A Heegaard splitting of a closed, orientable three-manifold satisfies the disjoint curve property if the splitting surface contains an essential simple closed curve and each handlebody contains an essential disk disjoint from this curve [Thompson, 1999]. A splitting is full if it does not have the disjoint curve proper…

A new method for fair PCA ensures balanced error across groups.

We study intrinsically linked graphs where we require that every embedding of the graph contains not just a non-split link, but a link that satisfies some additional property. Examples of properties we address in this paper are: a two component link with lk(A,L) = k2^r, k not 0, a non-split n-component link where all l…

The paper studies groups with specific actions on hyperbolic spaces and finds that subgroups are either amenable or contain a free group.

If there are any 2-component counterexamples to the Generalized Property R Conjecture, a least genus component of all such counterexamples cannot be a fibered knot. Furthermore, the monodromy of a fibered component of any such counterexample has unexpected restrictions. The simplest plausible counterexample to the Gene…

An additional minimal simplicial n-complex contains a non-splittable link in R^(2n).

The trace set of a Fuchsian group $Γ$ ist the set of length of closed geodesics in the surface $Γ\backslash \mathbb{H}$. Luo and Sarnak showed that the trace set of a cofinite arithmetic Fuchsian group satisfies the bounded clustering property. Sarnak then conjectured that the B-C property actually characterizes arithm…

We consider the following properties of compact oriented irreducible graph-manifolds: to contain a $π_1$-injective surface (immersed, virtually embedded or embedded), be (virtually) fibered over $S^1$, and to carry a metric of nonpositive sectional curvature. It turns out that all these properties can be described from…

This paper concerns complete noncompact manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Roughly, we say that M has the loops to infinity property if given any noncontractible closed curve, C, and given any compact set, K, there exists a closed curve contained in M\K which is homotopic to C. The main theorems in this paper …

In this paper we prove some spectral properties of the drifted Laplacian of self-shrinkers properly immersed in gradient shrinking Ricci solitons. Then we use these results to prove some geometric properties of self-shrinkers. For example, we describe a collection of domains in the ambient space that cannot contain sel…

The study bounds and characterizes surfaces containing smooth conics and twistor fibers in a flag threefold.

It is known since 40 years old paper by M. Keane that minimality is a generic (i.e. holding with probability one) property of an irreducible interval exchange transformation. If one puts some integral linear restrictions on the parameters of the interval exchange transformation, then minimality may become an "exotic" p…

This is an expository paper, which provides a first introduction to geometric structures on $TM\oplus T^*M$. The paper contains definitions and characteristic properties of generalized complex, generalized Kaehler, generalized (normal, almost) contact and generalized Sasakian structures. A few of these properties are n…

Nonpositive towers property in 3-manifolds spines.

A wealth-process set is abstractly defined to consist of nonnegative càdlàg processes containing a strictly positive semimartingale and satisfying an intuitive re-balancing property. Under the condition of absence of arbitrage of the first kind, it is established that all wealth processes are semimartingales and that t…

We show that any self-complementary graph with $n$ vertices contains a $K_{\lfloor \frac{n+1}{2}\rfloor}$ minor. We derive topological properties of self-complementary graphs.

The firefighter game problem on locally finite connected graphs was introduced by Bert Hartnell. The game on a graph $G$ can be described as follows: let $f_n$ be a sequence of positive integers; an initial fire starts at a finite set of vertices; at each (integer) time $n\geq 1$, $f_n$ vertices which are not on fire b…

This paper studies properties of weak reducing pairs in critical Heegaard splittings.

We present infinitely many homology spheres which contain two distinct knots whose 0-surgeries are $S^1 \times S^2$. This resolves a question posed by Kirby and Melvin in 1978.

The paper explores subspaces in hyperbolic lattices and their arithmetic properties.

Every infinitely edge-connected graph has a minor of Farey graph or $T_{\aleph_0}\ast t$.

We consider linear groups which do not contain unipotent elements of infinite order, which includes all linear groups in positive characteristic, and show that this class of groups has good properties which resemble those held by groups of non positive curvature and which do not hold for arbitrary characteristic zero l…

Persistent elements are ubiquitous in knot groups, especially for hyperbolic knots.

New hyperbolic groups found with specific subgroup properties.

This is a survey article on symplectically aspherical manifolds. The paper contains a discussion on constructions of symplectically aspherical manifolds, their topological properties and the role of this class in symplectic topology. Research perspectives are discussed.

