Title: Topological Strings on Non-commutative Resolutions
Abstract In this paper we propose a definition of torsion refined Gopakumar–Vafa (GV) invariants for Calabi–Yau threefolds with terminal nodal singularities that do not admit Kähler crepant resolutions. Physically, the refinement takes into account the charge of five-dimensional BPS states under a discrete gauge symmetry in M-theory. We propose a mathematical definition of the invariants in terms of the geometry of all non-Kähler crepant resolutions taken together. The invariants are encoded in the A-model topological string partition functions associated to non-commutative (nc) resolutions of the Calabi–Yau. Our main example will be a singular degeneration of the generic Calabi–Yau double cover of$${\mathbb {P}}^3$$ P 3 and leads to an enumerative interpretation of the topological string partition function of a hybrid Landau–Ginzburg model. Our results generalize a recent physical proposal made in the context of torus fibered Calabi–Yau manifolds by one of the authors and clarify the associated enumerative geometry.  more » « less

  1. Abstract We prove that the Hilbert scheme ofkpoints on$${\mathbb {C}}^2$$ C 2 ($$\hbox {Hilb}^k[{\mathbb {C}}^2]$$ Hilb k [ C 2 ] ) is self-dual under three-dimensional mirror symmetry using methods of geometry and integrability. Namely, we demonstrate that the corresponding quantum equivariant K-theory is invariant upon interchanging its Kähler and equivariant parameters as well as inverting the weight of the$${\mathbb {C}}^\times _\hbar $$ C ħ × -action. First, we find a two-parameter family$$X_{k,l}$$ X k , l of self-mirror quiver varieties of type A and study their quantum K-theory algebras. The desired quantum K-theory of$$\hbox {Hilb}^k[{\mathbb {C}}^2]$$ Hilb k [ C 2 ] is obtained via direct limit$$l\longrightarrow \infty $$ l and by imposing certain periodic boundary conditions on the quiver data. Throughout the proof, we employ the quantum/classical (q-Langlands) correspondence between XXZ Bethe Ansatz equations and spaces of twisted$$\hbar $$ ħ -opers. In the end, we propose the 3d mirror dual for the moduli spaces of torsion-free rank-Nsheaves on$${\mathbb {P}}^2$$ P 2 with the help of a different (three-parametric) family of type A quiver varieties with known mirror dual.

  2. Abstract We continue earlier efforts in computing the dimensions of tangent space cohomologies of Calabi–Yau manifolds using deep learning. In this paper, we consider the dataset of all Calabi–Yau four-folds constructed as complete intersections in products of projective spaces. Employing neural networks inspired by state-of-the-art computer vision architectures, we improve earlier benchmarks and demonstrate that all four non-trivial Hodge numbers can be learned at the same time using a multi-task architecture. With 30% (80%) training ratio, we reach an accuracy of 100% for h ( 1 , 1 ) and 97% for h ( 2 , 1 ) (100% for both), 81% (96%) for h ( 3 , 1 ) , and 49% (83%) for h ( 2 , 2 ) . Assuming that the Euler number is known, as it is easy to compute, and taking into account the linear constraint arising from index computations, we get 100% total accuracy.

  3. It has recently been understood that the complete global symmetry of finite group topological gauge theories contains the structure of a higher-group. Here we study the higher-group structure in (3+1)D\mathbb{Z}_2 2 gauge theory with an emergent fermion, and point out that pumping chiralp+ip p + i p topological states gives rise to a\mathbb{Z}_{8} 8 0-form symmetry with mixed gravitational anomaly. This ordinary symmetry mixes with the other higher symmetries to form a 3-group structure, which we examine in detail. We then show that in the context of stabilizer quantum codes, one can obtain logical CCZ and CS gates by placing the code on a discretization ofT^3 T 3 (3-torus) andT^2 \rtimes_{C_2} S^1 T 2 C 2 S 1 (2-torus bundle over the circle) respectively, and pumpingp+ip p + i p states. Our considerations also imply the possibility of a logicalT T gate by placing the code on\mathbb{RP}^3 3 and pumping ap+ip p + i p topological state.

  4. Abstract We propose a generic compiler that can convert any zero-knowledge (ZK) proof for SIMD circuits to general circuits efficiently, and an extension that can preserve the space complexity of the proof systems. Our compiler can immediately produce new results improving upon state of the art.By plugging in our compiler to Antman, an interactive sublinear-communication protocol, we improve the overall communication complexity for general circuits from$$\mathcal {O}(C^{3/4})$$ O ( C 3 / 4 ) to$$\mathcal {O}(C^{1/2})$$ O ( C 1 / 2 ) . Our implementation shows that for a circuit of size$$2^{27}$$ 2 27 , it achieves up to$$83.6\times $$ 83.6 × improvement on communication compared to the state-of-the-art implementation. Its end-to-end running time is at least$$70\%$$ 70 % faster in a 10Mbps network.Using the recent results on compressed$$\varSigma $$ Σ -protocol theory, we obtain a discrete-log-based constant-round zero-knowledge argument with$$\mathcal {O}(C^{1/2})$$ O ( C 1 / 2 ) communication and common random string length, improving over the state of the art that has linear-size common random string and requires heavier computation.We improve the communication of a designatedn-verifier zero-knowledge proof from$$\mathcal {O}(nC/B+n^2B^2)$$ O ( n C / B + n 2 B 2 ) to$$\mathcal {O}(nC/B+n^2)$$ O ( n C / B + n 2 ) .To demonstrate the scalability of our compilers, we were able to extract a commit-and-prove SIMD ZK from Ligero and cast it in our framework. We also give one instantiation derived from LegoSNARK, demonstrating that the idea of CP-SNARK also fits in our methodology.

  5. Abstract MF-LOGP, a new method for determining a single component octanol–water partition coefficients ($$LogP$$ LogP ) is presented which uses molecular formula as the only input. Octanol–water partition coefficients are useful in many applications, ranging from environmental fate and drug delivery. Currently, partition coefficients are either experimentally measured or predicted as a function of structural fragments, topological descriptors, or thermodynamic properties known or calculated from precise molecular structures. The MF-LOGP method presented here differs from classical methods as it does not require any structural information and uses molecular formula as the sole model input. MF-LOGP is therefore useful for situations in which the structure is unknown or where the use of a low dimensional, easily automatable, and computationally inexpensive calculations is required. MF-LOGP is a random forest algorithm that is trained and tested on 15,377 data points, using 10 features derived from the molecular formula to make$$LogP$$ LogP predictions. Using an independent validation set of 2713 data points, MF-LOGP was found to have an average$$RMSE$$ RMSE = 0.77 ± 0.007,$$MAE$$ MAE = 0.52 ± 0.003, and$${R}^{2}$$ R 2 = 0.83 ± 0.003. This performance fell within the spectrum of performances reported in the published literature for conventional higher dimensional models ($$RMSE$$ RMSE = 0.42–1.54,$$MAE$$ MAE = 0.09–1.07, and$${R}^{2}$$ R 2 = 0.32–0.95). Compared with existing models, MF-LOGP requires a maximum of ten features and no structural information, thereby providing a practical and yet predictive tool. The development of MF-LOGP provides the groundwork for development of more physical prediction models leveraging big data analytical methods or complex multicomponent mixtures. Graphical Abstract
