When two free factors A and B of a free group F_n are in "general position" we define the projection of B to the splitting complex (alternatively, the complex of free factors) of A. We show that the projections satisfy properties analogous…
The free splitting graph of a free group $F_n$ with $n\geq 2$ generators is a hyperbolic ${\rm Out}(F_n)$-graph which has a geometric realization as a sphere graph in the connected sum of $n$ copies of $S^1\times S^2$. We use this…
The outer automorphism group Out(F_2g) of a free group on 2g generators naturally contains the mapping class group of a punctured surface as a subgroup. We define a subsurface projection of the sphere complex of the connected sum of n…
The Hardy space H^2(R) for the upper half plane together with a unimodular function group representation u(\lambda) = \exp(i(\lambda_1\psi_1 + ... + \lambda_n\psi_n)) for \lambda in R^n, gives rise to a manifold M of orthogonal projections…
We introduce a class of minimal submanfolds $M^n$, $n\geq 3$, in spheres $\mathbb{S}^{n+2}$ that are ruled by totally geodesic spheres of dimension $n-2$. If simply-connected, such a submanifold admits a one-parameter associated family of…
The group $\Out$ of outer automorphisms of the free group has been an object of active study for many years, yet its geometry is not well understood. Recently, effort has been focused on finding a hyperbolic complex on which $\Out$ acts, in…
Let S be a compact surface, and M be the double of a handlebody. Given a homotopy class of maps from S to M inducing an isomorphism of fundamental groups, we describe a canonical uniformly lipschitz retraction of the sphere graph of M to…
We extend some results of [BF12] on subfactor projections to show that the projection of a free factor B to the free factor complex of the free factor A is well-defined with uniformly bound diameter, unless either A is contained in B or A…
Modern sample points in many applications no longer comprise real vectors in a real vector space but sample points of much more complex structures, which may be represented as points in a space with a certain underlying geometric structure,…
A Smarandache geometry is a geometry which has at least one Smarandachely denied axiom(1969), i.e., an axiom behaves in at least two different ways within the same space, i.e., validated and invalided, or only invalided but in multiple…
Majority of the current dimensionality reduction or retrieval techniques rely on embedding the learned feature representations onto a computable metric space. Once the learned features are mapped, a distance metric aids the bridging of gaps…
We identify a region $\Bbb{W}_{\f{1}{3}}$ in a Grassmann manifold $\grs{n}{m}$, not covered by a usual matrix coordinate chart, with the following important property. For a complete $n-$submanifold in $\ir{n+m} \, (n\ge 3, m\ge2)$ with…
Subsurface projection has become indispensable in studying the geometry of the mapping class group and the curve complex of a surface. When the subsurface is an annulus, this projection is sometimes called relative twisting. We give two…
The space of embedded submanifolds plays an important role in applications such as computational anatomy and shape analysis. We can define two different classes on Riemannian metrics on this space: so-called outer metrics are metrics that…
It is an important question whether it is possible to put a geometry on a given manifold or not. It is well known that any simply connected closed manifold admitting a real projective structure must be a sphere. Therefore, any simply…
An invariant of orientable 3-manifolds is defined by taking the minimum $n$ such that a given 3-manifold embeds in the connected sum of $n$ copies of $S^2 \times S^2$, and we call this $n$ the embedding number of the 3-manifold. We give…
Function approximation based on data drawn randomly from an unknown distribution is an important problem in machine learning. The manifold hypothesis assumes that the data is sampled from an unknown submanifold of a high dimensional…
This paper continues a geometric study of Harvey's Complex of Curves, whose ultimate goal is to apply the theory of hyperbolic spaces and groups to algorithmic questions for the Mapping Class Group and geometric properties of Kleinian…
The trace of $n$-framed surgery on a knot in $S^3$ is a 4-manifold homotopy equivalent to the 2-sphere. We characterise when a generator of the second homotopy group of such a manifold can be realised by a locally flat embedded 2-sphere…
Given a compact $n$-dimensional immersed Riemannian manifold $M^n$ in some Euclidean space we prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set of the Gauss map is small, then $M^n$ is homeomorphic to the sphere $S^n$. Also, we…
