We construct a simply connected $2-$complex $C$ embeddable in $3-$space such that for any embedding of $C$ in $\mathbb S^3$, any edge contraction forms a minor of the $2-$complex not embeddable in $3-$space. We achieve this by proving that…

We show that the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ $(n>1)$ admits a nonsingular holomorphic foliation by complete properly embedded holomorphic discs.

We formalize a technique for embedding Riemann sufraces properly into \C^2, and we generalize all known embedding results to allow interpolation on prescribed discrete sequences.

We construct helicoid-like embedded minimal disks with axes along self-similar curves modeled on logarithmic spirals. The surfaces have a self-similarity inherited from the curves and the nature of the construction. Moreover, inside of a…

We construct infinitely many smoothly slice knots having topological slice discs that are non-approximable by smooth slice discs.

Let U be the closed unit disc in C. We show that there is no continuous map F:U-->U^2, holomorphic on Int(U) and such that F(bU) = b(U^2).

We study pseudoholomorphic discs with boundaries attached to a real hypersurface in an almost complex manifold. We give sufficient conditions for filling a one sided neighborhood of the hypersurface by the discs.

For any $H$ in (0,1/2), we construct complete, non-proper, stable, simply-connected surfaces embedded in $H^2xR$ with constant mean curvature $H$.

In this paper we construct a complete injective holomorphic immersion $\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}^2$ whose image is dense in $\mathbb{C}^2$. The analogous result is obtained for any closed complex submanifold $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ for $n>1$…

We first give an exposition on holomorphic isometries from the Poincar\'e disk to polydisks and from the Poincar\'e disk to the product of the Poincar\'e disk with a complex unit ball. As an application, we provide an example of proper…

It is shown that if a regular knot of class C2 is embedded in the boundary of the complex hyperbolic plane as the limit set of a discrete subgroup of PU(2, 1) then it is either a chain or an R-circle.

We study locally flat disks in $(\mathbb{C} P^2)^\circ:=(\mathbb{C} P^2)\setminus \mathring{B^4}$ with boundary a fixed knot $K$ and whose complement has fundamental group $\mathbb{Z}$. We show that up to topological isotopy rel. boundary,…

In this note, we prove a rigidity result for proper holomorphic maps between unit balls that have many symmetries and which extend to $\mathcal{C}^2$-smooth maps on the boundary.

We describe all proper holomorphic mappings of the symmetrized polydisc and study its geometric properties. We also apply the obtained results to the study of the spectral unit ball in $\MM_n(\CC^n)$.

We prove that if $M$ is a CW-complex and $M^1$ is its 1-skeleton then the crossed module $\Pi_2(M,M^1)$ depends only on the homotopy type of $M$ as a space, up to free products, in the category of crossed modules, with $\Pi_2(D^2,S^1)$.…

In the present study we consider knotted spheres in Euclidean $4$-space $ \mathbb{E}^{4}$. Firstly, we give some basic curvature properties of knotted spheres in $ \mathbb{E}^{4}$. Further, we obtained some results related with the…

The second author and Powell asked whether there exist knots bounding infinitely many slice disks that remain pairwise nonisotopic, even after local knotting. We answer this question in the affirmative, giving many classes of examples…

For a given embedded Lagrangian in the complement of a complex hypersurface we show existence of a holomorphic disc in the complement having boundary on that Lagrangian.

We describe four hyperbolic knot complements in $\mathbb{S}^3$, each of which covers a prism orbifold: the quotient of $\mathbb{H}^3$ by the action of a discrete group generated by reflections in the faces of a polyhedron that has the…

We show that many toric domains $X$ in $R^4$ admit symplectic embeddings $\phi$ into dilates of themselves which are knotted in the strong sense that there is no symplectomorphism of the target that takes $\phi(X)$ to $X$. For instance $X$…
