We give completely combinatorial proofs of the main results of [3] using polygons. Namely, we prove that the mapping class group of a surface with boundary acts faithfully on a finitely-generated linear category. Along the way we prove some…

We classify the smallest finite volume complex hyperbolic surfaces with cusps which admit smooth toroidal compactifications and which are not birational to a bi-elliptic surface. Remarkably, there is only one such surface which appears to…

In this paper, we show that a compact real surface embedded in a complex surface has a regular Stein neighborhood basis, provided that there are only finitely many complex points on the surface, and that they are all flat and hyperbolic. An…

We prove that any smooth rational projective surface over the field of complex numbers has an open covering consisting of 3 subsets isomorphic to affine planes.

Hyperplanes, hyperspheres and hypercylinders in $\Bbb R^n$ with suitable densities are proved to be weighted minimizing by a calibration argument. Also calibration method is used to prove a weighted minimal hypersurface is weighted…

One of the most powerful ideas in the study and classification of algebraic varieties is the notion of a model: that is, to single out an object, in the appropriate isomorphism class, with nice properties. This survey aims to define and…

A compactness of the Revuz map is established in the sense that the locally uniform convergence of a sequence of positive continuous additive functionals is derived in terms of their smooth measures. To this end, we first introduce a metric…

A combinatorial theory of associative $n$-categories has recently been proposed, with strictly associative and unital composition in all dimensions, and the weak structure arising as a combinatorial notion of homotopy with a natural…

In this note we demonstrate that a number of case-heavy combinatorial proofs in the mathematical phylogenetics literature can be proven more compactly using computational support. We use these techniques to also prove several new…

We classify generic coadjoint orbits for symplectomorphism groups of compact symplectic surfaces with or without boundary. We also classify simple Morse functions on such surfaces up to a symplectomorphism.

The isometry class of the intersection form of a compact complex surface can be easily determined from complex-analytic invariants. For projective surfaces the primitive lattice is another naturally occurring lattice. The goal of this note…

We give a short, mostly elementary and self-contained proof of the classical result that the groups of diffeomorphisms, homeomorphisms, and homotopy equivalences of a surface have the same group of connected components.

Motivated by results of J. R. Kline and R. L. Moore (1919) that a compact subset of the plane, homeomorphic to a subset of the reals, lies on the arc, we give a purely topological characterisation of compact sets of the reals. This allows…

We give a combinatorial classification for the class of postcritically fixed Newton maps of polynomials as dynamical systems. This lays the foundation for classification results of more general classes of Newton maps. A fundamental…

The main point of this paper is that, under suitable conditions on the mean curvature and the Ricci curvature of the ambient space, we can extend Choi-Schoen's Compactness Theorem to compact embedded minimal surfaces to simple immersed…

The purpose of this note is to rephrase Speyer's elegant topological proof for Kasteleyn's Theorem in a simple graph theoretical manner.

In this paper, we want to study the link between the presence of compact objects with some analytic structure and the global geometry of a weakly complete surface. We begin with a brief survey of some now classic results on the local…

We consider a general concept of composition and decomposition of objects, and discuss a few natural properties one may expect from a reasonable choice thereof. It will be demonstrated how this leads to multiplication and co- multiplication…

This note is devoted to proving the following result: given a compact metrizable group G, there is a compact metric space K such that G is isomorphic (as a topological group) to the isometry group of K.

We develop new techniques in the theory of convex surfaces to prove complete classification results for tight contact structures on lens spaces, solid tori, and T^2 X I. Erratum: In this note we seek to remedy errors which appeared in…
