We extend the Nielsen theory of coincidence sets to equalizer sets, the points where a given set of (more than 2) mappings agree. On manifolds, this theory is interesting only for maps between spaces of different dimension, and our results hold for sets of k maps on compact manifolds from dimension (k-1)n to dimension …

We prove that if MM is a three-manifold with scalar curvature greater than or equal to -2 and ΣMΣ\subset M is a two-sided compact embedded Riemann surface of genus greater than 1 which is locally area-minimizing, then the area of ΣΣ is greater than or equal to 4π(g(Σ)1)4π(g(Σ)-1), where g(Σ)g(Σ) denotes the genus of ΣΣ. In t…

The equality between the balanced and the Gauduchon cones is discussed in several situations. In particular, it is shown that equality does not hold on many twistor spaces, and it holds on Moishezon manifolds. Moreover, it is proved that a SKT manifold of dimension three on which the balanced cone equals the Gauduchon …

These restrictions are particularly useful in the case where the knot in question is alternating. As an example, we use them to classify all knots with crossing number less than or equal to nine and unknotting number…
