Full twists and stability of knots and quivers

Sachin Chauhan, Piotr Kucharski, Dmitry Noshchenko +3

We relate the stability of knot invariants under twisting a pair of strands to the stability of symmetric quivers under unlinking (or linking) operation. Starting from the HOMFLY-P…

Quivers and BPS states in 3d and 4d

Piotr Kucharski, Pietro Longhi, Dmitry Noshchenko +2

We propose a symmetrization relation between BPS quivers encoding 4d theories and symmetric quivers associated to 3d theories. We analyse in detail…

Knot-quiver correspondence: a brief review

Piotr Kucharski, Dmitry Noshchenko

This note is an overview of the knot-quiver correspondence, which relates symmetric quivers and their partition functions, a.k.a. motivic Donaldson-Thomas generating series, to qua…

What makes math problems hard for reinforcement learning: a case study

Ali Shehper, Anibal M. Medina-Mardones, Lucas Fagan +6

Using a long-standing conjecture from combinatorial group theory, we explore, from multiple perspectives, the challenges of finding rare instances carrying disproportionately high…

3d Modularity Revisited

Miranda C. N. Cheng, Ioana Coman, Piotr Kucharski +2

The three-manifold topological invariants capture the half-index of the three-dimensional theory with supersymmetry obtained by compactifying the M5 bran…

Categorification of quiver diagonalization and Koszul algebras

Vladimir Dotsenko, Evgeny Feigin, Piotr Kucharski +1

In earlier work of three of the authors of the present paper, a supercommutative quadratic algebra was associated to each symmetric quiver, and a new proof of positivity of motivic…

Unlinking symmetric quivers

Piotr Kucharski, Hélder Larraguível, Dmitry Noshchenko +1

We analyse the structure of equivalence classes of symmetric quivers whose generating series are equal. We consider such classes constructed using the basic operation of unlinking,…

Quiver diagonalization and open BPS states

Jakub Jankowski, Piotr Kucharski, Hélder Larraguível +2

We show that motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants of a~symmetric quiver , captured by the generating function , can be encoded in another quiver of (almost al…

Branches, quivers, and ideals for knot complements

Tobias Ekholm, Angus Gruen, Sergei Gukov +4

We generalize the invariant, i.e. for the complement of a knot in the 3-sphere, the knots-quivers correspondence, and -polynomials of knots, and find sev…

Knot homologies and generalized quiver partition functions

Tobias Ekholm, Piotr Kucharski, Pietro Longhi

We conjecture a relation between generalized quiver partition functions and generating functions for symmetrically colored HOMFLY-PT polynomials and corresponding HOMFLY-PT homolog…

Permutohedra for knots and quivers

Jakub Jankowski, Piotr Kucharski, Hélder Larraguível +2

The knots-quivers correspondence states that various characteristics of a knot are encoded in the corresponding quiver and the moduli space of its representations. However, this co…

Tobias Ekholm, Angus Gruen, Sergei Gukov +3

Reducing a 6d fivebrane theory on a 3-manifold gives a -series 3-manifold invariant . We analyse the large- behaviour of , where $M_…

Quivers for 3-manifolds: the correspondence, BPS states, and 3d =2 theories

Piotr Kucharski

We introduce and explore the relation between quivers and 3-manifolds with the topology of the knot complement. This idea can be viewed as an adaptation of the knots-quivers corres…

Multi-cover skeins, quivers, and 3d dualities

Tobias Ekholm, Piotr Kucharski, Pietro Longhi

The relation between open topological strings and representation theory of symmetric quivers is explored beyond the original setting of the knot-quiver correspondence. Multiple cov…

Physics and geometry of knots-quivers correspondence

Tobias Ekholm, Piotr Kucharski, Pietro Longhi

The recently conjectured knots-quivers correspondence relates gauge theoretic invariants of a knot in the 3-sphere to representation theory of a quiver associated to th…

Knots-quivers correspondence

Piotr Kucharski, Markus Reineke, Marko Stosic +1

We introduce and explore the relation between knot invariants and quiver representation theory, which follows from the identification of quiver quantum mechanics in D-brane systems…

BPS states, knots and quivers

Piotr Kucharski, Markus Reineke, Marko Stosic +1

We argue how to identify supersymmetric quiver quantum mechanics description of BPS states, which arise in string theory in brane systems representing knots. This leads to a surpri…

The (2,0) Superalgebra, Null M-branes and Hitchin's System

Piotr Kucharski, Neil Lambert, Miles Owen

We present an interacting system of equations with sixteen supersymmetries and an R-symmetry where the fields depend on two space and one null dimensions that i…

BPS counting for knots and combinatorics on words

Piotr Kucharski, Piotr Sułkowski

We discuss relations between quantum BPS invariants defined in terms of a product decomposition of certain series, and difference equations (quantum A-polynomials) that annihilate…
