We show that if the Hempel distance of a Heegaard splitting is larger than three then the mapping class group of the Heegaard splitting is isomorphic to a subgroup of the mapping class group of the ambient 3-manifold. This implies that…

Mapping class groups of Haken 3-manifolds enjoy many of the homological finiteness properties of mapping class groups of 2-manifolds of finite type. For example, H(M) has a torsionfree subgroup of finite index, which is geometrically finite…

For a genus two Heegaard splitting of a lens space, the primitive disk complex is defined to be the full subcomplex of the disk complex for one of the handlebodies of the splitting spanned by all vertices of primitive disks. In this work,…

Let $g \ge 2$ and assume that we are given a genus $g$ Heegaard splitting of a closed orientable $3$-manifold with the distance greater than $2g+2$. We prove that the mapping class group of the once-stabilization of such a Heegaard…

For three-dimensional (3D) crystalline insulators, preserving space-inversion ($\mathcal{P}$) and time-reversal ($\mathcal{T}$) symmetries, the third homotopy class of two-fold, Kramers-degenerate bands is described by a 3D winding number…

Separability is one of the most basic and important topological properties. In this paper, the separability in (strongly) topological gyrogroups is studied. It is proved that every first-countable left {\omega}-narrow strongly topological…

For a closed orientable connected 3-manifold $M$, its complexity $\boldsymbol{T}(M)$ is defined to be the minimal number of tetrahedra in its triangulations. Under the assumption that $M$ is prime (but not necessarily atoroidal), we…

Given hypergraphs H and F, an F-factor in H is a spanning subgraph consisting of vertex disjoint copies of F. Let K_4^3-e denote the 3-uniform hypergraph on 4 vertices with 3 edges. We show that for \gamma>0 there exists an integer n_0 such…

In this paper, we add examples to Goeritz groups, the mapping class groups of given Heegaard splittings of 3-manifolds. We focus on a Heegaard splitting of genus two of a Seifert manifold whose base orbifold is sphere with three exceptional…

A topology is defined on the mapping class group of a compact connected orientable surface. It is shown that a notion of "genericity" on subsets of the mapping class group arises from this definition. Many plausible results follow from this…

Let M be a compact, connected, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold and T an incompressible torus boundary component of M such that the pair (M,T) is not cabled. In the paper "Toroidal and Klein bottle boundary slopes" [arXiv:math/0601034] by…

Let $M$ be a simple manifold, and $F$ be a component of $\partial M$ of genus two. For a slope $\gamma$ on $F$, we denote by $M(\gamma)$ the manifold obtained by attaching a 2-handle to $M$ along a regular neighborhood of $\gamma$ on $F$.…

Let M be a closed 3-manifold with a given Heegaard splitting. We show that after a single stabilization, some core of the stabilized splitting has arbitrarily high distance with respect to the splitting surface. This generalizes a result of…

Let $\mathscr{C}$ be a 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated category, and let $\mathscr{T}$ be a cluster tilting subcategory of $\mathscr{C}$. An important result from Dehy and Keller tells us that a rigid object $c \in \mathscr{C}$ is uniquely…

Let G be a simple classical algebraic group over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic $p \ge 0$ with natural module W. Let H be a closed subgroup of G and let V be a nontrivial p-restricted irreducible tensor indecomposable…

Let $X$ be a bundle over $S^1$ with fiber a 3--manifold $M$ and with monodromy $\varphi$. Gay and Kirby showed that if $\varphi$ fixes a genus $g$ Heegaard splitting of $M$ then $X$ has a genus $6g+1$ trisection. Genus $3g+1$ trisections…

Connected weakly irreducible not irreducible subgroups of $Sp(1,n+1)\subset SO(4,4n+4)$ that satisfy a certain additional condition are classified. This will be used to classify connected holonomy groups of pseudo-hyper-K\"ahlerian…

We show that if $\mathbb Z^3$ can be tiled by translated copies of a set $F\subseteq\mathbb Z^3$ of cardinality the square of a prime then there is a weakly periodic $F$-tiling of $\mathbb Z^3$, that is, there is a tiling $T$ of $\mathbb…

Let $G$ be a $3$-connected graph with a $3$-connected (or sufficiently small) simple minor $H$. We establish that $G$ has a forest $F$ with at least $\left\lceil(|G|-|H|+1)/2\right\rceil$ edges such that $G/e$ is $3$-connected with an…

This thesis concerns the relationship between bounded and controlled topology and how these can be used to recognise which homotopy equivalences of reasonable topological spaces are homotopic to homeomorphisms. Let $f:X\to Y$ be a…
