We study properties of continuous finite group actions on topological manifolds that hold true, for any finite group action, after possibly passing to a subgroup of index bounded above by a constant depending only on the manifold. These…

Using a definition of Jordan curve similar to that of Dieudonn\'e, we prove that our notion is equivalent to that used by Berg et al. in their constructive proof of the Jordan Curve Theorem. We then establish a number of properties of…

Let C be a real-analytic Jordan curve in $R^3$. Then C cannot bound infinitely many disk-type minimal surfaces which provide relative minima of area.

Let s be at least 2. We construct Ricci flat pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of signature (2s,s) which are not locally homogeneous but whose curvature tensors never the less exhibit a number of important symmetry properties. They are curvature…

We study the case when solution of an ODE at a given initial condition fail to be unique and investigate what are the possible time-1 sections of the `solution funnel'. Along the way we give construction of a natural complete metric on the…

A special class of Jordan algebras over a field $F$ of characteristic zero is considered. Such an algebra consists of an $r$-dimensional subspace of the vector space of all square matrices of a fixed order $n$ over $F$. It contains the…

If two closed Jordan curves in the plane have precisely one point in common, then it is called a {\em touching point}. All other intersection points are called {\em crossing points}. The main result of this paper is a Crossing Lemma for…

If two Jordan curves in the plane have precisely one point in common, and there they do not properly cross, then the common point is called a {\em touching point}. The main result of this paper is a Crossing Lemma for simple curves: Let $X$…

Suppose that $\gamma \subset \mathbb{C}$ is a Jordan curve of diameter $2R$ which encloses a region of area $A$. We prove that there exists a subset $I \subset (0,\pi)$ of measure at least $A/R^2$ such that if $\theta \in I$, then there…

Consider a face F in an arrangement of n Jordan curves in the plane, no two of which intersect more than s times. We prove that the combinatorial complexity of F is O(\lambda_s(n)), O(\lambda_{s+1}(n)), and O(\lambda_{s+2}(n)), when the…

If T is a multiplicity-free contraction of class C_0 with minimal function m_T, then it is quasisimilar to the Jordan block S(m_T). In case m_T is a Blaschke product with simple roots forming a Carleson sequence, we show that the relation…

A long standing conjecture of Richter and Thomassen states that the total number of intersection points between any $n$ simple closed Jordan curves in the plane, so that any pair of them intersect and no three curves pass through the same…

We investigate how the concepts of intersection and sums of subobjects carry to exact categories. We obtain a new characterisation of quasi-abelian categories in terms of admitting admissible intersections in the sense of Hassoun and Roy.…

We prove that for certain families of semi-algebraic convex bodies in 3 dimensions, the convex hull of $n$ disjoint bodies has $O(n\lambda_s(n))$ features, where $s$ is a constant depending on the family: $\lambda_s(n)$ is the maximum…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition so that a pair of disjoint Jordan regions in the sphere can be quasiconformally mapped to a pair of disks. As a consequence, we obtain a simple characterization that involves Lipschitz functions…

Theorem converse to Jordan's curve theorem says that {\it if a compact set $K$ has two complementary domains in $R^{2}$, from each of which it is at every point accessible, it is a simple closed curve}. We show that the requirement of this…

The matching problem for a given Jordan curve in the complex plane asks to find two nonconstant functions, one analytic in the bounded complementary component of the curve and the other analytic in the unbounded complementary component of…

We determine every Jordan type partition that occurs as the Jordan block decomposition for the multiplication map by a linear form in a height two homogeneous complete intersection (CI) Artinian algebra $A$ over an algebraically closed…

The fixed-point index of a homeomorphism of Jordan curves measures the number of fixed-points, with multiplicity, of the extension of the homeomorphism to the full Jordan domains in question. The now-classical Circle Index Lemma says that…

We consider the massless Dirac operator with the MIT bag boundary conditions on an unbounded three-dimensional circular cone. For convex cones, we prove that this operator is self-adjoint defined on four-component $H^1$--functions…
