We give formulas for the N-colored Jones polynomials of doubles of knots by using skein theory. As a corollary, we show that if the volume conjecture for untwisted positive (or negative) doubles of knots is true, then the colored Jones polynomial detects the unknot.

Consider the congruence class Rm(a) = {a + im : i ∈ Z} and the infinite arithmetic progression Pm(a) = {a + im : i ∈ N0}. For positive integers a,b,c,d,m the sum of products set Rm(a)Rm(b) + Rm(c)Rm(d) consists of all integers of the form (a+im) · (b+jm)+(c+km)(d+ℓm) for some i,j,k,ℓ ∈ Z. It is proved that if gcd (a,b,c,d,m) = 1, then Rm(a)Rm(b) + Rm(c)Rm(d) is equal to the congruence class Rm(ab+cd), and that the sum of products set Pm(a)Pm(b)+Pm(c)Pm eventually coincides with the infinite arithmetic progression Pm(ab+cd).

AbstractLet V be an absolutely irreducible affine variety over $\mathbb{F}_p$. A Lehmer point on V is a point whose coordinates satisfy some prescribed congruence conditions, and a visible point is one whose coordinates are relatively prime. Asymptotic results for the number of Lehmer points and visible points on V are obtained, and the distribution of visible points into different congruence classes is investigated.

Abstract We propose that finite cutoff regions of holographic spacetimes represent quantum circuits that map between boundary states at different times and Wilsonian cutoffs, and that the complexity of those quantum circuits is given by the gravitational action. The optimal circuit minimizes the gravitational action. This is a generalization of both the “complexity equals volume” conjecture to unoptimized circuits, and path integral optimization to finite cutoffs. Using tools from holographic $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ , we find that surfaces of constant scalar curvature play a special role in optimizing quantum circuits. We also find an interesting connection of our proposal to kinematic space, and discuss possible circuit representations and gate counting interpretations of the gravitational action.

AbstractThe congruences of a finite sectionally complemented lattice L are not necessarily uniform (any two congruence classes of a congruence are of the same size). To measure how far a congruence Θ of L is from being uniform, we introduce Spec Θ, the spectrum of Θ, the family of cardinalities of the congruence classes of Θ. A typical result of this paper characterizes the spectrum S = (mj | j < n) of a nontrivial congruence Θ with the following two properties:

We prove the strong Suslin reciprocity law conjectured by A. Goncharov. The Suslin reciprocity law is a generalization of the Weil reciprocity law to higher Milnor $K$ -theory. The Milnor $K$ -groups can be identified with the top cohomology groups of the polylogarithmic motivic complexes; Goncharov's conjecture predicts the existence of a contracting homotopy underlying Suslin reciprocity. The main ingredient of the proof is a homotopy invariance theorem for the cohomology of the polylogarithmic motivic complexes in the ‘next to Milnor’ degree. We apply these results to the theory of scissors congruences of hyperbolic polytopes. For every triple of rational functions on a compact projective curve over $\mathbb {C}$ we construct a hyperbolic polytope (defined up to scissors congruence). The hyperbolic volume and the Dehn invariant of this polytope can be computed directly from the triple of rational functions on the curve.

Diversification rates inferred from phylogenies are not identifiable. There are infinitely many combinations of speciation and extinction rate functions that have the exact same likelihood score for a given phylogeny, building a congruence class. The specific shape and characteristics of such congruence classes have not yet been studied. Whether speciation and extinction rate functions within a congruence class share common features is also not known. Instead of striving to make the diversification rates identifiable, we can embrace their inherent non-identifiable nature. We use two different approaches to explore a congruence class: (i) testing of specific alternative hypotheses, and (ii) randomly sampling alternative rate function within the congruence class. Our methods are implemented in the open-source R package ACDC (https://github.com/afmagee/ACDC). ACDC provides a flexible approach to explore the congruence class and provides summaries of rate functions within a congruence class. The summaries can highlight common trends, i.e. increasing, flat or decreasing rates. Although there are infinitely many equally likely diversification rate functions, these can share common features. ACDC can be used to assess if diversification rate patterns are robust despite non-identifiability. In our example, we clearly identify three phases of diversification rate changes that are common among all models in the congruence class. Thus, congruence classes are not necessarily a problem for studying historical patterns of biodiversity from phylogenies.

We prove an upper bound for the evaluation of all classical SU2 spin networks conjectured by Garoufalidis and van der Veen. This implies one half of the analogue of the volume conjecture which they proposed for classical spin networks. We are also able to obtain the other half, namely, an exact determination of the spectral radius, for the special class of generalized drum graphs. Our proof uses a version of Feynman diagram calculus which we developed as a tool for the interpretation of the symbolic method of classical invariant theory, in a manner which is rigorous yet true to the spirit of the classical literature.
