We present a direct proof of the non-degeneracy of the harmonic structures on the level-$n$ Sierpinski gaskets for any $n\geq 2$, which was conjectured by Hino in [H1,H2] and confirmed to be true by Tsougkas [T] very recently using Tutte's…

We prove that the Sierpi\'nski gasket is non-removable for quasiconformal maps, thus answering a question of Bishop. The proof involves a new technique of constructing an exceptional homeomorphism from $\mathbb R^2$ into some non-planar…

This paper extends the Hodge-de Rham theory of Aaron \textit{et al.} [Commun. Pure Appl. Anal. {\bf 13} (2014)] to higher-dimensional level-$l$ Sierpinski gaskets $SG_{\ell}^{n},$ providing a framework for analyzing differential forms and…

We study the pointwise regularity of energy densities associated with harmonic functions on the $N$-dimensional Sierpinski gasket $(N\ge 2)$ with respect to the Kusuoka measure. For any nonconstant harmonic function, we prove that every…

Some families of graphs, such as the n-cubes and Sierpinski gaskets, are self-similar. In this paper we show how such recursive structure can be used systematically to prove isoperimetric theorems.

We prove that all Sierpi\'nski spaces in ${\mathbb{S}}^n$, $n\geq 2$, are non-removable for (quasi)conformal maps, generalizing the result of the first named author arXiv:1809.05605. More precisely, we show that for any Sierpi\'nski space…

We prove existence of a measurable Riemannian structure on higher-dimensional harmonic Sierpinski gasket fractals and deduce Gaussian heat kernel bounds in the geodesic metric. Our proof differs from that given by Kigami for the usual…

The (generalized & expanded) Sierpinski graph, S(n,m), and the Hamming graph have the same set of vertices (n-tuples from the set {0,1,...,m-1}. The edges of both are (unordered) pairs of vertices. Each set of edges is defined by a…

Generalised Sierpinski carpets are planar sets that generalise the well-known Sierpinski carpet and are defined by means of sequences of patterns. We study the structure of the sets at the kth iteration in the construction of the…

We prove that all harmonic maps from $\mathbb R^2$ to $\mathbb S^2$ with finite energy are nondegenerate. That is, for any harmonic map $u$ from $\mathbb R^2$ to $\mathbb S^2$ of degree $m$ (in $\mathbb Z$), all bounded kernel maps of the…

We study the existence of harmonic maps and Dirac-harmonic maps from degenerating surfaces to non-positive curved manifold via the scheme of Sacks and Uhlenbeck. By choosing a suitable sequence of $\alpha$-(Dirac-)harmonic maps from a…

We prove that all Sierpi\'nski carpets in the plane are non-removable for (quasi)conformal maps. More precisely, we show that for any two Sierpi\'nski carpets $S,S'\subset \hat{\mathbb{C}}$ there exists a homeomorphism $f\colon…

We consider criteria for the differentiability of functions with continuous Laplacian on the Sierpinski Gasket and its higher-dimensional variants $SG_N$, $N>3$, proving results that generalize those of Teplyaev. When $SG_N$ is equipped…

The isotropic harmonic oscillator and the Kepler-Coulomb system are pivotal models in the Sciences. They are two examples of second-order (maximally) superintegrable (Hamiltonian) systems. These systems are classified in dimension two. A…

For each K-homolgy element of the Sierpinski gasket we construct a spectral triple which will generate that element. We show that there must be certain limits on the choice of the K-homology element if the geometric properties of the gasket…

The number of independent sets is equivalent to the partition function of the hard-core lattice gas model with nearest-neighbor exclusion and unit activity. We study the number of independent sets $m_{d,b}(n)$ on the generalized Sierpinski…

Kuramoto Networks contain non-hyperbolic equilibria whose stability is sometimes difficult to determine. We consider the extreme case in which all Jacobian eigenvalues are zero. In this case linearizing the system at the equilibrium leads…
