In this paper, we partially solve Yau' Conjecture of the first eigenvalue of an embedded compact minimal hypersurface of unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}(1)$, i.e., Corollary 1.2. In particular, Corollary 1.3 proves that the condition $\int_{Ω_{1}}|\nabla u|^{2}=(n+1)\int_{Ω_{1}}u^{2}$ is naturally true and meaningful in …

Corrects mistakes in convergence rate claims for SGD learning rate scheme.

Corollary 2.3 in our paper "A geometric proof of the Karpelevich-Mostow theorem", Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 41 (2009), no. 4, 634-638, is false. Here we give a counterexample and show how to avoid the use of this corollary to give a simpler proof of Karpelevich-Mostow theorem. We also include a short discussion of the ori…

In this paper, we mainly prove a theorem with a corollary establishing two characterizations of the Calabi composition of hyperbolic hyperspheres, where the second characterization (i.e., the corollary) has been given via a dual correspondence theorem earlier but now we would like to use a very direct method. Note that…

A strictly convex real projective orbifold is equipped with a natural Finsler metric called the Hilbert metric. In the case that the projective structure is hyperbolic, the Hilbert metric and the hyperbolic metric coincide. We prove that the marked Hilbert length spectrum determines the projective structure only up to …

New quasi-homomorphisms on surface groups vanish on handlebody groups.

For any family of measurable sets in a probability space, we show that either (i) the family has infinite Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension or (ii) for every epsilon > 0 there is a finite partition pi such the pi-boundary of each set has measure at most epsilon. Immediate corollaries include the fact that a family wit…

We show that every K-contact Einstein manifold is Sasakian-Einstein and discuss several corollaries of this result.

This note studies an issue relating to essential smoothness that can arise when the theory of large deviations is applied to a certain option pricing formula in the Heston model. The note identifies a gap, based on this issue, in the proof of Corollary 2.4 in \cite{FordeJacquier10} and describes how to circumvent it. T…

We give new obstructions to the module structures arising in Heegaard Floer homology. As a corollary, we characterize the possible modules arising as the Heegaard Floer homology of an integer homology sphere with one-dimensional reduced Floer homology. Up to absolute grading shifts, there are only two. We use this coro…

This note is purely expository. A subset N of the plane is affine ambient homogeneous if for each x,y in N there exists an affine transformation taking x to y and N to itself. The result of D. Repovs, E. V. Scepin and the author on such subsets is presented, together with discussion, corollaries and generalizations. At…

For a given multicusp $f=c_{(θ_0,..., θ_i)}$ $(1\le i)$, we present a direct sum decomposition theorem of the source space of ${}_i\barωf$, where ${}_i\barωf$ is a higher version of the reduced Kodaira-Spencer-Mather map $\barωf$. As a corollary of our direct sum decomposition theorem, we show that for any $i\in \mathb…

In this paper we obtain theorems of Barth-Lefschetz type in Sasakian geometry. As corollaries, this implis connectedness principle and Frankel's type theorem.

In the present paper we study two-dimensional maximal surfaces with harmonic level-sets. As a corollary we obtain a new class of one-periodic maximal surfaces.

Let L be a Legendrian knot in R^3 with the standard contact structure. In [10], a map was constructed from equivalence classes of Morse complex sequences for L, which are combinatorial objects motivated by generating families, to homotopy classes of augmentations of the Legendrian contact homology algebra of L. Moreove…

We prove that the boundary of a right-angled hyperbolic building is a universal Menger space. Corollary: the 3-dimensional universal Menger space is the boundary of some Gromov-hyperbolic group.

In this paper, we show that any non-arithmetic hyperbolic $2$-bridge link complement admits no hidden symmetries. As a corollary, we conclude that a hyperbolic $2$-bridge link complement cannot irregularly cover a hyperbolic $3$-manifold. By combining this corollary with the work of Boileau and Weidmann, we obtain a ch…

We refine a Le and Murakami uniqueness theorem for the Kontsevich Integral in order to specify the relationship between the two (possibly equal) main universal link invariants: the Kontsevich Integral and the perturbative expression of the Chern-Simons theory. As a corollary, we prove that the Altschuler and Freidel an…

We prove that the Khovanov homology of the 2-cable detects the unknot. A corollary is that Khovanov's categorification of the 2-colored Jones polynomial detects the unknot.

