Proves a new skein exact triangle for real monopole Floer homology.

A formula for triangle area in Deep Sets form.

We study the geometry of the (generalized) twistor triangles $\triangle J_1J_2J_3$ in the period domain of compact complex tori of complex dimension $2n$ by the means of the representation theory of the algebras (of real dimension 8) generated by the complex structures $J_1,J_2,J_3$. Considering the period domain as th…

New deformations of lattice cohomology help calculate knot invariants.

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…

Lattice cohomology, defined by Némethi in (arXiv:0709.0841), is an invariant of negative definite plumbed 3-manifolds which conjecturally computes the Heegaard Floer homology HF^+. We prove a surgery exact triangle for the lattice cohomology analogous to the one for HF^+. This is a step towards comparing these two inva…

Traditionally introduced in terms of advanced topological constructions, many link invariants may also be defined in much simpler terms given their values on a few initial links and a recursive formula on a skein triangle. Then the crucial question to ask is how many initial values are necessary to completely determine…

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 …

We prove the existence of an exact triangle for the Pin(2)-monopole Floer homology groups of three manifolds related by specific Dehn surgeries on a given knot. Unlike the counterpart in usual monopole Floer homology, only two of the three maps are those induced by the corresponding elementary cobordism. We use this tr…

Formula found for probability of random triangles on flat tori being homotopically trivial.

On certain manifolds, the phase which appears in the scalar product of two coherent state vectors is twice the symplectic area of the geodesic triangle determined by the corresponding points on the manifold and the origin of the system of coordinates. This result is proved for compact Hermitian symmetric spaces using t…

The area of a convex projective surface of genus $g\ge 2$ is at least $(g-1)π^2/2+\|τ\|^2/8$ where $τ=(\log t_i)$ is the vector of triangle invariants of Bonahon-Dreyer and $t_i$ are the Fock-Goncharov triangle coordinates.

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

This article analyzes the interplay between symplectic geometry in dimension four and the invariants for smooth four-manifolds constructed using holomorphic triangles introduced in math.SG/0110169. Specifically, we establish a non-vanishing result for the invariants of symplectic four-manifolds, which leads to new proo…

We present several formulas for the traces of elements in complex hyperbolic triangle groups generated by complex reflections. The space of such groups of fixed signature is of real dimension one. We parameterise this space by a real invariant alpha of triangles in the complex hyperbolic plane. The main result of the p…

We consider the problem of the combinatorial computation of the first Chern class of a circle bundle. N.Mnev found such a formula in terms of canonical shellings. It represents certain invariant of a triangulation computed by analyzing cyclic word in 3-character alphabet associated to the bundle. This curvature is a ki…

We describe a general procedure to produce fundamental domains for complex hyperbolic triangle groups, a class of groups that contains a representative of the commensurability class of every known non-arithmetic lattice in ${\rm PU}(2,1)$. We discuss several commensurability invariants for lattices, and show that some …

In the theory of finite order knot invariants, the universal $\text{sl}_2$ weight system maps the chord diagrams to polynomials in a single variable with integer coefficients. In this paper, we define a family of polynomials that generalize the Kreweras triangle (known to refine the normalized median Genocchi numbers),…

Researchers link tangle invariants for Khovanov and knot Floer homologies.

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…

This paper explores the geometric and topological properties of Poncelet porism for triangles.

Conway-Gordon proved that for every spatial complete graph on 6 vertices, the sum of the linking numbers over all of the constituent 2-component links is congruent to 1 modulo 2, and for every spatial complete graph on 7 vertices, the sum of the Arf invariants over all of the Hamiltonian knots is also congruent to 1 mo…

We use some basic properties of binomial and Stirling numbers to prove that the Euler characteristic is, essentially, the unique numerical topological invariant for compact polyhedra which can be expressed as a linear combination of the numbers of faces of triangulations. We obtain this result converting it into an eig…

In this paper it is proved that relative hyperbolicity is an invariant of quasi-isometry. As a byproduct of the arguments, simplified definitions of relative hyperbolicity are obtained. In particular we obtain a new definition very similar to the one of hyperbolicity, relying on the existence for every quasi-geodesic t…

Napoleonic triangles don't exist in hyperbolic geometry.

For any three-manifold presented as surgery on a framed link (L,Λ) in an integral homology sphere, Manolescu and Ozsváth construct a hypercube of chain complexes whose homology calculates the Heegaard Floer homology of Λ-framed surgery on Y. This carries a natural filtration that exists on any hypercube of chain comple…

Paper calculates eigenvalues of a specific triangle on a sphere.

We show that the bordered-sutured Floer invariant of the complement of a tangle in an arbitrary 3-manifold $Y$, with minimal conditions on the bordered-sutured structure, satisfies an unoriented skein exact triangle. This generalizes a theorem by Manolescu for links in $S^3$. We give a theoretical proof of this result …

New surgery exact triangles in Heegaard Floer homology for rational slopes.

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.

The aim of this article is to introduce invariants of oriented, smooth, closed four-manifolds, built using the Floer homology theories defined in two earlier papers (math.SG/0101206 and math.SG/0105202). This four-dimensional theory also endows the corresponding three-dimensional theories with additional structure: an …

Study calculates eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for spherical triangles and finds fundamental gap behavior.

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…

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…

Classifies complex hyperbolic triangle groups by types.

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…
