Research shows how certain flat structures behave in specific convex domains.

3-manifolds can be virtually dominated by maps of degree 8.

In this note, we compute the virtual first Betti numbers of 4-manifolds fibering over $S^1$ with prime fiber. As an application, we show that if such a manifold is symplectic with nonpositive Kodaira dimension, then the fiber itself is a sphere or torus bundle over $S^1$. In a different direction, we prove that if the …

Homology growth of specific mapping tori vanishes for certain groups.

Proves conjecture for hyperbolic-by-cyclic groups using geometric methods.

Non-coherence proven for certain groups with specific mapping tori.

We apply representation theory to study the homology of equivariant Dehn-fillings of a given finite, regular cover of a compact 3-manifold with boundary a torus. This yields a polynomial which gives the rank of the part of the homology carried by the solid tori used for Dehn-filling. The polynomial is a symmetrized for…

We use the Bar-Natan Zh-correspondence to identify the generalized Alexander polynomial of a virtual knot with the Alexander polynomial of a two component welded link. We show that the Zh-map is functorial under concordance, and also that Satoh's Tube map (from welded links to ribbon knotted tori in $S^4$) is functoria…

Given a reducible $3$-manifold $M$ with an aspherical summand in its prime decomposition and a homeomorphism $f\colon M\to M$, we construct a map of degree one from a finite cover of $M\rtimes_f S^1$ to a mapping torus of a certain aspherical $3$-manifold. We deduce that $M\rtimes_f S^1$ has virtually infinite first Be…

Study symplectic fillings of lens spaces, focusing on virtually overtwisted contact structures.

Outer space and Teichmüller space fail well-rounded retract analogy.

We prove that any mapping torus of a closed 3-manifold has zero simplicial volume. When the fiber is a prime 3-manifold, classification results can be applied to show vanishing of the simplicial volume, however the case of reducible fibers is by far more subtle. We thus analyse the possible self-homeomorphisms of reduc…

This note investigates the so-called Tube map which connects welded knots, that is a quotient of the virtual knot theory, to ribbon torus-knots, that is a restricted notion of fillable knotted tori in the 4-sphere. It emphasizes the fact that ribbon torus-knots with a given filling are in one-to-one correspondence with…

We give three infinite families of examples of nonhyperbolic Dehn fillings on hyperbolic manifolds. A manifold in the first family admits two Dehn fillings of distance two apart, one of which is toroidal and annular, and the other is reducible and $\partial$-reducible. A manifold in the second family has boundary consi…

The reduced peripheral system was introduced by Milnor in the fifties for the study of links up to link-homotopy, i.e. up to isotopies and crossing changes within each link component. However, for four or more components, this invariant does not yield a complete link-homotopy invariant. This paper provides two characte…

We define the notion of a knot type having Legendrian large cables and show that having this property implies that the knot type is not uniformly thick. Moreover, there are solid tori in this knot type that do not thicken to a solid torus with integer sloped boundary torus, and that exhibit new phenomena; specifically,…

Characterizes conformal classes of tori using differential geometry.

Study finds non-isotopic transverse tori in Engel manifolds.

We study square-tiled tori, that is, tori obtained from a finite collection of unit squares by parallel side identifications. Square-tiled tori can be parametrized in a natural way that allows to count the number of square-tiled tori tiled by a given number of square tiles. There is a natural $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbf{Z})…

New findings on isospectral tori and harmonic maps between flat tori.

Constructs flows of tori in sphere perturbations for Morse homology.

We prove that the conformal immersions of complex two tori into $S^3$ which locally minimize their conformal volume in their conformal class all satisfy some elliptic PDE. We prove that they are either minimal tori, CMC flat tori, elliptic conformally constrained minimal tori or critical point of the area under some fi…

New virtualized Δ-move simplifies virtual knots and links.

We consider proper-biharmonic flat tori with constant mean curvature (CMC) in spheres and find necessary and sufficient conditions for certain rectangular tori and square tori to admit full CMC proper-biharmonic immersions in $\mathbb{S}^n$, as well as the explicit expressions of some of these immersions.

Virtual index cocycles reformulate virtual link invariants.

The Clifford torus is a torus in a three-dimensional sphere. Homogeneous tori are simple generalization of the Clifford torus which still in a three-dimensional sphere. There is a way to construct tori in a three-dimensional sphere using the Hopf fibration. In this paper, all Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian tori whic…

The paper studies strict equivalence in multi-virtual linkoids with new invariants.

For all positive integers n we construct a 1-parameter family of conformal tori of revolution in the 3-sphere with n bulges. These tori arise by Darboux transformations of constant mean curvature tori but do not have constant mean curvature in the 3-sphere.

Otsuki tori form a countable family of immersed minimal two-dimensional tori in the unitary three-dimensional sphere. According to El Soufi-Ilias theorem, the metrics on the Otsuki tori are extremal for some unknown eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. Despite the fact that the Otsuki tori are defined in quite…

Smooth tori in S^4 are topologically unknotted.

In \cite{BSV}, Borisov, Salamon and Viaclovsky constructed non-standard orthogonal complex structures on flat tori $T^{2n}_{\mathbb R}$ for any $n\geq 3$. We will call these examples BSV-tori. In this note, we show that on a flat $6$-torus, all the orthogonal complex structures are either the complex tori or the BSV-to…

Engel manifolds show transverse tori can be made to have various formal invariants.

We show that for $m>n\geq 2$, there are at least two exact isotropic $n$-tori in $\mathbb{C}^m$ which are not Hamiltonian isotopic in $\mathbb{C}^m$, even though they are smoothly isotopic as isotropic $n$-tori. We apply this discovery to obtain more distinct non-exact isotropic tori in $\mathbb{C}^m$.

We present a deformation for constant mean curvature tori in the 3-sphere. We show that the moduli space of equivariant constant mean curvature tori in the 3-sphere is connected, and we classify the minimal, the embedded, and the Alexandrov embedded tori therein. We conclude with an instability result.