This short note shows how the Novikov conjecture for mapping class groups follows from a theorem of Kato and a result theorem of Hamenstadt.

We provide a detailed proof of the following folklore theorem: Let mu > 0 be a Margulis constant for 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. Then for any d>0 there exists a constant K>0, depending on mu and d, so that for any complete finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M, the d-neighborhood of the mu-thick part of M can be tr…

We give a closed formula for the multivariable Conway potential function of any graph link in a homology sphere. As corollaries, we answer three questions by Walter Neumann about graph links.

I present a formula for the Casson invariant of knots associated with divides. The formula is written in terms of Arnold's invariants of pieces of the divide. Various corollaries are discussed.

In this paper we investigate the problem of non-analytic embeddings of Lorentzian manifolds in Ricci-flat semi-Riemannian spaces. In order to do this, we first review some relevant results in the area, and then motivate both the mathematical and physical interest in this problem. We show that any $n$-dimensional compac…

In planar algebras, we show how to project certain simple "quadratic" tangles onto the linear space spanned by "linear" and "constant" tangles. We obtain some corollaries about the principal graphs and annular structure of subfactors.

In this note we consider sampling from (non-homogeneous) strongly Rayleigh probability measures. As an important corollary, we obtain a fast mixing Markov Chain sampler for Determinantal Point Processes.

We give a closed formula for the Conway function of a splice in terms of the Conway function of its splice components. As corollaries, we refine and generalize results of Seifert, Torres, and Sumners-Woods.

We prove that there is an algorithm which determines whether or not a given 2-polyhedron can be embedded into some integral homology 3-sphere. This is a corollary of the following main result. Let $M$ be a compact connected orientable 3-manifold with boundary. Denote $G=\Z$, $G=\Z/p\Z$ or $G=\Q$. If $H_1(M;G)\cong G^k$…

We prove that the total curvature of any planar graph with nonnegative combinatorial curvature is an integral multiple of $\frac{1}{12}.$ As a corollary, this answers a question proposed by T. Réti.

We characterize which Legendrian $4$-plat knots in the standard contact $3$-space have exact orientable Lagrangian fillings. As a corollary, we show that the underlying smooth knot types of fillable Legendrian $4$-plats are positive.

For a noncompact 3-manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, we prove that either it is diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^3$ or the universal cover splits. As a corollary, it confirms a conjecture of Milnor in dimension 3.

We consider aspherical manifolds with torsion-free virtually polycyclic fundamental groups, constructed by Baues. We prove that if those manifolds are cohomologically symplectic then they are symplectic. As a corollary we show that cohomologically symplectic solvmanifolds are symplectic.

We show that any complete $f$-stable translating soliton $M$ admits no codimension one cycle which does not disconnect $M$. As a corollary, it follows that any two dimensional complete $f$-stable translating soliton has genus zero.

We determine a wide class of knots, which includes unknotting number one knots, within which Khovanov homology detects the unknot. A corollary is that the Khovanov homology of many satellite knots, including the Whitehead double, detects the unknot.

This paper deals with a semi-classical limit (Theorem 1) by using traditional mathematical methods, and shows a Hopf theorem as a corollary. A formal discussion of it may be found in [7].

We provide here a counter-example to the second inequality of Corollary (19.10) in the Clay Institute Monograph by J.Morgan and G.Tian entitled "Ricci Flow and the Poincare Conjecture". We had announced the existence of this counter-example in our paper "Five Gaps in Mathematics", Advanced Non-linear Studies, vol 15, N…

We consider a knot homotopy as a cylinder in 4-space. An ordinary triple point $p$ of the cylinder is called {\em coherent} if all three branches intersect at $p$ pairwise with the same index. A {\em triple unknotting} of a classical knot $K$ is a homotopy which connects $K$ with the trivial knot and which has as singu…

This paper develops an approach for describing centrally extended groups, as determining the adjoint groups associated with quandles. Furthermore, we explicitly describe such groups of some quandles. As a corollary, we determine some second quandle homologies.

We prove duality theorems for twisted Reidemeister torsions and twisted Alexander polynomials generalizing the results of Turaev. As a corollary we determine the parity of the degrees of twisted Alexander polynomials of 3-manifolds in many cases.

We give criteria for an invariant of lens space links to bound the maximal self-linking number in certain tight contact lens spaces. As a corollary we extend the Franks-Williams-Morton inequality to the setting of lens spaces.
