Odd Vassiliev invariants vanish at four loops
Greg Kuperberg
The odd Vassiliev conjecture asserts that all Jacobi diagrams with an odd number of legs vanish modulo the AS and IHX relations. Equivalently, the conjecture asserts that Vassiliev…

Breaking the cubic barrier in the Solovay-Kitaev algorithm
Greg Kuperberg
We improve the Solovay--Kitaev theorem and algorithm for a general finite, inverse-closed generating set acting on a qudit. Prior versions of the algorithm efficiently find a word…
