Possibilistic collapse and extremality of simplicial distributions

Aziz Kharoof, Cihan Okay

Consistent families of locally defined probability distributions that do not admit a joint global distribution are known as contextual, with primary examples arising in quantum the…

Vertex structure of fiber products of probability polytopes

Aziz Kharoof, Cihan Okay

We develop tools for characterizing vertices of fiber products of polytopes and apply them to simplicial distribution polytopes, a class of probability polytopes arising in quantum…

The Bloch--Kato conjecture, decomposing fields, and generating cohomology in degree one

Sunil K. Chebolu, Ján Mináč, Cihan Okay +2

The famous Bloch--Kato conjecture implies that for a field containing a primitive th root of unity, the cohomology ring of the absolute Galois group of with $\math…

No quantum solutions to linear constraint systems from monomial measurement-based quantum computation in odd prime dimension

Markus Frembs, Cihan Okay, Ho Yiu Chung

We combine the study of resources in measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) with that of quantum solutions to linear constraint systems (LCS). Contextuality of the input stat…

Extremal simplicial distributions on cycle scenarios with arbitrary outcomes

Aziz Kharoof, Cihan Okay, Selman Ipek

Cycle scenarios are a significant class of contextuality scenarios, with the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) scenario being a notable example. While binary outcome measurements i…

Commutative classifying space for simplicial groups

Cihan Okay, Pál Zsámboki

In this paper, we introduce a simplicial analog of classifying spaces for commutativity which classify principal bundles with commutativity structure on their transition functions.…
