New embeddings show answer to Baker-Laidacker question can be yes or no.

Uniform bounds found for Sierpinski carpet hyperbolic components.

A new classification method using disjoint centroids and normalized distance.

We provide a self-contained treatment of set-theoretic subsolutions to flow by mean curvature, or, more generally, to flow by mean curvature plus an ambient vector field. The ambient space can be any smooth Riemannian manifold. Most importantly, we show that if two such set-theoretic subsolutions are initially disjoint…

The paper introduces MU for NMF with $β$-divergences and disjoint constraints.

After giving a general introduction to the main known results on the anisotropic Calder{ó}n problem on n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary, we give a motivated review of some recent non-uniqueness results obtained in [5, 6] for the anisotropic Calder{ó}n problem at fixed frequency, in dimension n $…

New algorithm for learning causal structures with disjoint cycles in linear non-Gaussian models.

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…

Improved defense against data poisoning attacks by aggregating smaller subsets.

We show that all finite-dimensional resolvable generalized manifolds with the piecewise disjoint arc-disk property are codimension one manifold factors. We then show how the piecewise disjoint arc-disk property and other general position properties that detect codimension one manifold factors are related. We also note …

We present a new property, the Disjoint Path Concordances Property, of an ENR homology manifold X which precisely characterizes when X times R has the Disjoint Disks Property. As a consequence, X times R is a manifold if and only if X is resolvable and it possesses this Disjoint Path Concordances Property.

Two triples of triangles having pairwise disjoint outlines in 3-space are called combinatorially isotopic if one triple can be obtained from the other by a continuous motion during which the outlines of the triangles remain pairwise disjoint. We conjecture that it can be algorithmically checked if an (ordered or unorde…

For links with vanishing pairwise linking numbers, the link components bound pairwise disjoint surfaces in $B^{4}$. In this paper, we describe the set of genera of such surfaces in terms of the $h$-function, which is a link invariant from Heegaard Floer homology. In particular, we use the $h$-function to give lower bou…

The paper explores linked cycles in graphs and their properties.

Avoids noncompact hypersurfaces from touching in evolving flows.

A natural generalization of interval exchange maps are linear involutions, first introduced by Danthony and Nogueira. Recurrent train tracks with a single switch which we call non-classical interval exchanges, form a subclass of linear involutions without flips. They are analogs of classical interval exchanges, and are…

We estimate from below the number of lines meeting each of given 4 disjoint smooth closed curves in a given cyclic order in the real projective 3-space and in a given linear order in the Euclidean 3-space. Similarly, we estimate the number of circles meeting in a given cyclic order given 6 disjoint smooth closed curves…

Solves Plateau-Douglas problem for singular configurations in general metric spaces.

Given an elliptic integrand of class $\mathscr{C}^{3}$, we prove that finite unions of disjoint open Wulff shapes with equal radii are the only volume-constrained critical points of the anisotropic surface energy among all sets with finite perimeter and reduced boundary almost equal to its closure.

New theorem shows shapes close to balls, flow converges to balls in 2D and 3D.

Study flat flow solutions to Mullins-Sekerka and area-preserving curvature flows on planar flat torus.

We prove that the number s(n) of disjoint minimal graphs supported on domains in R^n is bounded by e(n+1)^2. In the two-dimensional case we show that s(2) is at most three (the conjectured number is two).

We note a simple algebraic proof of Frolkina's result that $\mathbb R^3$ does not contain uncountably many pairwise disjoint copies of the Möbius band, and of a similar result in higher dimensions.

A link in the 3-sphere is called (smoothly) slice if its components bound disjoint smoothly embedded disks in the 4-ball. More generally, given a 4-manifold M with a distinguished circle in its boundary, a link in the 3-sphere is called M-slice if its components bound in the 4-ball disjoint embedded copies of M. A 4-ma…

We show that many algebraic actions of higher-rank abelian groups on zero-dimensional groups are mutually disjoint. The proofs exploit differences in the entropy geometry arising from subdynamics and a form of Abramov--Rokhlin formula for half-space entropies.

New theorem on embedding Moebius bands in 3D space.

Thurston introduced shear deformations (cataclysms) on geodesic laminations - deformations including left and right displacements along geodesics. For hyperbolic surfaces with cusps, we consider shear deformations on disjoint unions of ideal geodesics. The length of a balanced weighted sum of ideal geodesics is defined…

Karshon constructed the first counterexample to the log-concavity conjecture for the Duistermaat-Heckman measure: a Hamiltonian six manifold whose fixed points set is the disjoint union of two copies of $T^4$. In this article, for any closed symplectic four manifold $N$ with $b+$ greater than 1, we show that there is a…

We show that if $G$ is an upper semicontinuous decomposition of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n \geq 4$, into convex sets, then the quotient space $\mathbb{R}^n/G$ is a codimension one manifold factor. In particular, we show that $\mathbb{R}^n/G$ has the disjoint arc-disk property.

Infinite clique of rays in plane minus Cantor set.

The study bounds the excess of disjoint nonorientable surfaces in a 4-manifold.

Determining the space of free discrete two generator groups of Möbius transformations is an old and difficult problem. In this paper we show how to construct large balls of full dimension in this space. To do this, we begin with a marked discrete group of non-separating disjoint circle type. Such a group determines thr…

This paper studies the geometry of minimum-volume confidence sets for multinomial parameters.

Satellite knots can be trivialized by a single band move.

New algorithm for identifying Condorcet team in noisy comparisons.

We give a maximal set of disjoint $(-1)$-sections of the well-known Lefschetz fibration constructed by Matsumoto, Cadavid and Korkmaz. In fact, we obtain several such sets for a fixed genus, which implies that the Matsumoto-Cadavid-Korkmaz Lefschetz fibration has more than one supporting minimal Lefschetz pencils. We a…

Extends Jones' construction to map Thompson group to pointed links.

Embeddings of pairs of disjoint nonparallel primitive simple closed curves in the boundary of a genus two handlebody are classified. Briefly, two disjoint primitives either lie on opposite ends of a product $F \boldsymbol{\times} I$, or they lie on opposite ends of a kind of "twisted" product $F \widetilde{\boldsymbol{…

New geodesic rays found on hyperbolic surfaces with unique halo.

Infinite type surfaces can be perfectly divided into triangles.

The paper extends the avoidance principle for mean curvature flows, proving new intersection dimension monotonicity results.

The following problem was proposed in 2010 by S. Lando. Let $M$ and $N$ be two unions of the same number of disjoint circles in a sphere. Do there always exist two spheres in 3-space such that their intersection is transversal and is a union of disjoint circles that is situated as $M$ in one sphere and as $N$ in the ot…

Let $K$ be a polygonal knot in general position with vertex set $V$. A \emph{generic quadrisecant} of $K$ is a line that is disjoint from the set $V$ and intersects $K$ in exactly four distinct points. We give an upper bound for the number of generic quadrisecants of a polygonal knot $K$ in general position. This upper…

The distance of an almost constant mean curvature boundary from a finite family of disjoint tangent balls with equal radii is quantitatively controlled in terms of the oscillation of the scalar mean curvature. This result allows one to quantitatively describe the geometry of volume-constrained stationary sets in capill…
