New cubic forms linked to η-invariants and mod 2 indices.

We prove that $δ$-invariants of smooth cubic surfaces are at least $\frac{6}{5}$.

Cubic complexes appear in the theory of finite type invariants so often that one can ascribe them to basic notions of the theory. In this paper we begin the exposition of finite type invariants from the `cubic' point of view. Finite type invariants of knots and homology 3-spheres fit perfectly into this conception. In …

The aim of this paper is to define two link invariants satisfying cubic skein relations. In the hierarchy of polynomial invariants determined by explicit skein relations they are the next level of complexity after Jones, HOMFLY, Kauffman and Kuperberg's $G_2$ quantum invariants. Our method consists in the study of Mark…

Paper provides criteria to detect non-admissible quandles via coloring.

Introduces admissible skein modules for non-semisimple categories.

Temperley-Lieb algebras have been generalized to sl(3) web spaces. Since a cubic bipartite planar graph with suitable directions on edges is a web, the quantum sl(3) invariants naturally extend to all cubic bipartite planar graphs. First we completely classify them as a connected sum of primes webs. We also provide a m…

The paper simplifies conditions for optimal paths on manifolds avoiding obstacles.

The cubic lattice stick index of a knot type is the least number of sticks necessary to construct the knot type in the 3-dimensional cubic lattice. We present the cubic lattice stick index of various knots and links, including all (p,p+1)-torus knots, and show how composing and taking satellites can be used to obtain t…

In this paper, we show that the α_{m,2}-invariant of a smooth cubic surface with Eckardt points is strictly bigger than 2/3. This can be used to simplify Tian's original proof of the existence of Kaehler-Einstein metrics on such manifolds. We also sketch the computations on cubic surfaces with one ordinary double point…

Classifies 3-manifold groups with equivariant hierarchically hyperbolic structures.

We produce the first examples of closed, tight contact 3-manifolds which become overtwisted after performing admissible transverse surgeries. Along the way, we clarify the relationship between admissible transverse surgery and Legendrian surgery. We use this clarification to study a new invariant of transverse knots - …

We address the problem of classifying discrete differential-geometric Poisson brackets (dDGPBs) of any fixed order on target space of dimension 1. It is proved that these Poisson brackets (PBs) are in one-to-one correspondence with the intersection points of certain projective hypersurfaces. In addition, they can be re…

Study of algebraic dynamics on Markov cubics in tropical geometry.

Motivated by applications in computational anatomy, we consider a second-order problem in the calculus of variations on object manifolds that are acted upon by Lie groups of smooth invertible transformations. This problem leads to solution curves known as Riemannian cubics on object manifolds that are endowed with norm…

We introduce mod 3 triple Milnor invariants and triple cubic residue symbols for certain primes of the Eisenstein number field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$, following the analogies between knots and primes. Our triple symbol generalizes both the cubic residue symbol and Rédei's triple symbol, and describes the decomposition…

Given a rank 2 hermitian bundle over a 3-manifold that is non-trivial admissible in the sense of Floer, one defines its Casson invariant as half the signed count of its projectively flat connections, suitably perturbed. We show that the 2-divisibility of this integer invariant is controlled in part by a formula involvi…

Differentiable sorting and rank normalization are incompatible, with specific conditions for admissibility.

We propose a purely algebraic approach to construct invariants of transversal links in the standard contact structure on the 3-sphere generalizing Jones' approach to invariant of usual links. The only geometry used is the analogue of Alexander and Markov theorems. More precisely, we construct a trace on a certain cubic…

We define a finite-dimensional cubic quotient of the group algebra of the braid group, endowed with a (essentially unique) Markov trace which affords the Links-Grould invariant of knots and links. We investigate several of its properties, and state several conjectures about its structure.

The paper proves Liouville rigidity for Hessian equations, characterizing geometric conditions for constant solutions.

Minimal area of spun trefoil knot is found in 4D cubical space.

This paper generalizes the first author's preceding works concerning admissible functions on certain Fano manifolds. Here, we study a larger class of functions which can be less symmetric than the ones studied before. When the sup of these functions is null, we prove that they admit a lower bound, giving precisely Tian…

Study of cubic skein modules in 3-sphere and arbitrary 3-manifolds.

