Diagrammatic Morphisms and Applications

Diagrammatic Morphisms and Applications

The technique of diagrammatic morphisms is an important ingredient in comprehending and visualizing certain types of categories with structure. It was widely used in this capacity in many areas of algebra, low-dimensional topology and physics. It was also applied to problems in classical and quantum information processing and logic. This volume contains articles based on talks at the Special Session, ``Diagrammatic Morphisms in Algebra, Category Theory, and Topology'', at the AMS Sectional Meeting in San Francisco. The articles describe recent achievements in several aspects of diagrammatic morphisms and their applications. Some of them contain detailed expositions on various diagrammatic techniques. The introductory article by D. Yetter is a thorough account of the subject in a historical perspective.

Quantum Topology - Proceedings Of The Conference

This volume contains the conference on quantum topology, held at Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 24 - 28 March 1993.Quantum topology is a rapidly growing field of mathematics dealing with the recently discovered interactions between low-dimensional topology, the theory of quantum groups, category theory, C∗-algebra theory, gauge theory, conformal and topological field theory and statistical mechanics. The conference, attended by over 60 mathematicians and theoretical physicists from Canada, Denmark, England, France, Japan, Poland and the United States, was highlighted by lecture series given by Louis Kauffman, Univ. of Illinois at Chicago and Nicholai Reshetikhin, Univ. of Califonia, Berkeley.

Functorial Knot Theory

Almost since the advent of skein-theoretic invariants of knots and links (the Jones, HOMFLY, and Kauffman polynomials), the important role of categories of tangles in the connection between low-dimensional topology and quantum-group theory has been recognized. The rich categorical structures naturally arising from the considerations of cobordisms have suggested functorial views of topological field theory.This book begins with a detailed exposition of the key ideas in the discovery of monoidal categories of tangles as central objects of study in low-dimensional topology. The focus then turns to the deformation theory of monoidal categories and the related deformation theory of monoidal functors, which is a proper generalization of Gerstenhaber's deformation theory of associative algebras. These serve as the building blocks for a deformation theory of braided monoidal categories which gives rise to sequences of Vassiliev invariants of framed links, and clarify their interrelations.

Cyclic Cohomology at 40: Achievements and Future Prospects

This volume contains the proceedings of the virtual conference on Cyclic Cohomology at 40: Achievements and Future Prospects, held from September 27–October 1, 2021 and hosted by the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, Toronto, ON, Canada. Cyclic cohomology, since its discovery forty years ago in noncommutative differential geometry, has become a fundamental mathematical tool with applications in domains as diverse as analysis, algebraic K-theory, algebraic geometry, arithmetic geometry, solid state physics and quantum field theory. The reader will find survey articles providing a user-friendly introduction to applications of cyclic cohomology in such areas as higher ca...

Lorentz Group, Cpt And Neutrinos: Proceedings Of The International Workshop

The topics in this volume range from mathematical aspects of the theory of the Poincaré group, Clifford algebras and the CPT theorem, through new theoretical physical constructions and concepts (such as the physical significance of the 4-potential, the interplay between quantum mechanics and gravity, Majorana-like models, the photon as a composite particle, action-at-a-distance and superluminal phenomena), to experiments in neutrino physics. The book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers working in fundamental physics and phenomenology, and also to experimentalists.

Quantum Topology

This book constitutes a review volume on the relatively new subject of Quantum Topology. Quantum Topology has its inception in the 1984/1985 discoveries of new invariants of knots and links (Jones, Homfly and Kauffman polynomials). These invariants were rapidly connected with quantum groups and methods in statistical mechanics. This was followed by Edward Witten's introduction of methods of quantum field theory into the subject and the formulation by Witten and Michael Atiyah of the concept of topological quantum field theories. This book is a review volume of on-going research activity. The papers derive from talks given at the Special Session on Knot and Topological Quantum Field Theory of...

Wavelets, Frames and Operator Theory

In the past two decades, wavelets and frames have emerged as significant tools in mathematics and technology. They interact with harmonic analysis, operator theory, and a host of other applications. This book grew out of a special session on Wavelets, Frames and Operator Theory held at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Baltimore and a National Science Foundation-sponsored workshop held at the University of Maryland. Both events were associated with the NSF Focused Research Group. The volume includes both theoretical and applied papers highlighting the many facets of these interconnected topics. It is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in wavelets and their applications.
