We show that a connected split reductive group G over a field of characteristic 0 is uniquely determined up to isomorphism by specifying a maximal torus T of G, the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible representations of G, and the…

It is known that there are surface bundles of arbitrarily high genus which have genus two Heegaard splittings. The simplest examples are Seifert fibered spaces with the sphere as a base space, three exceptional fibers and which allow…

In this paper, we consider representations of integers as sums of generalized heptagonal numbers with a prescribed number of repeats of each heptagonal number appearing in the sum. In particular, we investigate the classification of such…

The Heegaard genus g of an irreducible closed orientable 3-manifold puts a limit on the number and complexity of the pieces that arise in the Jaco-Shalen-Johannson decomposition of the manifold by its canonical tori. For example, if p of…

The long standing classification problem in the theory of Heegaard splittings of 3-manifolds is to exhibit for each closed 3-manifold a complete list, without duplication, of all its irreducible Heegaard surfaces, up to isotopy. We solve…

A totally symmetric set is a finite subset of a group for which any permutation of the elements can be realized by conjugation in the ambient group. Such sets are rigid under homomorphisms, and so exert a great deal of control over the…

Cone spherical metrics are conformal metrics with constant curvature one and finitely many conical singularities on compact Riemann surfaces. A cone spherical metric is called irreducible if each developing map of the metric does not have…

We show that geometric disorder leads to purely singular continuous spectrum generically. The main input is a result of Simon known as the ``Wonderland theorem''. Here, we provide an alternative approach and actually a slight strengthening…

We introduce the notion of composition series of triangulated categories, which generalizes full exceptional sequences. The lengths of composition series yield invariants for triangulated categories. We study composition series of derived…

We prove that the mapping class group of a Heegaard splitting with a distance of at least 3 is finite. However, we have constructed a counterexample with a distance of 2 that disproves this assertion. In addition, the fact that the mapping…

Let $H$ be a linear algebraic group whose connected component $G\neq 1$ is simple and $H/G$ is cyclic. We determine the irreducible projective representations $\phi$ of $H$ such that $\phi(G)$ is irreducible and $\phi(h)$ has simple…

We describe a natural generalization of irreducibility in order lattices with arbitrary metrics. We analyse the special cases of valuation metrics and more general metrics for lattices. This article is mainly based on a part of the author's…

We construct families of manifolds that have pairs of genus $g$ Heegaard splittings that must be stabilized roughly $g$ times to become equivalent. We also show that when two unstabilized, boundary-unstabilized Heegaard splittings are…

We prove the Green conjecture for generic curves of odd genus. That is we prove the vanishing $K_{k,1}(X,K_X)=0$ for $X$ generic of genus $2k+1$. The curves we consider are smooth curves $X$ on a K3 surface whose Picard group has rank 2.…

We study the Hilbert scheme of smooth, irreducible, non-degenerate and linearly normal curves of degree $d$ and genus $g$ in $\mathbb{P}^r$ ($r\ge 3$) whose complete and very ample hyperplane linear series $\mathcal{D}$ have relatively…

Let $\mathbf{p}$ be a configuration of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for some $n$ and some $d \ge 2$. Each pair of points has a Euclidean length in the configuration. Given some graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, we measure the point-pair lengths…

The irreducible components of varieties parametrizing the finite dimensional representations of a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ are explored, with regard to both their geometry and the structure of the modules they encode. Provided…

J. Hempel's definition of the distance of a Heegaard surface generalizes to a complexity for a knot which is in bridge position with respect to a Heegaard surface. Our main result is that the distance of a knot in bridge position is bounded…

In physics, two systems that radically differ at short scales can exhibit strikingly similar macroscopic behaviour: they are part of the same long-distance universality class. Here we apply this viewpoint to geometry and initiate a program…

The equivariant Heegaard genus of a 3-manifold $M$ with the action of a finite group $G$ of diffeomorphisms is the smallest genus of an equivariant Heegaard splitting for $M$. Although a Heegaard splitting of a reducible manifold is…
