Establish optimal Lipschitz lower bounds for functions on manifolds with negative curvature, revealing interplay between width, boundary area, and topology.
problem Width estimates and rigidity of manifolds with negative curvature
method Gromov's μ-bubble method
result Sharp lower bound for boundary area in hyperbolic bands
Inspired by Gromov's work on 'Metric inequalities with scalar curvature' we establish band width inequalities for Riemannian bands of the form (V=M×[0,1],g), where Mn−1 is a closed manifold. We introduce a new class of orientable manifolds we call filling enlargeable and prove: If M is filling enlargeable…
Let M be a closed connected spin manifold such that its spinor Dirac operator has non-vanishing (Rosenberg) index. We prove that for any Riemannian metric on V=M×[−1,1] with scalar curvature bounded below by σ>0, the distance between the boundary components of V is at most Cn/σ, where $C_n = \…

Develops a robust hedging valuation adjustment measure for dynamic hedging under liquidity-demand stress.
problem Dynamic hedging under liquidity-demand stress
method Define robust HVA as the worst-case expected loss over a relative-entropy neighborhood of the loss distribution generated by simulated rebalancing and maturity-unwind trades.
result Distinguishes fixed-radius convention from fixed benchmark-stress convention and shows wider no-trade bands lower rebalancing costs but raise hedge-error risk.

result Novel error bounds for univariate neural networks under band-limited input assumption, highlighting the advantage of deterministic uniform sampling.
We prove optimal systolic inequalities on Finsler Mobius bands relating the systole and the height of the Mobius band to its Holmes-Thompson volume. We also establish an optimal systolic in- equality for Finsler Klein bottles of revolution, which we conjecture to hold true for arbitrary Finsler metrics. Extremal metric…
We present various examples of cosmetic bandings on knots and links, that is, bandings on knots and links leaving their types unchanged. As a byproduct, we give a hyperbolic knot which admits exotic chirally cosmetic surgeries yielding hyperbolic manifolds. This gives a counterexample to a conjecture raised by Bleiler,…
It has been conjectured that the geometric invariant of knots in 3-space called the width is nearly additive. That is, letting w(K) in N denote the width of a knot K in S^3, the conjecture is that w(K # K') = w(K) + w(K') - 2. We give an example of a knot K_1 so that for K_2 any 2-bridge knot, it appears that w(K_1 # K…
We prove that knots obtained by attaching a band to a split link satisfy the cabling conjecture. We also give new proofs that unknotting number one knots are prime and that genus is superadditive under band sum. Additionally, we prove a collection of results comparing two 2-handle additions to a genus two boundary comp…
We show that the torus knot T4,9 bounds a smooth Möbius band in the 4-ball, giving a counterexample to Batson's non-orientable analogue of Milnor's conjecture on the smooth slice genera of torus knots.
We study global monotone solutions of the free boundary problem that arises from minimizing the energy functional I(u)=∫∣∇u∣2+V(u), where V(u) is the characteristic function of the interval (−1,1). This functional is a close relative of the scalar Ginzburg-Landau functional $J(u) = \int |\nabla u|^…
In conventional chemisorption model, the d-band center theory (augmented sometimes with the upper edge of d-band for imporved accuarcy) plays a central role in predicting adsorption energies and catalytic activity as a function of d-band center of the solid surfaces, but it requires density functional calculations that…
The trunk of a knot in S3, defined by Makoto Ozawa, is a measure of geometric complexity similar to the bridge number or width of a knot. We prove that for any two knots K1 and K2, we have tr(K1#K2)=max{tr(K1),tr(K2)}, confirming a conjecture of Ozawa. Another conjecture of Ozawa asserts that any…
Attaching a 2-handle to a genus two or greater boundary component of a 3-manifold is a natural generalization of Dehn filling a torus boundary component. We prove that there is an interesting relationship between an essential surface in a sutured 3-manifold, the number of intersections between the boundary of the surfa…
This paper gives mathematical models for flat knotted ribbons, and makes specific conjectures for the least length of ribbon (for a given width) needed to tie the trefoil knot and the figure eight knot. The first conjecture states that (for width one) the least length of ribbon needed to tie an open-ended trefoil knot …
We show that two open books in a given closed, oriented three-manifold admit isotopic stabilizations, where the stabilization is made by successive plumbings with Hopf bands, if and only if their associated plane fields are homologous. Since this condition is automatically fulfilled in an integral homology sphere, the …
In the paper we prove the conjecture by Alexander Zupan that w(K)⩾n2w(J) where w denote the width and K and J are satellite knot and its companion with winding number n. Also we proved that for satellite knot with braid pattern, the equality holds.
