Extended Tetrahedral Property to non-Euclidean spaces.

We present the Tetrahedral Compactness Theorem which states that sequences of Riemannian manifolds with a uniform upper bound on volume and diameter that satisfy a uniform tetrahedral property have a subsequence which converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to a countably $\mathcal{H}^m$ rectifiable metric space of the…

Here we explore a variety of properties of intrinsic flat convergence. We introduce the sliced filling volume and interval sliced filling volume and explore the relationship between these notions, the tetrahedral property and the disappearance of points under intrinsic flat convergence. We prove two new Gromov-Hausdorf…

We call a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold tetrahedral if it can be decomposed into regular ideal tetrahedra. Following an earlier publication by three of the authors, we give a census of all tetrahedral manifolds and all of their combinatorial tetrahedral tessellations with at most 25 (orientable case) and 21 (non-orienta…

This paper explores a particular statistical model on 6-valent graphs with special properties which turns out to be invariant with respect to certain Roseman moves if the graph is the singular point graph of a diagram of a 2-knot. The approach uses the technic of the tetrahedral complex cohomology. We emphasize that th…

We study SU(2) BPS monopoles with spectral curves of the form $η^3+χ(ζ^6+b ζ^3-1)=0$. Previous work has has established a countable family of solutions to Hitchin's constraint that $L^2$ was trivial on such a curve. Here we establish that the only curves of this family that yield BPS monopoles correspond to tetrahedral…

Researchers create topologically protected knots in a realizable system.

The tetrahedral index connects to a q-Bessel function, revealing new mathematical techniques.

We consider polyhedra and 4-polytopes in Minkowski spacetime - in particular, null polyhedra with zero volume, and 4-polytopes that have such polyhedra as their hyperfaces. We present the basic properties of several classes of null-faced 4-polytopes: 4-simplices, "tetrahedral diamonds" and 4-parallelotopes. We propose …

Proof confirms volume conjecture for a specific knot.

Study on hidden symmetries in Dehn fillings of tetrahedral links.

In this paper we provide the first examples of non-flat soap films proven to span tetrahedra. These are members of a continuous two parameter family of soap films with tetrahedral boundaries. Of particular interest is a two parameter subfamily where each spanning soap film has the property that two minimal surfaces mee…

The paper calculates Veech groups for triangulable structures on the sphere.

We prove that the Kontsevich tetrahedral flow $\dot{\mathcal{P}} = \mathcal{Q}_{a:b} (\mathcal{P})$, the right-hand side of which is a linear combination of two differential monomials of degree four in a bi-vector $\mathcal{P}$ on an affine real Poisson manifold $N^n$, does infinitesimally preserve the space of Poisson…

Prove realizability of genus-0 branch data for tetrahedral coverings of the sphere.

We prove that the least-perimeter partition of the sphere into four regions of equal area is a tetrahedral partition.

A simpler edge-based discretization method without dual volumes.

It is known that every ribbon category with unimodality allows symmetrized $6j$-symbols with full tetrahedral symmetries while a spherical category does not in general. We give an explicit counterexample for this, namely the category $\mathcal{E}$. We define the mirror conjugate symmetry of $6j$-symbols instead and sho…

Roseman moves are seven types of local modification for surface-link diagrams in $3$-space which generate ambient isotopies of surface-links in $4$-space. In this paper, we focus on Roseman moves involving triple points, one of which is the famous tetrahedral move, and discuss their independence. For each diagram of an…

From the paper "Formality Conjecture" (Ascona 1996): "I am aware of only one such a class, it corresponds to simplest good graph, the complete graph with $4$ vertices $($and $6$ edges$)$. This class gives a remarkable vector field on the space of bi-vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The evolution with respect to the t…

Explicit solutions to the Riemann-Hilbert problem will be found realising some irreducible non-rigid local systems. The relation to isomonodromy and the sixth Painleve equation will be described. Keywords: Riemann-Hilbert problem, Painleve equations, algebraic solutions, Heun equations, tetrahedral/octahedral group, tr…

Graph morphism maps Poisson cocycles to symmetries, revealing factorization through Jacobi identity.

Finite specializations of a q-deformed modular group at roots of unity.

If a hyperbolic 3-manifold M admits a reducible and a finite Dehn filling, the distance between the filling slopes is known to be 1. This has been proved recently by Boyer, Gordon and Zhang. The first example of a manifold with two such fillings was given by Boyer and Zhang. In this paper, we give examples of hyperboli…

Higher nilpotent analogues of the $A-\infty$-structure are explicitly defined on arbitrary simplicial complexes, generalizing explicit construction of /hep-th/0704.2609. These structures are associated with the higher nilpotent differential $d_n$, satisfying $d_n^n =0$, which is naturally defined on triangulated manifo…

Computations based on explicit 4-periodic resolutions are given for the cohomology of the finite groups G known to act freely on S^3, as well as the cohomology rings of the associated 3-manifolds (spherical space forms) M = S^3/G. Chain approximations to the diagonal are constructed, and explicit contracting homotopies…

Observational data hints at a finite universe, with spherical manifolds such as the Poincare dodecahedral space tentatively providing the best fit. Simulating the physics of a model universe requires knowing the eigenmodes of the Laplace operator on the space. The present article provides explicit polynomial eigenmodes…

New proof shows not all Salem numbers are growth rates of Coxeter groups.

