The theoretical and numerical understanding of the key concept of topological entropy is an important problem in dynamical systems. Most studies have been carried out on maps (discrete-time systems). We analyse a scenario of global changes…

The number of spanning trees in the giant component of the random graph $\G(n, c/n)$ ($c>1$) grows like $\exp\big\{m\big(f(c)+o(1)\big)\big\}$ as $n\to\infty$, where $m$ is the number of vertices in the giant component. The function $f$ is…

We present a necessary condition for $(\ell-1)$-connected combinatorial $(2\ell +1)$-manifolds to be tight. As a corollary, we show that there is no tight combinatorial three-manifold with Betti number at most two other than the boundary of…

In this note, we prove an effective linear volume growth for complete three-manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature and uniformly positive scalar curvature. This recovers the results obtained by Munteanu-Wang. Our method builds upon…

We study closed, simply connected manifolds with positive $2^\mathrm{nd}$-intermediate Ricci curvature and large symmetry rank. In odd dimensions, we show that they are spheres. In even dimensions other than $6$, we show that they must have…

This paper provides a topological interpretation for number theoretic properties of quantum invariants of 3-manifolds. In particular, it is shown that the p-adic valuation of the quantum SO(3)-invariant of a 3-manifold M, for odd primes p,…

We present the results of an extension of our previous work on large-scale simulations of dynamically triangulated toroidal random surfaces embedded in $R^3$ with extrinsic curvature. We find that the extrinsic-curvature specific heat peak…

We describe and analyze a numerical algorithm for computing the homology (Betti numbers and torsion coefficients) of real projective varieties. Here numerical means that the algorithm is numerically stable (in a sense to be made precise).…

Let $T$ be an infinite rooted tree with weights $w_e$ assigned to its edges. Denote by $m_n(T)$ the minimum weight of a path from the root to a node of the $n$th generation. We consider the possible behaviour of $m_n(T)$ with focus on the…

In this paper we obtain three results concerning the geometry of complete noncompact positively curved K\"{a}hler manifolds at infinity. The first one states that the order of volume growth of a complete noncompact K\"{a}hler manifold with…

Upper bounds on the topological Betti numbers of Vietoris-Rips complexes are established, and examples of such complexes with high Betti numbers are given.

The torsion anomalous conjecture states that for any variety V in an abelian variety there are only finitely many maximal V-torsion anomalous varieties. We prove this conjecture for V of codimension 2 in a product E^N of any elliptic curve…

We show that when a sequence of Riemannian manifolds collapses under a lower Ricci curvature bound, the first Betti number cannot drop more than the dimension.

In this paper we study the deformation of strictly convex real projective structures on a closed surface. Specially we study the deformation in terms of the entropy on bulging deformations. As a byproduct we construct a sequence of…
