Polynomials' roots count tied to surface umbilics.

By a theorem of A'Campo, the eigenvalues of certain Coxeter transformations are positive real or lie on the unit circle. By optimally bounding the signature of tree-like positive Hopf plumbings from below by the genus, we prove that at least two thirds of them lie on the unit circle. In contrast, we show that for divid…

We prove that the set of smooth, $π$-periodic, positive functions on the unit circle for which the $L_{-2}$ Minkowski problem is solvable is dense in the set of all smooth, $π$-periodic, positive functions on the unit circle with respect to the $L^{\infty}$ norm. Furthermore, we obtain a necessary condition on the solv…

Given a matrix $A\in SL(N,\Z)$, form the semidirect product $G=\Z^N\rtimes_A \Z$ where the $\Z$ factor acts on $\Z^N$ by $A$. Such a $G$ arises naturally as the fundamental group of an $N$-dimensional torus bundle which fibers over the circle. In this paper we prove that if $A$ has distinct eigenvalues not lying on the…

We give a short proof of the fact that bounded earthquakes of the unit disk induce quasisymmetric maps of the unit circle. By a similar method, we show that symmetric maps are induced by bounded earthquakes with asymptotically trivial measures.

Develops diffusion models for time-varying correlation on the circle.

Eta invariant computed for circle bundles over Fano manifolds.

In this paper we investigate free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball in Euclidean 3-space, and by using holomorphic techniques we prove that intersection curves of free boundary minimal surfaces with the unit sphere are all circles.

Asymptotics for equidistribution of circles on hyperbolic surfaces.

Given any smooth fibration of the unit 3-sphere by great circles, we show that the distribution of 2-planes orthogonal to the great circle fibres is a tight contact structure, a fact well known in the special case of the Hopf fibrations. The proof expresses hypothesis and conclusion as differential inequalities involvi…

The study explores continuous noncrossing partitions and their relation to weighted circular factorizations.

New inequality on sphere generalizes circle inequality.

We classify all Kahler metrics in an open subset of $C^2$ whose real geodesics are circles. All such metrics are equivalent (via complex projective transformations) to Fubini metrics (i.e. to Fubini-Study metric on $CP^2$ restricted to an affine chart, to the complex hyperbolic metric in the unit ball model or to the E…

Study on curve diffusion flows with scale-critical curvature term.

Let $Φ\colon \sbat \times M \to M$ be a smooth action of the unit circle $ \sbat$ on a manifold $M$. In this work, we compute the minimal model of $M$ in terms of the orbit space $B$ and the fixed point set $F\subset B$, as a dg-module over the Sullivan's minimal model of $B$.

Constructs minimal surfaces near the boundary of a ball.

We determine for which complex numbers on the unit circle the Levine-Tristram signature and the nullity give rise to link concordance invariants.

We deal with minimal surfaces in the unit sphere $S^3$, which are one-parameter families of circles. Minimal surfaces in $\R^3$ foliated by circles were first investigated by Riemann, and a hundred years later Lawson constructed examples of such surfaces in $S^3$. We prove that in $S^3$ there are only two types of mini…

An embedding of the group $\Diff(S^{1})$ of orientation preserving diffeomorphims of the unit circle $S^1$ into an infinite-dimensional symplectic group, $\Sp(\infty)$, is studied. The authors prove that this embedding is not surjective. A Brownian motion is constructed on $\Sp(\infty)$. This study is motivated by rece…

Knots in circle bundles are uniquely identified by their complements.

We investigate the classification of topological quandles on some simple manifolds. Precisely we classify all Alexander quandle structures, up to isomorphism, on the real line and the unit circle. For the closed unit interval $[0, 1]$, we conjecture that there exists only one topological quandle structure on it, i.e. t…

In this paper, it is shown that any surface automorphism of positive mapping-class entropy possesses a virtual homological eigenvalue which lies outside the unit circle of the complex plane.

The signature function of a knot is an integer-valued step function on the unit circle in the complex plane. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a function to be the signature function of a knot are presented.

The main result of this paper is an effective count for Apollonian circle packings that are either bounded or contain two parallel lines. We obtain this by proving an effective equidistribution of closed horospheres in the unit tangent bundle of a geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifold of infinite volume, whose fun…

We compute the Szego kernel of the unit circle bundle of a negative line bundle dual to a regular quantum line bundle over a compact Kaehler manifold. As a corollary we provide an infinite family of smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains on complex manifolds (disk bundles over homogeneous Hodge manifolds) for w…

Extends Fatou theorem to bounded harmonic maps.

It is a classical theorem of Loewner that the systole of a Riemannian torus can be bounded in terms of its area. We answer a question of a similar flavor of Robert Young showing that if $T$ is a Riemannian 2-torus with boundary in $\mathbb R ^n$, such that the boundary curve is a standard unit circle, then the length o…

The signature function of a knot is a locally constant integer valued function with domain the unit circle. The jumps (i.e., the discontinuities) of the signature function can occur only at the roots of the Alexander polynomial on the unit circle. The latter are important in deforming U(1) representations of knot group…

The central problem of strip theory is the calculation of potential flowaround 2D sections. One particular method of solutions to this problem is conformal mapping of the body section to the unit circle over which a solution of potential flow is available. Here, a new multiparameter conformal mapping method is presente…

Following the lines of a celebrated result by R. Bott (Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 9, 1956) we study the Morse index of the iterated of a closed geodesic in stationary Lorentzian manifolds, or, more generally, of a closed Lorentzian geodesic that admits a timelike periodic Jacobi field. Given one such closed geodesic $γ$, w…

A positive path in the linear symplectic group $\Sp(2n)$ is a smooth path which is everywhere tangent to the positive cone. These paths are generated by negative definite (time-dependent) quadratic Hamiltonian functions on Euclidean space. A special case are autonomous positive paths, which are generated by time-indepe…

We prove an asymptotic bound on the eta invariant of a family of coupled Dirac operators on an odd dimensional manifold. In the case when the manifold is the unit circle bundle of a positive line bundle over a complex manifold, we obtain precise formulas for the eta invariant.

In this paper, we study the relations between the log term of the Szegö kernel of the unit circle bundle of the dual line bundle of an ample line bundle over a compact Kählermanifold. We proved a local rigidity theorem. The result is related to the classical Ramadanov Conjecture.

Consider an unknown smooth function $f: [0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, and say we are given $n$ noisy$\mod 1$ samples of $f$, i.e., $y_i = (f(x_i) + η_i)\mod 1$ for $x_i \in [0,1]$, where $η_i$ denotes noise. Given the samples $(x_i,y_i)_{i=1}^{n}$ our goal is to recover smooth, robust estimates of the clean samples $f…

Let $f\colon \mathbb{S}^1\rightarrow G$ be a surjective map from the standard unit circle to a graph $G$ such that the pre-image of each point has diameter less than $\varepsilon$. If $\varepsilon$ is small enough, does $f$ split as a free factor in $π_1(G)$?

We introduce a structure of an infinite-dimensional Frobenius manifold on a subspace in the space of pairs of functions analytic inside/outside the unit circle with simple poles at 0/infinity respectively. The dispersionless 2D Toda equations are embedded into a bigger integrable hierarchy associated with this Frobeniu…

We consider a closed orientable Riemannian 3-manifold $(M,g)$ and a vector field $X$ with unit norm whose integral curves are geodesics of $g$. Any such vector field determines naturally a 2-plane bundle contained in the kernel of the contact form of the geodesic flow of $g$. We study when this 2-plane bundle remains i…
