Unusual symmetries of the Cayley-Menger determinant for the volume of tetrahedra

Suppose you have a tetrahedron $T$ in Euclidean space with edge lengths $\ell_{01}$, $\ell_{02}$, $\ell_{03}$, $\ell_{12}$, $\ell_{13}$, and $\ell_{23}$. Now consider the tetrahedron $T'$ with edge le …

What are the points of Spec(Vassiliev Invariants)?

The points of Spec $V$ live n a somewhat complicated completion of the space of knots (not formal linear combinations), but I think it's illuminating to think about the case of braids and their "Vassi …

Upper half plane quotient by a discrete group

I like to think about this geometrically. $H/\Gamma$ is a topological metric space. At most points of $H$ (that are not fixed by any element of $\Gamma$, the quotient looks just like the hyperbolic …

I'm not sure exactly what the question is, but let me comment that lots of Feynman graphs with lots of different rules for labelling the vertices come up in QFT, as explained by Theo. From the QFT po …
