Twisted Gross–Zagier Theorems

Twisted bundles and twisted K-theory

Many papers have been devoted recently to twisted K-theory as originally defined in [15] and [29]. See for instance the references [2], [23] and the very accessible paper [30]. We offer here a more direct approach based on the notion of “twisted vector bundles”. This is not an entirely new idea, since we find it in [4], [6], [7], [8] and [9] for instance, under different names and from various ...

Twisted Alexander Invariants of Twisted Links

Let L = 1∪· · ·∪ d+1 be an oriented link in S3, and let L(q) be the d-component link 1 ∪· · ·∪ d regarded in the homology 3-sphere that results from performing 1/q-surgery on d+1. Results about the Alexander polynomial and twisted Alexander polynomials of L(q) corresponding to finite-image representations are obtained. The behavior of the invariants as q increases without bound is described.

Twisted Radio Waves and Twisted Thermodynamics

We present and analyze a gedanken experiment and show that the assumption that an antenna operating at a single frequency can transmit more than two independent information channels to the far field violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Transmission of a large number of channels, each associated with an angular momenta 'twisted wave' mode, to the far field in free space is therefore not po...

TWISTED K - HOMOLOGY THEORY , TWISTED Ext - THEORY

These are notes on twisted K-homology theory and twisted Ext-theory from the C *-algebra viewpoint, part of a series of talks on " C *-algebras, noncommutative geometry and K-theory " , primarily for physicists.
