In this paper, for an even dimensional compact manifold with boundary which has the non-product metric near the boundary, we use the noncommutative residue to define a conformal invariant pair. For a 4-dimensional manifold, we compute this conformal invariant pair under some conditions and point out the way of computat…
We consider ribbon R4's, that is, smooth open 4-manifolds, homeomorphic to R4 and associated to h-cobordisms between closed 4-manifolds. We show that any generalized ribbon R4 associated to a sequence of h-cobordisms between non-diffeomorphic 4-manifolds is exotic. Notion of a positive ribbon R4 is defi…

We show that if a closed atoroidal 3-manifold M contains a genuine lamination, then it is group negatively curved in the sense of Gromov. Specifically, we exploit the structure of the non-product complementary regions of the genuine lamination and then apply the first author's Ubiquity Theorem to show that M satisfies …
We employ cut and paste contact topological techniques to classify some tight contact structures on the closed, oriented genus-2 surface times the interval.

Focusing first on standard Gaussian inputs, we show that the structure of spurious local minima detected by stochastic gradient descent (SG…
We consider a generalized APS boundary problem for a G-invariant Dirac-type operator, which is not of product type near the boundary. We establish a delocalized version (a so-called Kirillov formula) of the equivariant index theorem for this operator. We obtain more explicit formulas for different geometric Dirac-type …
