We give a Kuratowski-type classification of a graph-defined class of minimal piecewise-linear obstructions to embeddability in the 3-sphere. A finite simplicial complex \(X\) is called critical for \(S^3\) if \(|X|\) does not embed in…
This paper completely classifies which numbers arise as the topological entropy associated to postcritically finite self-maps of the unit interval. Specifically, a positive real number h is the topological entropy of a postcritically finite…
We consider the family of quadratic H\'enon diffeomorphisms of the plane ${\bf R}^2$. A map will be said to be a "horseshoe" if its restriction to the nonwandering set is hyperbolic and conjugate to the full 2-shift. We give a criterion for…
There are two natural definitions of the Julia set for complex H\'enon maps: the sets $J$ and $J^\star$. Whether these two sets are always equal is one of the main open questions in the field. We prove equality when the map acts…
Context. Binary systems of supermassive black holes are expected to be strong sources of long gravitational waves prior to merging. These systems are good candidates to be observed with forthcoming space-borne detectors. Only a few of these…
A hypergraph $\mathcal H$ is super-pancyclic if for each $A \subseteq V(\mathcal H)$ with $|A| \geq 3$, $\mathcal H$ contains a Berge cycle with base vertex set $A$. We present two natural necessary conditions for a hypergraph to be…
Let $M$ be a super Riemann surface with holomorphic distribution $\mathcal{D}$ and $N$ a symplectic manifold with compatible almost complex structure $J$. We call a map $\Phi\colon M\to N$ a super $J$-holomorphic curve if its differential…
A doubling chart on an $n$-dimensional complex manifold $Y$ is a univalent analytic mapping $\psi:B_1\to Y$ of the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n$, which is extendible to the (say) four times larger concentric ball of $B_1$. A doubling covering…
A holomorphic endomorphism of $\mathbb{CP}^n$ is post-critically algebraic if its critical hypersurfaces are periodic or preperiodic. This notion generalizes the notion of post-critically finite rational maps in dimension one. We will study…
The stationary solutions of a large variety of (super)gravity theories can be described within a non-linear sigma model G / H* coupled to Euclidean gravity in three-dimensions, for which G is a simple group and H* a non-compact real form of…
The classification of critical points of charged topological black holes (TBHs) in anti-de Sitter spacetime (AdS) under the Power Maxwell Invariant (PMI)-massive gravity is accomplished within the framework of black hole chemistry (BHC).…
It is shown that if a proper holomorphic map $f: \mathbb C^n \to \mathbb C^N$, $1<n\le N$, sends a pseudoconvex real analytic hypersurface of finite type into another such hypersurface, then any $n-1$ dimensional component of the critical…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane. Given a convex geometric shape $S$, a geometric graph $G_S(P)$ on $P$ is defined to have an edge between two points if and only if there exists an empty homothet of $S$ having…
We say that a subgroup $H$ of an infinite compact Abelian group $X$ is {\it $T$-characterized} if there is a $T$-sequence $\mathbf{u} =\{u_n \}$ in the dual group of $X$ such that $H=\{x\in X: \; (u_n, x)\to 1 \}$. We show that a closed…
We show that the moduli space of supersymmetric black holes that arise in the five-dimensional N=2 supergravity theory with any number of vector multiplets is a weak HKT manifold. The moduli metric is expressed in terms of a HKT potential…
Employing extended phase space formalism, we study critical phenomenon of A-charge and C-charge for holographic theories dual to Gauss-Bonnet black holes. We find a universal critical Gauss-Bonnet coupling, giving rise to a universal ratio…
The number of holes in a connected component in 2D images is a basic invariant. In this note, a simple formula was proven using our previous results in digital topology (Chen 2004, Chen and Rong (2010). The new is: $h =1+ (|C_4|-|C_2|)/4$,…
We study the different rates of escape of points under iteration by holomorphic self-maps of $\mathbb C^*=\mathbb C\setminus\{ 0\}$ for which both 0 and $\infty$ are essential singularities. Using annular covering lemmas we construct…
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are common in local galactic nuclei, and SMBHs as massive as several billion solar masses already exist at redshift z=6. These earliest SMBHs may arise by the combination of Eddington-limited growth and…
The H-unistochastic matrices are a special class of symmetric bistochastic matrices obtained by taking the square of the absolute value of each entry of a Hermitian unitary matrix. We examine the geometric relationship of the convex hull of…
