Constructs a spectrum for knot Floer homology without holomorphic geometry.

Gromov has shown how to construct holomorphic maps of the plane to a complex manifold with prescribed values on a lattice. In the present paper, a similar interpolation theorem for pseudo-holomorphic maps from the cylinder S to an almost-complex manifold (M,J) is proved. Properties of the space of pseudo-holomorphic ma…

Projective surfaces metrisability linked to pseudo-holomorphic curves existence.

Motivated by the problem of finding an explicit description of a developable narrow Moebius strip of minimal bending energy, which was first formulated by M. Sadowsky in 1930, we will develop the theory of elastic strips. Recently E.L. Starostin and G.H.M. van der Heijden found a numerical description for an elastic Mo…

Proves an Euler-type formula for Möbius strip partitions.

Motivated by the theory of quantum waveguides, we investigate the spectrum of the Laplacian, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions, in a curved strip of constant width that is defined as a tubular neighbourhood of an infinite curve in a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold. Under the assumption that the strip is asym…

We introduce the notion of strip complex. A strip complex is a special type of complex obtained by gluing "strips" along their natural boundaries according to a given graph structure. The most familiar example is the one dimensional complex classically associated with a graph, in which case the strips are simply copies…

Effective quantum dynamics on a thin Möbius strip approximated by a flat model.

In \cite{FOinteger}, Fukaya and Ono outlined a way of counting pseudo-holomorphic curves in a general compact symplectic manifold to obtain integer valued invariants. This paper contains the details of Fukaya and Ono's suggested construction for any compact symplectic manifold and a large class of exploded manifolds.

Extends Gromov invariant to Calabi-Yau 3-folds.

We prove that proper pseudo-holomorphic maps between strictly pseudoconvex regions in almost complex manifolds extend to the boundary. The key point is that the Jacobian is far from zero near the boundary, and the proof is mainly based on an almost complex analogue of the scaling method. We also establish a link betwee…

Study strip deformations of hyperbolic polygons with decorated vertices.

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in unbounded strips on ruled surfaces in any space dimension. We locate the essential spectrum under the condition that the strip is asymptotically flat. If the Gauss curvature of the strip equals zero, we establish the existence of discrete spectrum under the condition that the curv…

We show that a pseudo-holomorphic embedding of an almost-complex $2n$-manifold into almost-complex $(2n + 2)$-Euclidean space exists if and only if there is a CR regular embedding of the $2n$-manifold into complex $(n + 1)$-space. We remark that the fundamental group does not place any restriction on the existence of e…

We prove a flat strip theorem for 2-dimensional ptolemaic spaces.

Ancient solutions on a strip are constant if polynomial, and have finite-dimensional space for slower growth.

A smooth, compact 4-manifold with a Riemannian metric and b^(2+) > 0 has a non-trivial, closed, self-dual 2-form. If the metric is generic, then the zero set of this form is a disjoint union of circles. On the complement of this zero set, the symplectic form and the metric define an almost complex structure; and the la…

New method weaves paper strips for designing curved surfaces with elasticity.

Two new proofs of Gromov's non-squeezing theorem using curve reparametrization and gradient bounds.

Let $L$ be a Lagrangian submanifold in a symplectic vector space which is closed, oriented and spin. Using virtual fundamental chains of moduli spaces of nonconstant pseudo-holomorphic disks with boundaries on $L$, one can define a Maurer-Cartan element of a Lie bracket operation in string topology (the loop bracket) d…

A 2-category categorifies complex Lagrangians in hyperkähler manifolds.

The strip map is a natural map from the arc complex of a bordered hyperbolic surface $S$ to the vector space of infinitesimal deformations of $S$. We prove that the image of the strip map is a convex hypersurface when $S$ is a surface of small complexity: the punctured torus or thrice punctured sphere.

We prove that the asymptotic completion of a developable Möbius strip in Euclidean three-space must have at least one singular point other than cuspidal edge singularities. Moreover, if the strip contains a closed geodesic, then the number of such singular points is at least three. These lower bounds are both sharp.

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in infinite two-dimensional strips defined as uniform tubular neighbourhoods of curves on ruled surfaces. We show that the negative Gauss curvature of the ambient surface gives rise to a Hardy inequality and use this to prove certain stability of spectrum in the case of asymptoticall…

Researchers found the first and second eigenvalues are Courant-sharp on a Möbius strip.

