We generalize the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant of topological insulators using noncommutative differential geometry in two different ways. First, we model Majorana zero modes by KQ-cycles in the framework of analytic K-homology, and we define…
We show that the two-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant for time-reversal invariant insulators can be formulated in terms of the boundary-condition dependence of the ground state wavefunction for both non-interacting and…
Gauge independence of dimension two condensate in Yang-Mills theory is demonstrated by using a noncommutative theory technique.
In this paper we suggest gauge invariant discretization of Poincare quantum gravity. We generalize Regge calculus to the case of Riemann-Cartan space. The basic element of the constructed discretization is piecewize linear Riemann-Cartan…
In the case of a gauge-invariant discrete model of Yang-Mills theory difference self-dual and anti-self-dual equations are constructed.
Using methods of differential geometry, a discrete analog of the Yang-Mills equations in Minkowski space is constructed. The gauge transformation law in a discrete formulation is given and gauge invariance of discrete Yang-Mills equations…
We use a "monodromy" argument to derive new expressions for the ${\bm Z}_2$ invariants of topological insulators with time-reversal symmetry in 2 and 3 dimensions. The derivations and the final expressions do not require any gauge choice…
We present important elements of a gauge and diffeomorphism invariant formulation of the moduli space approximation to soliton dynamics. We argue that explicit velocity-dependent modifications are determined entirely from gauge and…
We present a discrete model theory similar in structure to ordinary quantum mechanics, but based on a finite field instead of complex amplitudes. The interpretation of this theory involves only the "modal" concepts of possibility and…
We prove an easy but interesting result about the linear independence of multiple zeta values of different weights.
We provide an action for gauge theories discretized on simplicial meshes, inspired by finite element methods. The action is discretely gauge invariant and we give a proof of consistency. A discrete Noether's theorem that can be applied to…
Discretized nonabelian gauge theories living on finite group spaces G are defined by means of a geometric action \int Tr F \wedge *F. This technique is extended to obtain discrete versions of the Born-Infeld action. The discretizations are…
The quantized version of a discrete Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov system is solved by an extension of the generalized Bethe Ansatz. The solutions are constructed to be of highest weight which means they fully reflect the internal quantum group…
Gauge invariance in discrete dynamical systems and its connection with quantization are considered. For a complete description of gauge symmetries of a system we construct explicitly a class of groups unifying in a natural way the space and…
Gauge dependence of the dimension two condensate in Abelian and non-Abelian Yang-Mills theory is investigated.
We analyze the particle spectrum of a second-order (in derivatives) theory based on a rank-2 tensor field with both symmetric and antisymmetric components. By demanding the existence of a propagating massless spin-2 particle and invariance…
We formulate N=2 twisted super Yang-Mills theory with a gauged central charge by superconnection formalism in two dimensions. We obtain off-shell invariant supermultiplets and actions with and without constraints, which is in contrast with…
An intrinsically defined gauge-invariant discrete model of the Yang-Mills equations on a combinatorial analog of $\Bbb{R}^4$ is constructed. We develop several algebraic structures on the matrix-valued cochains (discrete forms) that are…
We describe a nonperturbative calculation of the spectrum of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory based on a Hamiltonian formulation. Our approach exploits gauge invariant variables similar to those used in nuclear physics to describe collective motion…
We establish a connection between two recently-proposed approaches to the understanding of the geometric origin of the Fu-Kane-Mele invariant $\mathrm{FKM} \in \mathbb{Z}_2$, arising in the context of 2-dimensional time-reversal symmetric…
