In 1952 Bing published a wild (not topologically conjugate to smooth) involution $I$ of the 3-sphere $S^3$. But exactly how wild is it, analytically? We prove that any involution $I^h$, topologically conjugate to $I$, must have a nearly…

In 1952 Bing astonished the mathematical world with his wild involution on $S^3$. It has been among the most seminal examples in topology. The example depends on finding shrinking homeomorphisms of Bing's decomposition of $S^3$ into points…

This paper establishes an equivalence between existence of free involutions on $H{\Bbb C}P^3$ and existence of involutions on $S^6$ with fixed point set an imbedded $S^3$, then a family of counterexamples of the Smith conjecture for…

We give a short proof of Bing's characterization of $S^3$: a compact, connected 3-manifold $M$ is $S^3$ if and only if every knot in $M$ is isotopic into a ball.

For every $2 < p < 3$, we show that $u \in W^{1,p}(B^3; S^2)$ can be strongly approximated by maps in $C^\infty(\Bar{B}^3; S^2)$ if, and only if, the distributional Jacobian of $u$ vanishes identically. This result was originally proved by…

We study the basic question of characterizing which boundary homeomorphisms of the unit sphere can be extended to a Sobolev homeomorphism of the interior in 3D space. While the planar variants of this problem are well-understood, completely…

We study the interpolation property of Sobolev spaces of order 1 denoted by $W^{1}_{p,V}$, arising from Schr\"{o}dinger operators with positive potential. We show that for $1\leq p_1<p<p_2<q_{0}$ with $p>s_0$, $W^{1}_{p,V}$ is a real…

In this paper we present a new characterization of the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}$, $1<p<\infty$ which is a higher dimensional version of a result of Waterman. We also provide a new and simplified proof of a recent result of Alabern, Mateu and…

Let $L$ be an alternating prime non-split link in $S^3$. We use the category of flypes between reduced alternating diagrams for $L$ to classify involutions on $L$. As consequences, we show that the quotient of an alternating periodic link…

We work in a class of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$ maps, with $p > d-1$, from a bounded open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ that do not exhibit cavitation and whose trace on $\partial \Omega$ is also $W^{1,p}$. Under the…

In this paper we study bielliptic curves of genus 3 defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ and the intersection of the moduli space $\M_3^b$ of such curves with the hyperelliptic moduli $\H_3$. Such intersection $\S$ is an…

In the Euclidean setting the Sobolev spaces $W^{\alpha,p}\cap L^\infty$ are algebras for the pointwise product when $\alpha>0$ and $p\in(1,\infty)$. This property has recently been extended to a variety of geometric settings. We produce a…

We investigate boundedness results for families of holomorphic symplectic varieties up to birational equivalence. We prove the analogue of Zarhin's trick by for $K3$ surfaces by constructing big line bundles of low degree on certain moduli…

We construct families of birational involutions on $\mathbb{P}^3$ or a smooth cubic threefold which do not fit into a non-trivial elementary relation of Sarkisov links. As a consequence, we construct new homomorphisms from their group of…

The paper is about a Painlev\'e III equation and its relation to isomonodromic families of vector bundles on P^1 with meromorphic connections. The purpose of the paper is two-fold: it offers a conceptual language for the geometrical objects…

We give explicit cubic equations for the wild character varieties corresponding to the rank 3 representations of Painlev\'e equations, and compare them to the ones of their classical rank 2 representations.

Given a general K3 surface S of degree 18, lattice theoretic considerations allow to predict the existence of an anti-symplectic birational involution $\phi$ of the Hilbert cube $S^{[3]}$. We describe this involution in terms of the Mukai…

We prove that $W^{1}_{p}$ is an interpolation space between $W^{1}_{p_{1}}$ and $W^{1}_{p_{2}}$ for $p>q_{0}$ and $1\leq p_{1}<p<p_{2}\leq \infty$ on some classes of manifolds and general metric spaces, where $q_{0}$ depends on our…

We study the regularity of the bilinear maximal operator when applied to Sobolev functions, proving that it maps $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}) \times W^{1,q}(\mathbb{R}) \to W^{1,r}(\mathbb{R})$ with $1 <p,q < \infty$ and $r\geq 1$, boundedly and…

We show that limits of sequences of smooth maps between compact Riemannian manifolds with equi-integrable $W^{1, p}$-Sobolev energy can always be strongly approximated by smooth maps, giving a counterpart of Hang's density result in $W^{1,…
