The paper explores new phenomena in boundaries of relatively hyperbolic groups.

Study of group boundaries and subgroup properties.

This is a review article on some applications of generalised parabolic structures to the study of torsion free sheaves and $L$-twisted Hitchin pairs on nodal curves. In particular, we survey on the relation between representations of the fundamental group of a nodal curve and the moduli spaces of generalised parabolic …

We give an alternative proof to Agol's classification of parabolic generating pairs of non-free Kleinian groups generated by two parabolic transformations. As an application, we give a complete characterisation of epimorphims between $2$-bridge knot groups and a complete characterisation of degree one maps between the …

Solves pair trading problem using consumption-investment theory.

Sharp heat kernel estimates on manifolds lead to solutions of the Parabolic Anderson model.

We start with a disk with $2n$ vertices along its boundary where pairs of vertices are connected with $n$ strips with certain restrictions. This forms a {\it pairing}. To relate two pairings, we define an operator called a cut-and-glue operation. We show that this operation does not change an invariant of pairings know…

This note finds explicit representatives for moduli space of parabolic bundles.

We show how to associate an R-tree to the set of cut points of a continuum. If X is a continuum without cut points we show how to associate an R-tree to the set of cut pairs of X.

We show that any parabolic generating pair of a genus-one hyperbolic 2-bridge knot group is equivalent to the upper or lower meridian pair. As an application, we obtain a complete classification of the epimorphisms from 2-bridge knot groups to genus-one hyperbolic 2-bridge knot groups.

The paper extends Liouville theorems to sub-Riemannian manifolds.

This paper studies the problem of determining the optimal cut-off for pairs trading rules. We consider two correlated assets whose spread is modelled by a mean-reverting process with stochastic volatility, and the optimal pair trading rule is formulated as an optimal switching problem between three regimes: flat positi…

We investigate Legendrian graphs in $(\R^3, ξ_{std})$. We extend the classical invariants, Thurston-Bennequin number and rotation number to Legendrian graphs. We prove that a graph can be Legendrian realized with all its cycles Legendrian unknots with $tb=-1$ and $rot=0$ if and only if it does not contain $K_4$ as a mi…

The study characterizes infinite Riemann surfaces and their foliations using quadratic differentials.

For suitable finite groups G, we construct contractible 4-manifolds C with an effective G-action on $\partial C$ whose associated pairs (C,g) for all $g \in G$ are distinct smoothings of the pair $(C,\partial C)$. Indeed C embeds in a 4-manifold so that cutting out C and regluing using distinct elements of G yield dist…

Multisections generalize trisections for 4-manifolds, allowing complex operations and explicit diagrams.

This thesis is concerned with the theory of invariant bilinear differential pairings on parabolic geometries. It introduces the concept formally with the help of the jet bundle formalism and provides a detailed analysis. More precisely, after introducing the most important notations and definitions, we first of all giv…

Let $p$ be a Lie subalgebra of a semisimple Lie algebra $g$ and $(G,P)$ be the corresponding pair of connected Lie groups. A Cartan geometry of type $(G,P)$ associates to a smooth manifold $M$ a principal $P$-bundle and a Cartan connection, and a parabolic geometry is a Cartan geometry where $P$ is parabolic. We show t…

A $T$-Schottky group is a discrete group of Möbius transformations whose generators identify pairs of, possibly-tangent, Jordan curves on the complex sphere, ${\hat{\IC}}$. If the curves are Euclidean circles then the group is termed classical $T$-Schottky. We describe the boundary of the space of classical $T$-Schottk…

A local Riemann-Hilbert correspondence for tame meromorphic connections on a curve compatible with a parahoric level structure will be established. Special cases include logarithmic connections on G-bundles and on parabolic G-bundles, where G is a complex reductive group. The corresponding Betti data involves pairs (M,…

This article deals with 2d almost Riemannian structures, which are generalized Riemannian structures on manifolds of dimension 2. Such sub-Riemannian structures can be locally defined by a pair of vector fields (X,Y), playing the role of orthonormal frame, that may become colinear on some subset. We denote D = span(X,Y…

In this paper it is shown that for any network there is a uniquely determined network based on a structure tree that provides a convenient way of determining a minimal cut separating a pair $s, t$ where each of $s, t$ is either a vertex or an end in the original network. A Max-Flow Min-Cut Theorem is proved for any net…

Paper develops geometry for Kleinian groups using Farey polynomials.

