This note shows that if two elements of equal trace (e.g., conjugate elements) generate an arithmetic two-bridge knot or link group, then the elements are parabolic. This includes the figure-eight knot and Whitehead link groups. Similarly, if two conjugate elements generate the trefoil knot group, then the elements are…

Classifies reversible and strongly reversible elements in quaternionic groups.

Two elements generate all mappings of a nonorientable surface.

Wajnryb proved that the mapping class group of an orientable surface is generated by two elements. We prove that one of these generators can be taken as a Dehn twist. We also prove that the extended mapping class group is generated by two elements, again one of which is a Dehn twist. Another result we prove is that the…

New findings on generating mapping class groups with specific torsion elements.

We show that the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface of genus at least three is generated by 3 elements of order 3 and by 4 elements of order 4. Note that the mapping class group cannot be generated by finitely many torsion elements of same order if genus is equal to one or two.

Let $S_g$ be the closed oriented surface of genus g and let $\text{Mod}^{\pm}(S_g)$ be the extended mapping class group of $S_g$. When the genus is at least 5, we prove that $\text{Mod}^{\pm}(S_g)$ can be generated by two torsion elements. One of these generators is an order 2 element, and the other one is an order 4g+…

We prove that a ``bouillabaisse'' surface (translation surface which has two transverse parabolic elements) has totally real trace field. As a corollary, non trivial Veech groups which have no parabolic elements do exist. The proof follows Veech's viewpoint on Thurston's construction of pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphisms.

The paper classifies reversible and strongly reversible elements in Hermitian isometry groups.

An algorithm is proposed that solves two decision problems for pseudo-Anosov elements in the mapping class group of a surface with at least one marked fixed point. The first problem is the root problem: decide if the element is a power and in this case compute the roots. The second problem is the symmetry problem: deci…

Proves resurgence properties for Habiro elements from radial limits of theta series.

New findings on generating mapping class groups of nonorientable surfaces.

It is proven here that if the connected sum of two tunnel number one knots in the 3-sphere is a tunnel number two knot, then at least one of the summand knots has a genus two Heegaard splitting with a meridian as a primitive element. Hence this is a necessary and sufficient condition for tunnel number one knots to have…

Paper solves convertible bond valuation using finite elements with penalty method.

Let Gamma be a group generated by two positive multi-twists. We give some sufficient conditions for Gamma to be free or have no `unexpectedly reducible' elements. For a group Gamma generated by two Dehn twists, we classify the elements in Gamma which are multi-twists. As a consequence we are able to list all the lanter…

We prove that for genus $g=3,4$, the extended mapping class group $\text{Mod}^{\pm}(S_g)$ can be generated by two elements of finite orders. But for $g=1$, $\text{Mod}^{\pm}(S_1)$ cannot be generated by two elements of finite orders.

Persistent elements are ubiquitous in knot groups, especially for hyperbolic knots.

We observe that a sharp result on the exponential growth rate of the number of primitive elements exists for the free group on two generators.

We show that mapping class groups of surfaces of genus at least two contain elements of infinite order that are not conjugate to their inverses, but whose powers have bounded torsion lengths. In particular every homogeneous quasi-homomorphism vanishes on such an element, showing that elements of infinite order not conj…

Random walks on metric spaces embed quasi-isometrically into the space.

Constructs Poisson structures on gauge orbits of Maurer-Cartan elements.

New loxodromic elements found in infinite-type surfaces.

In the quatenions ($\H$, $\H'$, $\H^{C}$) and octonions ($\gC$, $\gC^\prime$, $\gC^C$), we show some results on the conjugacy of two pure imaginary non-zero elements with same norm.

We characterise the canonical elements, in the sense of Burstall--Rawnsley \cite{BurRaw90}, of a compact semisimple Lie algebra and discuss the case of $\mathfrak{so}(n)$ in detail. In so doing, we correct two errors in Burstall et al. \cite{BurEscFerTri04}.

In this article we relate two different densities. Let $F_k$ be the free group of finite rank $k \ge 2$ and let $α$ be the abelianization map from $F_k$ onto $\mathbb{Z}^k$. We prove that if $S \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^k$ is invariant under the natural action of $SL(k, \mathbb{Z})$ then the asymptotic density of $S$ in $\…

Jones constructs knots from Thompson group elements.

Two free homotopy classes of closed curves in an orientable surface with negative Euler characteristic are said to be length equivalent if for any hyperbolic structure on the surface, the length of the geodesic in one class is equal to the length of the geodesic in the other class. We show that there are elements in th…

Let $G$ be a group. An element $g$ in $G$ is called reversible if it is conjugate to $g^{-1}$ within $G$, and called strongly reversible if it is conjugate to its inverse by an order two element of $G$. Let $\textbf{H}_{\mathbb H}^n$ be the $n$-dimensional quaternionic hyperbolic space. Let $\mathrm{PSp}(n,1)$ be the i…

Let $(\mathcal{V},\mathcal{W};F)$ be a weakly reducible, unstabilized, Heegaard splitting of genus at least three in an orientable, irreducible $3$-manifold $M$. Then $Mod(M,F)$ naturally acts on the disk complex $\mathcal{D}(F)$ as a group action. In this article, we prove if $F$ is topologically minimal and its topol…

EPGP surrogate outperforms finite elements in solving wave equations.

This article presents a finite element method (FEM) for a partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) to price two-asset options with underlying price processes modeled by an exponential Levy process. We provide a variational formulation in a weighted Sobolev space, and establish existence and uniqueness of the FEM-ba…

Constructs finite element spaces for $(p,q)$-forms, excluding one subspace.

We consider interactive algorithms in the pool-based setting, and in the stream-based setting. Interactive algorithms observe suggested elements (representing actions or queries), and interactively select some of them and receive responses. Pool-based algorithms can select elements at any order, while stream-based algo…

We classify the groups quasi-isometric to a group generated by finite-order elements within the class of one-ended hyperbolic groups which are not Fuchsian and whose JSJ decomposition over two-ended subgroups does not contain rigid vertex groups. To do this, we characterize which JSJ trees of a group in this class admi…

We consider $n$-dimensional discrete motions such that any two neighbouring positions correspond in a pure rotation ("rotating motions"). In the Study quadric model of Euclidean displacements these motions correspond to quadrilateral nets with edges contained in the Study quadric ("rotation nets"). The main focus of ou…

New torsion patterns found in Khovanov homology of link diagrams.

This paper studies parabolic quasi-Coxeter elements in complex reflection groups and their combinatorial properties.

I construct an algebraic model for a typical fiber on a 1+1 dimensional spacetime. The vector space comprising the fiber is composed of elements formed from the direct product of two copies of an element x in the D2=C2xC2 finite group algebra over the real numbers. The fiber contains subspaces whose elements are associ…

The study finds infinitely many hyperbolic 3-manifolds with large rank and generalized torsion elements.

Origin-destination (OD) matrices are often used in urban planning, where a city is partitioned into regions and an element (i, j) in an OD matrix records the cost (e.g., travel time, fuel consumption, or travel speed) from region i to region j. In this paper, we partition a day into multiple intervals, e.g., 96 15-min …
