The paper extends graph signatures to Klein graphs and foams, linking signatures to knot properties.

We consider the extension of classical 2-dimensional topological quantum field theories to Klein topological quantum field theories which allow unorientable surfaces. We approach this using the theory of modular operads by introducing a new operad governing associative algebras with involution. This operad is Koszul an…

Counting lattice points in moduli space of Klein surfaces.

We define some signature invariants for a class of knotted trivalent graphs using branched covers. We relate them to classical signatures of knots and links. Finally, we explain how to compute these invariants through the example of Kinoshita's knotted theta graph.

Considering a solid 3-dimensional Klein bottle and a collaring of its boundary, can we extend a generic $C^\infty$ non-singular function defined on the collaring to the full solid Klein bottle without critical points? We give a condition on the Reeb graph of the given function that is necessary and sufficient for the e…

Graph coloring is explained using a topological field theory with defects.

This thesis is concerned with the application of operadic methods, particularly modular operads, to questions arising in the study of moduli spaces of surfaces as well as applications to the study of homotopy algebras and new constructions of 'quantum invariants' of manifolds inspired by ideas originating from physics.…

In this paper, we show how to construct graph theoretical models of n-dimensional continuous objects and manifolds. These models retain topological properties of their continuous counterparts. An LCL collection of n-cells in Euclidean space is introduced and investigated. If an LCL collection of n-cells is a cover of a…

This paper characterizes a specific type of twisted Artin groups embedded in knot groups.

Let M be a compact, connected, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold and T' an incompressible torus boundary component of M such that the pair (M,T') is not cabled. By a result of C. Gordon, if S and T are incompressible punctured tori in M with boundary on T' and boundary slopes at distance d, then d is at most 8, and th…

We list special graphs of degree 4 with at most 3 vertices (atoms from the theory of integrable hamiltonian systems) which could be represented by a union of closed geodesics on the one of the following surfaces with metric of constant curvature: sphere, projective plane, torus, Klein bottle.

High-order Klein geometries constructed using Lie algebras.

A Klein surface is a surface with a dianalytic structure. A double of a Klein surface $X$ is a Klein surface $Y$ such that there is a degree two morphism (of Klein surfaces) $Y\rightarrow X$. There are many doubles of a given Klein surface and among them the so-called natural doubles which are: the complex double, the …

Infinite Klein bottles with 4-fold meridians found.

Determinants of theta curves and symmetric graphs are studied.

This paper contains some results about Teichmüller spaces of non-orientable surfaces (Klein surfaces). We prove several theorems giving isomorphisms between deformation spaces of Klein surfaces. These results show the similarity between the deformation theory of Klein surfaces, and the theory of Riemann surfaces. We al…

The classical theorem of Fáry states that every planar graph can be represented by an embedding in which every edge is represented by a straight line segment. We consider generalizations of Fáry's theorem to surfaces equipped with Riemannian metrics. In this setting, we require that every edge is drawn as a shortest pa…

The paper studies diffeomorphisms of a specific foliation on a Klein bottle.

This paper considers *-graphs in which all vertices have degree 4 or 6, and studies the question of calculating the genus of nonorientable surfaces into which such graphs may be embedded. In a previous paper by the authors, the problem of calculating whether a given *-graph in which all vertices have degree 4 or 6 admi…

In this paper we present explicit formulas for the fundamental solution to the Klein-Gordon operator on some higher dimensional generalizations of the Möbius strip and the Klein bottle with values in distinct pinor bundles. The fundamental solution is described in terms of generalizations of the Weierstraß $\wp$-functi…

First explicit isometric immersion of a flat Klein bottle in 3D space.

New homeomorphism found in Klein bottle group.

We consider the question of how many essential Seifert Klein bottles with common boundary slope a knot in S^3 can bound, up to ambient isotopy. We prove that any hyperbolic knot in S^3 bounds at most six Seifert Klein bottles with a given boundary slope. The Seifert Klein bottles in a minimal projection of hyperbolic p…

A new framework for hyperbolic neural networks using the Klein model is introduced.

Classifies compact Clifford-Klein forms for specific Lie algebras.

The study sets limits on the complexity of Klein geometries.

