In this expository paper, we present a survey about the history of the geometrization conjecture and the background material on the classification of Thurston's eight geometries. We also discuss recent techniques for immersive visualization…
Semi-Equivelar maps are generalizations of Archimedean solids to the surfaces other than 2-sphere. In earlier work a complete classification of semi-equivelar map of type $(3^5, 4)$ on the surface of Euler characteristic -1 was given. In…
We consider a network in the Euclidean plane that consists of three distinct half-lines with common start points. From that network as initial condition, there exists a network that consists of three curves that all start at one point,…
In this paper, we study a flag complex which is naturally associated to the Thurston theory of surface diffeomorphisms for compact connected orientable surfaces with boundary. The various pieces of the Thurston decomposition of a surface…
The aim of these lecture notes is, after having quickly described various compactifications of the Teichm\"{u}ller space of a compact connected oriented surface minus finitely many points, to give a construction, by the equivariant Gromov…
For each fixed n>=2 we show how the Nielsen-Thurston classification of mapping classes for a closed surface of genus g>=2 is determined by the sequence of quantum SU(n) representations, when one considers all levels. That this is the case…
We introduce $(k,l)$-regular maps, which generalize two previously studied classes of maps: affinely $k$-regular maps and totally skew embeddings. We exhibit some explicit examples and obtain bounds on the least dimension of a Euclidean…
The Nil geometry, which is one of the eight 3-dimensional Thurston geometries, can be derived from {W. Heisenberg}'s famous real matrix group. The aim of this paper to study {\it lattice coverings} in Nil space. We introduce the notion of…
Generating point clouds, e.g., molecular structures, in arbitrary rotations, translations, and enumerations remains a challenging task. Meanwhile, neural networks utilizing symmetry invariant layers have been shown to be able to optimize…
Wave maps (or Lorentzian-harmonic maps) from a $1+1$-dimensional Lorentz space into the $2$-sphere are associated to constant negative Gaussian curvature surfaces in Euclidean 3-space via the Gauss map, which is harmonic with respect to the…
The Thurston norm of a 3-manifold measures the complexity of surfaces representing two-dimensional homology classes. We study the possible unit balls of Thurston norms of 3-manifolds $M$ with $b_1(M) = 2$, and whose fundamental groups admit…
Laplacian-based methods are popular for the dimensionality reduction of data lying in $\mathbb{R}^N$. Several theoretical results for these algorithms depend on the fact that the Euclidean distance locally approximates the geodesic distance…
Universal circles, introduced by Thurston and Calegari--Dunfield, are not well understood in general. Recently, the author together with Taylor showed that Anosov foliations with branching admit nonconjugate universal circles. We continue…
We consider general integrable curve nets in Euclidean space as a particular integrable geometry invariant with respect to rigid motions and net-preserving reparameterisations. For the purpose of their description, we first give an overview…
We compute the structure groups of almost even-Clifford Hermitian manifolds and determine when such groups lead to Spin structures.
Generally speaking, `almost distance-regular' graphs share some, but not necessarily all, of the regularity properties that characterize distance-regular graphs. In this paper we propose two new dual concepts of almost distance-regularity,…
We investigate flat maps where the source or target is a Noetherian ring, giving necessary and/or sufficient conditions on a ring for such maps to exist. Along the way, we develop some general facts about flat ring maps, and exhibit many…
Let $f$ be a postcritically finite branched self-cover of a 2-dimensional topological sphere. Such a map induces an analytic self-map $\sigma_f$ of a finite-dimensional Teichm\"uller space. We prove that this map extends continuously to the…
Rough set theory is a new mathematical approach to imperfect knowledge. The notion of rough sets is generalized by using an arbitrary binary relation on attribute values in information systems, instead of the trivial equality relation. The…
We define a class of Euclidean distances on weighted graphs, enabling to perform thermodynamic soft graph clustering. The class can be constructed form the "raw coordinates" encountered in spectral clustering, and can be extended by means…
