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…

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

First constructed genus 2 Cantor set in 3D space.

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…

All projections of typical Cantor sets in high dimensions are Cantor sets.

New Cantor sets with high-dimensional projections discovered.

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

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 …

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…

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

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…

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

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…

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

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=…

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 $C$.

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…

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

CMC-1 surfaces found on compact Riemann surfaces with Cantor sets.

Study shows similar result to Margulis for Cantor set homeomorphisms.

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 $d\geq 4$.

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 $<1+ε$.

Non-ergodic geodesic flow on Cantor tree surfaces found.

The paper constructs wild Cantor sets in high dimensions.

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

In this paper, we study Basmajian-type series identities on holomorphic families of Cantor sets associated to one-dimensional complex dynamical systems. We show that the series is absolutely summable if and only if the Hausdorff dimension of the Cantor set is strictly less than one. Throughout the domain of convergence…

Infinite clique of rays in plane minus Cantor set.

Every countable compact subset of sphere is tame.

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…

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

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

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…

Groups acting on product trees are boundary rigid.

Cantor Riemannium is a new type of space from holomorphic germs.

The ray graph is a Gromov hyperbolic graph on which the mapping class group of the plane minus a Cantor set acts by isometries. We give a description of the Gromov boundary of the ray graph in terms of cliques of long rays on the plane minus a Cantor set. As a consequence, we prove that the Gromov boundary of the ray g…

CantorNet tests geometric and topological complexity in neural networks.

We will show that if a proper complete CAT(0) space X has a visual boundary homeomorphic to the join of two Cantor sets, and X admits a geometric group action by a group containing a subgroup isomorphic to Z^2, then its Tits boundary is the spherical join of two uncountable discrete sets. If X is geodesically complete,…

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…

Study concordance of decompositions from defining sequences in 3-sphere.

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,…
