Topological Invariants for Lines
A set of topological invariants for relations between lines embedded in the 2-dimensional Euclidean space is given. The set of invariants is proven to be necessary and sufficient to characterize topological equivalence classes of binary relations between simple lines. The topology of arbitrarily complex geometric scenes is described with a variation of the same set of invariants. Polynomial tim...
متن کاملIntegral Cohomology of Rational Projection Method Patterns
We study the cohomology and hence K-theory of the aperiodic tilings formed by the so called ‘cut and project’ method, i.e., patterns in d dimensional Euclidean space which arise as sections of higher dimensional, periodic structures. They form one of the key families of patterns used in quasicrystal physics, where their topological invariants carry quantum mechanical information. Our work devel...
متن کاملBoxicity and topological invariants
The boxicity of a graph G = (V,E) is the smallest integer k for which there exist k interval graphs Gi = (V,Ei), 1 ≤ i ≤ k, such that E = E1 ∩ · · · ∩ Ek. Equivalently, the boxicity of G is the smallest integer d ≥ 1 such that G is the intersection graph of a collection of boxes in R (a box in R the cartesian product of d closed intervals of the real line). In the first part of the talk, I will...
متن کاملAnalytic and Topological Invariants
We construct skew-adjoint operators associated to nowhere zero vector elds on manifolds with vanishing Euler number. The mod 2 indices of these operators provide potentially new invariants for such manifolds. An odd index theorem for corresponding Toeplitz operators is established. This last result may be viewed as an odd dimensional analogue of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem. It is well-known ...
متن کاملTopological Hamiltonian as an exact tool for topological invariants.
We propose the concept of 'topological Hamiltonian' for topological insulators and superconductors in interacting systems. The eigenvalues of the topological Hamiltonian are significantly different from the physical energy spectra, but we show that the topological Hamiltonian contains the information of gapless surface states, therefore it is an exact tool for topological invariants.
