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…

Torus manifolds are topological generalization of smooth projective toric manifolds. We compute the rational cohomology ring of a class of smooth locally standard torus manifolds whose orbit space is a connected sum of simple polytopes.

In this paper we introduce the Cheeger-Simons cohomology of a global quotient orbifold. We prove that the Cheeger-Simons cohomology of the orbifold is isomorphic to its Beilinson-Deligne cohomology. Furthermore we construct a string…

In this paper we generalize Drinfeld's twisted quantum affine algebras to construct twisted quantum algebras for all simply-laced generalized Cartan matrices and present their vertex representation realizations.

We propose new tools based on basic lattice theory to calculate the integral cohomology of the quotient of a manifold by an automorphism group of prime order. As examples of applications, we provide the Beauville--Bogomolov forms of some…

We identify the 2-groupoid of deformations of a gerbe on a smooth manifold with the Deligne 2-groupoid of a corresponding twist of the DGLA of local Hochschild cochains on infinite jets of smooth functions.

We study the GKM theory for a equivariant stratified space having orbifold structures in tis successive quotients. Then, we introduce the notion of an \emph{almost simple polytope}, as well as a \emph{divisive toric variety} generalizing…

Given a hypersurface singularity (not necessarily isolated) with a finite abelian group action, we develop a method to define an explicit product structure on the twisted Koszul algebra (whose invariant subalgebra is the orbifold Koszul…

In this paper, we develop a method to compute the Morse homology of a manifold when descending manifolds and ascending manifolds intersect cleanly, but not necessarily transversely. While obstruction bundle gluing defined by Hutchings and…

Many bundle gerbes constructed in practice are either infinite-dimensional, or finite-dimensional but built using submersions that are far from being fibre bundles. Murray and Stevenson proved that gerbes on simply-connected manifolds,…

In this article, first we give two formulae for the delta invariant of a complex curve singularity that can be embedded as a ${\mathbb Q}$-Cartier divisor in a normal surface singularity with rational homology sphere link. Next, we consider…

We continue our study of the local Gromov-Witten invariants of curves in Calabi-Yau 3-folds. We define relative invariants for the local theory which give rise to a 1+1-dimensional TQFT taking values in the ring Q[[t]]. The associated…

A torus manifold is an even-dimensional manifold acted on by a half-dimensional torus with non-empty fixed point set and some additional orientation data. It may be considered as a far-reaching generalisation of toric manifolds from…

We construct a braided structure on the algebra of K\"ahler differential forms of a commutative algebra twisted by an endomorphism. This generalises the construction done in M. Karoubi, Quantum Methods in Algebraic Topology, see…

In topological quantum computation, quantum information is stored in states which are intrinsically protected from decoherence, and quantum gates are carried out by dragging particle-like excitations (quasiparticles) around one another in…

In a topological quantum computer, universal quantum computation is performed by dragging quasiparticle excitations of certain two dimensional systems around each other to form braids of their world lines in 2+1 dimensional space-time. In…
