The LCS locus is an essential ingredient in the proof of fundamental results of Log Minimal Model Program, such as nonvanishing and base point freeness theorems. We prove in this paper that the LCS locus of a log canonical variety has…
In this paper, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for some types of linear combination of frame elements (wave packet) to be a frame for $L^2(\mathbb{K})$, where $\mathbb{K}$ is a local field of positive characteristic.
We describe an explicit open book decomposition adapted to the canonical contact structure on the unit cotangent bundle of a compact surface.
We compute the nonabelian $\mathrm{SL_2}(\mathbb{C})$-character varieties of the rational knots $C(2n+1,2m,2)$ in the Conway notation, where $m$ and $n$ are non-zero integers. By studying real points on these varieties, we determine the…
We review the interpretation of Whitehead products in homotopy theory as an entanglement of topological defects in ordered media.
In this paper, we study skew-symmetric $2$-$\{v;r,k;\lambda\}$ supplementary difference sets related to a certain class of complex spherical 2-codes. A classification of such supplementary difference sets is complete for $v \le 51$.
The aim of this article is to generalize the isomonodromic-isospectral correspondence for meromorphic connections of rank $2$ over $\mathbb{P}^1$ to the twisted case. More specifically, the construction of the isospectral approach is…
In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…
We show that every structurally submodular separation system admits a canonical tree set which distinguishes its tangles.
In this paper, we generalise the theory of complements to log canonical log fano varieties and prove boundedness of complements for them in dimension less than or equal to 3. We also prove some boundedness results for the canonical index of…
We describe a general geometrical construction of spherical CR structures. We construct then spherical CR structures on the complement of the figure eight knot and the Whitehead link. They have discrete holonomies contained in $PU(2,1,{\bf…
We resolve a case of the oriented knot complement conjecture by showing that knots in an orientable circle bundle $N$ over a genus $g \geq 2$ surface $S$ are determined by their complements. We apply this to the setting of canonical knots…
We show that there are only finitely many homogeneous links whose Conway polynomial has any given degree. Using this we give an example of an inhomogeneous, fibred knot. Secondly, we show how to compute the monodromy of a homogeneous link…
We compute the Kauffman skein module of the complement of torus knots in S^3. Precisely, we show that these modules are isomorphic to the algebra of Sl(2,C)-characters tensored with the ring of Laurent polynomials.
For any given integer $r \geq 1$ and a quasitoric braid $\beta_r=(\sigma_r^{-\epsilon} \sigma_{r-1}^{\epsilon}...$ $ \sigma_{1}^{(-1)^{r}\epsilon})^3$ with $\epsilon=\pm 1$, we prove that the maximum degree in $z$ of the HOMFLYPT polynomial…
Given any topological group $G$, the topological classification of principal $G$-bundles over a finite CW-complex $X$ is long-known to be given by the set of free homotopy classes of maps from $X$ to the corresponding classifying space…
We prove the existence of log canonical modifications for a log pair. As an application, together with Koll\"ar's gluing theory, we remove the assumption in the first named author's work [Odaka11], which shows that K-semistable polarized…
We compute the cohomology ring of the complement of a toric arrangement with integer coefficients and investigate its dependency from the arrangement's combinatorial data. To this end, we study a morphism of spectral sequences associated to…
For a triple of complex hyperplane arrangements, there is a well-known long exact sequence relating the cohomology of the complements. We observe that this result extends to certain local coefficient systems, and use this extension to study…
We show that there is no analogue of characterising slopes for multi-component links. Concretely, we show that for any ordered link L in S3 with n>1 components and any rational slopes r_1, ..., r_n, there are infinitely many links L_i with…
