Motivic measures and stable birational geometry
Michael Larsen, Valery A. Lunts
We study the motivic Grothendieck group of algebraic varieties from the point of view of stable birational geometry. In particular, we obtain a counter-example to a conjecture of M…

Topological Quantum Computation
Michael H. Freedman, Alexei Kitaev, Michael J. Larsen +1
The theory of quantum computation can be constructed from the abstract study of anyonic systems. In mathematical terms, these are unitary topological modular functors. They underli…
