Curve shortening flow increases annulus modulus.

Study on spectral stability of an embedded annulus under curve shortening and Ricci flows.

Assume that $(\mathcal{N},\hbar)$ and $(\mathcal{M},\wp)$ are two Riemann surfaces with conformal metrics $\hbar$ and $\wp$. We prove that if there is a harmonic homeomorphism between an annulus $\mathcal{A}\subset \mathcal{N}$ with a conformal modulus $\mathrm{Mod}(\mathcal{A})$ and a geodesic annulus $A_\wp(p,ρ_1,ρ_2…

Let a $A$ be the 1-skeleton of a triangulated topological annulus. We establish bounds on the combinatorial modulus of a refinement $A'$, formed by attaching new vertices and edges to $A$, that depend only on the refinement and not on the structure of $A$ itself. This immediately applies to showing that a disk triangul…

Study of transitivity in partially hyperbolic maps with expanding linear part.

Let $A \subset \mathbb{R} ^2$ be a smooth doubly connected domain. We consider the Dirichlet energy $E(u)=\int_{A} |\nabla u|^2$, where $u:A \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$, and look for critical points of this energy with prescribed modulus $|u|=1$ on $\partial A$ and with prescribed degrees on the two connected components o…

The JSJ decomposition helps classify genus two handlebody-knots.

Defines annulus complex of handlebodies and proves its connectivity.

We define an operation on homology ${B}^4$ which we call an $n$-twist annulus modification. We give a new construction of smoothly slice knots and exotically slice knots via $n$-twist annulus modifications. As an application, we present a new example of a smoothly slice knot with non-slice derivatives. Such examples we…

New homology for links in annulus discovered.

The $p$--modulus ${\rm mod}_p(\mathcal{F})$ of a foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on a Riemannian manifold $M$ is a generalization of extremal length of plane curves introduced by L. Ahlfors. We study the variation $t\mapsto{\rm mod}_p(\mathcal{F}_t)$ of the modulus. In particular, we consider product of moduli of orthogonal fo…

We continue the study of the variation of the $p$--modulus of a foliation initiated by the first author. We derive the formula for the second variation which allows to study $p$--stable foliations. We obtain some results concerning codimension one $p$--stable foliations. Moreover, we derive the equation for the critica…

Proves a theorem in sub-Riemannian geometry using Carnot groups.

An area-preserving diffeomorphism of an annulus has an "action function" which measures how the diffeomorphism distorts curves. The average value of the action function over the annulus is known as the Calabi invariant of the diffeomorphism, while the average value of the action function over a periodic orbit of the di…

Study on a metric for disk automorphisms with maximal modulus.

Defines a new modulus for Lipschitz surfaces and proves a homological duality theorem.

For any link and for any modulus $m$ we introduce an equivalence relation on the set of non-trivial m-colorings of the link (an m-coloring has values in Z/mZ). Given a diagram of the link, the equivalence class of a non-trivial m-coloring is formed by each assignment of colors to the arcs of the diagram that is obtaine…

Origami creates flat torus models of any size.

Unified approach for sample aggregation in transfer learning across various divergence measures.

We present an extension of Dunwoody's theory of tracks and use it to prove an analogue of the annulus theorem for hyperbolic groups.

We discuss the maximum modulus principle, and weak unique continuation, for CR functions on an abstract almost CR manifold M. We investigate these matters under the assumption of weak pseudoconcavity, and obtain sharp results about propagation along Sussmann leaves.

Paper introduces an invariant to distinguish handlebody-knot exteriors.

Given two Jordan curves in a Riemannian manifold, a minimal surface of annulus type bounded by these curves is described as the harmonic extension of a critical point of some functional (the Dirichlet integral) in a certain space of boundary parametrizations. The $H^{2,2}$-regularity of the minimal surface of annulus t…

We study combinatorial modulus on boundaries of hyperbolic Coxeter groups. We give new examples of hyperbolic groups whose boundary satisfies a combinatorial version of the Loewner property, and prove Cannon's conjecture for Coxeter groups. We also establish some connections with l^p cohomology.

Study confirms infinitely many non-characterizing slopes for various knots.

In this note we investigate free boundary minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space, and by using holomorphic techniques developed by Fraser and Schoen we prove that the free boundary minimal annulus is the critical catenoid.

We show that a compact embedded minimal or constant mean curvature annulus with non-vanishing Gaussian curvature which is tangent to two spheres of same radius or tangent to a sphere and meeting a plane in constant contact angle is rotational.

The paper extends knotoid theory to annular and toroidal settings.

Unstable minimal surfaces are the unstable stationary points of the Dirichlet-Integral. In order to obtain unstable solutions, the method of the gradient flow together with the minimax-principle is generally used. The application of this method for minimal surfaces in the Euclidean spacce was presented in \cite{s3}. We…

A carpet is a metric space homeomorphic to the Sierpinski carpet. We characterize, within a certain class of examples, non-self-similar carpets supporting curve families of nontrivial modulus and supporting Poincaré inequalities. Our results yield new examples of compact doubling metric measure spaces supporting Poinca…

Study on existence and properties of continuous solutions to complex Hessian equations.

We give a new construction of slice knots via annulus twists. The simplest slice knots obtained by our method are those constructed by Omae. In this paper, we introduce a sufficient condition for given slice knots to be ribbon, and prove that all Omae's knots are ribbon.

We describe the space of arrow diagram formulas for virtual knot diagrams in the annulus as the kernel of a linear map, inspired from a conjecture due to M. Polyak. As a main application, we slightly improve Grishanov-Vassiliev's theorem for planar chain invariants.

This article concerns exact results on the minimum number of colors of a Fox coloring over the integers modulo r, of a link with non-null determinant. Specifically, we prove that whenever the least prime divisor of the determinant of such a link and the modulus r is 2, 3, 5, or 7, then the minimum number of colors is 2…

New bounds on the wildness of Bing's involution.

We find a self-linking number formula for a given null-homologous transverse link in a contact manifold that is compatible with either an annulus or a pair of pants open book decomposition. It extends Bennequin's self-linking formula for a braid in the standard contact $3$-sphere.

We derive sharp estimates on modulus of continuity for solutions of the heat equation on a compact Riemannian manifold with a Ricci curvature bound, in terms of initial oscillation and elapsed time. As an application, we give an easy proof of the optimal lower bound on the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on such a ma…

Cannon, Floyd and Parry have studied the modulus of finite subdivision rules extensively. We investigate the properties of the modulus of subdivision rules with linear and exponential growth at every vertex, using barycentric subdivision and a subdivision rule for the Borromean rings as examples. We show that the subdi…

Proves conditions for Fourier transforms in rank 1 symmetric spaces.

We investigate the properties of a modulus of a foliation on a Riemannian manifold. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an extremal function and state some of its properties. We obtain the integral formula which, in a sense, combines the integral over the manifold with integral over the lea…
