48 results for Schoenflies conjecture

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…

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…

Calegari's 4-spheres from fibered knots are proven standard.

problem Proving Calegari's 4-spheres from fibered knots are standard.
method 5-dimensional handlebody techniques and mapping class groups of 3-dimensional handlebodies.
result All Calegari's homotopy 4-spheres from fibered knots are diffeomorphic to the standard 4-sphere.

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.

problem Approximating weak mean curvature flows with singularities using smooth flows.
method Combining Choi-Haslhofer-Hershkovits and Choi-Haslhofer-Hershkovits-White work on canonical neighbourhoods and barriers to flows with surgery.
result Smooth flows with surgery can approximate weak mean curvature flows with spherical and neck-pinch singularities.

The paper connects diffeomorphism groups and sphere embeddings, proving a group structure.

problem Understanding the homotopy types of diffeomorphism groups and sphere embeddings.
method Cerf's upgraded proof, scanning maps, canceling handles, Embedding Calculus.
result The monoid of Schoenflies spheres forms a group under connect-sum.

This paper describes a method to construct standard 4-balls from homotopy 4-balls in C2\mathbb{C}^2.

problem The problem is whether every homotopy 4-ball in S4S^4 is standard.
method The approach is to use Stein surfaces and pseudoconvex domains to construct a diffeomorphic domain that is the union of three pseudoconvex domains, ensuring it is a standard 4-ball.
result The construction method ensures that the domain is a standard 4-ball, providing a compelling reimbedding construction for homotopy 4-balls in C2\mathbb{C}^2.

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…

Low-entropy surfaces can be flowed into spheres and cylinders.

problem Proving mean curvature flow for low-entropy hypersurfaces.
method Low-entropy density drop argument and recent work on hypersurfaces.
result Closed hypersurfaces with entropy ≤ 2 can be flowed into spherical and cylindrical shapes.

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…

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.

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…

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…

The graph theoretic de…

A number of open problems and conjectures are presented during the course of the discussion. We also review the status and app…
