Study on knot types using thickness and length constraints.

Building upon ideas of Hironaka, Bierstone-Milman, Malgrange and others we generalize the inverse and implicit function theorem (in differential, analytic and algebraic setting) to sets of functions of larger multiplicities (or ideals). This allows one to describe singularities given by a finite set of generators or by…

The paper studies steady motions of fibre-reinforced fluids on curved surfaces.

Let $(X,g)$ be a compact Riemannian stratified space with simple edge singularity. Thus a neighbourhood of the singular stratum is a bundle of truncated cones over a lower dimensional compact smooth manifold. We calculate the various polynomially weighted de Rham cohomology spaces of $X$, as well as the associated spac…

We consider random walks on the mapping class group whose support generates a non-elementary subgroup and contains a pseudo-Anosov map whose invariant Teichmüller geodesic is in the principal stratum. For such random walks, we show that mapping classes along almost every infinite sample path are eventually pseudo-Anoso…

Study saddle connections on hyperelliptic surfaces, finding growth rates.

In this paper we consider strata of flat metrics coming from quadratic differentials (semi-translation structures) on surfaces of finite type. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of simple closed curves to be spectrally rigid over a stratum with enough complexity, extending a result of Duchin-Lein…

In this paper, we develop Leray-Serre-type spectral sequences to compute the intersection homology of the regular neighborhood and deleted regular neighborhood of the bottom stratum of a stratified PL-pseudomanifold. The E^2 terms of the spectral sequences are given by the homology of the bottom stratum with a local co…

Compactifies strata of d-differentials in genus 0.

In this paper we are interested in the stratum H^{hyp}(4) of translation surfaces, which consists of pairs (M,ω), where M is a hyper-elliptic Riemann surface of genus 3, and ωis a holopmorphic 1-form on M having only one zero. We first show that every surface in this stratum can be decomposed into parallelograms follow…

The minimal stratum in Prym loci have been the first source of infinitely many primitive, but not algebraically primitive Teichmueller curves. We show that the stratum Prym(2,1,1) contains no such Teichmueller curve and the stratum Prym(2,2) at most 92 such Teichmueller curves. This complements the recent progress esta…

Study confirms non-injective monodromy for even genus 4 translation surfaces.

Paper finds surfaces where KVol is close to the surface's genus.

The traceless $SU(2)$ character variety $R(S^2,\{a_i,b_i\}_{i=1}^n)$ of a $2n$-punctured 2-sphere is the symplectic reduction of a Hamiltonian $n$-torus action on the $SU(2)$ character variety of a closed surface of genus $n$. It is stratified with a finite singular stratum and a top smooth symplectic stratum of dimens…

Unique Teichmüller curve found in complex geometry.

For a translation surface, we define the systole to be the length of the shortest saddle connection. We give a characterization of the maxima of the systole function on a stratum, and give a family of examples providing local but nonglobal maxima on each stratum of genus at least three. We further study the relation be…

The paper studies the geometry and topology of a specific foliation on a complex surface.

We show that for many strata of Abelian differentials in low genus the sum of Lyapunov exponents for the Teichmueller geodesic flow is the same for all Teichmueller curves in that stratum, hence equal to the sum of Lyapunov exponents for the whole stratum. This behavior is due to the disjointness property of Teichmuell…

We describe the connected components of the complement of a natural "diagonal" of real codimension 1 in a stratum of quadratic differentials on CP1. We establish a natural bijection between the set of these connected components and the set of generic configurations that appear on such "flat spheres". We also prove that…

Let $M$ be an even-dimensional, oriented closed manifold. We show that the restriction of a singular Riemannian flow on $M$ to a small tubular neighborhood of each connected component of its singular stratum is foliated-diffeomorphic to an isometric flow on the same neighborhood. We then prove a formula that computes c…

Algorithm constructs surfaces with specific Veech groups in lattice strata.

Multilayer networks are a useful data structure for simultaneously capturing multiple types of relationships between a set of nodes. In such networks, each relational definition gives rise to a layer. While each layer provides its own set of information, community structure across layers can be collectively utilized to…

Characterizes periods of abelian differentials on surfaces.

Defining the $m$-th stratum of a closed subset of an $n$ dimensional Euclidean space to consist of those points, where it can be touched by a ball from at least $n-m$ linearly independent directions, we establish that the $m$-th stratum is second-order rectifiable of dimension $m$ and a Borel set. This was known for co…

We consider random walks on the mapping class group that have finite first moment with respect to the word metric, whose support generates a non-elementary subgroup and contains a pseudo-Anosov map whose invariant Teichmuller geodesic is in the principal stratum of quadratic differentials. We show that a Teichmuller ge…

The paper calculates the Saito determinant for Coxeter discriminant strata.

A translation structure equips a Riemann surface with a singular flat metric. Not much is known about the shape of a random translation surface. We compute an upper bound on the expected value of the covering radius of a translation surface in any stratum H_1(kappa). The covering radius of a translation surface is the …

For Riem(M) the space of Riemannian metrics over a compact 3-manifold without boundary $M$, we study topological properties of the dense open subspace Riem'(M) of metrics which possess no Killing vectors. Given the stratification of Riem(M), we work under the condition that, in a sense defined in the text, the connecte…

Algorithm finds periodic points on Veech surfaces.

Moduli spaces of Abelian and quadratic differentials are stratified by multiplicities of zeroes; connected components of the strata correspond to ergodic components of the Teichmuller geodesic flow. It is known that the strata are not necessarily connected; the connected components were recently classified by M. Kontse…

We prove that square-tiled surfaces having fixed combinatorics of horizontal cylinder decomposition and tiled with smaller and smaller squares become asymptotically equidistributed in any ambient linear $GL(\mathbb R)$-invariant suborbifold defined over $\mathbb Q$ in the moduli space of Abelian differentials. Moreover…

The paper develops finite knot theory using ropelength-filtered Reidemeister graphs.

Researchers map the fundamental group of polynomial strata to a braid group.

A (compact) manifold with fibered $P$-singularities is a (possibly) singular pseudomanifold $M_Σ$ with two strata: an open nonsingular stratum $\mathring M$ (a smooth open manifold) and a closed stratum $βM$ (a closed manifold of positive codimension), such that a tubular neighborhood of $βM$ is a fiber bundle with fib…

Study counts ergodic measures in surface lamination strata.

We study the congruence problem for subgroups of the modular group that appear as Veech groups of square-tiled surfaces in the minimal stratum of abelian differentials of genus two.

Study of origamis' singularities for groups of prime-power order.

Derives integral formula for Hodge and Teichmüller norms.

We show that for any weakly convergent sequence of ergodic $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$-invariant probability measures on a stratum of unit-area translation surfaces, the corresponding Siegel-Veech constants converge to the Siegel-Veech constant of the limit measure. Together with a measure equidistribution result due to Eskin-M…

New algorithm for computing Veech groups from translation surfaces.

Study local models for special Kähler metrics near discriminant locus components.

An Abelian differential gives rise to a flat structure (translation surface) on the underlying Riemann surface. In some directions the directional flow on the flat surface may contain a periodic region that is made up of maximal cylinders filled by parallel geodesics of the same length. The growth rate of the number of…

Consider degenerations of Abelian differentials with prescribed number and multiplicity of zeros and poles. Motivated by the theory of limit linear series, we define twisted canonical divisors on pointed nodal curves to study degenerate differentials, give dimension bounds for their moduli spaces, and establish smootha…

We establish a connection between Morin singularities and stable homotopy groups of spheres. This connection allows us to describe how the images of singularity strata behave around the image of a more complicated stratum.
