Skeleton is a new notion designed for constructing space-filling curves of self-similar sets. It is shown in [Dai, Rao and Zhang, Space-filling curves of self-similar sets (II): Edge-to-trail substitution rule,https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6544/ab1275] that for a connected self-similar set, space-filling curves can be c…

We study filling sets of simple closed curves on punctured surfaces. In particular we study lower bounds on the cardinality of sets of curves that fill and that pairwise intersect at most k times on surfaces with given genus and number of punctures. We are able to establish orders of growth for even k and show that for…

We show that the asymptotic growth rate for the minimal cardinality of a set of simple closed curves on a closed surface of genus gg which fill and pairwise intersect at most K1K\ge 1 times is 2g/K2\sqrt{g}/\sqrt{K} as gg \to \infty . We then bound from below the cardinality of a filling set of systoles by g/log(g)g/\log(g).…

Let FgF_g denote a closed oriented surface of genus gg. A set of simple closed curves is called a filling of FgF_g if its complement is a disjoint union of discs. The mapping class group Mod(Fg)\text{Mod}(F_g) of genus gg acts on the set of fillings of FgF_g. The union of the curves in a filling forms a graph on the surfa…

T-curves are piecewise linear curves which have been used with success since the beginning of the 1990's to construct new real algebraic curves with prescribed topology mainly on the real projective plane. In fact T-curves can be used on any real projective toric surface. We generalize here the construction of the latt…

The homological and homotopical Dehn functions are different ways of measuring the difficulty of filling a closed curve inside a group or a space. The homological Dehn function measures fillings of cycles by chains, while the homotopical Dehn function measures fillings of curves by disks. Since the two definitions invo…

We prove an explicit, quantitative criterion that ensures the Heegaard surfaces in Dehn fillings behave "as expected." Given a cusped hyperbolic manifold X, and a Dehn filling whose meridian and longitude curves are longer than 2pi(2g-1), we show that every genus g Heegaard splitting of the filled manifold is isotopic …

A Dehn sphere in a closed 3-manifold M is a 2-sphere immersed in M with only double curve and triple point singularities. The Dehn sphere S fills M if it defines a cell-decomposition of M. The inverse image in S^{2} of the double curves of S is the Johansson diagram of S and if S fills M it is possible to reconstruct M…
