We construct triply periodic zero mean curvature surfaces of mixed type in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space, with the same topology as the triply periodic minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space, called Schwarz rPD surfaces.

We use bifurcation theory to determine the existence of infinitely many new examples of triply periodic minimal surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$. These new examples form branches issuing from the H-family, the rPD-family, the tP-family, and the tD-family, that converge to some degenerate embedding of the families. As to nonde…

We give a uniform and elementary treatment of many classical and new triply periodic minimal surfaces in Euclidean space, based on a Schwarz-Christoffel formula for periodic polygons in the plane. Our surfaces share the property that vertical symmetry planes cut them into simply connected pieces.

We construct embedded triply periodic zero mean curvature surfaces of mixed type in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space with the same topology as the Schwarz D surface in the Euclidean 3-space.

We add two new 1-parameter families to the short list of known embedded triply periodic minimal surfaces of genus 4 in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Both surfaces can be tiled by minimal pentagons with two straight segments and three planar symmetry curves as boundary. In one case (which has the appearance of the CLP surface of Schw…

We study a problem of geometric graph theory: We determine the triply periodic graph in Euclidean 3-space which minimizes length among all graphs spanning a fundamental domain of 3-space with the same volume. The minimizer is the so-called srs network with quotient the complete graph on four vertices $K_4$. The network…

In classical differential geometry, a central question has been whether abstract surfaces with given geometric features can be realized as surfaces in Euclidean space. Inspired by the rich theory of embedded triply periodic minimal surfaces, we seek examples of triply periodic polyhedral surfaces that have an identifia…

Given a tiling $\mathcal{T}$ of the plane by straight edge polygons, which is invariant by two independent translations, we construct a family of embedded triply periodic minimal surfaces which desingularizes $\mathcal{T}\times\mathbb{R}$. For this purpose, inspired by the work of Martin Traizet, we open the nodes of s…

New method glues Scherk surfaces into minimal surfaces, limiting possible outcomes.

Researchers create new triply periodic minimal surfaces by gluing saddle towers.

We find the first examples of triply periodic minimal surfaces of which the intrinsic symmetries are all of horizontal type.

We get a continuous one-parameter new family of embedded minimal surfaces, of which the period problems are two-dimensional. Moreover, one proves that it has Scherk second surface and Hoffman-Wohlgemuth example as limit-members.

Paper defines linking numbers for periodic tangles.

We describe a new family of triply-periodic minimal surfaces with hexagonal symmetry, related to the quartz (qtz) and its dual (the qzd net). We provide a solution to the period problem and provide a parametrisation of these surfaces, that are not in the regular class, by the Weierstrass-Enneper formalism. We identifie…

In this paper, we will construct an example of a closed Riemann surface $X$ that can be realized as a quotient of a triply periodic polyhedral surface $Π\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ where the Weierstrass points of $X$ coincide with the vertices of $Π.$ First we construct $Π$ by attaching Platonic solids in a periodic manner a…

Weaved helices form mechanically stable 3D structures.

In the previous work, the first author established an algorithm to compute the Morse index and the nullity of an $n$-periodic minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In fact, the Morse index can be translated into the number of negative eigenvalues of a real symmetric matrix and the nullity can be translated into the number…

We explain the correspondences between twisted monopoles with Dirac type singularity and polystable twisted mini-holomorphic bundles with Dirac type singularity on a 3-dimensional torus. We also explain that they are equivalent to polystable parabolic twisted difference modules on elliptic curves.

We present a technique for the enumeration of all isotopically distinct ways of tiling a hyperbolic surface of finite genus, possibly nonorientable and with punctures and boundary. This provides a generalization of the enumeration of Delaney-Dress combinatorial tiling theory on the basis of isotopic tiling theory. To a…

New diagrams classify triply periodic entanglements.

Paper constructs and proves existence of chiral triply-periodic minimal surfaces.

We are introducing a general framework for the construction of polyhedra and simplicial comlexes that are {\em bifoldable}, i.e. foldable into two two different planes. This vastly generalizes Origami folds known as the Miura pattern, the Eggbox pattern. After describing the framework and its basic features, we give se…

For each braid $β\in Br_n$ we construct a $2$-periodic complex $\mathbb{S}_β$ of quasi-coherent $\mathbb{C}^*\times \mathbb{C}^*$-equivariant sheaves on the non-commutative nested Hilbert scheme $Hilb_{1,n}^{free}$. We show that the triply graded vector space of the hypecohomology $ \mathbb{H}( \mathbb{S}_β\otimes \wed…

We prove the existence of a new 2-parameter family o$Δ$ of embedded triply periodic minimal surfaces of genus 3. The new surfaces share many properties with classical orthorhombic deformations of Schwarz' D surface, but also exotic in many ways. In particular, they do not belong to Meeks' five-dimensional family. Never…

Given a closed flat 3-torus $N$, for each $H>0$ and each non-negative integer $g$, we obtain area estimates for closed surfaces with genus $g$ and constant mean curvature $H$ embedded in $N$. This result contrasts with the theorem of Traizet [33], who proved that every flat 3-torus admits for every positive integer $g$…

This study investigates porosity and topological properties of TPMS using machine learning.

