Work of numerous authors has shown that any smooth, orientable, closed 4-manifold may be described as a loop of Morse functions on a surface, a loop in the cut complex, a loop in the pants complex, or as a multisection. In this paper, we…

We construct interpolation operators for functions taking values in a symmetric space -- a smooth manifold with an inversion symmetry about every point. Key to our construction is the observation that every symmetric space can be realized…

Torus orbifolds are topological generalization of symplectic toric orbifolds. We give a construction of smooth orbifolds with torus actions whose boundary is a disjoint union of torus orbifolds using toric topological method. As a result,…

In the paper, properties of orbit functions are reviewed and further developed. Orbit functions on the Euclidean space $E_n$ are symmetrized exponential functions. The symmetrization is fulfilled by a Weyl group corresponding to a…

As a branch of algebraic and differential topology of manifolds, the theory of Morse functions and their higher dimensional versions or fold maps and its application to algebraic and differential topology of manifolds is fundamental,…

We present a new explicit family of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with a dense point spectrum. This family is expressed in terms of q-hypergeometric function of type ${_2}\phi_1$. The orthogonality measure is the wrapped…

Voltage operations extend traditional geometric and combinatorial operations (such as medial, truncation, prism, and pyramid over a polytope) to operations on maniplexes, maps, polytopes, and hypertopes. In classical operations, the…

Let \bar{M}_{0,n} be the moduli space of pointed, genus 0 curves. Let L_i denote the line bundle on \bar{M}_{0,n} associated to the i-th marked point (the fiber of L_i is the cotangent space of the pointed curve at the i-th point).…

We extend the modular orbits method of constructing a two-dimensional orbifold conformal field theory to higher genus Riemann surfaces. We find that partition functions on surfaces of arbitrary genus can be constructed by a straightforward…

We consider a countably generated and uniformly closed algebra of bounded functions. We assume that there is a lower semicontinuous, with respect to the supremum norm, quadratic form and that normal contractions operate in a certain sense.…
