Just a few years after the inception of quantum mechanics, there has been a research program using the nonclassical values of some quasiprobability distributions to delineate the nonclassical aspects of quantum phenomena. In particular, in…
This study introduces the quantum force wave equation (QFWE) as a general theory of quantum forces, a novel framework that redefines quantum forces as emergent phenomena arising from the interaction between quantum particles and curved…
Kitchloo and Morava give a strikingly simple picture of elliptic cohomology at the Tate curve by studying a completed version of $S^1$-equivariant $K$-theory for spaces. Several authors (cf [ABG],[KM],[L]) have suggested that an equivariant…
For G a complex reductive group and X a smooth projective or convex quasi-projective polarized G-variety we construct a formal map in quantum K-theory from the equivariant quantum K-theory $QK^G(X)$ to the quantum K-theory of the git…
This article is an elaboration of a talk given at an international conference on Operator Theory, Quantum Probability, and Noncommutative Geometry held during December~20--23, 2004, at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. The lecture…
A group equivariant $KK$-theory for rings will be defined and studied in analogy to Kasparov's $KK$-theory for $C^*$-algebras. It is a kind of linearization of the category of rings by allowing addition of homomorphisms, imposing also…
Generalized differential cohomology theories, in particular differential K-theory (often called "smooth K-theory"), are becoming an important tool in differential geometry and in mathematical physics. In this survey, we describe the…
We explicitly describe cohomology of the sheaf of differential forms with poles along a semiample divisor on a complete simplicial toric variety. As an application, we obtain a new vanishing theorem which is an analogue of the…
The quantum cohomology algebra of a projective manifold X is the cohomology H(X,Q) endowed with a different algebra structure, which takes into account the geometry of rational curves in X. We show that this algebra takes a remarkably…
Using projective spaces as examples of toric manifolds, we examine K-theoretic fixed point localization. On the one hand, we will see how the permutation-equivariant theory of the point target space emerges as a necessary ingredient. On the…
We describe a variant of K-theory for spaces with involution, built from vector bundles which are sent to their negative under the involution.
Using the Kontsevich's moduli space of stable maps, we define the equivariant quantum cohomology for generalized flag varieties and make a rigorous computation of quantum cohomology of flag varieties.
We describe an attempt to make quantum K-theory (of stable maps) more amenable to the self-duality/rigidity arguments of arXiv:1512.07363 in quasimap theory, by twisting the virtual structure sheaf. For $\mathbb{P}^n$ this twist produces…
A class of solutions to the WDVV equations is provided by period matrices of hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces, with or without punctures. The equations themselves reflect associativity of explicitly described multiplicative algebra of…
We define a notion of formal quantum field theory and associate a formal quantum field theory to K-theoretical intersection theories on Hilbert schemes of points on algebraic surfaces. This enables us to find an effective way to compute…
We consider a twisted version of quantum groups corepresentations. This generalization amounts to include in the theory the case where quantum space coordinates and its endomorphism matrix entries belong to a non-commutative quadratic…
Quasi-elliptic cohomology is a variant of Tate K-theory. 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. In this paper we show how this theory…
We prove a `Whitney' presentation, and a `Coulomb branch' presentation, for the torus equivariant quantum K theory of the Grassmann manifold $\mathrm{Gr}(k;n)$, inspired from physics, and stated in an earlier paper. The first presentation…
Using a multicomponent version of the CKP hierarchy we construct the prepotential of the WDVV equations.
In this paper, we establish an analog of Dijkgraaf-Witten's theorem for $g=1$ invariants in permutation-equivariant quantum K-theory. This result generalizes the findings of \cite{Tang1} and \cite{Tang2}.
