We prove a folklore theorem of W. Thurston which provides necessary and sufficient conditions for primality of a certain class of theta-curves. Namely, a theta-curve in the 3-sphere with an unknotted constituent knot U is prime if and only if lifting the third arc of the theta-curve to the double branched cover over U …

We prove an optimal systolic inequality for nonpositively curved Dyck's surfaces.

In this paper, we study on knots and closed incompressible surfaces in the 3-sphere via Morse functions.

As an application, we have following results. *Smallness of Montesinos tangles with lengt…

We propose a new approach to the value distribution theory of entire holomorphic curves. We define a ``packing density'' of an entire holomorphic curve, and show that it has various non-trivial properties.

We investigate the action of the automorphism group of a closed Riemann surface on its set of theta characteristics (or spin structures). We give criteria for when an automorphism fixes all spin structures, or when it fixes just one. The case of hyperelliptic curves and of the Klein quartic are discussed in detail.

We extend the coherent state transform (CST) of Hall to the context of the moduli spaces of semistable holomorphic vector bundles with fixed determinant over elliptic curves.

The Kinoshita graph is the most famous example of a Brunnian theta graph, a nontrivial spatial theta graph with the property that removing any edge yields an unknot.
