We construct two rainbow tensor models with multi-tensors of rank-$3$ and present their $W$-representations. We give the formula of counting number of independent gauge-invariant operators in terms of Hurwitz numbers and establish a…

This paper gives an alternate definition of the Affine Index Polynomial (called the Wriggle Polynomial) using virtual linking numbers and explores applications of this polynomial. In particular, it proves the Cosmetic Crossing Change…

There are many variations on partition functions for graph homomorphisms or colorings. The case considered here is a counting or hard constraint problem in which the range or color graph carries a free and vertex transitive Abelian group…

In this paper, we study the problem of partitioning a graph into connected and colored components called blocks. Using bivariate generating functions and combinatorial techniques, we determine the expected number of blocks when the vertices…

We define two classes of colorings that have odd or even chirality on hexagonal lattices. This parity is an invariant in the dynamics of all loops, and explains why standard Monte-Carlo algorithms are nonergodic. We argue that adding the…

To study embeddings of tangles in knots, we use quandle cocycle invariants. Computations are carried out for the tables of knots and tangles, to investigate which tangles may or may not embed in knots in the tables.

We exactly evaluate the entanglement of a six vertex and a nine vertex graph states which correspond to non ''two-colorable'' graphs. The upper bound of entanglement for five vertices ring graph state is improved to 2.9275, less than upper…

Considering commutator monomials of the non-commutative associative variables $X_1,\ldots,X_n$; we determine the maximal possible number of alternating associative monomials in their noncommutative polynomial expansions. This is achieved by…

A Tangle is a smooth simple closed curve formed from arcs (or ``links'') of circles with fixed radius. Most previous study of Tangles has dealt with the case where these arcs are quarter-circles, but Tangles comprised of thirds and sixths…

We introduce the 2-colour parity. It is a theory of parity for a large class of virtual links, defined using the interaction between orientations of the link components and a certain type of colouring. The 2-colour parity is an extension of…

We study quantum entanglements induced on product states by the action of 8-vertex braid matrices, rendered unitary with purely imaginary spectral parameters (rapidity). The unitarity is displayed via the "canonical factorization" of the…

We study the problem of approximately counting the number of list packings of a graph. The analogous problem for usual vertex coloring and list coloring has attracted a lot of attention. For list packing the setup is similar but we seek a…

Entringer numbers occur in the Andr\'e permutation combinatorial set-up under several forms. This leads to the construction of a matrix-analog refinement of the tangent (resp. secant) numbers. Furthermore, closed expressions for the…

We characterize which graph invariants are partition functions of an edge-coloring model over the complex numbers, in terms of the rank growth of associated `connection matrices'.

We employ the sl(2) foam cohomology to define a cohomology theory for oriented framed tangles whose components are labelled by irreducible representations of U_q(sl(2)). We show that the corresponding colored invariants of tangles can be…

We study the generalisation of Baxter's three-colour problem to a random lattice. Rephrasing the problem as a matrix model problem we discuss the analyticity structure and the critical behaviour of the resulting matrix model. Based on a set…

For any link and for any modulus $m$ we introduce an equivalence relation on the set of non-trivial m-colorings of the link (an m-coloring has values in Z/mZ). Given a diagram of the link, the equivalence class of a non-trivial m-coloring…