Given a hyperelliptic Klein surface, we construct companion Klein bottles. Bavard's short loops on companion bottles are studied in relation to the surface to improve an inequality of Gromov's in systolic geometry.

Solves a problem about deforming symplectic forms on a Klein bottle.

We study the connected components of the space of higher spin bundles on hyperbolic Klein surfaces. A Klein surface is a generalisation of a Riemann surface to the case of non-orientable surfaces or surfaces with boundary. The category of Klein surfaces is isomorphic to the category of real algebraic curves. An m-spin …

No Lagrangian Klein bottles found in $S^2 imes S^2$.

New Klein-Maskit theorems for Anosov subgroups.

We study the small perturbations of the $1+3$-dimensional Milne model for the Einstein-Klein-Gordon (EKG) system. We prove the nonlinear future stability, and show that the perturbed spacetimes are future causally geodesically complete. For the proof, we work within the constant mean curvature (CMC) gauge and focus on …

We find all m-spin structures on Klein surfaces of genus larger than one. An m-spin structure on a Riemann surface P is a complex line bundle on P whose m-th tensor power is the cotangent bundle of P. A Klein surface can be described by a pair (P,tau), where P is a Riemann surface and tau is an anti-holomorphic involut…

We construct one-parameter families of solutions to the Einstein--Klein--Gordon equations bifurcating off the Kerr solution such that the underlying family of spacetimes are each an asymptotically flat, stationary, axisymmetric, black hole spacetime, and such that the corresponding scalar fields are non-zero and time-p…

Develops theory of d-holomorphic connections on Klein surfaces.

We investigate the Kaluza-Klein reductions to ten dimensions of the purely gravitational half-BPS M-theory backgrounds: the M-wave and the Kaluza-Klein monopole. We determine the moduli space of smooth (supersymmetric) Kaluza-Klein reductions by classifying the freely-acting spacelike Killing vectors which preserve som…

A homogeneous space G/H is said to have a compact Clifford-Klein form if there exists a discrete subgroup D of G that acts properly discontinuously on G/H, such that the quotient space D\G/H is compact. When n is even, we find every closed, connected subgroup H of G = SO(2,n), such that G/H has a compact Clifford-Klein…

We define the infinitesimal and geometric orders of an effective Klein geometry G/H. Using these concepts, we prove i) For any integer m>1, there exists an effective Klein geometry G/H of infinitesimal order m such that G/H is a projective variety (Corollary 9). ii) An effective Klein geometry G/H of geometric order M …

Study surgeries on Klein bottle knots in 3-manifolds using Heegaard Floer homology.

This article proves that the parity of the number of Klein-bottle leaves in a smooth cooriented taut foliation is invariant under smooth deformations within taut foliations, provided that every Klein-bottle leaf involved in the counting has non-trivial linear holonomy.

We provide a necessary condition for the existence of a compact Clifford-Klein form of a given homogeneous space of reductive type. The key to the proof is to combine a result of Kobayashi-Ono with an elementary fact that certain two different Clifford-Klein forms have the same cohomology ring. We give some examples, S…

The goal of these lectures is to give an introduction to the study of the fundamental group of a Klein surface. We start by reviewing the topological classification of Klein surfaces and by explaining the relation with real algebraic curves. Then we introduce the fundamental group of a Klein surface and present its mai…

Klein bottle embeds into specific lens spaces.

Let $K$ be a Klein bottle. We show that the infimum of the Willmore energy among all immersed Klein bottles in Euclidean $n$-space is attained by a smooth embedded Klein bottle, where $n\geq 4$. There are three distinct regular homotopy classes of immersed Klein bottles in the Euclidean four-space each one containing a…

In two papers titled "On the so-called non-Euclidean geometry", I and II, Felix Klein proposed a construction of the spaces of constant curvature -1, 0 and and 1 (that is, hyperbolic, Euclidean and spherical geometry) within the realm of projective geometry. Klein's work was inspired by ideas of Cayley who derived the …

We investigate Kaluza-Klein metrics with a recurrent light-like vector field over a pseudo-Riemannian manifold.

In this article we prove that under certain assumptions, a reductive homogeneous space G/H does not admit a solvable compact Clifford-Klein form. This generalizes the well known non-existence theorem of Benoist for nilpotent Clifford-Klein forms. This generalization works for a particular class of homogeneous spaces de…
