result Existence of triharmonic maps from Rm∖{0} into spheres. We discuss the constant σ2 problem for conic 4-spheres.

In particular, when the condition is sharp, we have the uniqueness result similar to that of Troyanov in dimension 2. It indicat…
In this paper, we determine geometric information on slope lengths of a large class of knots in the 3-sphere, based only on diagrammatical properties of the knots.
