Any smooth projective curve embeds into $\mathbb{P}^3$. More generally, any curve embeds into a rationally connected variety of dimension at least three. We prove conversely that if every curve embeds in a threefold $X$, then $X$ is…

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…

Properly embedded simplices in a convex divisible domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R} \textrm{P}^d$ behave somewhat like flats in Riemannian manifolds, so we call them flats. We show that the set of codimension-$1$ flats has image which is a…

Let M be a closed 3-manifold which can be triangulated with N simplices. We prove that any map from M to a genus 2 surface has Hopf invariant at most C^N. Let X be a closed oriented hyperbolic 3-manifold with injectivity radius less than…

We prove that contact homeomorphisms preserve characteristic foliations on surfaces in contact $3$-manifolds. More precisely, since the characteristic foliation is a singular $1$-dimensional foliation, we show that singular points are…

A convex combination mapping of a planar graph is a plane mapping in which the external vertices are mapped to the corners of a convex polygon and every internal vertex is a proper weighted average of its neighbours. If a planar graph is…

Graph manifolds form important classes of $3$-dimensional closed and orientable manifolds. For example, {\it Seifert} manifolds are graph manifolds where hyperbolic manifolds are not. In applying singularity theory of differentiable maps to…

We construct a family of 1-convex threefolds, with exceptional curve C of type (0,-2), which are not embeddable in C^m \times CP_n. In order to show that they are not Kaehler we exhibit a real 3-dimensional chain A whose boundary is the…

In this paper we consider convex subsets of locally-convex topological vector spaces. Given a fixed point in such a convex subset, we show that there exists a curve completely contained in the convex subset and leaving the point in a given…

We present a dynamical approach to the study of unordered, attracting manifolds of retrotone maps commonly known as carrying simplices. Our approach is novel in that it uses the radial representation of unordered manifolds over the…

We show existence of centrally symmetric maps on surfaces all of whose faces are quadrangles and pentagons for each orientable genus $g \geq 0$. We also show existence of centrally symmetric maps on surfaces all of whose faces are hexagons…

The main result of this paper is that the identity component of the automorphism group of a compact, connected, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold is compact unless the manifold is CR equivalent to the standard sphere. In dimensions greater…

After a short summary of known results on surface-complexity of closed 3-manifolds, we will classify all closed orientable 3-manifolds with surface-complexity one.

We prove that a Jordan $\calc^1$-curve in the plane contains any non-flat triangle up to translation and homothety with positive ratio. This is false if the curve is not $C^1$. The proof uses a bit configuration spaces, differential and…

The main result of this paper is a proof that a nearly flat, acutely triangulated convex cap C in R^3 has an edge-unfolding to a non-overlapping polygon in the plane. A convex cap is the intersection of the surface of a convex polyhedron…

We prove a transversality "lifting property" for compactified configuration spaces as an application of the multijet transversality theorem: given a submanifold of configurations of points on an embedding of a compact manifold $M$ in…

We show that any noncompact oriented surface is homeomorphic to the leaf of a minimal foliation of a closed $3$-manifold. These foliations are (or are covered by) suspensions of continuous minimal actions of surface groups on the circle.…

We consider the following properties of compact oriented irreducible graph-manifolds: to contain a $\pi_1$-injective surface (immersed, virtually embedded or embedded), be (virtually) fibered over $S^1$, and to carry a metric of nonpositive…

In this note we provide a simple proof of some properties enjoyed by convex functions having the engulfing property. In particular, making use only of results peculiar to convex analysis, we prove that differentiability and strict convexity…

Symmetric quasiconvexity plays a key role for energy minimization in geometrically linear elasticity theory. Due to the complexity of this notion, a common approach is to retreat to necessary and sufficient conditions that are easier to…
