In this paper, we discuss a relation between Jones-Witten theory of knot invariants and topological open string theory on the basis of the volume conjecture. We find a similar Hamiltonian structure for both theories, and interpret the AJ…

\footnotesize B\"{o}r\"{o}czky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang recently conjectured a certain strengthening of the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for symmetric convex bodies, the so-called log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We establish this inequality…

We prove a conjecture about the concordance invariant $\vartheta$, defined in a recent paper by Lewark and Zibrowius. This result simplifies the relation between $\vartheta$ and Rasmussen's $s$-invariant. The proof relies on Bar-Natan's…

We give empirical evidence that the UV-divergences of a renormalizable field theory are knot invariants.

Wang and Zhao (Adv. Appl. Math. 173 (2026) 102994) generalized the classic Johnson-Newman theorem on simultaneous similarity of symmetric matrices from a single rank-one perturbation to multiple rank-one perturbations. However, their result…

The fundamental problem of knot theory is to know whether two knots are equivalent or not. As a tool to prove that two knots are different, mathematicians have developed various invariants. Knots invariants are just functions that can be…

The aim of Part II is to explore the technique of invariance of tautological equations in the realm of Gromov--Witten theory. The main result is a proof of Invariance Theorem (Invariance Conjecture~1 in [14]), via the techniques from…

We establish a Kauffman-Murasugi-Thistlethwaite-type theorem for alternating knots in a solid torus. Specifically, we show that any dotted-reduced alternating diagram of a knot in a handlebody realizes the minimal crossing number, and that…

For a ribbon knot, it is a folk conjecture that the rank of its knot Floer homology must be 1 modulo 8, and another folk conjecture says the same about reduced Khovanov homology. We give the first counter-examples to both of these folk…

Motivated by work of Kinoshita and Teraska, Lamm introduced the notion of a symmetric union, which can be constructed from a partial knot $J$ by introducing additional crossings to a diagram of $J \# -\!J$ along its axis of symmetry. If…

We generalize several comparison results between algebraic, semi-topological and topological K-theories to the equivariant case with respect to a finite group.

In a recent paper, the concept of synchronous quantum correlation matrices was introduced and these were shown to correspond to traces on certain C*-algebras. In particular, synchronous correlation matrices arose in their study of various…

We construct a relative version of the $A_{\rm inf}$-cohomology theory developed by Bhatt-Morrow-Scholze and relate it to the prismatic theory of Bhatt-Scholze. The construction relies on the fiber product of topoi. As an application we…

The concept of a knot mosaic was introduced by Lomonaco and Kauffman as a means to construct a quantum knot system. The mosaic number of a given knot $K$ is defined as the minimum integer $n$ that allows the representation of $K$ on an $n…

A conjecture, recently stated by Flach and Morin, relates the action of the monodromy on the Galois invariant part of the p-adic Beilinson-Hyodo-Kato cohomology of the generic fiber of a scheme defined over a DVR of mixed characteristic to…

We show that the problem of recognizing that a knot diagram represents a specific torus knot, or any torus knot at all, is in the complexity class ${\sf NP} \cap {\sf co\text{-}NP}$, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis. We also show…

Bonato and Tardif conjectured that the number of isomorphism classes of trees mutually embeddable with a given tree T is either 1 or infinite. We prove the analogue of their conjecture for rooted trees. We also discuss the original…

We prove that if two knots are concordant, their involutive knot Floer complexes satisfy a certain type of stable equivalence.

The number of Lame equations with finite (ordinary or projective) monodromy has been conjectured by S. R. Dahmen, and a few proofs have been proposed. It is known that Lame equations with unitary monodromy are corresponding to spherical…

We prove effective forms of the Sato-Tate conjecture for holomorphic cuspidal newforms which improve on the author's previous work (solo and joint with Lemke Oliver). We also prove an effective form of the joint Sato-Tate distribution for…
