Complex hyperbolic triangle groups were first considered by Mostow in building the first nonarithmetic lattices in PU(2, 1). They are a natural generalization of the classical triangle groups acting on the hyperbolic plane. A well-known theorem of Takeuchi is that there are only finitely many Fuchsian triangle groups t…

We establish the equivalence of the Tuynman midpoint area formula for a spherical triangle to the classical area formulas of Euler and of Cagnoli. The derivation also yields a variant of the Cagnoli formula in terms of the medial triangle. We introduce the three barycentric coordinates of a point within the spherical t…

We establish the exact triangle in Seiberg-Witten-Floer theory relating the monopoloe homologies of any two closed 3-manifolds which are obtained from each other by $\pm 1$-surgery. We also show that the sum of the modified version of the Seiberg-Witten invariants for any closed rational homology 3-sphere $Y$ over all …

Some aspects of the construction of SW Floer homology for manifolds with non-trivial rational homology are analyzed. In particular, the case of manifolds that are obtained as zero-surgery on a knot in a homology sphere, and for torsion spinc structures. We discuss relative invariants in the case of torsion spinc struct…

Recently, it has been shown that the Jones polynomial, in [LS19], and the Alexander polynomial, in [NT18], of rational knots can be obtained by specializing $F$-polynomials of cluster variables. At the core of both results are continued fractions, which parameterize rational knots and are used to obtain cluster variabl…

This work extends knot homology theory to links, proving exact triangles and categorifying link signatures.

Markov's theorem classifies the worst irrational numbers with respect to rational approximation and the indefinite binary quadratic forms whose values for integer arguments stay farthest away from zero. The main purpose of this paper is to present a new proof of Markov's theorem using hyperbolic geometry. The main ingr…

We iterate Manolescu's unoriented skein exact triangle in knot Floer homology with coefficients in the field of rational functions over $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. The result is a spectral sequence which converges to a stabilized version of delta-graded knot Floer homology. The $(E_2,d_2)$ page of this spectral sequence …

We use Floer's exact triangle to study the u-map (cup product with the 4-dimensional class) in the Floer cohomology groups of admissible SO(3) bundles over closed, oriented 3-manifolds. In the case of non-trivial bundles we show that (u^2-64)^n = 0 for some positive integer n. For homology 3-spheres Y the same holds fo…

With the renewed and growing interest in geometric continuity in mind, this article gives a general definition of geometrically continuous polygonal surfaces and geometrically continuous spline functions on them. Polynomial splines defined by G1 gluing data in terms of rational functions are analyzed further. A general…

We answer the question "Does the Y-triangle move preserve intrinsic knottedness?" in the negative by giving an example of a graph that is obtained from the intrinsically knotted graph K_7 by triangle-Y and Y-triangle moves but is not intrinsically knotted.

We show that the triangle with angles Pi/12, Pi/3 and 7*Pi/12 has the lattice property and compute this triangle's Veech group.

We study side-lengths of triangles in path metric spaces. We prove that unless such a space X is bounded, or quasi-isometric to line or half-line, every triple of real numbers satisfying the strict triangle inequalities, is realized by the side-lengths of a triangle in X. We construct an example of a complete path metr…

Two triples of triangles having pairwise disjoint outlines in 3-space are called combinatorially isotopic if one triple can be obtained from the other by a continuous motion during which the outlines of the triangles remain pairwise disjoint. We conjecture that it can be algorithmically checked if an (ordered or unorde…

New method proves mateability of triangle groups with Blaschke products.

In this paper we study the area of ideals triangles in a convex domain with its Hilbert geometry. We obtain a characterization of the hyperbolic geometry among all the Hilbert geometry in terms of area of ideals triangles. We also obtain a sharp lower bound on the hilbert area of ideal triangles, independant of the con…

Given an involution on a rational homology 3-sphere $Y$ with quotient the $3$-sphere, we prove a formula for the Lefschetz number of the map induced by this involution in the reduced monopole Floer homology. This formula is motivated by a variant of Witten's conjecture relating the Donaldson and Seiberg--Witten invaria…

In Lorentzian geometry, limited definition of angles restricts the use of angle bisectors in study of triangles. This paper redefines angle bisectors so that they can be used to study attributes of triangles. Using the new definition, this paper investigates the existence of the incenter and the isogonal conjugate of a…

Given a closed polygon P having n edges, embedded in R^d, we give upper and lower bounds for the minimal number of triangles t needed to form a triangulated PL surface in R^d having P as its geometric boundary. The most interesting case is dimension 3, where the polygon may be knotted. We use the Seifert suface constru…