We use algebraic Backlund transformations (BTs) to construct explicit solutions of the modified 2+1 chiral model from $T^2\times R$ to SU(n), where $T^2$ is a 2-torus. Algebraic BTs are parameterized by $z\in C$ (poles) and holomorphic maps $π$ from $T^2$ to Gr$(k,C^n)$. We apply Bäcklund transformations with carefully…

Discuss Alan Schoen's I-WP minimal surface with geometric realizations.

We provide an existence proof for two 1-parameter families of embedded triply periodic minimal surfaces of genus three, namely the tG family with tetragonal symmetry that contains the gyroid, and the rGL family with rhombohedral symmetry that contains the gyroid and the Lidinoid, both discovered numerically in the 1990…

We trade matrix factorizations and Koszul complexes for Hochschild homology of Soergel bimodules to modify the construction of triply-graded link homology and relate it to Kazhdan-Lusztig theory.

Computes a specific homology for a type of braid.

Study reveals striking uniformity in triply graded link homology for specific braids.

The classical H surfaces of H. A. Schwarz form a 1-parameter family of triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) that are usually described as close relatives to his more famous P surface. However, a crucial distinction between these surfaces is that the P surface belongs to a 5-dimensional smooth family of embedded TPMS…

The asymptotic behavior of open plane sections of triply periodic surfaces is dictated, for an open dense set of plane directions, by an integer second homology class of the three-torus. The dependence of this homology class on the direction can have a rather rich structure, leading in special cases to a fractal. In th…

We propose a framework for unifying the sl(N) Khovanov-Rozansky homology (for all N) with the knot Floer homology. We argue that this unification should be accomplished by a triply graded homology theory which categorifies the HOMFLY polynomial. Moreover, this theory should have an additional formal structure of a fami…

We define a deformation of the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of a link $L$ depending on a choice of parameters $y_c$ for each component of $L$, which satisfies link-splitting properties similar to the Batson-Seed invariant. Keeping the $y_c$ as formal variables yields a link homology valued in triply graded …

Categorifies Jones polynomial for odd primes.

In this paper, we describe a canopolis (i.e. categorified planar algebra) formalism for Khovanov and Rozansky's link homology theory. We show how this allows us to organize simplifications in the matrix factorizations appearing in their theory. In particular, it will put the equivalence of the original definition of Kh…

Categorifies colored Jones polynomial at roots of unity.

Every closed hyperbolic geodesic $γ$ on the triply--punctured sphere $M =\widehat{\mathbb C} - \{0,1,\infty\}$ has a self--intersection number $I(γ) \ge 1$ and a combinatorial length $L(γ) \ge 2$, the latter defined by the number of times $γ$ passes through the upper halfplane. In this paper we show that $δ(γ) = I(γ) -…

Cobordisms are naturally bigraded and we show that this grading extends to Khovanov homology, making it a triply graded theory. Although the new grading does not make the homology a stronger invariant, it can be used to show that odd Khovanov homology is multiplicative with respect to disjoint unions and connected sums…

We report some minimal surfaces that can be seen as copies of a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) related by reflections in parallel mirrors. We call them minimal twin surfaces for the resemblance with twin crystal. Brakke's Surface Evolver is employed to construct twinnings of various classical TPMS, including Sc…

We compute the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of a family of links, including positive torus links and $\operatorname{Sym}^l$-colored torus knots.

Transforming cylindrical packings into bicontinuous surfaces.

We modify the definition of the Khovanov complex for oriented links in a thickening of an oriented surface to obtain a triply graded homological link invariant with a new homotopical grading.

We provide a generalization of Bianchi's triply conjugate systems containing a family of deformations of 2-dimensional quadrics together with its Bäcklund transformation to higher dimensions.

This paper proves a conjecture about knot homologies.

We propose a robust regression approach to off-policy evaluation (OPE) for contextual bandits. We frame OPE as a covariate-shift problem and leverage modern robust regression tools. Ours is a general approach that can be used to augment any existing OPE method that utilizes the direct method. When augmenting doubly rob…
