There is a relation between the generalized Property R Conjecture and the Schoenflies Conjecture that suggests a new line of attack on the latter. The approach gives a quick proof of the genus 2 Schoenflies Conjecture and suffices to prove the genus 3 case, even in the absence of new progress on the generalized Propert…

Approaches 4D Schoenflies via pseudo-isotopy.
The stable Andrews-Curtis conjecture in combinatorial group theory is the statement that every balanced presentation of the trivial group can be simplified to the trivial form by elementary moves corresponding to "handle-slides" together with "stabilization" moves. Schoenflies conjecture is the statement that the compl…
This is the announcement of an alternative approach to the 3-dimensional Poincaré Conjecture, different from Perelman's big and spectacular breakthrough. No claim concerning the other parts of the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture, come with our purely 4-dimensional line of argument.
New examples of Schoenflies balls are produced using a 5D approach.
We show that both, the Jordan curve theorem and the Schoenflies theorem extend to non-metric manifolds (at least in the two-dimensional context), and conclude by some dynamical applications à la Poincaré-Bendixson.
3D Schoenflies theorem for simply-connected 2-complexes.
BiLipschitz mappings can be extended to preserve area.
In this paper we prove a new version of the Schoenflies extension theorem for collared domains in Euclidean n-space: for 1 < p < n, locally bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms between collared domains with locally p-integrable, second-order weak derivatives admit homeomorphic extensions of the same regularity. Moreover, the th…
Calegari's 4-spheres from fibered knots are proven standard.
We show that a smooth embedding of a closed 3-manifold in S^3 x R can be isotoped so that every generic level divides S^3 x t into two handlebodies (i.e., is Heegaard) provided the original embedding has a unique local maximum with respect to the R coordinate. This allows uniqueness of embeddings to be studied via the …
Smooth flows with surgery approximate weak mean curvature flows with spherical and neck-pinch singularities.
This paper gives a complete proof of the result announced in the title.
The paper connects diffeomorphism groups and sphere embeddings, proving a group structure.
This paper describes a method to construct standard 4-balls from homotopy 4-balls in .
The paper classifies involutions on S^4, proving linearities under certain conditions.
This is an expository paper giving a proof of the existence and uniqueness of smooth structures (hence also PL structures) on topological surfaces. Most published proofs rely on the topological Schoenflies theorem, but here we use instead the Kirby torus trick. This has the advantage of reducing the point-set topology …
We give a general treatment of the somewhat unfamiliar operation on manifolds called Connected Sum at Infinity, or CSI for short. A driving ambition has been to make the geometry behind the well definition and basic properties of CSI as clear and elementary as possible. CSI then yields a very natural and elementary pro…
Classifies manifolds and discrete subgroups of Lie groups using descriptive set theory.
Low-entropy surfaces can be flowed into spheres and cylinders.
In a recent paper, {\it Algorithms for Deforming and Contracting Simply Connected Discrete Closed Manifolds (II)}, we discussed two algorithms for deforming and contracting a simply connected discrete closed manifold into a discrete sphere. The first algorithm was a continuation of work that began in {\it Algorithms fo…
Polyhedra volume conjecture supports Stoker conjecture weakly.
Survey on two non-Kähler geometry conjectures.
Numerical study confirms Brennan's conjecture for a counterexample to Thurston's conjecture.
The non-vanishing conjecture implies the abundance conjecture in certain cases.
Proves Gromov's conjecture and answers Stoker's polyhedron 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…
Symmetry-breaking in three differential geometry conjectures.
We introduce a new variant of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture designed to tackle coarsely disconnected metric spaces called the boundary coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. We prove this conjecture for many coarsely disconnected spaces that are known to be counterexamples to the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. In particula…
Study proves Hecke lifting conjecture for torus knots and verifies it for any framed knots.
New proof shows most thin knots satisfy Cabling Conjecture.
We review the Burghelea conjecture, which constitutes a full computation of the periodic cyclic homology of complex group rings, and its relation to the algebraic Baum-Connes conjecture. The Burghelea conjecture implies the Bass conjecture. We state two conjectures about groups of finite asymptotic dimension, which tog…

Paper confirms Chen's biharmonic conjecture for hypersurfaces in 5D.
Counterexample disproves recent Penrose conjecture variant.
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.
Proof outlined for 4D smooth Poincaré conjecture.
In order to give a unified generalization of the BW inequality and the DDVV inequality, Lu and Wenzel proposed three Conjectures 1, 2, 3 and an open Question 1 in 2016. In this paper we discuss further these conjectures and put forward several new conjectures which will be shown equivalent to Conjecture 2. In particula…
We prove a discrete Jordan-Brouwer-Schoenflies separation theorem telling that a (d-1)-sphere H embedded in a d-sphere G defines two different connected graphs A,B in G such a way that the intersection of A and B is H and the union is G and such that the complementary graphs A,B are both d-balls. The graph theoretic de…
In this paper, we generalize the Cosmetic Surgery Conjecture to an -cusped hyperbolic -manifold and prove it under the assumption of another well-known conjecture in number theory, so called the Zilber-Pink Conjecture. For and , we show them without the assumption.
Paper connects AJ conjecture and colored Jones polynomial potential function.
Akbulut and Kirby conjectured that two knots with the same -surgery are concordant. In this paper, we prove that if the slice-ribbon conjecture is true, then the modified Akbulut-Kirby's conjecture is false. We also give a fibered potential counterexample to the slice-ribbon conjecture.

Reformulated Markov's conjecture in combinatorial terms.
Paper confirms Whitehead's conjecture for aspherical 2-complexes.
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…
