A knot K is called Gordian adjacent to a knot L if there exists an unknotting sequence for L containing K. We provide a sufficient condition for Gordian adjacency of torus knots via the study of knots in the thickened torus. We also…
We use different approaches to study a generalization of a result of Levin and Ste\v{c}kin concerning an inequality analogous to Hardy's inequality. Our results lead naturally to the study of weighted remainder form of Hardy-type…
Shake slice generalizes the notion of a slice link, naturally extending the notion of shake slice knots to links. There is also a relative version, shake concordance, that generalizes link concordance. We show that if two links are shake…
We give a necessary, and in some cases sufficient, condition for sliceness inside the family of pretzel knots $P (p_1,...,p_n)$ with one $p_i$ even. The three stranded case yields two interesting families of examples: the first consists of…
In this paper the double-sided Talor's approximations are used to obtain generalisations and improvements of some trigonometric inequalities.
We give characterizations of the skein polynomial for links (as well as Jones and Alexander-Conway polynomials derivable from it), avoiding the usual "smoothing of a crossing" move. As by-products we have characterizations of these…
This survey reviews Kauffman's model of folded ribbon knots: knots made of a thin strip of paper folded flat in the plane. The ribbonlength is the length to width ratio of such a ribbon, and the ribbonlength problem asks to minimize the…
In the present paper, we construct a simple invariant which provides a sliceness obstruction for {\em free knots}. This obstruction provides a new point of view to the problem of studying cobordisms of curves immersed in 2-surfaces, a…
Three novel multilinear embedding estimates for the fractional Laplacian are obtained in terms of trace integrals restricted to the diagonal. The resulting sharp inequalities may be viewed as extensions of the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev…
We establish a relative Bertini type theorem for multiplier ideal sheaves. Then we prove a relative version of the Koll\'ar--Nadel type vanishing theorem as an application.
The existence and stability of collisional kinetic equation, especially non-cutoff Boltzmann equation, in bounded domain with physical boundary condition is longstanding open problem. This work proves the global stability of the Landau…
We investigate a Maclaurin inequality for vectors and its connection to an Aleksandrov-type inequality for parallelepipeds.
We give a new, simpler proof of the fractional Korn's inequality for subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$. We also show a framework for obtaining Korn's inequality directly from the appropriate Hardy-type inequality.
The aim of this note is to show that Poincar\'e inequalities imply corresponding weighted versions in a quite general setting. Fractional Poincar\'e inequalities are considered, too. The proof is short and does not involve covering…
We prove explicit upper bounds for weighted sums over prime numbers in arithmetic progressions with slowly varying weight functions. The results generalize the well-known Brun-Titchmarsh inequality.
We sharpen the moment comparison inequalities with sharp constants for sums of random vectors uniform on Euclidean spheres, providing a deficit term (optimal in high dimensions).
We apply results from both contact topology and exceptional surgery theory to study when Legendrian surgery on a knot yields a reducible manifold. As an application, we show that a reducible surgery on a non-cabled positive knot of genus g…
We use d invariants of the 2-fold branched cover to show nonsliceness of a set of algebraically slice knots.
In the early 1980's Mike Freedman showed that all knots with trivial Alexander polynomial are topologically slice (with fundamental group Z). This paper contains the first new examples of topologically slice knots. In fact, we give a…
We give a sufficient condition under which vanishing property of Cochran-Orr-Teichner knot concordance obstructions splits under connected sum. The condition is described in terms of self-annihilating submodules with respect to higher-order…
