We prove an estimate on the Hausdorff-dimension of the set of two-sided boundary points of general Sobolev-extension domains on Euclidean spaces. We also present examples showing lower bounds on possible dimension estimates of this type.

The first purpose of this paper is to generalize the well-known Maslov indices of maps of open Riemann surfaces with boundary lying on Lagrangian submanifolds to maps with boundary lying on coisotropic submanifolds in symplectic manifolds.…

In this paper, we develop general techniques for computing the G-index of a closed, spin, hyperbolic 2- or 4-manifold, and apply these techniques to compute the G-index of the fully symmetric spin structure of the Davis hyperbolic…

Building on Whitney's classical method of triangulating smooth manifolds, we show that every compact $d$-dimensional smooth manifold admits a triangulation with dual graph of twin-width at most $d^{O(d)}$. In particular, it follows that…

The disk complex of a surface in a 3-manifold is used to define its {\it topological index}. Surfaces with well-defined topological index are shown to generalize well-known classes, such as incompressible, strongly irreducible, and critical…

In this note, we give a characterization of immersed submanifolds of simply-connected space forms for which the quotient of the extrinsic diameter by the focal radius achieves the minimum possible value of $2$. They are essentially round…

Theorems on the existence of vector fields with given sets of Indexes of isolated Singular points are proved for the cases of closed manifolds, pairs of manifolds, manifolds with boundary, and gradient fields. It is proved that, on a…

The 3D index of Dimofte-Gaiotto-Gukov a partially defined function on the set of ideal triangulations of 3-manifolds with $r$ torii boundary components. For a fixed $2r$ tuple of integers, the index takes values in the set of $q$-series…

Some results on existence of global Chebyshev coordinates on a Riemannian manifold or, more generally, on Aleksandrov surface are proved. For instance, if the positive and the negative parts of integral curvature of a Riemannian manifold M…

2-stratifolds are a generalization of 2-manifolds in that there are disjoint simple closed curves where several sheets meet. They arise in the study of categorical invariants of 3-manifolds and may have applications to topological data…

We introduce partial secondary invariants associated to complete Riemannian metrics which have uniformly positive scalar curvature outside a prescribed subset on a spin manifold. These can be used to distinguish such Riemannian metrics up…

We provide sharp sufficient criteria for an integral $2$-varifold to be induced by a $W^{2,2}$-conformal immersion of a smooth surface. Our approach is based on a fine analysis of the Hausdorff density for $2$-varifolds with critical…

We develop appropriate notions of Maslov index and spectral flow for electromagnetic geodesics within a fixed energy level and prove a Morse Index type theorem in this context. This is then applied to the problem of electromagnetic…

The classical Minkowski formula is extended to spacelike codimension-two submanifolds in spacetimes which admit "hidden symmetry" from conformal Killing-Yano two-forms. As an application, we obtain an Alexandrov type theorem for spacelike…
