We extend knot contact homology to a theory over the ring $\mathbb{Z}[\lambda^{\pm 1},\mu^{\pm 1}]$, with the invariant given topologically and combinatorially. The improved invariant, which is defined for framed knots in $S^3$ and can be…
We apply Dijkgraaf-Witten invariant over an semiproduct of abelian groups to show that, if the $k/\ell$-surgery along a knot $K$ results in a small Seifert 3-manifold with multiplicities $a_1,a_2,a_3$, then many constraints on…
For $D$ a reduced alternating surface link diagram, we bound the twist number of $D$ in terms of the coefficients of a polynomial invariant. To this end, we introduce a generalization of the homological Kauffman bracket defined by Krushkal.…
The authors recently introduced a new construction of a knot as an extended symmetric union of a knot with a single tangle region. In this paper, we generalize the construction to include multiple tangle regions. The constructed knot $K$…
The five parameter family of multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials is studied with four parameters generically complex. The multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials form an orthogonal system with respect to an explicit (in general complex)…
Let $d\nu$ be a measure in $\mathbb{R}^d$ obtained from adding a set of mass points to another measure $d\mu$. Orthogonal polynomials in several variables associated with $d\nu$ can be explicitly expressed in terms of orthogonal polynomials…
We tackle the study of a type of local asymptotics, known as Mehler--Heine asymptotics, for some $q$--hypergeometric polynomials. Some consequences about the asymptotic behavior of the zeros of these polynomials are discussed. We illustrate…
We define a polynomial measure of multiparticle entanglement which is scalable, i.e., which applies to any number of spin-1/2 particles. By evaluating it for three particle states, for eigenstates of the one dimensional Heisenberg…
We show how to write any Kaehler metric of complex dimension 2 admitting a holomorphic isometry as a simple 1-real-function deformation of a Gibbons-Hawking metric. Hyper-Kaehler metrics with a tri-holomorphic isometry (Gibbons-Hawking…
In Cogdell et al., \it LMS Lecture Notes Series \bf 459, \rm 393--427 (2020), \rm the authors proved an analogue of Kronecker's limit formula associated to any divisor $\mathcal D$ which is smooth in codimension one on any smooth K\"ahler…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the twisted Alexander polynomial for the sequence of SL(n ,C)-representations induced from an irreducible metabelian SL(2, C)-representation of a knot group. We give the limits of the leading coefficients…
It is known that the Alexander polynomial detects fibered knots and 3-manifolds that fiber over the circle. In this note, we show that when the Alexander polynomial becomes inconclusive, the notion of "knot adjacency", studied in the paper…
We extend the state models for Jones and Alexander polynomials of classical links to state models of 2-variable polynomials in the case of singular links. Moreover, we extend both of them to polynomials with d+1 variables for long singular…
Nonsymmetric Askey-Wilson polynomials are usually written as Laurent polynomials. We write them equivalently as 2-vector-valued symmetric Laurent polynomials. Then the Dunkl-Cherednik operator of which they are eigenfunctions, is…
Many classes of orthogonal polynomials satisfy a specific linearization property giving rise to a polynomial hypergroup structure, which offers an elegant and fruitful link to Fourier analysis, harmonic analysis and functional analysis.…
We give sharp lower bounds for the degree of the syzygies involving the partial derivatives of a homogeneous polynomial defining a nodal hypersurface. The result gives information on the position of the singularities of a nodal hypersurface…
Recently, Hang Liu and Hourong Qin came up with a numerical observation about the relation between the Mahler measures of one hyperelliptic and two elliptic families. The discoverers foresee a proof of the identities "by extending ideas in"…
We consider the orthogonal polynomials $\{P_{n}(z)\}$ with respect to the measure $|z-a|^{2N c} {\rm e}^{-N |z|^2} \,{\rm d} A(z)$ over the whole complex plane. We obtain the strong asymptotic of the orthogonal polynomials in the complex…
The hydrogen atom is investigated, within a pseudo-complex extension of the coordinates and momenta, which introduces a minimal length scale (l) and results into a non-commutative Quantum Mechanics. After resuming the pseudo-complex…
In this paper we study the systoles of arithmetic hyperbolic 2- and 3-manifolds. Our first result is the construction of infinitely many arithmetic hyperbolic 2- and 3-manifolds which are pairwise noncommensurable, all have the same…
