We present a systematic investigation into how tree-decompositions of finite adhesion capture topological properties of the space formed by a graph together with its ends. As main results, we characterise when the ends of a graph can be…

Let $Z'\subset \mathbb{P}^{n}$ be a smooth projective hypersurface of degree $d>1$ and let $Z\to \mathbb{P}^n$ be the $\mu_d$-cover totally ramified along $Z'$. We relate full level $d$ structures on the primitive cohomology $Z'$ with full…

In this paper, we show that every $O(m)$-edge-connected simple graph $G$ of size divisible by $m$ with minimum degree at least $2^{O(m)}$ has an edge-decomposition into isomorphic copies of any given tree $T$ of size $m$. Moreover, the…

We have initiated the study of topology of the space of coverings on grid domains. The space has the following constraint: while all the covering agents can move freely (we allow overlapping) on the domain, their union must cover the whole…

Using digital topology approach, we construct digital models of closed surfaces as the intersection graphs of LCL covers of the surfaces. It is proved that digital models of closed surfaces are digital 2-dimensional surfaces preserving the…

We present a complex matrix gauge model defined on an arbitrary two-dimensional orientable lattice. We rewrite the model's partition function in terms of a sum over representations of the group U(N). The model solves the general…

A graph $G$ is called collapsible if for every even subset $R\subseteq V(G)$, there is a spanning connected subgraph $H$ of $G$ such that $R$ is the set of vertices of odd degree in $H$. A graph is the reduction of $G$ if it is obtained…

We give a topological interpretation of the core group invariant of a surface embedded in S^4. We show that the group is isomorphic to the free product of the fundamental group of the double branch cover of S^4 with the surface as a…

Throughout this work, the vertex decomposability and shellability of graphs formed from other graphs by various operations are investigated. Also among the other things, by using some graph operations, new classes of Cohen-Macaulay graphs…

Kollar and Ruan proved symplectic deformation invariance for uniruledness of Kaehler manifolds. Zhiyu Tian proved the same for rational connectedness in dimension < 4. Kollar conjectured this in all dimensions. We prove Kollar's conjecture,…

A graph parameter is self-dual in some class of graphs embeddable in some surface if its value does not change in the dual graph by more than a constant factor. We prove that the branchwidth of connected hypergraphs without bridges and…

For conic bundles on a smooth variety (over a field of characteristic $\ne 2$) which degenerate into pairs of distinct lines over geometric points of a smooth divisor, we prove a theorem which relates the Brauer class of the non-degenerate…

We compute the number of (weak) equivalence classes of branched covers from a surface of genus g to the sphere, with 3 branching points, degree 2k, and local degrees over the branching points of the form (2,...,2), (2h+1,1,2,...,2),…

We classify purely inseparable morphisms of degree $p$ between rational double points (RDPs) in characteristic $p > 0$. Using such morphisms, we refine a result of Artin that any RDP admits a finite smooth covering.

We consider weak solutions to the incompressible Euler equations. It is shown that energy conservation holds in any Onsager critical class in which smooth functions are dense. The argument is independent of the specific critical regularity…

This paper presents a theory of systemic undecidability, reframing incomputability as a structural property of systems rather than a localized feature of specific functions or problems. We define a notion of causal embedding and prove a…

We say that a $2$-dimensional CW complex is a multibranched surface if we remove all points whose open neighborhoods are homeomorphic to the $2$-dimensional Euclidean space, then we obtain a $1$-dimensional complex which is homeomorphic to…

This paper addresses the following questions for a given tree $T$ and integer $d\geq2$: (1) What is the minimum number of degree-$d$ subtrees that partition $E(T)$? (2) What is the minimum number of degree-$d$ subtrees that cover $E(T)$? We…

In this work, singular surfaces are obtained from smooth orientable closed surfaces by applying three basic simple loop operations, collapsing operation, zipping operation and double loop identification, each of which produces different…

In this note we give a complete classification of all indecomposable yet reducible representations of $B_3$ for dimensions $2$ and $3$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ with characteristic $0$, up to equivalence. We illustrate their…
