The article defines and analyzes Clairaut anti-invariant maps between Riemannian and trans-Sasakian manifolds.

Algorithm calculates Hopf invariant for simplicial mappings.

As a generalization of anti-invariant Riemannian submersions, we introduce anti-invariant Riemannian maps from almost Hermitian manifolds to Riemannian manifolds. We give examples and investigate the geometry of foliations which are arisen from the definition of an anti-Riemannian map. Then we give a decomposition theo…

Innovates a three-component link homotopy invariant.

New descriptions of a subgroup in mapping class groups.

Defines new link-homotopy invariants using Milnor's higher order link invariants.

Subtle issues arise when extending homotopy invariants to spaces of functions having little regularity, e.g., Sobolev spaces containing discontinuous functions. Sometimes it is not possible to extend the invariant at all, and sometimes, even when the formulas defining the invariants make sense, they may not have expect…

Study numerical invariants under retraction maps between topological spaces.

Study links' flat-virtual diagrams to create link invariants.

The paper studies Clairaut maps on Sasakian manifolds.

We find that Koschorke's $β$-invariant and the triple $μ$-invariant of link maps in the critical dimension can be computed as degrees of certain maps of configuration spaces - just like the linking number. Both formulas admit geometric interpretations in terms of Vassiliev's ornaments via new operations akin to the Jin…

Study relates Gaussian curvature signs to cuspidal edge types and geometric invariants.

We studied rules of transformations of Christoffel symbols under third type almost geodesic mappings in this paper. From this research, we obtained some new invariants of these mappings. These invariants are analogies of Thomas projective parameter and Weyl projective tensor.

In this paper, we discuss relations among several invariants of 3-manifolds including Meyer's function, the eta-invariant, the von Neumann rho-invariant and the Casson invariant from the viewpoint of the mapping class group of a surface.

New shifting chain map enhances quandle invariants for links.

General invariants of a geometric mapping of a symmetric affine connection space are obtained in this paper. These invariants are generalizations of the previous obtained basic invariants (see [16]). Moreover, these invariants are related with the Thomas projective parameter and the Weyl projective tensor.

Study invariants of $\mathbb{Z}/p$-homology 3-spheres from abelianization of mapping class groups.

We study quantum moment maps of $G$-invariant star products, which are a quantum analogue of the moment map for classical Hamiltonian systems. Introducing an integral representation, we show that any quantum moment map for a $G$-invariant star product is differentiable. This property gives us a new method for the class…

The Grassmannian model represents harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces by families of shift-invariant subspaces of a Hilbert space. We impose a natural symmetry condition on the shift-invariant subspaces that corresponds to considering an important class of harmonic maps into symmetric and $k$-symmetric spaces. In parti…

Extends knot invariant to filtered grid complexes.

The Hopf invariant is linked to null-homotopy properties of maps.

This study is motivated by the researches in the field of invariants of geodesic and conformal mappings presented in (T. Y. Thomas, [22]) and (H. Weyl, [25]). The Thomas projective parameter and the Weyl projective tensor are generalized in this article. Generators for vector spaces of invariants of geometric mappings …

New invariants explain topological properties of pseudo-Anosov maps.

This is a survey paper of author's results on cobordism groups and semigroups of fold maps and simple fold maps. The results include: establishing a relation between fold maps and immersions through geometrical invariants of cobordism classes of fold maps and simple fold maps in terms of immersions with prescribed norm…

Study on Casson invariant and its variants in mapping class groups.

Study variational problems for integral invariants of maps between pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.

Quantifies uniqueness of conformal-harmonic maps on 4-manifolds.

We affirmatively address the question of whether the proposed link homotopy invariant $ω$ of Li is well-defined. It is also shown that if one wishes to adapt the homotopy invariant $τ$ of Schneiderman-Teichner to a link homotopy invariant of link maps, the result coincides with $ω$.

We determine the center of a meta-nilpotent quotient of a mapping-torus group. As a corollary, we introduce two invariants, which are quadratic forms, of knots and of mapping classes.

We compare two different types of mapping class invariants: the Hochschild homology of an $A_\infty$ bimodule coming from bordered Heegaard Floer homology, and fixed point Floer cohomology. We first compute the bimodule invariants and their Hochschild homology in the genus two case. We then compare the resulting comput…

Parity mappings from the chords of a Gauss diagram to the integers is defined. The parity of the chords is used to construct families of invariants of Gauss diagrams and virtual knots. One family consists of degree $n$ Vassiliev invariants.

In this paper, we study spacelike rotational surfaces which are called boost invariant surfaces in Minkowski 4-space E41. We give necessary and sufficient condition for flat spacelike rotational surface to have pointwise 1-type Gauss map. Also, we obtain a characterization for boost invariant marginally trapped surface…

We show that an orientable pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism has vanishing Sah-Arnoux-Fathi invariant if and only if the minimal polynomial of its dilatation is not reciprocal. We relate this to works of Margalit-Spallone and Birman, Brinkmann and Kawamuro. Mainly, we use Veech's construction of pseudo-Anosov maps to give ex…

We introduce slant Riemannian maps from Riemannian manifolds to almost Hermitian manifolds as a generalization of slant immersions, invariant Riemannian maps and anti-invariant Riemannian maps. We give examples, obtain characterizations and investigate the harmonicity of such maps. We also obtain necessary and sufficie…

New link invariants derived from $L^2$-Burau maps of braids.

We outline the construction of invariants of Hamiltonian group actions on symplectic manifolds. These invariants can be viewed as an equivariant version of Gromov-Witten invariants. They are derived from solutions of a PDE involving the Cauchy-Riemann operator, the curvature of a connection, and the moment map.

New measure defined on surface strata, invariant under scaling.

We characterize Lie group actions for which there exists, at least locally, an evaluation map that defines a cochain map from the differential complex of invariant forms on a manifold to the De Rham complex for the quotient.

Model for assembly map of bordism-invariant functors.

The geometric Hopf invariant of a stable map F is a stable Z_2-equivariant map h(F) such that the stable Z_2-equivariant homotopy class of h(F) is the primary obstruction to F being homotopic to an unstable map. In this paper we express the geometric Hopf invariant of the Umkehr map F of an immersion f:M^m \to N^n in t…
