Codes on graphs: Models for elementary algebraic topology and statistical physics (1707.06621v2)
Published 20 Jul 2017 in cs.IT, cond-mat.stat-mech, cs.SY, and math.IT
Abstract: This paper is mainly a semi-tutorial introduction to elementary algebraic topology and its applications to Ising-type models of statistical physics, using graphical models of linear and group codes. It contains new material on systematic (n,k) group codes and their information sets; normal realizations of homology and cohomology spaces; dual and hybrid models; and connections with system-theoretic concepts such as observability, controllability, and input/output realizations.
