In this paper it is shown how to construct a finite topological space $X$ for a given finitely presentable group $G$ such that $\pi_1(X)\cong G$. Our construction is not optimal in the sense that the cardinality of the space $X$ might not…

A Tangle is a smooth simple closed curve formed from arcs (or ``links'') of circles with fixed radius. Most previous study of Tangles has dealt with the case where these arcs are quarter-circles, but Tangles comprised of thirds and sixths…

We show that every continuous simple curve with $\sigma$-finite length has a tangent at positively many points. We also apply this result to functions with finite lower scaled oscillation; and study the validity of the results in higher…

We introduce a novel algorithm for the task of coherently controlling a quantum mechanical system to implement any chosen unitary dynamics. It performs faster than existing state of the art methods by one to three orders of magnitude…

We compute the dynamical degrees of certain compositions of reflections in points on a smooth cubic fourfold. Our interest in these computations stems from the irrationality problem for cubic fourfolds. Namely, we hope that they will…

We compute the limit of tangents of an arbitrary surface. We obtain as a byproduct an embedded version of Jung's desingularization theorem for surface singularities with finite limits of tangents.

We review the basic definitions and properties concerning smooth structures, convenient spaces, diffeological spaces and tangent structures. The relation betwen them is described. A tangent structure is constructed for each pre-convenient…

We study the order of tangency between two manifolds of same dimension and give that notion three quite different geometric interpretations. Related aspects of the order of tangency, e.g., regular separation exponents, are also discussed.

We determine the maximal number of steps required to sort $n$ labeled points on a circle by adjacent swaps. Lower bounds for sorting by all swaps, not necessarily adjacent, are given as well.
