To each local field (including the real or complex numbers) we associate a quantum dilogarithm and show that it satisfies a pentagon identity and some symmetries. Using an angled version of these quantum dilogarithms, we construct three…
We find two bases for the lattices of the SU(2)-TQFT-theory modules of the torus over given rings of integers. We use variant of the bases defined in [GMW]for the lattices of the SO(3)-TQFT-theory modules of the torus. Moreover, we discuss…
The ability to implement the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) efficiently on a quantum computer facilitates the advantages offered by a variety of fundamental quantum algorithms, such as those for integer factoring, computing discrete…
We construct 3-dimensional once-Extended Topological Quantum Field Theories (ETQFTs for short) out of (possibly non-semisimple) modular categories, and we explicitly identify linear categories and functors in their image. The circle…
We construct a new family of exact quantum field theories modeled on hyperbolic geometry, called {\it quantum hyperbolic field theories} (QHFTs). The QHFTs are defined for a $(2+1)$-bordism category based on the set of compact oriented…
We study the virtual Euler characteristics of sheaves over Quot schemes of curves, establishing that these invariants fit into a topological quantum field theory (TQFT) valued in $\mathbb{Z}[[q]]$. We show that the three-pointed genus-zero…
Faltings; Gabber and Ramero introduced almost mathematics. In another way, almost mathematics can be characterized bilocalization abelian category of modules mentioned in Quillen's unpublished note. Applying the concept of Quillen's…
We describe a method to implement finite group global and gauged $q$-form symmetries into the axiomatic structure of $d$-dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) in terms of bordisms decorated by cohomology classes. Namely, on a…
The goal of the present paper is the calculation of the equivariant twisted K-theory of a compact Lie group which acts on itself by conjugations, and elements of a TQFT-structure on the twisted K-groups. These results are originally due to…
The quantization of the Teichm\"uller theory has led to the formulation of the so-called Teichm\"uller TQFT for 3-manifolds. In this paper we initiate the study of "supersymmetrization" of the Teichm\"uller TQFT, which we call the super…
A shaped triangulation is a finite triangulation of an oriented pseudo three manifold where each tetrahedron carries dihedral angles of an ideal hyberbolic tetrahedron. To each shaped triangulation, we associate a quantum partition function…
We consider a cobordism category whose morphisms are punctured connect sums of $S^1 \times S^2$'s (wormhole spaces) with embedded admissibly colored banded trivalent graphs. We define a TQFT on this cobordism category over the field of…
I propose a new mathematical form for the quantum theory of gravity coupled to matter. The motivation is from the connection between CSW TQFT and the Ashtekar variables. I also connect the algebraic structure of TQFT with some thoughts…
We show that for any fixed $(2+1)$-dimensional TQFT over $\mathbb{C}$ of either Turaev-Viro-Barrett-Westbury or Reshetikhin-Turaev type, the problem of (exactly) computing its invariants on closed 3-manifolds is either solvable in…
We review our construction of the Teichm\"uller TQFT. We recall our volume conjecture for this TQFT and the examples for which this conjecture has been established. We end the paper with a brief review of our new formulation of the…
We extend the construction of the Hennings TQFT for ribbon Hopf algebras to the case of ribbon quasi-Hopf algebras as defined by Drinfeld. Calculations proceed in a similar fashion to the ordinary Hopf algebra case, but also require the…
A straightforward relationship between the two approaches to 3-dimensional topological invariants, one of them put forward by Witten in the framework of topological quantum field theory, and the second one proposed by Kohno in terms of…
We construct a cohomology theory for oriented links using singular cobordisms and a special type of 2-dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT), categorifying the quantum sl(2) invariant. In particular, we give a description of…
An infinite-dimensional Lie Algebra is proposed which includes, in its subalgebras and limits, most Lie Algebras routinely utilized in physics. It relies on the finite oscillator Lie group, and appears applicable to twisted noncommutative…
We define a symmetric monoidal (4,3)-category with duals whose objects are certain enriched multi-fusion categories. For every modular tensor category $\mathcal{C}$, there is a self enriched multi-fusion category $\mathfrak{C}$ giving rise…
