Quadratic bounds found for graph dimensions.

Generates special homeomorphisms for complex surfaces.

Researchers describe the Gromov boundary of a graph related to surfaces.

We describe unicorn paths in the arc graph and show that they form 1-slim triangles and are invariant under taking subpaths. We deduce that all arc graphs are 7-hyperbolic. Considering the same paths in the arc and curve graph, this also shows that all curve graphs are 17-hyperbolic, including closed surfaces.

Defined a new graph type for compact surfaces, proving its connectedness and infinite diameter.

New simplicial complex for infinite-type surfaces shows graph properties.

New proof for knot state-sum formula using bijection between states.

The grand arc graph's asymptotic dimension is shown to be infinite.

Shifts are not type-preserving on surface graphs.

Using existing technology, we prove a Masur-Minsky style distance formula for flip- graph distance between two triangulations, expressed as a sum of the distances of the projections of these triangulations into arc graphs of the suitable subsurfaces of S.

Let S be a compact surface, and M be the double of a handlebody. Given a homotopy class of maps from S to M inducing an isomorphism of fundamental groups, we describe a canonical uniformly lipschitz retraction of the sphere graph of M to the arc graph of S. We also show that this retraction is a uniformly bounded dista…

Study arcs on surfaces, focusing on topological aspects and group actions.

We show that the extended based mapping class group of an infinite-type surface is naturally isomorphic to the automorphism group of the loop graph of that surface. Additionally, we show that the extended mapping class group stabilizing a finite set of punctures is isomorphic to the arc graph relative to that finite se…

We study arc graphs and curve graphs for surfaces of infinite topological type. First, we define an arc graph relative to a finite number of (isolated) punctures and prove that it is a connected, uniformly hyperbolic graph of infinite diameter; this extends a recent result of J. Bavard to a large class of punctured sur…

New infinite-type loxodromic elements found in surface mapping classes.

To every half-translation surface, we associate a saddle connection graph, which is a subgraph of the arc graph. We prove that every isomorphism between two saddle connection graphs is induced by an affine homeomorphism between the underlying half-translation surfaces. We also investigate the automorphism group of the …

We show that the arc graph of $S_g^1$ is a coarse Lipschitz retract of the free splitting complex of $F_{2g}$. We also show that the arc and curve graph of $S_g^1$ is a coarse Lipschitz retract of both the cyclic splitting graph of $F_{2g}$ and the maximally cyclic splitting graph of $F_{2g}$.

We extend the notion of unicorn paths between two arcs introduced by Hensel, Przytycki and Webb to the case where we replace one arc with a geodesic asymptotic to a lamination. Using these paths, we give new proofs of the results of Klarreich and Schleimer identifying the Gromov boundaries of the curve graph and the ar…

Hensel-Przytycki-Webb proved that all curve graphs of orientable surfaces are 17-hyperbolic. In this paper, we show that curve graphs of non-orientable surfaces are 17-hyperbolic by applying Hensel-Przytycki-Webb's argument. We also show that arc graphs of non-orientable surfaces are 7-hyperbolic, and arc-curve graphs …

The goal of this mostly expository paper is to present several candidates for hyperbolic structures on irreducible Artin-Tits groups of spherical type and to elucidate some relations between them. Most constructions are algebraic analogues of previously known hyperbolic structures on Artin braid groups coming from natu…

In this paper, we investigate a family of graphs associated to collections of arcs on surfaces. These {\it multiarc graphs} naturally interpolate between arc graphs and flip graphs, both well studied objects in low dimensional geometry and topology. We show a number of rigidity results, namely showing that, under certa…

We consider several natural sets of curves associated to a given Teichmüller disc, such as the systole set or cylinder set, and study their coarse geometry inside the curve graph. We prove that these sets are quasiconvex and agree up to uniformly bounded Hausdorff distance. Furthermore, we describe two operations on cu…

Study shows saddle connection graph's geometry and quasi-isometry properties.

Study proves hyperfiniteness of mapping class group actions on surface graphs.

We study the chromatic number of the curve graph of a surface. We show that the chromatic number grows like k log k for the graph of separating curves on a surface of Euler characteristic -k. We also show that the graph of curves that represent a fixed non-zero homology class is uniquely t-colorable, where t denotes it…
