A classical theorem of Alexandroff states that every $n$-dimensional compactum $X$ contains an $n$-dimensional Cantor manifold. This theorem has a number of generalizations obtained by various authors. We consider extension-dimensional and infinite dimensional analogs of strong Cantor manifolds, Mazurkiewicz manifolds,…

Hyperbolic 3-manifolds can be approximated by removing Cantor sets from the 3-sphere.

For each Cantor set C in $R^{3}$, all points of which have bounded local genus, we show that there are infinitely many inequivalent Cantor sets in $R^{3}$ with complement having the same fundamental group as the complement of C. This answers a question from Open Problems in Topology and has as an application a simple c…

We construct uncountably many simply connected open 3-manifolds with genus one ends homeomorphic to the Cantor set. Each constructed manifold has the property that any self homeomorphism of the manifold (which necessarily extends to a homeomorphism of the ends) fixes the ends pointwise. These manifolds are complements …

The group of $\mathcal C^1$-diffeomorphisms of any sparse Cantor subset of a manifold is countable and discrete (possibly trivial). Thompson's groups come out of this construction when we consider central ternary Cantor subsets of an interval. Brin's higher dimensional generalizations $nV$ of Thompson's group $V$ arise…

For every finitely generated abelian group G, we construct an irreducible open 3-manifold $M_{G}$ whose end set is homeomorphic to a Cantor set and with end homogeneity group of $M_{G}$ isomorphic to G. The end homogeneity group is the group of self-homeomorphisms of the end set that extend to homeomorphisms of the 3-m…

Uncountably many fibrations found on genus 2 handlebody.

Minimal surfaces can be mapped to 3D with bounded images.

We study direct limits of embedded Cantor sets and embedded \sier curves. We show that under appropriate conditions on the embeddings, all limits of Cantor spaces give rise to homeomorphic spaces, called $ω$-Cantor spaces, and similarly, all limits of \sier curves give homeomorphic spaces, called to $ω$-\sier curves. W…

The study explores homeomorphism groups of self-similar 2-manifolds, including the 2-sphere and Cantor set.

Proves asymptotic mapping class groups of Cantor manifolds are of type F_infinity.

The paper explores low-dimensional solenoidal manifolds and their properties.

By a Cantor group we mean a topological group homeomorphic to the Cantor set. The author earlier proved that every compact metric space of rational cohomological dimension n can be obtained as the orbit space of a Cantor group action on a metric compact space of covering dimension n. In this paper, we consider actions …

We introduce a topological object, called hairy Cantor set, which in many ways enjoys the universal features of objects like Jordan curve, Cantor set, Cantor bouquet, hairy Jordan curve, etc. We give an axiomatic characterisation of hairy Cantor sets, and prove that any two such objects in the plane are ambiently homeo…

Excises interesting subsets from symplectic manifolds.

We found a new simple family of Cantor sets whose projections are one-dimensional.

In the paper, we provide an effective method for the Lipschitz equivalence of two-branch Cantor sets and three-branch Cantor sets by studying the irreducibility of polynomials. We also find that any two Cantor sets are Lipschitz equivalent if and only if their contraction vectors are equivalent provided one of the cont…

Bing-Whitehead Cantor sets were introduced by DeGryse and Osborne in dimension three and greater to produce examples of Cantor sets that were non standard (wild), but still had simply connected complement. In contrast to an earlier example of Kirkor, the construction techniques could be generalized to dimensions bigger…

First constructed genus 2 Cantor set in 3D space.

By a Cantor group we mean a topological group homeomorphic to the Cantor set. We show that a compact metric space of rational cohomological dimension $n$ can be obtained as the orbit space of a Cantor group action on a metric compact space of covering dimension $n$. Moreover, the action can be assumed to be free if $n=…

New Cantor sets with high-dimensional projections discovered.

In this article, we study the smooth mapping class group of a surface S relative to a given Cantor set, that is the group of isotopy classes of orientation-preserving smooth diffeomorphisms of S which preserve this Cantor set. When the Cantor set is the standard ternary Cantor set, we prove that the subgroup consisting…

Researchers create a Fredholm module on fractal shapes like the Cantor set.

We construct a Cantor set in S^3 whose complement admits a complete hyperbolic metric.

An analogue of the Riemannian Geometry for an ultrametric Cantor set (C, d) is described using the tools of Noncommutative Geometry. Associated with (C, d) is a weighted rooted tree, its Michon tree. This tree allows to define a family of spectral triples giving the Cantor set the structure of a noncommutative Riemanni…

The study confirms most Cantor sets are in general position for all projections.

New minimal surfaces found with Cantor ends in convex domains.

We construct a large class of pathological $n$-dimensional topological spheres in ${\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ by showing that for any Cantor set $C\subset {\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ there is a topological embedding $f:{\mathbb S}^n\to{\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ of the Sobolev class $W^{1,n}$ whose image contains the Cantor set $C$.

The paper studies the moduli space of generalized Cantor sets and their properties.

Free groups can be end homogeneity groups of 3-manifolds.

Every normal subgroup of Cantor tree's mapping class group is geometric.

A subset of ${\mathbb R}^d$ is called "sticky" if it cannot be isotoped off of itself by a small ambient isotopy. Sticky wild Cantor sets are constructed in ${\mathbb R}^d$ for each $d\geq 4$.

The study classifies normal subgroups of mapping class groups of surfaces with Cantor subsets.

The paper constructs wild Cantor sets in high dimensions.

We prove that Kleinian groups whose limit sets are Cantor sets of Hausdorff dimension $<1$ are free. On the other hand we construct for any $ε>0$ examples of non-free purely hyperbolic Kleinian groups whose limit set is a Cantor set of Hausdorff dimension $<1+ε$.

New method uses Cantor embeddings and Wasserstein distances to analyze predictive states in time series data.

Riemannian manifolds can be realized as leaf spaces of matchbox manifolds.

In this paper, for a non compact and orientable surface $S$ been either: the Infinite Loch Ness monster, the Cantor tree and the Blooming Cantor tree, we construct explicitly an infinitely generated Fuchsian group $Γ<PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$, such that the quotient $\mathbb{H}/Γ$ is a hyperbolic surface homeomorphic to $S$.

Infinite clique of rays in plane minus Cantor set.

Every countable compact subset of sphere is tame.

We provide a novel proof that the set of directions that admit a saddle connection on a meromorphic quadratic differential with at least one pole of order at least two is closed, which generalizes a result of Bridgeland and Smith, and Gaiotto, Moore, and Neitzke. Secondly, we show that this set has finite Cantor-Bendix…