New groups found in hyperbolic 4D and 5D space have minimal growth rate.

Study of knots sharing 0-surgeries, classifying and computing their properties.

The Ray-Singer isospectral theorem (1971) is applied to a general spectral function for Laplacians of twisted p-forms (say) on homogeneous Clifford-Klein factors of the three-sphere. The inducing formulae necessary to express any spectral quantity for any twisting in terms of those for cyclic subgroups of the tetrahedr…

We discuss the explicit formulation of the transcendental constraints defining spectral curves of SU(2) BPS monopoles in the twistor approach of Hitchin, following Ercolani and Sinha. We obtain an improved version of the Ercolani-Sinha constraints, and show that the Corrigan-Goddard conditions for constructing monopole…

We introduce systems of objects and operators in linear monoidal categories called $\hat Ψ$-systems. A $\hat Ψ$-system satisfying several additional assumptions gives rise to a topological invariant of triples (a closed oriented 3-manifold $M$, a principal bundle over $M$, a link in $M$). This construction generalizes …

Researchers prove a conjecture about a specific type of 3D space.

We classify the normal subgroups K of the tetrahedral group Delta=[3,5,3]^+, the even subgroup of the Coxeter group Gamma=[3,5,3], with Delta/K isomorphic to a finite simple group L_2(q). We determine their normalisers N(K) in the isometry group of hyperbolic 3-space H^3, the isometry groups N(K)/K of the associated hy…

New minimal surfaces found via covering spaces for complex boundaries.

Minimal non-arithmetic hyperbolic 3-orbifold found with least volume.

Researchers prove Seifert-Weber dodecahedral space is an L-space.

We classify the 3-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedral orbifolds that contain no embedded essential 2-suborbifolds, up to decomposition along embedded hyperbolic triangle orbifolds (turnovers). We give a necessary condition for a 3-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedral orbifold to contain an immersed (singular) hyperbolic tur…

The graph complexity of a compact 3-manifold is defined as the minimum order among all 4-colored graphs representing it. Exact calculations of graph complexity have been already performed, through tabulations, for closed orientable manifolds (up to graph complexity 32) and for compact orientable 3-manifolds with toric …

A number of results for C$^2$-smooth surfaces of constant width in Euclidean 3-space ${\mathbb{E}}^3$ are obtained. In particular, an integral inequality for constant width surfaces is established. This is used to prove that the ratio of volume to cubed width of a constant width surface is reduced by shrinking it along…

Smooth and symplectic symmetries of an infinite family of distinct exotic $K3$ surfaces are studied, and comparison with the corresponding symmetries of the standard $K3$ is made. The action on the $K3$ lattice induced by a smooth finite group action is shown to be strongly restricted, and as a result, nonsmoothability…

We provide a detailed proof of the following folklore theorem: Let mu > 0 be a Margulis constant for 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. Then for any d>0 there exists a constant K>0, depending on mu and d, so that for any complete finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M, the d-neighborhood of the mu-thick part of M can be tr…

New normalizing flows model molecular crystal structures.

We compute the spectral action of $SU(2)/Γ$ with the trivial spin structure and the round metric and find it in each case to be equal to $\frac{1}{|Γ|} (Λ^3 \hat{f}^{(2)}(0) - 1/4Λ\hat{f}(0))+ O(Λ^{-\infty})$. We do this by explicitly computing the spectrum of the Dirac operator for $SU(2)/Γ$ equipped with the trivial …

We discuss $SU(2)$ Bogomolny monopoles of arbitrary charge $k$ invariant under various symmetry groups. The analysis is largely in terms of the spectral curves, the rational maps, and the Nahm equations associated with monopoles. We consider monopoles invariant under inversion in a plane, monopoles with cyclic symmetry…

The paper uses permutation representations to visualize group extensions and subgroups.

In the paper "Formality conjecture" (1996) Kontsevich designed a universal flow $\dot{\mathcal{P}}=\mathcal{Q}_{a:b}(\mathcal{P})=aΓ_{1}+bΓ_{2}$ on the spaces of Poisson structures $\mathcal{P}$ on all affine manifolds of dimension $n \geqslant 2$. We prove a claim from $\textit{loc. cit.}$ stating that if $n=2$, the f…
