A Topological Field Theory for the triple Milnor linking coefficient
Franco Ferrari, Marcin R. Piatek, Yani Zhao
The subject of this work is a three-dimensional topological field theory with a non-semisimple group of gauge symmetry with observables consisting in the holonomies of connections…
On a field theoretical model of polymeric plats and some of its consequences
Franco Ferrari, Jarosław Paturej, Marcin Piątek +1
The field theory approach to the statistical mechanics of a system of N polymer rings linked together is generalized to the case of links that have a fixed number of maxima an…
Ring polymers with topological constraints
Yani Zhao, Franco Ferrari
In the first part of this work a summary is provided of some recent experiments and theoretical results which are relevant in the research of systems of polymer rings in nontrivial…
Monte Carlo Computation of the Vassiliev knot invariant of degree 2 in the integral representation
Franco Ferrari, Yani Zhao
In mathematics there is a wide class of knot invariants that may be expressed in the form of multiple line integrals computed along the trajectory C describing the spatial conforma…
