula…

We describe a cohomological framework for measurement based quantum computation, in which symmetry plays a central role. Therein, the essential information about the computational output is contained in topological invariants, namely…

Quasi-elliptic cohomology is a variant of elliptic cohomology theories. It is the orbifold K-theory of a space of constant loops. For global quotient orbifolds, it can be expressed in terms of equivariant K-theories. Thus, the constructions…

We prove the analog of Kostant's Theorem on Lie algebra cohomology in the context of quantum groups. We prove that Kostant's cohomology formula holds for quantum groups at a generic parameter $q$, recovering an earlier result of Malikov in…

We construct Chern-Simons bundles as $\mathrm{Aut}^{+}P$-equivariant $U(1)$ -bundles with connection over the space of connections $\mathcal{A}_{P}$ on a principal $G$-bundle $P\rightarrow M$. We show that the Chern-Simons bundles are…

Topological materials are characterized by integer invariants that underpin their robust quantized electronic features, as famously exemplified by the Chern number in the integer quantum Hall effect. Yet, in most candidate systems, the…

Quantum sheaf cohomology is a deformation of the cohomology ring of a sheaf. In recent years, this subject had an impetuous development in connection with the $(0; 2)$ non-linear sigma model from super-strings theory. The basic piece in…

The Coleman-Mandula (CM) theorem states that the Poincar\'e and internal symmetries of a Minkowski spacetime quantum field theory cannot combine nontrivially in an extended symmetry group. We establish an analogous result for quantum field…

We clarify relations between the higher dimensional quantum Hall effect and A-class topological insulator. In particular, we elucidate physical implications of the higher dimensional non-commutative geometry in the context of A-class…

The topological valley Hall effect was predicted as a consequence of the bulk topology of electronic systems. Now it has been observed in photonic crystals, showing that both topology and valley are innate to classical as well as quantum…

Considering three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory, either coupled to matter or with a Yang-Mills term, we show the validity of a trace identity, playing the role of a local form of the Callan-Symanzik equation, in all orders of perturbation…

We consider periodic quantum Hamiltonians on the torus phase space (Harper-like Hamiltonians). We calculate the topological Chern index which characterizes each spectral band in the generic case. This calculation is made by a semi-classical…

The quantum anomalous Hall effect refers to the quantization of Hall effect in the absence of applied magnetic field. The quantum anomalous Hall effect is of topological nature and well suited for field-free resistance metrology and…

In this paper we use invariant theory to develop the notion of cohomological detection for Type I classical Lie superalgebras. In particular we show that the cohomology with coefficients in an arbitrary module can be detected on smaller…

The spin quantum Hall effect is a relative of the integer quantum Hall effect, characterized by integer quantized spin Hall conductance. In this work, we formulate and investigate a quantum network model consisting of $\textsf{N}$ channels…

As a laboratory for loop quantum gravity, we consider the canonical quantization of the three-dimensional Chern-Simons theory on a noncompact space with the topology of a cylinder. Working within the loop quantization formalism, we define…

It has been recently pointed out that black holes of constant curvature with a "chronological singularity" can be constructed in any spacetime dimension. These black holes share many common properties with the 2+1 black hole. In this…

We prove that under certain conditions, the quantum cohomology of a positively monotone compact symplectic manifold is a deformation of the symplectic cohomology of the complement of a simple crossings symplectic divisor. We also prove…
