Abstract

Based on large N Chern-Simons/topological string duality, in a series of papers, J.M.F. Labastida, M. Marino, H. Ooguri and C. Vafa conjectured certain remarkable new algebraic structure of link invariants and the existence of infinite series of new integer invariants. In this paper, we provide a proof of this conjecture. Moreover, we also show these new integer invariants vanish at large genera.

Integral forms for Yangians of classical type

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a simple Lie algebra of classical type. We construct a $\mathbb Z[1/2]$-integral form of the Yangian $Y(\mathfrak g)$ generated by divided powers of the positive and negative Drinfeld generators, and establish its triangular decomposition and PBW basis. Under the loop filtration, its associated graded algebra is the current algebra part of Garland's integral form. As applications, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$, we identify the small Yangian with the restricted Yangian and classify their finite dimensional simple modules in terms of restricted Drinfeld polynomials.

Quantum Color Newton Rings

We study integral Newton rings attached to symmetric quantum colors. We show that their boundary values at a deleted node are exactly the elements of Habiro's cyclotomic completion, and we describe their quantum neighborhoods at $q=1$ uniformly in the rank. The symmetric-color $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ invariants of a knot are the values of an element of such a ring. In its expansion at $q=1$, the coefficient of $(q-1)^m$ has denominator dividing the $(n-1+2m)$th power of the Alexander polynomial, with integral numerator, and this exponent is sharp. For $5_2$ and $6_1$ at $q=i$, the period matrices of the rank-two coefficient recurrences have spectral modules of exact order three in the Picard group of an affine elliptic curve.

Non-Equivalence of Smooth and Nodal Conformal Block Functors in Logarithmic CFT

Let $\mathbb V$ be an $\mathbb N$-graded, $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra (VOA) admitting a non-lowest generated module in $\mathrm{Mod}(\mathbb V)$ (e.g., the triplet algebras $\mathcal{W}_p$ for $p\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 2}$ or the even symplectic fermion VOAs $SF_d^+$ for $d\in \mathbb{Z}_+$). We prove that, unlike in the rational case, for $N\geq 4$ there is no vector bundle on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,N}$ whose fibers are the spaces of conformal blocks associated to certain $\mathbb{V}$-modules, since the dimensions of these conformal block spaces differ between smooth and nodal curves. Consequently, the sheaf of coinvariants associated to these $\mathbb V$-modules on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,N}$ is not locally free for $N\geq 4$. It also follows that, unlike in the rational case, the mode transition algebra $\mathfrak A$ introduced by Damiolini-Gibney-Krashen is not isomorphic to the end $\mathbb E=\int_{\mathbb X\in \mathrm{Mod}(\mathbb X)}\mathbb X\otimes \mathbb{X}'$ as an object of $\mathrm{Mod}(\mathbb{V}^{\otimes 2})$.
