Pulling back the weight systems associated with the exceptional Lie algebras and their standard representations by a modification of the universal Vassiliev-Kontsevich invariant yields link invariants; extending them to coloured 3-nets, we…

We define a nontrivial mod 2 valued additive concordance invariant defined on the torsion subgroup of the knot concordance group using involutive knot Floer package. For knots not contained in its kernel, we prove that their iterated…

We use an explicit isomorphism from the representation ring of the quantum group U_q(sl(N)) to the Homfly skein of the annulus, to determine an element of the skein which is the image of the mth Adams operator, \psi_m, on the fundamental…

We produce infinite families of knots $\{K^i\}_{i\geq 1}$ for which the set of cables $\{K^i_{p,1}\}_{i,p\geq 1}$ is linearly independent in the knot concordance group. We arrange that these examples lie arbitrarily deep in the solvable and…

Quantum wires occupy a unique status among the semiconducting nanostructures with reduced dimensionality -- no other system seems to have engaged researchers with as many appealing features to pursue. This paper aims at a core issue related…

We consider a special class of Kauffman's graph invariants of rigid vertex isotopy (graph invariants of Vassiliev type). They are given by a functor from a category of colored and oriented graphs embedded into a 3-space to a category of…

To describe the flow of a miscible quantity on a network, we introduce the graph wave equation where the standard continuous Laplacian is replaced by the graph Laplacian. This is a natural description of an array of inductances and…

Each knot invariant can be extended to singular knots according to the skein rule. A Vassiliev invariant of order at most $n$ is defined as a knot invariant that vanishes identically on knots with more than $n$ double points. A chord…

For a field $k$, the ring of invariants of an action of the unipotent $k$-group $G_a$ on an affine $k$-variety is quasi-affine, but not generally affine. Cable algebras are introduced as a framework for studying these invariant rings. It is…

We define a concordance invariant, epsilon(K), associated to the knot Floer complex of K, and give a formula for the Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o concordance invariant tau of K_{p,q}, the (p,q)-cable of a knot K, in terms of p, q, tau(K), and…

We analyse volume-preserving actions of product groups on Riemannian manifolds. To this end, we establish a new superrigidity theorem for ergodic cocycles of product groups ranging in linear groups. There are no a priori assumptions on the…

Given any unoriented link diagram, a group of new knot invariants are constructed. Each of them satisfies a generalized 4 term skein relation. The coefficients of each invariant is from a commutative ring. Homomorphisms and representations…

We compute the vacuum expectation values of torus knot operators in Chern-Simons theory, and we obtain explicit formulae for all classical gauge groups and for arbitrary representations. We reproduce a known formula for the HOMFLY…

We prove that the partial-dual genus polynomial considered as a function on chord diagrams satisfies the four-term relation. Thus it is a weight system from the theory of Vassiliev knot invariants.

For a finite group $G$, $G$-transfer systems are combinatorial objects which encode the homotopy category of $G$-$N_\infty$ operads, whose algebras in $G$-spectra are $E_\infty$ $G$-spectra with a specified collection of multiplicative…

We introduce the notion of weighted singular vectors and weighted uniform exponent with respect to a set of weights. We prove invariance of these exponents for affine subspaces and submanifolds inside those affine subspaces. For certain…

Pulling back the weight system associated with the exceptional Lie algebra G_2 by a modification of the universal Vassiliev-Kontsevich invariant yields a link invariant; extending it to 3-nets, we derive a recursive algorithm for its…

In this paper we construct conformally invariant systems of first order and second order differential operators associated to a homogeneous line bundle $\Cal{L}_{s} \to G_0/Q_0$ with $Q_0$ a maximal parabolic subgroup of quasi-Heisenberg…

Based on empirical evidence, quantum systems appear to be strictly linear and gauge invariant. This work uses concise mathematics to show that quantum eigenvalue equations on a one dimensional ring can either be gauge invariant or have a…

We investigate Feynman diagrams which are calculable in terms of generalized one-loop functions, and explore how the presence or absence of transcendentals in their counterterms reflects the entanglement of link diagram constructed from…
