Laboratory for Topology and Dynamics

• We have established correlation between topology, quantum computing and qualities of fermions. In particular, we have studied the remarkable unitary braid group representations associated with Majorana fermions. (Kauffman L. H., Lomonaco S. J.). 
• Our researchers have investigated integrable magnetic billiards. As a new application of algebraic technique we have studied the existence of polynomial integrals for the two-sided magnetic billiards introduced by Kozlov and Polikarpov. (Byaliy M., Mironov A. Ye.).
• We have solved an open problem: an infinite family of 2-connected transmission irregular graphs aha been built (Dobrynin A. A.D.). It is known that almost all the graphs are not transmission irregular. Many invariants of molecular graphs that are called topological indices in applications are built on the basis of vortex transmission. Such indices are used for find correlations between structure and characteristics of organic compounds.

Education and career development:

• The leading scientist delivered two lecture courses: «Knot theory» (2018) and «Combinatorial knot theory» (2019) for undergraduate and postgraduate students of the Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics of the Novosibirsk State University (Russia).
• 1 candidate dissertation has been defended.

Other results:

• Employees of the laboratory have written and published 29 academic papers and 5 monograph chapters in the domain of the project.
• Seven international conferences have been organised:

1. Russian-Chinese Conference on Integrable Systems and Geometry (18–26 August 2018, Euler International Mathematical Institute, Russia);

2. Interdisciplinary symposium «Topological structures in mathematics, physics and biology» (14–18 September 2018, Novosibirsk State University, Russia);

3. International conference «Geometry days in Novosibirsk – 2018» (19–22 September 2018, Novosibirsk State University and Sobolev Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia);
