48 results for Schoenflies theorem

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 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.

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…

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 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 …

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.

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.

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.

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…

The paper explains the topological origin of the distinction between incidence theorems over division rings and fields.

problem Understanding the distinction between incidence theorems over division rings and fields.
method Extending the surface-graph approach to noncommutative settings, the paper analyzes the topological properties of graphs embedded on surfaces of different genera.
result Theorems associated with graphs on the sphere hold over any division ring, while those on surfaces of positive genus typically hold only if the ground ring is a field.
