In this note we prove that any integral closed k-form $\phi ^k$, $k\ge 3$, on a m-dimensional manifold $M^m$, $m \ge k$, is the restriction of a universal closed k-form $h^k$ on a universal manifold $U^{d(m,k)}$ as a result of an embedding…

We construct, for $m\geq 6$ and $2n\leq m$, closed manifolds $M^{m}$ with finite nonzero $\varphi(M^{m},S^{n}$), where $\varphi(M,N)$ denotes the minimum number of critical points of a smooth map $M\to N$. We also give some explicit…

The paper is devoted to the study of mappings with non--bounded characteristics of quasiconformality. We investigate the interconnection between the classes of the so-called ring $Q$-mappings and lower ring $Q$-mappings. It is proved that…

If E is a nonempty closed subset of the locally finite Hausdorff (2n-2)-measure on an n-dimensional complex manifold M and all points of E are nonremovable for a meromorphic mapping of M \ E into a compact K\"ahler manifold, then E is a…

It was shown by A. Beauville that if the canonical map $\varphi_{|K_M|}$ of a complex smooth projective surface $M$ is generically finite, then ${\rm deg}(\varphi_{|K_M|})\leq 36$. The first example of a surface with canonical degree 36 was…

We provide a general framework to study convergence properties of families of maps. For manifolds $M$ and $N$ where $M$ is equipped with a volume form $\mathcal{V}$ we consider families of maps in the collection $\{(\phi, B) : B \subset M,…

This paper concerns the class of contractible open 3-manifolds which are ``locally finite strong end sums'' of eventually end-irreducible Whitehead manifolds. It is shown that whenever a 3-manifold in this class is a covering space of…

We prove that if the fundamental group of an arbitrary three-manifold -- not necessarily closed, nor orientable -- is a Kaehler group, then it is either finite or the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface.

We show that a complete $m$-dimensional immersed submanifold $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $a(M)<1$ is properly immersed and have finite topology, where $a(M)\in [0,\infty]$ is an scaling invariant number that gives the rate that the norm of…

In this short note we update a result proved in [16]. This will complete our program of [12] showing that the structure set vanishes for compact aspherical 3-manifolds.

We study the class $\mathcal M^B$ of 3-manifolds $M$ that have a compact exhaustion $M=\cup_{i\in\mathbb N} M_i$ satisfying: each $M_i$ is hyperbolizable with incompressible boundary and each component of $\partial M_i$ has genus at most…

The existence of essential closed surfaces surfaces is proven for finite coverings of 3-manifolds that are triangulated by finitely many topological ideal tetrahedra and admit a regular, negatively curved, ideal structure.

We show that Edge Multiway Cut (also called Multiterminal Cut) and Node Multiway Cut are NP-complete on graphs of maximum degree $3$ (also known as subcubic graphs). This improves on a previous degree bound of $11$. Our NP-completeness…

One of the consequences of residual finiteness of triangle groups is that for any given hyperbolic triple $(\ell,m,n)$ there exist infinitely many regular hypermaps of type $(\ell,m,n)$ on compact orientable surfaces. The same conclusion…

We study scaling function geometry. We show the existence of the scaling function of a geometrically finite one-dimensional mapping. This scaling function is discontinuous. We prove that the scaling function and the asymmetries at the…

We prove that in dimensions not equal to 4, 5, or 7, the homology and homotopy groups of the classifying space of the topological group of diffeomorphisms of a disk fixing the boundary are finitely generated in each degree. The proof uses…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and let $M$ and $N$ be nonzero finitely generated $R$-modules. In this paper, we investigate how the finiteness of the homological dimension of Ext modules between $M$ and $N$ affects that of…

Let M,M' be smooth real hypersurfaces in N-dimensional space and assume that M is k-nondegenerate at a point p in M. We prove that holomorphic mappings that extend smoothly to M, sending a neighborhood of p in M diffeomorphically into M'…

We show that if $X$ is an indecomposable $PD_3$-complex and $\pi_1(X) is the fundamental group of a reduced finite graph of finite groups but is not virtually cyclic then $X$ is orientable, the underlying graph is a tree, all the edge…

Let $(R,\fm)$ be a local ring, and let $C$ be a semidualizing complex. We establish the equality $r_R(Z) = \nu(\Ext^{g-\inf C}_R(Z,C))\mu^{\depth C}_R(\mathfrak{m}, C)$ for a homologically finite and bounded complex $Z$ with finite…
