The simplest realization of the inverse seesaw mechanism in a $SU(3)_C \otimes SU(3)_L \otimes U(1)_X$ gauge theory offers striking flavor correlations between rare charged lepton flavor violating decays and the measured neutrino…
We consider the 3-manifold invariant I(M) which is defined by means of the Chern-Simons quantum field theory and which coincides with the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant. We present some arguments and numerical results supporting the…
Certain quantum topological invariants of three manifolds can be written in the form of the Gaussian sum. It is shown that such topological invariants can be approximated efficiently by a quantum computer. The invariants discussed here are…
The Turaev-Viro invariant is defined as a certain state sum calculated on an arbitrary simple spine of a 3-manifold. We specify each term of the sum as 0-term, 1-term or 2-term such that each sum of the terms having the same type is an…

Using Furuta's idea of finite dimensional approximation in Seiberg-Witten theory, we refine Seiberg-Witten Floer homology to obtain an invariant of homology 3-spheres which lives in the S^1-equivariant graded suspension category. In…
In this paper, we study a model for $S^1$-equivariant monopole Floer homology for rational homology three-spheres via a homological device called $\mathcal{S}$-complex. Using the Chern-Simons-Dirac functional, we define an…
We continue the work started in part I (q-alg/9706004) and prove the invariance and universality in the class of finite type invariants of the object defined and motivated there, namely the Aarhus integral of rational homology 3-spheres.…
In our earlier work, we studied the $\hat{Z}$-invariant(or homological blocks) for $SO(3)$ gauge group and we found it to be same as $\hat{Z}^{SU(2)}$. This motivated us to study the $\hat{Z}$-invariant for quotient groups…
The t-invariant can be considered as the Turaev-Viro invariant of order 5 computed for integer colors only. We compute all values of the t-invariant for Seifert manifolds with base sphere and three singular fibers. As a result we show that…
We investigate solutions to a nonlinear integral equation which has a central role in implementing the non-Abelian Gauss's Law and in constructing gauge-invariant quark and gluon fields. Here we concern ourselves with solutions to this same…

The finite gauge transformation, in the submanifold of su(3) introduced in hep-th/9902027, is found to be linear in the gauge functions ${\omega}^a$'s. In this manner, a parameterization of SU(3) in terms of a single real octet vector…
We derive a local, gauge invariant action for the SU(N) non-linear sigma-model in 2+1 dimensions. In this setting, the model is defined in terms of a self-interacting pseudo vector-field \theta_\mu, with values in the Lie algebra of the…
