Aspects of symmetry, topology and anomalies in quantum matter
… this thesis, we explore the aspects of symmetry, topology and anomalies in quantum matter with entanglement from both condensed matter and high energy theory viewpoints. The focus of our research is on the gapped many-body quantum systems including symmetry-protected topological states (SPTs) and …

Two mod-p Johnson filtrations
We consider two mod-p central series of the free group given by Stallings and Zassenhaus. Applying these series to definitions of Dennis Johnson's filtration of the mapping class group we obtain two mod-p Johnson filtrations. Further, we adapt the definition of the Johnson homomorphisms to obtain …

The untwisting number of a knot
The unknotting number of a knot is the minimum number of crossings one must change to turn that knot into the unknot. The algebraic unknotting number is the minimum number of crossing changes needed to transform a knot into an Alexander polynomial-one knot. We work with a generalization of …

Hitchin Functionals, h-Principles and Spectral Invariants
… 3 then proceeds to interpret this unboundedness geometrically, demonstrating an unexpected link between the functional $\mathcal{H}_3$ and fibrations, proving that the 'large volume limit' of $\mathcal{H}_3$ in each case corresponds to the adiabatic limit of a suitable fibration. The proof …
