Motivated by the L-space conjecture, we investigate various notions of order-detection of slopes on knot manifolds. These notions are designed to characterise when rational homology 3-spheres obtained by gluing compact manifolds along torus…
A Dehn sphere in a closed 3-manifold M is a 2-sphere immersed in M with only double curve and triple point singularities. The Dehn sphere S fills M if it defines a cell-decomposition of M. The inverse image in S^{2} of the double curves of…
For a path-connected space X, a well-known theorem of Segal, May and Milgram asserts that the configuration space of finite points in R^n with labels in X is weakly homotopy equivalent to the n-th loop-suspension of X. In this paper, we…
In this paper we give a method to construct Heegaard splittings of oriented graph manifolds with orientable bases. A graph manifold is a closed $3$-manifold admitting only Seifert-fibered pieces in its Jaco-Shalen decomposition; for…
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…
The $L$-space conjecture asserts the equivalence, for prime 3-manifolds, of three properties: not being an $L$-space, having a left-orderable fundamental group, and admitting a co-oriented taut foliation. We investigate these properties for…
Jae-Suk Park and the second-named author introduce the deformation problem of coisotropic submanifolds of a symplectic manifold as the study of Mauer-Cartan moduli problem of an $L_\infty$ algebra attached to the foliation de-Rham complex…
A Riemannian metric on a manifold M induces a family of Riemannian metrics on the loop space LM depending on a Sobolev space parameter s. We compute the connection forms of these metrics and the higher symbols of their curvature forms,…
We study several homotopical and geometric properties of Maurer-Cartan spaces for L-infinity algebras which are not nilpotent, but only filtered in a suitable way. Such algebras play a key role especially in the deformation theory of…
The Mellin transform of fibre integral is calculated for certain isolated singularities of quasihomogeneous complete intersections (especially the unimodal singualrities of the list by Giusti and Wall). We show the property of symmetry…
We consider submanifolds of sub-Riemannian Carnot groups with intrinsic $C^1$ regularity ($C^1_H$). Our first main result is an area formula for $C^1_H$ intrinsic graphs; as an application, we deduce density properties for Hausdorff…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact orientable surface with nonempty boundary, let $\varphi: \Sigma \to \Sigma$ be an orientation-preserving pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism, and let $M = \Sigma \times I / \stackrel{\varphi}{\sim}$ be the mapping torus of…
We address the study of some curvature equations for distinguished submanifolds in para-K\"ahler geometry. We first observe that a para-complex submanifold of a para-K\"ahler manifold is minimal. Next we describe the extrinsic geometry of…
Let L be a link in an thickened annulus. We specify the embedding of this annulus in the three sphere, and consider its complement thought of as the axis to L. In the right circumstances this axis lifts to a null-homologous knot in the…
Let $L$ be an oriented link with an alternating diagram $D$. It is known that $L$ is a fibered link if and only if the surface $R$ obtained by applying Seifert's algorithm to $D$ is a Hopf plumbing. Here, we call $R$ a Hopf plumbing if $R$…
In his work on singularities, expanders and topology of maps, Gromov showed, using isoperimetric inequalities in graded algebras, that every real valued map on the $n$-torus admits a fibre whose homological size is bounded below by some…
Motivated by the recent work of Algom-Kfir and Bestinva introducing the mapping class group of an infinite graph via proper homotopy equivalences, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a surface to be properly homotopy equivalent…
We compute the homotopy type of the space of proper d-dimensional submanifolds of ${\mathbb R}^n$ with a smooth version of the Fell topology. Our methods allow us to compute the homotopy type of the space of submanifolds with summable…
This is a companion paper to earlier work of the author, which generalizes to an infinite family of $(2,2w+1)$-cabling of the figure eight knot ($|w|>3$) and proposes general formulas for the two-variable series invariant of the family of…
We establish a new version of Floer homology for monotone Lagrangian submanifolds and apply it to prove the following (generalized) version of Audin's conjecture : if $L$ is an aspherical manifold which admits a monotone Lagrangian…
