A BRAIDED SIMPLICIAL GROUP [PDF]
By studying the braid group action on Milnor's construction of the 1-sphere, we show that the general higher homotopy group of the 3-sphere is the fixed set of the pure braid group action on certain combinatorially described groups. This establishes a relation between the braid groups and the homotopy groups of the sphere.2000Mathematical Subject ...

Magnetic Textiles: A Review of Materials, Fabrication, Properties, and Applications
Magnetic textiles (M‐textiles) are emerging as a programmable materials platform that merges magnetic matter with hierarchical textile structures. This article consolidates magnetic material classes, textile architectures, and fabrication and magnetization strategies, revealing structure–property–function relationships that govern magneto‐mechanical ...

Z2 Topological Order and Topological Protection of Majorana Fermion Qubits
The Kitaev chain model exhibits topological order that manifests as topological degeneracy, Majorana edge modes and Z2 topological invariant of the bulk spectrum.

Concordance group and stable commutator length in braid groups
We define a quasihomomorphism from braid groups to the concordance group of knots and examine its properties and consequences of its existence. In particular, we provide a relation between the stable four ball genus in the concordance group and the ...

A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Mean-set attack: cryptanalysis of Sibert et al. authentication protocol
We analyze the Sibert et al. group-based (Feige–Fiat–Shamir type) authentication protocol and show that the protocol is not computationally zero-knowledge.

A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Double Affine Hecke Algebras of Rank 1 and the Z_3-Symmetric Askey-Wilson Relations
We consider the double affine Hecke algebra H=H(k_0,k_1,k_0^v,k_1^v;q) associated with the root system (C_1^v,C_1). We display three elements x, y, z in H that satisfy essentially the Z_3-symmetric Askey-Wilson relations.

Ising-like and Fibonacci anyons from KZ-equations
In this work we present solutions to Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations corresponding to conformal block wavefunctions of non-Abelian Ising-like and Fibonacci Anyons.
