We present a general way to define a topology on orthomodular lattices. We show that in the case of a Hilbert lattice, this topology is equivalent to that induced by the metrics of the corresponding Hilbert space. Moreover, we show that in…

Topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) are symmetric monoidal functors out of cobordism categories. In dimension two, oriented TQFTs are famously classified by commutative Frobenius algebras. In the unoriented setting, the…

In this paper, we prove that for any odd prime larger than 3, the modular group representation associated to the SO$(p)_2$-TQFT can be defined over the ring of integers of a cyclotomic field. We will provide explicit integral bases. In the…

Using face algebras (i.e. algebras of L-operators of IRF models), we construct modular tensor categories with positive definite inner product, whose fusion rules and S-matrices are the same as (or slightly different from) those obtained by…

We provide a general construction of integral TQFTs over a general commutative ring, $\mathbf{k}$, starting from a finite Hopf algebra over $\mathbf{k}$ which is Frobenius and double balanced. These TQFTs specialize to the Hennings…

We construct a simple topological invariant of certain 3-manifolds, including quotients of the 3-sphere by finite groups, based on the fact that the tangent bundle of an orientable 3-manifold is trivialisable. This invariant is strong…

For a positive integer r, an r-spin topological quantum field theory is a 2-dimensional TQFT with tangential structure given by the r-fold cover of SO_2 . In particular, such a TQFT assigns a scalar invariant to every closed r-spin surface…

In this brief sequel to a previous article, we recall the notion of a cut cellular surface (CCS), being a surface with boundary, which is cut in a specified way to be represented in the plane, and is composed of 0-, 1- and 2-cells. We…

We propose a construction of lattices from (skew-) polynomial codes, by endowing quotients of some ideals in both number fields and cyclic algebras with a suitable trace form. We give criteria for unimodularity. This yields integral and…

We introduce the 3-alterfold topological quantum field theory (TQFT) by extending the quantum invariant of 3-alterfolds. The bases of the TQFT are explicitly characterized and the Levin-Wen model is naturally interpreted in 3-alterfold TQFT…

Using the $U_q^Hsl_2$ non-semisimple invariants of 3-manifolds at odd roots of unity, we construct maps on the Kauffman bracket skein module at roots of unity of order twice an odd number, having any possible abelian non central character…

We determine explicit quantum seeds for classes of quantized matrix algebras. Furthermore, we obtain results on centers and block diagonal forms {of these algebras.} In the case where $q$ is {an arbitrary} root of unity, this further…

Topological orders are a prominent paradigm for describing quantum many-body systems without symmetry-breaking orders. We present a topological quantum field theoretical (TQFT) study on topological orders in five-dimensional spacetime…

In this paper we develop a theory for constructing an invariant of closed oriented 3-manifolds, given a certain type of Hopf algebra. Examples are given by a quantised enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra, or by a semisimple…

This is an invited contribution to the 2nd edition of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics. We give an overview of 3-dimensional topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) and the corresponding quantum invariants of 3-manifolds. We…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of fixed rank matrices with integer coefficients over a number field K/Q and bounded norm. As an application, we derive an approximate Rogers integral formula for discrete sets of module…

In this work, we introduce a definition of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) on Euclidean lattices in $\R^n$, that generalizes the $n$-th fold DFT of the integer lattice $\Z^n$ to arbitrary lattices. This definition is not applicable for…

We construct a new family, indexed by the odd integers $N\geq 1$, of $(2+1)$-dimensional quantum field theories called {\it quantum hyperbolic field theories} (QHFT), and we study its main structural properties. The QHFT are defined for…

For a root of unity $\zeta$ of odd prime order, we restrict coefficients of non-semisimple quantum representations of mapping class groups associated with the small quantum group $\mathfrak{u}_\zeta \mathfrak{sl}_2$ from $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta)$…

Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…