Riemannian cubics are critical points for the $L^2$ norm of acceleration of curves in Riemannian manifolds $M$. In the present paper the $L^\infty$ norm replaces the $L^2$ norm, and a less direct argument is used to derive necessary conditions analogous to those for Riemannian cubics. The necessary conditions are exami…

We construct differential invariants that vanish if and only if the geodesic flow of a 2-dimensional metric admits an integral of 3rd degree in momenta with a given Birkhoff-Kolokoltsov 3-codifferential.

Study homogeneous Lorentzian manifolds under reductive Lie groups, reducing descriptions to semisimple groups.

We give a survey of our recent work describing a method which combines the Sasaki join construction with the admissible Kähler construction of to obtain new extremal and new constant scalar curvature Sasaki metrics, including Sasaki-Einstein metrics. The constant scalar curvature Sasaki metrics also provide explicit so…

We prove that there is no parity anomaly in M-theory in the low-energy field theory approximation. Our approach is computational. We determine generators for the 12-dimensional bordism group of pin manifolds with a w_1-twisted integer lift of w_4; these are the manifolds on which Wick-rotated M-theory exists. The anoma…

New topology shows Morse boundaries are topologically invariant.

We construct a cubical CW-complex CK(M^3) whose rational cohomology algebra contains Vassiliev invariants of knots in the 3-manifold M^3. We construct \bar{CK}(R^3) by attaching cells to CK(R^3) for every degenerate 1-singular and 2-singular knot, and we show that π_1(\bar{CK}(R^3))=1 and π_2(\bar{CK}(R^3))=Z. We give …

New pseudometrics defined on knot spaces based on curve thickness and length.

Study on algebraic curves' invariants and vanishing criteria.

New Lagrangian and special Lagrangian examples found in complex space.

We prove that admissible functions for Fubini-Study metrics on the complex projective space $P_{m}C$, of complex dimension $m$, invariant by a convenient automorphisms group, are lower bounded by a function going to minus infinity on the boundary of usual charts of $P_{m}C$. A similar lower bound holds on some projecti…

Flow on curves in inversive geometry converges to loxodromics.

Study shows infinite Hofer diameter for Lagrangian orbits in cotangent bundles.

Let $ρ:(D^2)^m\to I^m$ be the orbit map for the diagonal action of the torus $T^m$ on the unit poly-disk $(D^2)^m$, $I^m=[0,1]^m$ is the unit cube. Let $C$ be a cubical subcomplex in $I^m$. The moment-angle complex $\ma(C)$ is a $T^m$-invariant bigraded cellular decomposition of the subset $ρ^{-1}(C)\subset(D^2)^m$ wit…

A contact twisted cubic structure (M,C,S) is a 5-dimensional manifold M together with a contact distribution C and a bundle S of twisted cubics that is compatible with the conformal symplectic form on C. In Engel's classical work, the Lie algebra of the exceptional Lie group G_2 was realized as the symmetry algebra of …

We give sufficient conditions on a function invariant under the action of an isometry group to be Branson's Q-curvature of a metric in a given conformal class, using the conformal GJMS operators.

The article studies conic connections on complex manifolds and their geometric properties.

Combining Kulpa's proof of the cubical Sperner lemma and a dimension theoretic idea of van Mill we give a very short proof of the invariance of dimension, i.e. the statement that cubes [0,1]^n, [0,1]^m are homeomorphic if and only if n=m. This note is adapted from lecture notes for a course on general topology.

We describe a class (called regular) of invariant generalized complex structures on a real semisimple Lie group G. The problem reduces to the description of admissible pairs (\gk, ω), where \gk is an appropriate regular subalgebra of the complex Lie algebra \gg^{C} associated to G and ωis a closed 2-form on \gk, such t…

The author has previously constructed a class of admissible vector fields on the path space of an elliptic diffusion process $x$ taking values in a closed compact manifold. In this Note the existence of flows for this class of vector fields is established and it is shown that the law of $x$ is quasi-invariant under the…
