The study identifies all possible vector field structures on specific 2D shapes.

We answer a question of Liokumovich-Nabutovsky-Rotman showing that if D is a Riemannian 2-disc with boundary length L, diameter d and area A << d then D can be filled by a homotopy where the lengths of the intermediate curves are bounded by $L+2d+O(\sqrt A)$.

P. Papasoglu asked in [Pap13] whether for any Riemannian 3-disk $M$ with diameter $d$, boundary area $A$ and volume $V$, there exists a homotopy $S_t$ contracting the boundary to a point so that the area of $S_t$ is bounded by $f(d,A,V)$ for some function $f$. He further asks whether it is possible to subdivide $M$ by …

In this paper we prove a stability theorem for block diffeomorphisms of 2d-dimensional manifolds that are connected sums of S^d x S^d. Combining this with a recent theorem of S. Galatius and O. Randal-Williams and Morlet's lemma of disjunction, we determine the homology of the classifying space of their diffeomorphism …

Open 2D TFTs extend to closed theories with circle value as Hochschild homology.

The paper develops obstructions for embedding 2D complexes into 4D space.

We study resurgence properties of partition function of SU(2) Chern-Simons theory (WRT invariant) on closed three-manifolds. We check explicitly that in various examples Borel transforms of asymptotic expansions posses expected analytic properties. In examples that we study we observe that contribution of irreducible f…

The paper extends topological field theory to noncompact surfaces using symmetric powers.

While the study of bordered (pseudo-)holomorphic curves with boundary on Lagrangian submanifolds has a long history, a similar problem that involves (special) Lagrangian submanifolds with boundary on complex surfaces appears to be largely overlooked in both physics and math literature. We relate this problem to geometr…

The conformal Laplacian's algebraic structure is explored in 2D, revealing a central charge.

This paper presents a method to compute the {\it quasi-conformal parameterization} (QCMC) for a multiply-connected 2D domain or surface. QCMC computes a quasi-conformal map from a multiply-connected domain $S$ onto a punctured disk $D_S$ associated with a given Beltrami differential. The Beltrami differential, which me…

Given a genus-$g$ Heegaard splitting of the $3$-sphere with $g \ge 3$, we show that the primitive disk complex for the splitting is not weakly closed under disk surgery operation. That is, there exist two primitive disks in one of the handlebodies of the splitting such that any disk surgery on one along the other one y…

Note on connectedness of primitive disk complex.

Let $K$ be an unknot in $8$-bridge position in the $3$-sphere. We give an example of a pair of weak reducing disks $D_1$ and $D_2$ for $K$ such that both disks obtained from $D_i$ ($i = 1, 2$) by a surgery along any outermost disk in $D_{3-i}$, cut off by an outermost arc of $D_i \cap D_{3-i}$ in $D_{3-i}$, are not wea…

2D CNNs approximate Korobov functions with near-optimal rates.

New knots bound multiple non-isotopic ribbon disks.

We study cobordisms and cobordisms rel boundary of PL locally-flat disk knots $D^{n-2}\into D^n$. Cobordisms of disk knots that do not fix the boundary sphere knots are easily classified by the cobordism properties of these boundaries, and any two even-dimensional disk knots with isotopic boundary knots are cobordant r…

Khovanov homology fails to differentiate certain slice disks.

For a genus two Heegaard splitting of a lens space, the primitive disk complex is defined to be the full subcomplex of the disk complex for one of the handlebodies of the splitting spanned by all vertices of primitive disks. In this work, we describe the complete combinatorial structure of the primitive disk complex fo…

We study the classification of slice disks of knots up to isotopy and diffeomorphism using an invariant in knot Floer homology. We compute the invariant of a slice disk obtained by deform-spinning, and show that it can be effectively used to distinguish non-isotopic slice disks with diffeomorphic complements. Given a s…

A criterion for Whitney disks connects intersections in 3-manifold homology.

Derive bihamiltonian structure for rational reduction of 2D-Toda hierarchy

New disks found with similar outer shapes.

We construct an infinite family of slice disks with the same exterior, which gives an affirmative answer to an old question asked by Hitt and Sumners in 1981. Furthermore, we prove that these slice disks are ribbon disks.

New spanning 3-disks found for unlink in 4-sphere.

Even-dimensional simply connected manifolds that are rational homology spheres and double disk bundles are homeomorphic to spheres.

We study the relationship between fibered ribbon 1-knots and fibered ribbon 2-knots by studying fibered slice disks with handlebody fibers. We give a characterization of fibered homotopy-ribbon disks and give analogues of the Stallings twist for fibered disks and 2-knots. As an application, we produce infinite families…

Rare Teichmüller disks converge to small limit sets.

Study of disks in complex projective space with specific fundamental groups.

Proves existence of non-planar minimal disks in ellipsoids.

A Seifert surface F for a knot K is disk decomposable if there is a taut sutured manifold heirarchy for the complement of F, whose decomposing surfaces are all disks. It follows that F has minimal genus for the knot K, and has handlebody complement, i.e., F is free. We show that these necessary conditions for disk deco…

For many automated driving functions, a highly accurate perception of the vehicle environment is a crucial prerequisite. Modern high-resolution radar sensors generate multiple radar targets per object, which makes these sensors particularly suitable for the 2D object detection task. This work presents an approach to de…

Disk and sphere graphs embed quasi-isometrically in R^2.

New method reconstructs 3D shapes from 2D images using Kendall's shape space.

Three configurations of two perpendicular disks in R^3 are examined, the first in which the disks share centers and the other two in which the disks touch at precisely one point. Volume, surface area and mean width calculations dominate the discussion. Integrated mean curvature also appears as an indirect way to comput…

The paper establishes T-duality for 2D σ-models with H-flux.

We deform a minimal disk in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with a branch point into symplectic minimally immersed disks with only transverse double points.

Using generalized Riemann maps, normal forms for almost complex domains (D, J) with singular foliations by stationary disks are defined. Such normal forms are used to construct counterexamples and to determine intrinsic conditions, under which the stationary disks are extremal disks for the Kobayashi metric or determin…

We classify the resolution graphs of weighted homogeneous surface singularities which admit rational homology disk smoothings. The nonexistence of rational homology disk smoothings is shown by symplectic geometric methods, while the existence is verified via smoothings of negative weights. In particular, it is shown th…