The complement of a non-separating planar graph contains a K_n minor.

A Heegaard diagram for a 3-manifold is regarded as a pair of simplexes in the complex of curves on a surface and a Heegaard splitting as a pair of subcomplexes generated by the equivalent diagrams. We relate geometric and combinatorial properties of these subcomplexes with topological properties of the manifold and/or …

We consider the question of which right-angled Artin groups contain closed hyperbolic surface subgroups. It is known that a right-angled Artin group $A(K)$ has such a subgroup if its defining graph $K$ contains an $n$-hole (i.e. an induced cycle of length $n$) with $n\geq 5$. We construct another eight "forbidden" grap…

Differential calculus on metric spaces is contained in the algebraic study of normed groupoids with $δ$-structures. Algebraic study of normed groups endowed with dilatation structures is contained in the differential calculus on metric spaces. Thus all algebraic properties of the small world of normed groups with dilat…

The paper classifies groups containing incommensurable lattices in Baumslag-Solitar complexes.

A zigzag in a map (a $2$-cell embedding of a connected graph in a connected closed $2$-dimensional surface) is a cyclic sequence of edges satisfying the following conditions: 1) any two consecutive edges lie on the same face and have a common vertex, 2) for any three consecutive edges the first and the third edges are …

Higher-dimensional Schwarzschild spacetimes violate the Penrose property.

We establish parabolicity and quadratic area growth for minimal surfaces-with-boundary contained in regions of R^3 which are within a sub-logarithmic factor of the exterior of a cone. Unlike previous work showing that these two properties hold for minimal surfaces-with-boundary contained between two catenoids, we do no…

The paper shows nearly-Fuchsian properties for certain hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

We investigate properties of spatial graphs on the standard torus. It is known that nontrivial embeddings of planar graphs in the torus contain a nontrivial knot or a nonsplit link due to [1],[2]. Building on this and using the chirality of torus knots and links [3],[4], we prove that nontrivial embeddings of simple 3-…

In \cite{CM5}, Colding and Minicozzi describe a type of compactness property possessed by sequences of embedded minimal surfaces in $\Real^3$ with finite genus and with boundaries going to $\infty$. They show that any such sequence either contains a sub-sequence with uniformly bounded curvature or the sub-sequence has …

Paper proves rigidity of manifolds with specific curvature and submanifold properties.

The study explores mapping degree sets and their properties for manifolds.

We show that a subspace $S$ of the space of real analytical functions on a manifold that satisfies certain regularity properties is contained in the set of solutions of a linear elliptic differential equation. The regularity properties are that $S$ is closed in $L^2(M)$ and that if a sequence of functions $f_n$ in $S$ …

Generalised Bayesian learning algorithms are increasingly popular in machine learning, due to their PAC generalisation properties and flexibility. The present paper aims at providing a self-contained survey on the resulting PAC-Bayes framework and some of its main theoretical and algorithmic developments.

This paper corrects errors in UMAP's derivation and explains its properties.

This paper contains a thorough introduction to the basic geometric properties of the manifold of Lagrangian subspaces of a linear symplectic space, known as the Lagrangian Grassmannian. It also reviews the important relationship between hypersurfaces in the Lagrangian Grassmannian and second-order PDEs.

Consider a codimension $1$ submanifold $N^n\subset M^{n+1}$, where $M^{n+1}\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ is a hypersurface. The envelope of tangent spaces of $M$ along $N$ generalizes the concept of tangent developable surface of a surface along a curve. In this paper, we study the singularities of these envelopes. There ar…

We study some properties of eigenvalue spectra of financial correlation matrices. In particular, we investigate the nature of the large eigenvalue bulks which are observed empirically, and which have often been regarded as a consequence of the supposedly large amount of noise contained in financial data. We challenge t…

We define a map from second quandle homology to the Schur multiplier and examine its properties. Furthermore, we express the second homology of Alexander quandles in terms of exterior algebras. Additionally, we present a self-contained proof of its structure and provide some computational examples.

In 1983 Conway and Gordon proved that any embedding of the complete graph $K_7$ into $\mathbb{R}^3$ contains at least one nontrivial knot as its Hamiltonian cycle. After their work knots (also links) are considered as intrinsic properties of abstract graphs, and numerous subsequent works have been continued until recen…
