Quantum Racah matrices up to level 3 and multicolored link invariants

open access: yes, 2018
This paper is a next step in the project of systematic description of colored knot and link invariants started in previous papers. In this paper, we managed to explicitly find the inclusive Racah matrices, i.e.

Topological and physical knot theory are distinct

open access: yes, 2012
Physical knots and links are one-dimensional submanifolds of R^3 with fixed length and thickness. We show that isotopy classes in this category can differ from those of classical knot and link theory.

Composite Representation Invariants and Unoriented Topological String Amplitudes

open access: yes, 2010
Sinha and Vafa \cite {sinha} had conjectured that the $SO$ Chern-Simons gauge theory on $S^3$ must be dual to the closed $A$-model topological string on the orientifold of a resolved conifold.

All the shapes of spaces: a census of small 3-manifolds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this work we present a complete (no misses, no duplicates) census for closed, connected, orientable and prime 3-manifolds induced by plane graphs with a bipartition of its edge set (blinks) up to $k=9$ edges.

Refined Chern-Simons theory and Hilbert schemes of points on the plane

open access: yes, 2013
Aganagic and Shakirov propose a refinement of the SU(N) Chern-Simons theory for links in three manifolds with S^1-symmetry, such as torus knots in S^3, based on deformation of the S and T matrices, originally found by Kirillov and Cherednik.

Quasi-Quantum Groups, Knots, Three-Manifolds, and Topological Field Theory

open access: yes, 1992
We show how to construct, starting from a quasi-Hopf algebra, or quasi-quantum group, invariants of knots and links. In some cases, these invariants give rise to invariants of the three-manifolds obtained by surgery along these links.

Topological carbon allotropes: paradigm shift for materials innovation

open access: yes, 2019
Topology is a central concept of mathematics, which allows us to distinguish two isolated rings with linked ones. In material science, researchers discovered topologically different carbon allotropes in a form of a cage, a tube, and a sheet, which have ...

Decay of helical and non-helical magnetic knots

open access: yes, 2011
We present calculations of the relaxation of magnetic field structures that have the shape of particular knots and links. A set of helical magnetic flux configurations is considered, which we call $n$-foil knots of which the trefoil knot is the most ...

Characterization of Knots and Links Arising From Site-specific Recombination on Twist Knots

open access: yes, 2011
We develop a model characterizing all possible knots and links arising from recombination starting with a twist knot substrate, extending previous work of Buck and Flapan. We show that all knot or link products fall into three well-understood families of

Determinations of rational Dedekind-zeta invariants of hyperbolic manifolds and Feynman knots and links [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We identify 998 closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds whose volumes are rationally related to Dedekind zeta values, with coprime integers $a$ and $b$ giving $a/b vol(M)=(-D)^{3/2}/(2\pi)^{2n-4} (\zeta_K(2))/(2\zeta(2))$ for a manifold M whose invariant trace ...
