The Nielsen Conjecture for Homeomorphisms asserts that any homeomorphism $f$ of a closed manifold is isotopic to a map realizing the Nielsen number of $f$, which is a lower bound for the number of fixed points among all maps homotopic to…

We study the behavior of the Yang-Mills flow for unitary connections on compact and non-compact oriented surfaces with varying metrics. The flow can be used to define a one dimensional foliation on the space of SU(2) representations of a…

We study the $H^3$ invariant of a group homomorphism $\phi:G \rightarrow \mathrm{Out}(A)$, where $A$ is a classifiable C$^*$-algebra. We show the existence of an obstruction to possible $H^3$ invariants arising from considering the unitary…

We study the boundary $L_t$ of the Milnor fiber for the reduced holomorphic germs $f:(\Bbb C^3,0) \rightarrow (\Bbb C,0)$ having a non-isolated singularity at $0$. We prove that $L_t$ is a graph manifold by using a new technique of…

This article extends Bayer-Fluckiger's theorem on characteristic polynomials of isometries on an even unimodular lattice to the case where the isometries have determinant $-1$. As an application, we show that the logarithm of every Salem…

In this paper the author discuss the relation between Lagrangian Floer homology and Gauge-theory (Donaldson theory) Floer homology. It can be regarded as a version of Atiyah-Floer type conjecture in the case of $SO(3)$-bundle with…

Almost nothing is known concerning the extension of $3$-dimensional Kronecker--Weyl equidistribution theorem on geodesic flow from the unit torus $[0,1)^3$ to non-integrable finite polycube translation $3$-manifolds. In the special case…

We show that every atoroidal endperiodic map of an infinite-type surface can be obtained from a depth one foliation in a fibered hyperbolic 3-manifold, reversing a well-known construction of Thurston. This can be done almost-transversely to…

We prove the unpolarized Shafarevich conjecture for K3 surfaces: the set of isomorphism classes of K3 surfaces over a fixed number field with good reduction away from a fixed and finite set of places is finite. Our proof is based on the…

The three-page index $\alpha_3(L)$ is an invariant that measures the complexity of representing a link $L$ in a three-page book. It is known that $\alpha_3(L)$ admits a linear upper bound in terms of the crossing number, with equality…

The Akutsu-Deguchi-Ohtsuki (ADO) invariants are the most studied quantum link invariants coming from a non-semisimple tensor category. We show that, for fibered links in $S^3$, the degree of the ADO invariant is determined by the genus and…

Dimofte, Gaiotto and Gukov introduced a powerful invariant, the 3D-index, associated to a suitable ideal triangulation of a 3-manifold with torus boundary components. The 3D-index is a collection of formal power series in $q^{1/2}$ with…

Every irreducible outer automorphism of the free group of rank r is topologically represented by an irreducible train track map $f$ on some graph $\Gamma$ of rank r. Moreover, $f$ can always be written as a composition of folds and a graph…

Consider a graphed holomorphic surface $u=F(x,y)$ in $\mathbb{C}^3_{x,y,u}$ under the action of the affine transformation group $A(3)$. In 1999, Eastwood and Ezhov obtained a list of homogeneous models by determining possible tangential…

In this article, we construct infinitely many (small Seifert fibred, hyperbolic and toroidal) rational homology $3$-spheres that admit co-orientable taut foliations, but none with vanishing Euler class. In the context of the $L$-space…

Let $G=G_1 \ast \ldots \ast G_k \ast F_N$ be a free product of finitely presented groups, where $F_N$ is a free group of rank $N \in \mathbb{N}$. Let $\mathrm{Out}(G,\mathcal{G})$ be the subgroup of $\mathrm{Out}(G)$ preserving the set of…

The variety of bicommutative algebras consists of all nonassociative algebras satisfying the polynomial identities of right- and left-commutativity $(x_1x_2)x_3=(x_1x_3)x_2$ and $x_1(x_2x_3)=x_2(x_1x_3)$. Let $F_d$ be the free $d$-generated…

We investigate the combinatorial analogues, in the context of normal surfaces, of taut and transversely measured (codimension 1) foliations of 3-manifolds. We establish that the existence of certain combinatorial structures, a priori weaker…

Let $Y_1$ be a closed, oriented 3-manifold and $\Sigma$ denote a non-separating closed, orientable surface in $Y_1$ which consists of two connected components of the same genus. By cutting $Y_1$ along $\Sigma$ and re-gluing it using an…

We prove that the first order deformations of two smooth projective K3 surfaces are derived equivalent under a Fourier--Mukai transform if and only if there exists a special isometry of the total cohomology groups of the surfaces which…
