In this work a field theoretical model is constructed to describe the statistical mechanics of an arbitrary number of topologically linked polymers in the context of the analytical approach of Edwards. As an application, the effects of the…
Reptation theory has been highly successful in explaining the unusual material properties of entangled polymer solutions. It reduces the complex many-body dynamics to a single-polymer description where each polymer is envisaged to be…
Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a novel statistical technique, particularly powerful for the analysis of large and high dimensional data sets. Much of TDA is based on the tool of persistent homology, represented visually via persistence…
Periodic networks serve as models for the structural organisation of biological and chemical crystalline systems. Single or multiple networks can have different configurations in space, where entanglement may arise due to the way the…
Structure in quantum entanglement entropy is often leveraged to focus on a small corner of the exponentially large Hilbert space and efficiently parameterize the problem of finding ground states. A typical example is the use of matrix…
Fractal structure of shortest paths depends strongly on interresidue interaction cutoff distance. The dimensionality of shortest paths is calculated as a function of interaction cutoff distance. Shortest paths are self similar with a…
We introduce a method for predicting RNA folding pathways, with an application to the most important RNA tetraloops. The method is based on the idea that ensembles of three-dimensional fragments extracted from high-resolution crystal…
The Persistent Homology Transform (PHT) summarizes a shape in $\mathbb{R}^m$ by collecting persistence diagrams obtained from linear height filtrations in all directions on $\mathbb{S}^{m-1}$. It enjoys strong theoretical guarantees,…
Understanding the biological function of knots in proteins and their folding process is an open and challenging question in biology. Recent studies classify the topology and geometry of knotted proteins by analysing the distribution of a…
The performance of known and new parametric estimators for Archimedean copulas is investigated, with special focus on large dimensions and numerical difficulties. In particular, method-of-moments-like estimators based on pairwise Kendall's…
In this work we derive certain topological theories of transverse vector fields whose amplitudes reproduce topological invariants involving the interactions among the trajectories of three and four random walks. This result is applied to…
Mapping the Internet generally consists in sampling the network from a limited set of sources by using "traceroute"-like probes. This methodology, akin to the merging of different spanning trees to a set of destinations, has been argued to…
Quantum field theories with an energy gap can be approximated at long-range by topological quantum field theories. The same should be true for suitable condensed matter systems. For those with short range entanglement (SRE) the effective…
The links of a physical network cannot cross, which often forces the network layout into non-optimal entangled states. Here we define a network fabric as a two-dimensional projection of a network and propose the average crossing number as a…
We study a single two-level atom interacting with a reservoir of modes defined by a reservoir structure function with a frequency gap. Using the pseudomodes technique, we derive the main features of a trapping state formed in the weak…
Transfer entropy (TE) captures the directed relationships between two variables. Partial transfer entropy (PTE) accounts for the presence of all confounding variables of a multivariate system and infers only about direct causality. However,…
The regular hyperbranched polymers (RHPs), also known as Vicsek fractals, are an important family of hyperbranched structures which have attracted a wide spread attention during the past several years. In this paper, we study the…
Large scale molecular dynamics simulations on graphic processing units (GPUs) are employed to study the scaling behavior of ring polymers with various topological constraints in melts. Typical sizes of rings containing $3_1$, $5_1$ knots…
Many native structures of proteins accomodate complex topological motifs such as knots, lassos, and other geometrical entanglements. How proteins can fold quickly even in the presence of such topological obstacles is a debated question in…
Soft elastic filaments that can be stretched, bent and twisted exhibit a range of topologically and geometrically complex morphologies that include plectonemes, solenoids, knot-like and braid-like structures. We combine numerical…
