Study the isoperimetric problem in Riemannian manifolds with non-trivial conformal vector fields.

problem Isoperimetric problem in Riemannian manifolds with non-trivial conformal vector fields.
method Introduced a mean curvature type flow to study the isoperimetric problem.
result Established the isoperimetric inequality for star-shaped hypersurfaces in such manifolds.

Physics-informed GP regression solves eigenvalue problems by identifying non-trivial eigenspaces.

problem Solving eigenvalue problems of linear operators with trivial solutions.
method Constructing a transfer function-type indicator using physics-informed Gaussian Process posterior.
result The posterior covariance is non-trivial only for eigenvalues of the operator, indicating non-trivial eigenspaces.

Quantization of a Lagrangian field system essentially depends on its degeneracy and implies its BRST extension defined by sets of non-trivial Noether and higher-stage Noether identities. However, one meets a problem how to select trivial and non-trivial higher-stage Noether identities. We show that, under certain condi…

The Degasperis-Procesi equation's solutions define pseudospherical metrics and can lead to surface collapse.

problem Understanding the breakdown of manifolds determined by Cauchy problems of the Degasperis-Procesi equation.
method Analyzing the pseudospherical nature of local and non-local formulations of the Degasperis-Procesi equation.
result Solutions to Cauchy problems with non-trivial initial data define an orthonormal coframe for pseudospherical metrics.

The well-known Funk metric F(x,y) is projectively flat with constant flag curvature K=-1/4 and the Hilbert metric H(x,y):=(F(x,y)+F(x,-y))/2 is projectively flat with constant curvature K=-1. These metrics are the special solutions to Hilbert's Fourth Problem. In this paper, we construct a non-trivial R-flat spray usin…

New findings on Jones polynomial for 4-strand braids.

problem Whether there are non-trivial knots with trivial Jones polynomial.
method Study of 4-strand braids, exploration of various properties of hypothetical HOMFLY-PT polynomials.
result Existence of a 1-parameter family of 2-variable polynomials that can be HOMFLY-PT polynomials of some knots.

We consider knot theories possessing a {\em parity}: each crossing is decreed {\em odd} or {\em even} according to some universal rule. If this rule satisfies some simple axioms concerning the behaviour under Reidemeister moves, this leads to a possibility of constructing new invariants and proving minimality and non-t…

The paper constructs non-abelian covers for knots with non-trivial Alexander polynomials.

problem Finding minimal non-cyclic covers of knots with non-trivial Alexander polynomials.
method Using covering space theory and Alexander stratifications, the paper constructs finite non-abelian representations and bounds the order of the group.
result The first Betti number of the cover can be arbitrarily large, and it contains non-peripheral homology.

We give a short proof that if a non-trivial band sum of two knots results in a tight fibered knot, then the band sum is a connected sum. In particular, this means that any prime knot obtained by a non-trivial band sum is not tight fibered. Since a positive L-space knot is tight fibered, a non-trivial band sum never yie…

We say that a graph is intrinsically non-trivial if every spatial embedding of the graph contains a non-trivial spatial subgraph. We prove that an intrinsically non-trivial graph is intrinsically linked, namely every spatial embedding of the graph contains a non-splittable 2-component link. We also show that there exis…

Smooth surfaces in simply connected 4-manifolds yield groups with non-trivial homology.

problem Finding groups with non-trivial fundamental groups in the complements of surfaces in 4-manifolds.
method Combining topological constructions with homological properties of simple groups.
result The complement of a surface in a simply connected 4-manifold can have a non-trivial fundamental group.

problem Identifying knots with non-trivial Steenrod operations on Khovanov homology.
method Examined prime, hyperbolic, and satellite knots using Steenrod operations.
result Found knots (prime, hyperbolic, satellite) with non-trivial Steenrod operations on Khovanov homology.

method Perturbative argument, refined neck-analysis, energy identity, min-max problems.
result Construction of an infinite family of new null-homotopic nn-harmonic nn-spheres.

Let X be a compact Kahler manifold with a non-trivial holomorphic Poisson structure. Then there exist deformations of non-trivial generalized Kahler structures with one pure spinor on X. We prove that every Poisson submanifold of X is a generalized Kahler submanifold with respect to the deformed generalized Kahler stru…

New approach to symmetries in teleparallel geometries with non-trivial isotropy groups.

method Introducing a frame-based approach to find the most general Riemann-Cartan geometries that admit a given symmetry group.
result Determine the most general geometries with minimal arbitrary functions for specific symmetry groups.

In this paper, we study the colorability of link diagrams by the Alexander quandles. We show that if the reduced Alexander polynomial ΔL(t)Δ_{L}(t) is vanishing, then LL admits a non-trivial coloring by any non-trivial Alexander quandle QQ, and that if ΔL(t)=1Δ_{L}(t)=1, then LL admits only the trivial coloring by any Alexa…

The paper revisits a claim about a principal bundle over a contractible base and finds it non-trivial.

problem Investigating the properties of a specific quotient space construction over a smoothly contractible base.
method Revisiting a previous claim and using the concept of vector pseudo-bundles to redefine the structure as a non-trivial principal pseudo-bundle.
result The projection fails to satisfy the strict condition of local triviality, but the structure remains rich with a smooth, free, and fiber-transitive group action.

Motivated by some questions in the path integral approach to (topological) gauge theories, we are led to address the following question: given a smooth map from a manifold MM to a compact group GG, is it possible to smoothly `diagonalize' it, i.e.~conjugate it into a map to a maximal torus TT of GG? We analyze the …
