Symmetry Protected Topological phases and Generalized Cohomology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We discuss the classification of SPT phases in condensed matter systems. We review Kitaev's argument that SPT phases are classified by a generalized cohomology theory, valued in the spectrum of gapped physical systems.

Evolution of orbital angular momentum in a soft quasi-periodic structure with topological defects. [PDF]

open access: yesOptics Express, 2018
A continuously deformative space possesses trivial or nontrivial topological characteristics depending on the associated homotopy groups associated with spaces describing the physical processes. Moreover, the interaction of spatial warping and structural

Generalized Cluster States Based on Finite Groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We define generalized cluster states based on finite group algebras in analogy to the generalization of the toric code to the Kitaev quantum double models. We do this by showing a general correspondence between systems with CSS structure and finite group

A topological extension of general relativity [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
A set of algebraic equations for the topological properties of space-time is derived, and used to extend general relativity into the Planck domain. A unique basis set of three-dimensional prime manifolds is constructed which consists of S3, S1 × S2, and ...

Contramodules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Contramodules are module-like algebraic structures endowed with infinite summation (or, occasionally, integration) operations satisfying natural axioms. Introduced originally by Eilenberg and Moore in 1965 in the case of coalgebras over commutative rings,

Fraisse Limits, Ramsey Theory, and Topological Dynamics of Automorphism Groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We study in this paper some connections between the Fraisse theory of amalgamation classes and ultrahomogeneous structures, Ramsey theory, and topological dynamics of automorphism groups of countable structures.Comment: 73 pages, LaTeX 2e, to appear in ...

The asymptotic shape theorem for generalized first passage percolation

open access: yes, 2010
We generalize the asymptotic shape theorem in first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ to cover the case of general semimetrics. We prove a structure theorem for equivariant semimetrics on topological groups and an extended version of the maximal ...

Holonomy and monodromy groupoids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We outline the construction of the holonomy groupoid of a locally Lie groupoid and the monodromy groupoid of a Lie groupoid. These specialise to the well known holonomy and monodromy groupoids of a foliation, when the groupoid is just an equivalence ...

Hierarchical structure and the prediction of missing links in networks [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2008
Networks have in recent years emerged as an invaluable tool for describing and quantifying complex systems in many branches of science. Recent studies suggest that networks often exhibit hierarchical organization, in which vertices divide into groups ...

Sp(3) structures on 14-dimensional manifolds

open access: yes, 2012
The present article investigates Sp(3) structures on 14-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, a continuation of the recent study of manifolds modeled on rank two symmetric spaces (here: SU(6)/Sp(3)). We derive topological criteria for the existence of such a
