This paper is on the classical Knotting Problem: for a given manifold N and a number m describe the set of isotopy classes of embeddings $N\to S^m$. We study the specific case of knotted tori, i. e. the embeddings $S^p \times S^q \to S^m$.…

This paper is devoted to the classification of embeddings of higher dimensional manifolds. We study the case of embeddings $S^p\times S^q\to S^m$, which we call knotted tori. The set of knotted tori in the the space of sufficiently high…

We work in the smooth category. Let N be a closed connected n-manifold and assume that m>n+2. Denote by E^m(N) the set of embeddings N -> R^m up to isotopy. The group E^m(S^n) acts on E^m(N) by embedded connected sum of a manifold and a…

Given a manifold N and a number m, we study the following question: is the set of isotopy classes of embeddings N->S^m finite? In case when the manifold N is a sphere the answer was given by A. Haefliger in 1966. In case when the manifold N…

We work in the smooth category. Let $N$ be a closed connected orientable 4-manifold with torsion free $H_1$, where $H_q := H_q(N; \mathbb Z)$. Our main result is a readily calculable classification of embeddings $N\to\mathbb R^7$ up to…

We work in the smooth category. If there are knotted embeddings S^n\to R^m, which often happens for 2m<3n+4, then no concrete complete description of embeddings of n-manifolds into R^m up to isotopy was known, except for disjoint unions of…

A clear understanding of topology of higher-dimensional objects is important in many branches of both pure and applied mathematics. In this survey we attempt to present some results of higher-dimensional topology in a way which makes clear…

The fundamental group of $M = \sharp_n (S^2\times S^1)$ is $F_n$, the free group with $n$ generators. There is a 1-1 correspondence between the equivalence classes of $\mathbb{Z}$-- splittings of $F_n$ and homotopy classes of embedded…

For any pair of integers $n\geq 1$ and $q\geq 2$, we construct an infinite family of mutually non-isotopic symplectic tori representing the homology class $q[F]$ of an elliptic surface E(n), where $[F]$ is the homology class of the fiber.…

We compute the mapping class group of the manifolds $\sharp^g(S^{2k+1}\times S^{2k+1})$ for $k>0$ in terms of the automorphism group of the middle homology and the group of homotopy $(4k+3)$-spheres. We furthermore identify its Torelli…

In this note we study solid tori in contact manifolds. Specifically, we study the width of a knot type and give criteria for when it is equal to the maximal Thurston-Bennequin invariant, and when it is larger. We also prove there are many…

Suppose that $N_1$ and $N_2$ are closed smooth manifolds of dimension $n$ that are homeomorphic. We prove that the spaces of smooth knots $Emb(S^1, N_1)$ and $Emb(S^1, N_2)$ have the same homotopy $(2n-7)$-type. In the 4-dimensional case…

In the classical theory of toric manifolds polytopes appear in two guises -- as Newton polytopes of line bundles on the complex, and as moment polytopes on the symplectic side, the link between the two being established by the…

Examples of aspherical closed symplectic 4-manifolds are presented whose Sullivan minimal models are (1,n)-formal for any n, without being formal. They have as cohomology algebra, signature, canonical class, those of a product of a closed…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. In this article, we classify all groups that can arise as $E(\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_p))_{\text{tors}}$ up to isomorphism for any prime $p$. When $p - 1$ is not divisible by small integers…

For any smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $d\geq4$ we construct explicit classes in homotopy groups of spaces of embeddings of either an arc or a circle into $M$, in every degree that is a multiple of $d-3$, and show that they are detected…

A smooth cuboid can be identified with a $3\times 3$ matrix of linear forms, with coefficients in a field $K$, whose determinant describes a smooth cubic in the projective plane. To each such matrix one can associate a group scheme over…

Given a compact manifold $N^n$, an integer $k \in \mathbb{N}_*$ and an exponent $1 \le p < \infty$, we prove that the class $C^\infty(\overline{Q}^m; N^n)$ of smooth maps on the cube with values into $N^n$ is dense with respect to the…

Smooth structures on high dimensional manifolds are classified by maps to the infinite loop space $TOP/O$. The homotopy groups of this space are known to be finite. Given a compact Lie group $G$, this space can be regarded as an equivariant…

The classification of elliptic curves E over the rationals Q is studied according to their torsion subgroups E_{tors}(Q) of rational points. Explicit criteria for the classification are given when E_{tors}(Q) are cyclic groups with even…
