We define two dual tensor network representations of the (3+1)d toric code ground state subspace. These two representations, which are obtained by initially imposing either family of stabilizer constraints, are characterized by different…

We introduce the concept of `claspers,' which are surfaces in 3-manifolds with some additional structure on which surgery operations can be performed. Using claspers we define for each positive integer k an equivalence relation on links…

We obtain new invariants of topological link concordance and homology cobordism of 3-manifolds from Hirzebruch-type intersection form defects of towers of iterated p-covers. Our invariants can extract geometric information from an arbitrary…

Nonequilibrium condensates of bosons subject to energy pump and dissipation are investigated, manifesting the Fr\"ohlich coherence proposed in 1968. A quantum theory is developed to capture such a nonequilibrium nature, yielding a certain…

For a four-dimensional (nonisoclinicly geodesic) three-web W (3, 2, 2), a transversal distribution $\Delta$ is defined by the torsion tensor of the web. In general, this distribution is not integrable. The authors find necessary and…

We show that types of bracket-generating distributions lead to new classes of Lie systems with compatible geometric structures. Specifically, the $n$-trailer system is analysed, showing that its associated distribution is related to a Lie…

In this course, we will discuss dualities in 2+1 dimensions. We begin by briefly reviewing the physics of 1+1d T-duality and bosonization, and discuss flux attachment and the dual photon in 2+1d. Then, we introduce 2+1d particle-vortex…

Towards the investigation of the full dynamics in higher-dimensional and/or stringy gravitational model, we present the basic equations of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity theory. We show $(N+1)$-dimensional version of the ADM…

Given a normal surface singularity (X,0), its link, M is a closed differentiable three dimensional manifold which carries much analytic information. It is an interesting question to ask whether, under suitable analytic and topological…

This is the first article of a series of two where we study the problem of bounded deviations for homeomorphisms of closed surfaces of genus $\ge 2$. This first part studies bounded deviations with respect to closed geodesics. As a…

We extend the entanglement bootstrap approach to (3+1)-dimensions. We study knotted excitations of (3+1)-dimensional liquid topological orders and exotic fusion processes of loops. As in previous work in (2+1)-dimensions, we define a…

In this paper we study G-surfaces, a rather unknown surface class originally defined by Calapso, and show that the coordinate surfaces of a Guichard net are G-surfaces. Based on this observation, we present distinguished Combescure…

A formalism previously introduced by the author using tesselated Cauchy surfaces is applied to define a quantized version of gravitating point particles in 2+1 dimensions. We observe that this is the first model whose quantum version…

We study various dualities in condensed matter systems. The dualities in three dimensions could be derived from a conjecture of a duality between a Dirac fermion theory and an interacting scalar field theory at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point…

Following Goussarov's paper `Interdependent Modifications of Links and Invariants of Finite Degree' [Topology 37 (1998) 595--602] we describe an alternative finite type theory of knots. While (as shown by Goussarov) the alternative theory…

In recent years, a close connection between supergravity, string effective actions and generalized geometry has been discovered that typically involves a doubling of geometric structures. We investigate this relation from the point of view…

The rotation of multi-dimensional arrays, or tensors, is a fundamental operation in computer science with applications ranging from data processing to scientific computing. While various methods exist, achieving this rotation in-place…

We study $D$-dimensional $p$-brane Galilean geometries via the intrinsic torsion of their adapted connections. These non-Lorentzian geometries are examples of $G$-structures whose characteristic tensors consist of two degenerate ``metrics''…

The Gross-Pitaevskii equation and its generalisations to dissipative and dipolar gases have been very useful in describing dynamics of cold atomic gases, as well as polaritons and other nonlinear systems. For some of these applications the…

Following Thurston's geometrisation picture in dimension three, we study geometric manifolds in a more general setting in arbitrary dimensions, with respect to the following problems: (i) The existence of maps of non-zero degree (domination…
