Abstract

A great part of the mathematical foundations of topological quantum computation is given by the theory of modular categories which provides a description of the topological phases of matter such as anyon systems. In the near future the anyonic engineering will provide the anyonic devices from which the topological quantum computers will be constructed. From other side the string anyons are interesting topological phases of matter which can be described using mathematical constructions such as Frobenius algebras and open-closed string topological quantum field theories which are based on cobordism categories. Recently was proposed that is possible to obtain representations of cobordism categories using modular categories. In the present work, the modular categories resulting as representations of the 3 dimensional bordism 2 category are used with the aim to construct a new model of topological quantum computation. Such new model is named Sanyon Topological Quantum Computation and it is is theoretically performed by evolving non abelian string anyons (sanyons) using the Loop Braid Group and the open closed cobordism category. The output of the computation uniquely depends on how the sanyons have been braided by the Loop Braid Group and operated by the generators of the cobordism category. Small disturbances do not unravel the loop braids and the cobordisms, making the computation resistant to errors and decoherence.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