In this paper we enumerate and classify the ``simplest'' pairs (M,G) where M is a closed orientable 3-manifold and G is a trivalent graph embedded in M. To enumerate the pairs we use a variation of Matveev's definition of complexity for 3-manifolds, and we consider only (0,1,2)-irreducible pairs, namely pairs (M,G) suc…

Max-Cut decision tree improves classification accuracy and reduces computation time.

The study classifies points on ruled surfaces in 4-space based on geometric properties.

In earlier work we introduced geometrically natural probability measures on the group of all Möbius transformations in order to study "random" groups of Möbius transformations, random surfaces, and in particular random two-generator groups, that is groups where the generators are selected randomly, with a view to estim…

The comparison principle for scalar second order parabolic PDEs on functions $u(t,x)$ admits a topological interpretation: pairs of solutions, $u^1(t,\cdot)$ and $u^2(t,\cdot)$, evolve so as to not increase the intersection number of their graphs. We generalize to the case of multiple solutions $\{u^α(t,\cdot)\}_{α=1}^…

We introduce machinery to allow ``cut-and-paste''-style inductive arguments in the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group. In the past these arguments have been problematic because restricting the Torelli group to subsurfaces gives different groups depending on how the subsurfaces are embedded. We define a categor…

In this paper we show that the existence of a non-parabolic local cut point in the Bowditch boundary $\partial(G,\mathbb{P})$ of a relatively hyperbolic group $(G,\mathbb{P})$ implies that $G$ splits over a $2$-ended subgroup. This theorem generalizes a theorem of Bowditch from the setting of hyperbolic groups to relat…

We express the Connes-Chern character of the Dirac operator associated to a b-metric on a manifold with boundary in terms of a retracted cocycle in relative cyclic cohomology, whose expression depends on a scaling/cut-off pa- rameter. Blowing-up the metric one recovers the pair of characteristic currents that represent…

There is a well-known correspondence between the symplectic variety of representations of the fundamental group of a punctured Riemann surface into a compact Lie group G, with fixed conjugacy classes at the punctures, and a complex variety of holomorphic bundles on the unpunctured surface with a parabolic structure at …

TokenCut detects and segments objects in images and videos without supervision.

Research connects physics and math through ceramic art of Riemann surfaces.

Motivated by the algebraic open-closed string models, we introduce and discuss an infinite-dimensional counterpart of the open-closed Hurwitz theory describing branching coverings generated both by the compact oriented surfaces and by the foam surfaces. We manifestly construct the corresponding infinite-dimensional equ…

We prove, as our main theorem, the finiteness of topological type of a complete open Riemannian manifold $M$ with a base point $p \in M$ whose radial curvature at $p$ is bounded from below by that of a non-compact model surface of revolution $\tilde{M}$ which admits a finite total curvature and has no pair of cut point…

This paper is the fifth and final in a series on embedded minimal surfaces. Following our earlier papers on disks, we prove here two main structure theorems for non-simply connected embedded minimal surfaces of any given fixed genus. The first of these asserts that any such surface without small necks can be obtained b…

Study Riemannian metrics on lens spaces, find cut loci and diameters.

We consider a left invariant Riemannian metric on SO(3) with two equal eigenvalues. We find the cut locus and the equation for the cut time. We find the diameter of such metric and describe the set of all most distant points from the identity. Also we prove that the cut locus and the cut time converge to the cut locus …

Let $K$ be an unknot in $8$-bridge position in the $3$-sphere. We give an example of a pair of weak reducing disks $D_1$ and $D_2$ for $K$ such that both disks obtained from $D_i$ ($i = 1, 2$) by a surgery along any outermost disk in $D_{3-i}$, cut off by an outermost arc of $D_i \cap D_{3-i}$ in $D_{3-i}$, are not wea…
