A triangulation of a surface is k-irreducible if every non-contractible curve has length at least k and any edge contraction breaks this property. Equivalently, every edge belongs to a non-contractible curve of length k and there are no…

We define an invariant, which we call surface-complexity, of compact 3-manifolds by means of Dehn surfaces. The surface-complexity is a natural number measuring how much the manifold is complicated. We prove that it fulfils interesting…

We give new sufficient conditions for a compact set $E \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ to satisfy $\gamma(E)=\gamma_c(E)$, where $\gamma$ is the analytic capacity and $\gamma_c$ is the Cauchy capacity. As a consequence, we provide examples of compact…

Compact hyperkaehler manifolds are higher-dimensional generalizations of K3 surfaces. The classical Global Torelli theorem for K3 surfaces, however, does not hold in higher dimensions. More precisely, a compact hyperkaehler manifold is in…

One can embed arbitrarily many disjoint, non-parallel, non-boundary parallel, incompressible surfaces in any three manifold with at least one boundary component of genus two or greater [4]. This paper proves the contrasting, but not…

Thickenings of a metric space capture local geometric properties of the space. Here we exhibit applications of lower bounding the topology of thickenings of the circle and more generally the sphere. We explain interconnections with the…

For the set C(X) of real-valued continuous functions on a Tychonoff space X, the compact-open topology on C(X) is a "set-open topology". This paper studies the separation and countability properties of the space C(X) having the topology…

The paper is devoted to one of the important notions of the shape theory: that of strong movability, which was primarily introduced by K. Borsuk for metrizable compacts. A strong movability criterion is proved for topological spaces, which…

We study the conformal capacity ${\rm cap}(\Omega,K)$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $K$ is a compact connected set in $\Omega$. Because the exact numerical value of the capacity is known only in a handful of…

In this paper we discuss problems concerning the conformal condenser capacity of "hedgehogs", which are compact sets $E$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z:\,|z|<1\}$ consisting of a central body $E_0$ that is typically a smaller disk…

We prove some ergodic theorems for flat surfaces of finite area. The first result concerns such surfaces whose Teichmuller orbits are recurrent to a compact subset of $SL(2;R)/SL(S)$, where $SL(S)$ is the Veech group of the surface. In this…

The aim of these lecture notes is, after having quickly described various compactifications of the Teichm\"{u}ller space of a compact connected oriented surface minus finitely many points, to give a construction, by the equivariant Gromov…

We study the moduli space of minimal surfaces of general type with $K_S^2 = 1$ and $p_g = 2$ and show that it is irreducible, has dimension $28$ and admits a compactification which is unirational.

In the first part, after showing that the most natural approach to define an order on sets of conformal classes fails, we define a nontrivial order $\leq_2$ on the set of conformal classes of compact Cauchy slabs with fixed past boundary…

Computing channel capacity is in general intractable because it is given by the limit of a sequence of optimization problems whose dimensionality grows to infinity. As a result, constant-sized characterizations of feedback or non-feedback…

Through careful analysis of types inspired by [AGTW21] we characterize a notion of definable compactness for definable topologies in general o-minimal structures, generalizing results from [PP07] about closed and bounded definable sets in…

Consider an orientable compact surface in three dimensional Euclidean space with minimum total absolute curvature. If the Gaussian curvature changes sign to finite order and satisfies a nondegeneracy condition along closed asymptotic…

In 1957, Lacombe initiated a systematic study of the different possible notions of "computable topological spaces". However, he interrupted this line of research, settling for the idea that "computably open sets should be computable unions…

A unicellular map is the embedding of a connected graph in a surface in such a way that the complement of the graph is a topological disk. In this paper we present a bijective link between unicellular maps on a non-orientable surface and…

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components. Let $\mathcal{C}(N)$ be the curve complex of $N$. We prove that if $(g, n) \neq (1,2)$ and $g + n \neq 4$, then there is an exhaustion of…
