The study classifies surfaces with constant slope in 4D space.

A spacelike surface in the Minkowski 3-space is called a constant slope surface if its position vector makes a constant angle with the normal at each point on the surface. These surfaces completely classified in [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 385 (1) (2012) 208-220]. In this study, we give some relations between split quaternio…

In this paper, we find all constant slope surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space, namely those surfaces for which the position vector of a point of the surface makes constant angle with the normal at the surface in that point. These surfaces could be thought as the bi-dimensional analogue of the generalized helices. Some pi…

The paper studies properties of intrinsically Lipschitz constants in metric spaces.

We prove that polarised manifolds that admit a constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metric satisfy a condition we call slope semistability. That is, we define the slope $μ$ for a projective manifold and for each of its subschemes, and show that if $X$ is cscK then $μ(Z)\leμ(X)$ for all subschemes $Z$. This gives man…

Solves open problems for fully nonlinear elliptic equations on manifolds.

Solves a long-standing problem in Kähler geometry.

We introduce a cohomological obstruction to solving the constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) equation twisted by a semipositive form, appearing in works of Fine and Song-Tian. Geometrically this gives an obstruction for a manifold to be the base of a holomorphic submersion carrying a cscK metric in certain ``adiabat…

The paper shows how curves converge to a grim reaper with unbounded slopes.

Being inspired by Ross' construction of unstable products of certain smooth curves, we show that the product $C\times C$ of every smooth curve $C$ of genus at least 2 is not slope semistable with respect to certain polarisations. Besides, we produce examples of Kodaira-fibred surfaces of nonzero signature, which are no…

Let $F$ be a proper essential immersed surface in a hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with boundary disjoint from a torus boundary component $T$ of $M$. Let $α$ be the set of coannular slopes of $F$ on $T$. The main theorem of the paper shows that there is a constant $K$ and a finite set of slopes $Λ$ on $T$, such that if $β$ …

The growth rate of real GDP per capita in the biggest OECD countries is represented as a sum of two components - a steadily decreasing trend and fluctuations related to the change in some specific age population. The long term trend in the growth rate is modelled by an inverse function of real GDP per capita with a con…

Defining Lorentzian Sabban frame of the unit speed time-like curves on de Sitter 2-space $\mathbb{S}^{2}_{1}$ and introducing space-like height function on the unit speed time-like curves on $\mathbb{S}^{2}_{1}$, the invariants of the unit speed time-like curves on $\mathbb{S}^{2}_{1}$ and geometric properties of de Si…

Consider the 1-dimensional Hurwitz space parameterizing covers of P^1 branched at four points. We study its intersection with divisor classes on the moduli space of curves. As an application, we calculate the slope of the Teichmuller curve parameterizing square-tiled cyclic covers and recover the sum of its Lyapunov ex…

New invariant measures knot geometry, improving volume-volume inequality.

In the present paper, we define the notions of Lorentzian Sabban frames and de Sitter evolutes of the unit speed space-like curves on de Sitter 2-space $\mathbb{S}^{2}_{1}$. In addition, we investigate the invariants and geometric properties of these curves. Afterwards, we show that space-like Bertrand curves and time-…

We give examples of smooth surfaces with negative first Chern class which are slope unstable with respect to certain polarisations, and so have Kahler classes that do not admit any constant scalar curvature Kahler metrics. We also compare this to the work of Song-Weinkove on the J-flow.

The envelope of straight lines affine normal to a plane curve C is its affine evolute; the envelope of the affine lines tangent to C is the original curve, together with the entire affine tangent line at each inflexion of C. In this paper, we consider plane curves without inflexions. We use some techniques of singulari…

The study confirms a conjecture for a specific type of knot.

The slope conjecture proposed by Garoufalidis asserts that the Jones slopes given by the sequence of degrees of the colored Jones polynomials are boundary slopes. We verify the slope conjecture for graph knots, i.e. knots whose Gromov volume vanish.

Study slopes in 3-manifolds, proving conjectures about knots.

Using the Hatcher-Oertel algorithm for finding boundary slopes of Montesinos knots, we prove the Slope Conjecture and the Strong Slope Conjecture for a family of 3-tangle pretzel knots. More precisely, we prove that the maximal degrees of the colored Jones polynomial of such knots determine a boundary slope as predicte…

The Strong Slope Conjecture is proven for specific knot types.

Concerning the set of exceptional surgery slopes for a hyperbolic knot, Lackenby and Meyerhoff proved that the maximal cardinality is 10 and the maximal diameter is 8. Their proof is computer-aided in part, and both bounds are achieved simultaneously. In this note, it is observed that the diameter bound 8 implies the m…

New research shows that many slopes are characterizing for satellite knots.

A non-trivial slope $r$ on a knot $K$ in $S^3$ is called a characterizing slope if whenever the result of $r$-surgery on a knot $K'$ is orientation preservingly homeomorphic to the result of $r$-surgery on $K$, then $K'$ is isotopic to $K$. Ni and Zhang ask: for any hyperbolic knot $K$, is a slope $r = p/q$ with $|p| +…

Let X be a norm curve in the SL(2,C)-character variety of a knot exterior M. Let t = || b || / || a || be the ratio of the Culler-Shalen norms of two distinct non-zero classes a, b in H_1(\partial M, Z). We demonstrate that either X has exactly two associated strict boundary slopes \pm t, or else there are strict bound…
