We give a simple proof of a result originally due to Dimca and Suciu: a group that is both Kaehler and the fundamental group of a closed three-manifold is finite. We also prove that a group that is both the fundamental group of a closed…

Suppose for closed surfaces $M,N$ there exists a continuous map $f:M\to N$ of geometric degree $d>0$. Then $\chi(M)\le d\cdot\chi(N)$. This inequality was first proved by Kneser in case of orientable surfaces and by Edmonds for arbitrary…

Let $N_{g,n}$ be a genus $g$ compact non-orientable surface with $n$ boundaries. We explain about relations on the level $d$ mapping class group $\mathcal{M}_d(N_{g,0})$ of $N_{g,0}$ and the level $d$ principal congruence subgroup…

We complete the classification (started by Bray and the second author) of all closed 3-manifolds with Yamabe invariant greater than that of $\RP^3$, by showing that such manifolds are either $S^3$ or finite connected sums $# m(S^2 \times…

This note mainly studies the generic finiteness of \phi_m of a complex projective 3-fold of general type. A new result on the classification to bicanonical pencil for Gorenstein 3-folds is attached in the last section.

We introduce a diagrammatic language for compact, orientable 3-dimensional manifolds with boundary. A diagrammatic calculus (both integral and rational version) appropriate for this language is introduced and its completeness is proved in…

Denote by $H(d_1,d_2,d_3)$ the set of all homogeneous polynomial mappings $F=(f_1,f_2,f_3): \C^3\to\C^3$, such that $\deg f_i=d_i$. We show that if $\gcd(d_i,d_j)\leq 2$ for $1\leq i<j\leq 3$ and $\gcd(d_1,d_2,d_3)=1$, then there is a…

We prove that any complete, embedded minimal surface $M$ with finite topology in a homogeneous three-manifold $N$ has positive injectivity radius. When one relaxes the condition that $N$ be homogeneous to that of being locally homogeneous,…

Using geometric arguments, we compute the group of homotopy classes of maps from a closed $(n+1)$-dimensional manifold to the $n$-sphere for $n \geq 3$. Our work extends results from Kirby, Melvin and Teichner for closed oriented…

It is well known that every compact oriented 3-manifold admits an ideal triangulation, and that any two such triangulations with at least two ideal tetrahedra are related by a sequence of Pachner $2$-$3$ moves. Motivated by constructions in…

In this article we construct a new class of finite dimensional irreducible modules genaralizing evaluation modules for multiloop superalgebra of type A(m,n) and C(m). We prove that these are the only such modules. In all other cases it is…

We obtain a finite set of generators for the level 2 mapping class group of a closed nonorientable surface of genus $g\ge 3$. This set consists of isotopy classes of Lickorish's Y-homeomorphisms also called crosscap slides.

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…

In this paper, we consider a closed 3-manifold $M$ with flat conformal structure $C$. We will prove that, if the Yamabe constant of $(M, C)$ is positive, then $(M, C)$ is Kleinian.

Let $m\ge 3$ be an integer. It is proved that the $m$-closure of a given solvable permutation group of degree $n$ can be constructed in time $n^{O(m)}$.

A dominating set D of a graph G is a set such that each vertex v of G is either in the set or adjacent to a vertex in the set. Matheson and Tarjan (1996) proved that any n-vertex plane triangulation has a dominating set of size at most n/3,…

We investigate the geometry of closed, orientable, hyperbolic $3$-manifolds whose fundamental groups are $k$-free for a given integer $k\ge 3$. We show that any such manifold $M$ contains a point $P$ of $M$ with the following property: If…

We prove Iitaka's $C_{n,m}$ conjecture for $3$-folds over the algebraic closure of finite fields. Along the way we prove some results on the birational geometry of log surfaces over nonclosed fields and apply these to existence of relative…

It is shown that for given positive integers g and b, there is a number C(g,b), such that any orientable compact irreducible 3-manifold of Heegaard genus g has at most C(g,b) disjoint, nonparallel incompressible surfaces with first Betti…

We study complete $3$-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature under additional regularity assumptions. We prove that a contractible such manifold is diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^3$, and that an open handlebody admitting such a metric…
