48 results for Durfee's conjecture

The paper proves a slope equality for smooth plane curve fibrations and applies it to Durfee's conjecture.

problem Proving Durfee's conjecture for isolated hypersurface singularities.
method Using slope equality for fibered surfaces with smooth plane curve fibers.
result The strong Durfee-type inequality for isolated hypersurface singularities is proven, implying Durfee's conjecture.

An old conjecture of Durfee 1978 bounds the ratio of two basic invariants of complex isolated complete intersection surface singularities: the Milnor number and the singularity (or geometric) genus. We give a counterexample for the case of non-hypersurface complete intersections, and we formulate a weaker conjecture va…

It is known that there are only finitely many knots with super bridge index 3. Jin and Jeon have provided a list of possible such candidates. However, they conjectured that the only knots with super bridge index 3 are trefoil and the figure eight knot. In this paper, we prove that the 525_2 knot and the 626_2 knot are …

We consider a parallelizable 2n2n-manifold FF which has the homotopy type of the wedge product of nn-spheres and show that the group of pseudo-isotopy classes of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms that keep the boundary F\partial F pointwise fixed and induce the trivial variation operator is a central extension …

We investigate classification results for general quadratic functions on torsion abelian groups. Unlike the previously studied situations, general quadratic functions are allowed to be inhomogeneous or degenerate. We study the discriminant construction which assigns, to an integral lattice with a distinguished characte…

We show that all knots up to 66 crossings can be represented by polynomial knots of degree at most 77, among which except for 52,52,61,61,62,625_2, 5_2^*, 6_1, 6_1^*, 6_2, 6_2^* and 636_3 all are in their minimal degree representation. We provide concrete polynomial representation of all these knots. Durfee and O'Shea had asked a q…

The paper generalizes a surgery conjecture and proves it under the Zilber-Pink conjecture.

problem Generalizing the Cosmetic Surgery Conjecture to nn-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
method Proves the generalized conjecture under the assumption of the Zilber-Pink conjecture, and without assuming it for n=1n=1 and 22.
result Proves the generalized Cosmetic Surgery Conjecture for n=1n=1 and 22 without assuming the Zilber-Pink conjecture.

Numerical study confirms Brennan's conjecture for a counterexample to Thurston's K=2K=2 conjecture.

problem Thurston's K=2K=2 conjecture and Brennan's conjecture in planar domains.
method Numerical analysis of a specific counterexample to Thurston's conjecture.
result The counterexample does not contradict Brennan's conjecture.

This paper gives an algebraic conjecture which is shown to be equivalent to Thurston's Geometrization Conjecture for closed, orientable 3-manifolds. It generalizes the Stallings-Jaco theorem which established a similar result for the Poincare Conjecture. The paper also gives two other algebraic conjectures; one is equi…

The Burghelea conjecture is proven for many groups, but not all, with counter-examples provided.

problem Computing the periodic cyclic homology of complex group rings.
method Analyzing groups of finite asymptotic dimension and constructing counter-examples.
result The Burghelea conjecture holds for many classes of groups but not for all, with specific counter-examples provided.

Symmetry-breaking in three differential geometry conjectures.

problem Exploring the role of symmetry in three differential geometry conjectures.
method Examining the Carathéodory, Willmore, and Lawson Conjectures through the lens of symmetry in 3D space-forms.
result Symmetry is broken, and more general ambient metrics are considered, leading to the failure of the conjectures.

Study proves Hecke lifting conjecture for torus knots and verifies it for any framed knots.

result Proves Hecke lifting conjecture for torus knots and verifies it for any framed knots.

In this article, we give proofs on the Arnold Lagrangian intersection conjecture on the cotangent bundles, Arnold-Givental Lagrangian intersection conjecture and the Arnold fixed point conjecture.

We survey the recent results and current issues on the topological rigidity problem for closed aspherical manifolds, i.e., connected closed manifolds whose universal coverings are contractible. A number of open problems and conjectures are presented during the course of the discussion. We also review the status and app…
