The Farey tree helps embed rational balls and lens spaces into complex projective space.

method Recursive Kirby calculus argument using the Farey tree.
result Explicit constructions of embeddings of triples of rational homology balls into homotopy CP2\mathbb{CP}^2.

This paper gives new and elementary combinatorial topological proofs of the classification of unoriented and oriented rational knots and links. These proofs are based on the known classification of alternating knots through flyping, and the calculus of continued fractions. We characterize the class of strongly invertib…

We give an overview of how calculus of the embedding functor can be used for the study of long knots and summarize various results connecting the calculus approach to the rational homotopy type of spaces of long knots, collapse of the Vassiliev spectral sequence, Hochschild homology of the Poisson operad, finite type k…

The rational homology balls BnB_n appeared in Fintushel and Stern's rational blow-down construction [FS] and were subsequently used (e.g. Fintushel-Stern[FS4], Park[Pa2]) to construct exotic smooth manifolds with small Euler numbers. We show that a large class of smooth 4-manifolds have all of the BnB_n's for odd $n \g…

Sparse Bayesian learning improves rational approximations for complex-valued models.

problem Efficiently approximate complex-valued models with high non-linearity.
method Sparse Bayesian learning applied to rational approximation of complex-valued models.
result Sparse Bayesian learning reduces computational cost while maintaining accuracy.

Harer, Kas and Kirby have conjectured that every handle decomposition of the elliptic surface E(1)2,3E(1)_{2,3} requires both 1- and 3-handles. In this article, we construct a smooth 4-manifold which has the same Seiberg-Witten invariant as E(1)2,3E(1)_{2,3} and admits neither 1- nor 3-handles, by using rational blow-downs and K…

We study American swaptions in the linear-rational (LR) term structure model introduced in [5]. The American swaption pricing problem boils down to an optimal stopping problem that is analytically tractable. It reduces to a free-boundary problem that we tackle by the local time-space calculus of [7]. We characterize th…

We show that there are links whose individual components are concordant to the unknot, but which are not concordant to any link with unknotted components. We give examples in the topological category, and examples in the smooth category which are topologically slice. We also give generalizations regarding components of…

We give a new geometric obstruction to the iterated Bing double of a knot being a slice link: for n>1 the (n+1)-st iterated Bing double of a knot is rationally slice if and only if the n-th iterated Bing double of the knot is rationally slice. The main technique of the proof is a covering link construction simplifying …

The paper calculates heat kernel and closed geodesic asymptotics for nilpotent coverings.

problem Heat kernel and closed geodesic asymptotics for nilpotent coverings.
method Finite-dimensional rational Floquet-Bloch theory, Pytlik functional, and spectral sums.
result Genuinely local, pointwise higher-order heat-kernel expansions.

This article surveys the use of configuration space integrals in the study of the topology of knot and link spaces. The main focus is the exposition of how these integrals produce finite type invariants of classical knots and links. More generally, we also explain the construction of a chain map, given by configuration…

This thesis constructs families of arcs in 4-manifolds and analyzes their homotopy properties.

problem Analyzing the homotopy properties of families of embedded arcs in 4-manifolds.
method Using embedding calculus and diagrammatic frameworks inspired by cubical ω-groupoids, the thesis constructs and analyzes families of embedded arcs.
result The family G(p,q,r)G(p,q,r) is trivial in π3T3Emb(I,M)π_3T_3\mathsf{Emb}_\partial(I,M) but conjectured to be non-trivial in π3T4Emb(I,M)π_3T_4\mathsf{Emb}_\partial(I,M).

We describe rules for building 2d theories labeled by 4-manifolds. Using the proposed dictionary between building blocks of 4-manifolds and 2d N=(0,2) theories, we obtain a number of results, which include new 3d N=2 theories T[M_3] associated with rational homology spheres and new results for Vafa-Witten partition fun…

Study geometric characterization of asymptotic pseudodifferential calculus on spinor bundles.

problem Geometric characterization of asymptotic pseudodifferential calculus on spinor bundles.
method Groupoid approach to pseudodifferential calculus, rescaled bundle.
result Rescaled bundle provides geometric characterization to asymptotic pseudodifferential calculus on spinor bundles.

We explain that general differential calculus and Lie theory have a common foundation: Lie Calculus is differential calculus, seen from the point of view of Lie theory, by making use of the groupoid concept as link between them. Higher order theory naturally involves higher algebra (n-fold groupoids).(conceptual, topol…

result Differential calculus on PDE solution spaces is homotopy calculus on horizontal De Rham algebras of diffieties.

In arXiv:1207.0332 [cs.LO] was proposed a graphic lambda calculus formalism, which has sectors corresponding to untyped lambda calculus and emergent algebras. Here we explore the sector covering knot diagrams, which are constructed as macros over the graphic lambda calculus.

We examine the N-Koszul calculus for the N-symmetric algebras. The case N=2 corresponds to the Elie Cartan calculus. We conjecture that, as in the case N=2, the N-Cartan calculus extends to manifolds when N>2, which would provide a new type of noncommutative differential geometry.

Euler calculus is based on integrating simple functions with respect to the Euler characteristic. This paper makes the case for extending Euler calculus to continuous integrands by integrating with respect to (Gaussian) curvature. This requires a metric but is nevertheless defined within any O-minimal theory. It satisf…

The calculus correspondence has been known to exist between generic pedal evolutions and generic wave front evolutions. In this paper, we first extend the known results on the calculus correspondence to evolutions with multi-parameters, and then give applications of calculus correspondence. Moreover, we discuss the pos…
