The paper studies associative Smith maps and proves their properties, including regularity and energy gap.
The Hilbert-Smith Conjecture states that if G is a locally compact group which acts effectively on a connected manifold as a topological transformation group, then G is a Lie group. A rather straightforward proof of this conjecture is given. The motivation is work of Cernavskii (``Finite-to-one mappings of manifolds'',…

The Kalinin effectivity is studied and applied to compactifications and Hilbert squares.
In this paper we discuss topological properties of holomorphic Lefschetz pencils on the four-torus. Relying on the theory of moduli spaces of polarized abelian surfaces, we first prove that, under some mild assumption, the (smooth) isomorphism class of a holomorphic Lefschetz pencil on the four-torus is uniquely determ…

New Smith-Gysin sequence for non-semi-free actions without semi-free condition.
A (meromorphic) quadratic differential is a (meromorphic) section of the tensor square of the canonical bundle of a Riemann surface. They arose in the study of quasiconformal mappings in the works of Oswald Teichmüller, and have played a mayor role in the study of the Riemann moduli, where they can be identified with c…
In this paper we survey with complete proofs some well--known, but hard to find, results about constructing closed embedded minimal surfaces in a closed 3-dimensional manifold via min--max arguments. This includes results of J. Pitts, F. Smith, and L. Simon and F. Smith.
The objective of the present paper is to analyse various features of the Smith-Wilson method used for discounting under the EU regulation Solvency II, with special attention to hedging. In particular, we show that all key rate duration hedges of liabilities beyond the Last Liquid Point will be peculiar. Moreover, we sh…
We prove that the space of smooth Riemannian metrics on the three-ball with non-negative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary is path connected; and, moreover, that the associated moduli space (i.e., modulo orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of the three-ball) is contractible. As an application, using resul…
The identity map of certain Einstein manifolds is stable in both energy and bienergy.
Applying standard techniques from Toeplitz operator theory, we analyze the asymptotics of the Hilbert-Smith norms of the TQFT operators coming from isotopy classes of one dimensional oriented submanifolds on a closed oriented surface. We thereby obtain a Toeplitz operator interpretation and generalization of the asympt…
The paper characterizes arithmetic metrics in coarsely geometric settings.
We define a generalization of the fixed point set, called the bounded fixed set, for a group acting by isometries on a metric space. An analogue of the P. A. Smith theorem is proved for metric spaces of finite asymptotic dimension, which relates the coarse homology of the bounded fixed set to the coarse homology of the…

The paper explores the dynamics of composite symplectic Dehn twists with nonuniform hyperbolicity.
Seidel-Smith and Hendricks used equivariant Floer cohomology to define some spectral sequences from symplectic Khovanov homology and Heegaard Floer homology. These spectral sequences give rise to Smith-type inequalities. Similar-looking spectral sequences have been defined by Lee, Bar-Natan, Ozsváth-Szabó, Lipshitz-Tre…
Real Seiberg-Witten and monopole Floer homologies are equivalent for certain 3-manifolds.
We explain how to compute the Jones polynomial of a link from one of its grid diagrams and we observe a connection between Bigelow's homological definition of the Jones polynomial and Kauffman's definition of the Jones polynomial. Consequently, we prove that the Maslov grading on the Seidel-Smith symplectic link invari…
We construct embeddings for each of the classical Lie algebras $\ger{sp}_{2m}(\Cc)$, $\ger{so}_{2m}(\Cc)$, and $\ger{so}_{2m+1}(\Cc)$. The space is the fiber over a point $τ\in \ger h / W$ of the restriction of the adjoint quotient map $χ: \ger g \to \ger h /W$…
Four minimal spheres found in sphere with special metric.
In this paper, we prove the existence of certain symplectic conifold transitions on all -bundles over symplectic 4--manifolds, which generalizes Smith, Thomas and Yau's examples of symplectic conifold transitions on trivial -bundles over Kähler surfaces. Our main result is to determine the diffeomorphis…

Seidel and Smith have constructed an invariant of links as the Floer cohomology for two Lagrangians inside a complex affine variety Y. This variety is the intersection of a semisimple orbit with a transverse slice at a nilpotent in the Lie algebra We exhibit bijections between a set of generators for the Sei…
Differentiable spaces derived from Lie group actions have vector fields and forms.
Seidel and Smith introduced the graded fixed-point symplectic Khovanov cohomology group Kh_{symp,inv}(K) for a knot K inside S^{3}, as well as a spectral sequence converging to the Heegaard Floer homology-hat group for the connected sum of the double branched cover with a copy of S^{2}xS^{1}. The E^{1}-page of this spe…
A group action on a moduli space is shown to be faithful.
We briefly survey the Hilbert--Smith Conjecture, and we include a proof of it in dimension two (where it is originally due to Montgomery--Zippin).
We prove optimal genus bounds for minimal surfaces arising from the min-max construction of Simon-Smith. This confirms a conjecture made by Pitts-Rubinstein in 1986.
We provide a novel proof that the set of directions that admit a saddle connection on a meromorphic quadratic differential with at least one pole of order at least two is closed, which generalizes a result of Bridgeland and Smith, and Gaiotto, Moore, and Neitzke. Secondly, we show that this set has finite Cantor-Bendix…

Study of decorated surfaces with vortices and their group structures.
We show that there exists a non-trivial simplified broken Lefschetz fibration which has infinitely many homotopy classes of sections. We also construct a non-trivial simplified broken Lefschetz fibration which has a section with non-negative square. It is known that no Lefschetz fibration satisfies either of the above …
