Nilpotent representations over equioriented cyclic quivers

Cornell Holmes, Mee Seong Im

We give a geometric description of nilpotent representations of equioriented cyclic quivers over a field via an explicit bijection. Over a finite field, this yields formulas for th…

Multisymmetric polynomials on set-theoretic quiver representations

Radford Green, Cornell Holmes, Mee Seong Im

Eventually constant set-valued representations of a quiver are set-theoretic analogues of nilpotent representations. In recent work by Green-Holmes-Im, the authors enumerated event…

Multisymmetric functions on eventually constant cyclic graphs

Radford Green, Cornell Holmes, Mee Seong Im

The study of spanning trees and related structures is central in graph theory, closely connected to understanding functions between finite sets. This paper generalizes the establis…

Eventually constant maps for two sets and nilpotent pairs

Weixi Chen, Mee Seong Im, Catherine Lillja +1

We give a bijective correspondence between the number of nilpotent matrices over a Boolean semiring and the number of directed acyclic graphs on ordered vertices. We then enumerate…

Pairs of eventually constant maps and nilpotent pairs

Weixi Chen, Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov +2

Tom Leinster gave a bijective correspondence between the set of operators on a finite-dimensional vector space and the set of pairs consisting of a nilpotent operator and a vec…

Two-dimensional topological quantum field theories of rank two over Dedekind domains

Fabian Espinoza, Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov

We give examples of Frobenius algebras of rank two over ground Dedekind rings which are projective but not free and discuss possible applications of these algebras to link homology…

Diagrammatics of information

Mee Seong Im, Clement Kam, Caden Pici

We introduce a diagrammatic perspective for Shannon entropy created by the first author and Mikhail Khovanov and connect it to information theory and mutual information. We also gi…

Entropy, cocycles, and their diagrammatics

Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov

The first part of the paper explains how to encode a one-cocycle and a two-cocycle on a group with values in its representation by networks of planar trivalent graphs with edge…

Foams with flat connections and algebraic K-theory

David Gepner, Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov +1

This paper proposes a connection between algebraic K-theory and foam cobordisms, where foams are stratified manifolds with singularities of a prescribed form. We consider -dimen…

Foam cobordism and the Sah-Arnoux-Fathi invariant

Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov

This is the first in a series of papers where scissor congruence and K-theoretical invariants are related to cobordism groups of foams in various dimensions. A model example is pro…

Boolean TQFTs with accumulating defects, sofic systems, and automata for infinite words

Paul Gustafson, Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov

Any finite state automaton gives rise to a Boolean one-dimensional TQFT with defects and inner endpoints of cobordisms. This paper extends the correspondence to Boolean TQFTs where…

From finite state automata to tangle cobordisms: a TQFT journey from one to four dimensions

Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov

This is a brief introduction to link homology theories that categorify Reshetikhin--Turaev -quantum link invariants. A recently discovered surprising connection bet…

Universal construction in monoidal and non-monoidal settings, the Brauer envelope, and pseudocharacters

Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov, Victor Ostrik

This paper clarifies basic definitions in the universal construction of topological theories and monoidal categories. The definition of the universal construction is given for vari…

Automata and one-dimensional TQFTs with defects

Paul Gustafson, Mee Seong Im, Remy Kaldawy +2

This paper explains how any nondeterministic automaton for a regular language gives rise to a one-dimensional oriented Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) with inner endpoi…

One-dimensional topological theories with defects: the linear case

Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov

The paper studies the Karoubi envelope of a one-dimensional topological theory with defects and inner endpoints, defined over a field. It turns out that the Karoubi envelope is det…

Computational complexity reduction of deep neural networks

Mee Seong Im, Venkat R. Dasari

Deep neural networks (DNN) have been widely used and play a major role in the field of computer vision and autonomous navigation. However, these DNNs are computationally complex an…

Topological theories and automata

Mee Seong Im, Mikhail Khovanov

The paper explains the connection between topological theories for one-manifolds with defects and values in the Boolean semiring and automata and their generalizations. Finite stat…