Study on disk configurations in strips shows stability patterns.

A criterion is given for cutting out disks with ribbons from a Möbius strip.

We prove two theorems on the removal of singularities on the boundary of a pseudo-holomorphic curve. In one theorem, we need no apriori assumption on the area of the curve. The proof uses a doubling argument with the goal of converting curves with boundary to curves without boundary. Our method is new and geometric and…

All rational homology groups of unordered configuration spaces of the Moebius strip and the projective plane are calculated

A very simple $\mathbb R^3$ realization of the Möbius strip, significantly simpler than the common one, is given. For any, however large width/length ratio of the strip, it is shown that this realization, in contrast with the common one, is the union of a vertical segment and the graph of a simple rational function on …

We consider any pseudo holomorphic integral 2-cycle in an arbitrary almost complex manifold and perform a blow up analysis at an arbitrary point. Building upon a pseudo algebraic blow up (previously introduced by the author) we prove a geometric rate of decay for the mass ratio towards the limiting density, with an exp…

We construct real analytic flat Moebius strips of arbitrary isotopy types, whose centerlines are geodesics or lines of curvature.

The paper studies chambered invariants of real Cauchy-Riemann operators on Riemann surfaces.

This is the first part of a trilogy where we apply the theory of virtual manifold/orbifolds developed by the first named author and Tian to study the Gromov-Witten moduli spaces. In this paper, we resolve the main analytic issue arising from the lack of differentiability of $PSL(2, \C)$-action on spaces of $W^{1, p}$-m…

New flow category for contact manifolds from Reeb orbits.

Agents learning to act autonomously in real-world domains must acquire a model of the dynamics of the domain in which they operate. Learning domain dynamics can be challenging, especially where an agent only has partial access to the world state, and/or noisy external sensors. Even in standard STRIPS domains, existing …

Algorithm removes leaves to find root in uniform trees.

We prove that any compact almost complex manifold $(M, J)$ of real dimension $2m$ admits a pseudo-holomorphic embedding in a Euclidean space of dimension $4m + 2$, endowed with a suitable non-standard almost complex structure. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition, expressed in terms of the Segre class…

Let S be a C^2 H-minimal noncharacteristic hypersurface in the first Heisenberg group. We show that if S contains a graphical strip, then it is not a stable minimal surface. Moreover, we show that if S is a C^2 H-minimal noncharacteristic entire graph which is not itself a vertical plane, then S contains a graphical st…

Study pseudo-holomorphic disks in real analytic hypersurfaces using exterior differential systems.

We establish a product formula for Gromov-Witten invariants for closed, connected, relatively semi-positive Hamiltonian fibrations over any symplectic base. Furthermore, we show that the fibration projection induces a locally trivial (orbi-)fibration map from the moduli space of pseudo-holomorphic maps with marked poin…

New system studies trapped light paths in Euclidean space.

We prove that the envelope of meromorphy of any imbedded symplectic sphere in $CP^2$ coincides with the whole $CP^2$. As a tool for the proof we use the Gromov theory of pseudo-holomorphic curves. Several results in this subject, such as adjunction formula, smoothness of moduli space in the neighborhood of a cusp-curve…

The paper proves optimal systolic inequalities for Möbius strip and Klein bottle.

Researchers solve a Plateau problem for maximal surfaces in pseudo-hyperbolic spaces.

This is the first part of the article we promised at the end of [FOOO13, Section 1]. We discuss the foundation of the virtual fundamental chain and cycle technique, especially its version appeared in [FOn] and also in [FOOO4, Section A1, Section 7.5], [FOOO7, Section 12], [Fu2]. In Part 1, we focus on the construction …

We address the problem of reverse engineering of stripped executables, which contain no debug information. This is a challenging problem because of the low amount of syntactic information available in stripped executables, and the diverse assembly code patterns arising from compiler optimizations. We present a novel ap…

We determine p-colorability of the paradromic rings. These rings arise by generalizing the well-known experiment of bisecting a Mobius strip. Instead of joining the ends with a single half twist, use $m$ twists, and, rather than bisecting ($n = 2$), cut the strip into $n$ sections. We call the resulting collection of t…
