Given a two-generated group of prime-power order, we investigate the singularities of origamis whose deck group acts transitively and is isomorphic to the given group. Geometric and group-theoretic ideas are used to classify the possible…

For each three-bridge link of a certain form, we construct a taut Seifert surface for the link and establish whether the link is fibred. Using this, we also give the genus and fibredness of satellite knots whose pattern is constructed from…

A Goursat structure on a manifold of dimension n is a rank two distribution D such that dim D(i)=i+2, for i=0,...,n-2, where D(i) denotes the derived flag of D, which is defined by D(0)=D and D(i+1)=D(i)+[D(i),D(i)]. Goursat structures…

Refining a basic result of Alexander, we show that two flag simplicial complexes are piecewise linearly homeomorphic if and only if they can be connected by a sequence of flag complexes, each obtained from the previous one by either an edge…

We describe and apply a simple prescription for defining connected structures in galaxy redshift surveys. The method is based upon two passes with a friends-of-friends groupfinder. The first pass uses a cylindrical linking volume to find…

The seminal papers in the field of root-discriminant bounds are those of Odlyzko and Martinet. Both papers include the question of whether the field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-5460})$ has finite or infinite $2$-class tower. This is a critical case…

If $B$ is a toric manifold and $E$ is a Whitney sum of complex line bundles over $B$, then the projectivization $P(E)$ of $E$ is again a toric manifold. Starting with $B$ as a point and repeating this construction, we obtain a sequence of…

We consider germs of holomorphic vector fields at the origin of $\mathbb{C}^3$, with non-isolated singularities that are tangent to a holomorphic foliation of codimension one. This configuration is known as a $2$-flag of foliations. The…

We consider multidimensional arrays with at most 27 entries over the field with two elements, and their equivalence classes for the action of the direct product of general linear groups. The possible 3-dimensional formats are p x 2 x 2 (p =…

Many open problems and important theorems in low-dimensional topology have been formulated as statements about certain 2--complexes called gropes. This paper describes a precise correspondence between embedded gropes in 4--manifolds and the…

Choose a polynomial in three variables with not more than three or four monomials of moderate degree. Take simple coefficients as 1 and -1. Then draw a picture of the solution variety in real three space using a ray-tracing program like…

The isomorphism type of the Galois group of the 2-class field tower of quadratic number fields having a 2-class group with abelian type invariants (4,4) is determined by means of information on the transfer of 2-classes to unramified…

We first discuss the problems in the theory of ordinary differential equations that gave rise to the concept of a flag system and illustrate these with the Cartan criterion for Monge equations (1st order) as well as the Cartan statement…

Every right adjoint functor between presentable $\infty$-categories is shown to decompose canonically as a coreflection, followed by, possibly transfinitely many, monadic functors. Furthermore, the coreflection part is given a presentation…

Filamentary structures are common morphological features of the cold, molecular interstellar medium (ISM). Recent studies have discovered massive, hundred-parsec-scale filaments that may be connected to the large-scale, Galactic spiral arm…

We consider a tower of function fields F_0 < F_1 < ... over a finite field such that every place of every F_i ramified in the tower and the sequence genus(F_i)/[F_i:F_0] has a finite limit. We also construct a tower in which every place…

In the framework of the problem of characterizing complete flag manifolds by their contractions, the complete flags of type $F_4$ and $G_2$ satisfy the property that any possible tower of Bott-Samelson varieties dominating them birationally…

We continue our study of the inclusion posets of diagonal $SL(n)$-orbit closures in a product of two partial flag varieties. We prove that, if the diagonal action is of complexity one, then the poset is isomorphic to one of the 28 posets…

Let $G$ be the split orthogonal group of degree $2n+1$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$ of ${\rm char}\,\mathbb{F}\ne 2$. In this paper, we classify multiple flag varieties $G/P_1\times\cdots\times G/P_k$ of finite type. Here a multiple…

In this paper, we obtain new bounds for the tensor rank of multiplication in any extension of $\F_2$. In particular, it also enables us to obtain the best known asymptotic bound. In this aim, we use the generalized algorithm of type…
