A branched twist spin is a generalization of twist spun knots, which appeared in the study of locally smooth circle actions on the $4$-sphere due to Montgomery, Yang, Fintushel and Pao. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition to…
We introduce and study a new notion of patterns in Stirling and $k$-Stirling permutations, which we call block patterns. We prove a general result which allows us to compute generating functions for the occurrences of various block patterns…
The branching data of an algebraic function is a list of orders of local monodromies around branching points. We present branching data that ensure that the algebraic functions having them are representable by radicals. This paper is a…
An efficient algorithm for computing the branching structure of a compact Riemann surface defined via an algebraic curve is presented. Generators of the fundamental group of the base of the ramified covering punctured at the discriminant…
We study knots in $\mathbb{S}^3$ obtained by the intersection of a minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with a small 3-sphere centered at a branch point. We construct examples of new minimal knots. In particular we show the existence of…
We consider the task of proving integer infeasibility of a bounded convex $K$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ using a general branching proof system. In a general branching proof, one constructs a branching tree by adding an integer disjunction…
We make use of the 3D nature of knots and links to find savings in computational complexity when computing knot invariants such as the linking number and, in general, most finite type invariants. These savings are achieved in comparison…
We study relative Cohn path algebras, also known as Leavitt-Cohn path algebras, and we realize them as partial skew group rings (to do this we prove uniqueness theorems for relative Cohn path algebras). Furthermore, given any graph $E$ we…
We study a natural Lie algebra structure on the free vector space generated by all rooted planar trees as the associated Lie algebra of the nonsymmetric operad (non-$\Sigma$ operad, preoperad) of rooted planar trees. We determine whether…
This paper explores the problem of unknotting closed braids and classical knots in mathematical knot theory. We apply evolutionary computation methods to learn sequences of moves that simplify knot diagrams, and show that this can be…
We prove a conjecture of Crapo and Penne which characterizes isotopy classes of skew configurations with spindle-structure. We use this result in order to define an invariant, spindle-genus, for spindle-configurations. We also slightly…
Strict inequalities in mixed-integer linear optimization can cause difficulties in guaranteeing convergence and exactness. Utilizing that optimal vertex solutions follow a lattice structure we propose a rounding rule for strict inequalities…
An algorithm for constructing primitive adjoint-invariant functions on a complex simple Lie algebra is presented. The construction is intrinsic in the sense that it does not resort to any representation. A primitive invariant function on…
We construct a point set in the Euclidean plane that elucidates the relationship between the fine-scale statistics of the fractional parts of $\sqrt n$ and directional statistics for a shifted lattice. We show that the randomly rotated, and…
We show that a fundamental sandwich algebra has an analogue of a root system of a semisimple Lie algebra. This leads to an analogue of a Weyl group, which we study in another paper.
We explore several problems related to ruled polygons. Given a ruling of a polygon $P$, we consider the Reeb graph of $P$ induced by the ruling. We define the Reeb complexity of $P$, which roughly equates to the minimum number of points…
A geometric argument is given to prove that the Seifert genus of a positive knot equals its slice genus. A combinatorial invariant, giving a lower bound for the slice genus, is formulated for arbitrary knots. Properties and applications of…
Inspired from Lie symmetry classification, we establish a correspondence between rank two Lie symmetries and 2D material physics. The material unit cell is accordingly interpreted as the geometry of a root system. The hexagonal cells,…
We describe an algorithm for fast multiplication of skew polynomials. It is based on fast modular multiplication of such skew polynomials, for which we give an algorithm relying on evaluation and interpolation on normal bases. Our…
Some more general "inheritance conditions" have been found for a given set of symmetry generators $\{\mathbf{Z}_{\bar{l}}\}$ acting on some set of coupled ordinary differential equations, once the "first integration method" has been applied…
