A Sonification of the zCOSMOS Galaxy Dataset

S. Bardelli, Claudia Ferretti, Luca Andrea Ludovico +2

Sonification is the transformation of data into acoustic signals, achievable through different techniques. Sonification can be defined as a way to represent data values and relatio…

A Topological Framework for the Computation of the HOMFLY Polynomial and Its Application to Proteins

Federico Comoglio, Maurizio Rinaldi

Polymers can be modeled as open polygonal paths and their closure generates knots. Knotted proteins detection is currently achieved via high-throughput methods based on a common fr…

Loop and Path Spaces and Four-Dimensional BF Theories: Connections, Holonomies and Observables

A. S. Cattaneo, P. Cotta-Ramusino, M. Rinaldi

We study the differential geometry of principal G-bundles whose base space is the space of free paths (loops) on a manifold M. In particular we consider connections defined in term…

Perturbative Anomalies of the M-5-brane

L. Bonora, C. S. Chu, M. Rinaldi

We discuss several mechanisms to cancel the anomalies of a 5-brane embedded in M-theory. Two of them work, provided we impose suitable conditions either on the 11-dimensional manif…

BRST Symmetries for the Tangent Gauge Group

A. S. Cattaneo, P. Cotta-Ramusino, M. Rinaldi

For any principal bundle , one can consider the subspace of the space of connections on its tangent bundle given by the tangent bundle of the space of connectio…

Four-Dimensional Yang-Mills Theory as a Deformation of Topological BF Theory

A. S. Cattaneo, P. Cotta-Ramusino, F. Fucito +4

The classical action for pure Yang--Mills gauge theory can be formulated as a deformation of the topological theory where, beside the two-form field , one has to add one ex…
