A surgery classification theory is introduced for manifolds of bounded geometry up to quasi-isometry. The Borel conjecture for this theory is proven for flat Euclidean space.
A brief history, the current state, and future directions of spin mechanics are presented.
Surgery duration is usually used as an input to the operation room (OR) allocation and surgery scheduling problems. A good estimation of surgery duration benefits the operation planning in ORs. In contrast, we would like to investigate…
An overview of the current data and phenomenology on the structure of the photon and an outline of some opportunities available in the medium term future.
The purpose of this informal article is to introduce the reader to some of the objects and methods of the theory of p-adic representations. My hope is that students and mathematicians who are new to the subject will find it useful as a…
We present here the concept of Dominated Splitting and give an account of some important results on its dynamics.
This article formulates a generic representation of a path-following controller operating under contained motion, which was developed in the context of surgical robotics. It reports two types of constrained motion: i) Bilateral Constrained…
We introduce an orbifold induction procedure which provides a systematic construction of cyclic orbifolds, including their twisted sectors. The procedure gives counterparts in the orbifold theory of all the current-algebraic constructions…
Exceptional Dehn surgeries have been classified for 2-bridge knots and Montesinos knots of length at least 4. In this paper we classify all toroidal Dehn surgeries on Montesinos knots of length 3.
Suppose F is a compact orientable surface, K is a knot in F x I, and N is the 3-manifold obtained by some non-trivial surgery on K. If F x {0} compresses in N, then there is an annulus in F x I with one end K and the other end an essential…

We introduce a new operation, double point surgery, on immersed surfaces in a 4-manifold, and use it to construct knotted configurations of surfaces in many 4-manifolds. Taking branched covers, we produce smoothly exotic actions of Z/m x…
A fairly brief and complete presentation of the Zwanzig-Mori projection operator technique is given.
This paper briefly reviews past milestones in the field of medical image reconstruction and describes some future directions. It is part of an overview paper on "open problems in signal processing" that will appear in IEEE Signal Processing…
This article provides a concise introduction to Bartnik's quasi-local mass, and surveys a selection of results pertaining to the understanding of it. The aim is to serve as both an entry point to the topic, and a quick reference of results…
The notion of a braid is generalized into two and three dimensions. Two-dimensional braids are described by braid monodromies or graphics called charts. In this paper we introduce the notion of curtains, and show that three-dimensional…
We established a new method called Discrete Weierstrass Fourier Transform, a faster and more generalized Discrete Fourier Transform, to approximate discrete data. The theory of this method as well as some experiments are analyzed in this…
We describe various handle moves in contact surgery diagrams, notably contact analogues of the Kirby moves. As an application of these handle moves, we discuss the respective classifications of long and loose Legendrian knots.
In this short note, we present certain generalized versions of the commutator formulas of some natural operators on manifolds, and give some applications.
A treatment is given of the precession of a Foucault pendulum by means of two successive rotational transformations of coordinate system. The simplicity and accuracy of this approach is emphasized.
