Finite type invariants for cyclic equivalence classes of nanophrases

Yuka Kotorii (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define finite type invariants for cyclic equivalence classes of nanophrases and construct universal invariants. Also, we identify the universal finite type invariant of degree 1 essentially with the linking matrix. It is known that extended Arnold basic invariants to signed words are finite type invariants of degree 2, by Fujiwara's work. We give another proof of this result and show that those invariants do not provide the universal one of degree 2.

Supersymmetry classes of tensors

M. Shahryari (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We introduce the notion of a supersymmetry class of tensors which is the ordinary symmetry class of tensors with a natural ℤ₂-gradation. We give the dimensions of even and odd parts of this gradation as well as their natural bases. Also we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the odd or even part of a supersymmetry class to be zero.

Link invariants from finite racks

Sam Nelson (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We define ambient isotopy invariants of oriented knots and links using the counting invariants of framed links defined by finite racks. These invariants reduce to the usual quandle counting invariant when the rack in question is a quandle. We are able to further enhance these counting invariants with 2-cocycles from the coloring rack's second rack cohomology satisfying a new degeneracy condition which reduces to the usual case for quandles.

On tensor functions whose gradients have some skew-symmetries

Adriano Montanaro (1991)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

Let V n be a real inner product space of any dimension; and let Q α 1 α v = Q α 1 α v X β 1 β τ be a C 2 -map relating any two tensor spaces on V n . We study the consequences imposed on the form of this function by the condition that its gradient should be skew-symmetric with respect to some pairs α μ , β η of indexes. Any such a condition is written as a system of linear partial differential equations, with constant coefficients, which is symmetric with respect to certain couples of independent variables. The solutions of these...
