Nijenhuis operator in contact homology and descendant recursion in symplectic field theory
In this paper we investigate the algebraic structure related to a new type of
correlator associated to the moduli spaces of -parametrized curves in
contact homology and rational symplectic field theory. Such correlators are the
natural generalization of the non-equivariant linearized contact homology
differential (after Bourgeois-Oancea) and give rise to an invariant Nijenhuis
(or hereditary) operator (\`a la Magri-Fuchssteiner) in contact homology which
recovers the descendant theory from the primaries. We also sketch how such
structure generalizes to the full SFT Poisson homology algebra to a (graded
symmetric) bivector. The descendant hamiltonians satisfy to recursion
relations, analogous to bihamiltonian recursion, with respect to the pair
formed by the natural Poisson structure in SFT and such bivector. In case the
target manifold is the product stable Hamiltonian structure , with
a symplectic manifold, the recursion coincides with genus topological
recursion relations in the Gromov-Witten theory of .Comment: 30 pages, 3 figure
W-types in setoids
W-types and their categorical analogue, initial algebras for polynomial
endofunctors, are an important tool in predicative systems to replace
transfinite recursion on well-orderings. Current arguments to obtain W-types in
quotient completions rely on assumptions, like Uniqueness of Identity Proofs,
or on constructions that involve recursion into a universe, that limit their
applicability to a specific setting. We present an argument, verified in Coq,
that instead uses dependent W-types in the underlying type theory to construct
W-types in the setoid model. The immediate advantage is to have a proof more
type-theoretic in flavour, which directly uses recursion on the underlying
W-type to prove initiality. Furthermore, taking place in intensional type
theory and not requiring any recursion into a universe, it may be generalised
to various categorical quotient completions, with the aim of finding a uniform
construction of extensional W-types.Comment: 17 pages, formalised in Coq; v2: added reference to formalisatio
Experimental evidence for the Volume Conjecture for the simplest hyperbolic non-2-bridge knot
Loosely speaking, the Volume Conjecture states that the limit of the n-th
colored Jones polynomial of a hyperbolic knot, evaluated at the primitive
complex n-th root of unity is a sequence of complex numbers that grows
exponentially. Moreover, the exponential growth rate is proportional to the
hyperbolic volume of the knot.
We provide an efficient formula for the colored Jones function of the
simplest hyperbolic non-2-bridge knot, and using this formula, we provide
numerical evidence for the Hyperbolic Volume Conjecture for the simplest
hyperbolic non-2-bridge knot.Comment: Published by Algebraic and Geometric Topology at

Non-homogenous disks in the chain of matrices
We investigate the generating functions of multi-colored discrete disks with
non-homogenous boundary conditions in the context of the Hermitian multi-matrix
model where the matrices are coupled in an open chain. We show that the study
of the spectral curve of the matrix model allows one to solve a set of loop
equations to get a recursive formula computing mixed trace correlation
functions to leading order in the large matrix limit.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figure
Hopf algebras in dynamical systems theory
The theory of exact and of approximate solutions for non-autonomous linear
differential equations forms a wide field with strong ties to physics and
applied problems. This paper is meant as a stepping stone for an exploration of
this long-established theme, through the tinted glasses of a (Hopf and
Rota-Baxter) algebraic point of view. By reviewing, reformulating and
strengthening known results, we give evidence for the claim that the use of
Hopf algebra allows for a refined analysis of differential equations. We
revisit the renowned Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff-Dynkin formula by the modern
approach involving Lie idempotents. Approximate solutions to differential
equations involve, on the one hand, series of iterated integrals solving the
corresponding integral equations; on the other hand, exponential solutions.
Equating those solutions yields identities among products of iterated Riemann
integrals. Now, the Riemann integral satisfies the integration-by-parts rule
with the Leibniz rule for derivations as its partner; and skewderivations
generalize derivations. Thus we seek an algebraic theory of integration, with
the Rota-Baxter relation replacing the classical rule. The methods to deal with
noncommutativity are especially highlighted. We find new identities, allowing
for an extensive embedding of Dyson-Chen series of time- or path-ordered
products (of generalized integration operators); of the corresponding Magnus
expansion; and of their relations, into the unified algebraic setting of
Rota-Baxter maps and their inverse skewderivations. This picture clarifies the
approximate solutions to generalized integral equations corresponding to
non-autonomous linear (skew)differential equations.Comment: International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics, in
