We solve the isomorphism problem for the whole class of Lins-Mandel gems (graphs encoded manifolds). We also present certain homeomorphisms of branched cyclic coverings of two-bridge hyperbolic links. As a consequence, we prove that, in in…

Suppose $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are orientable surfaces of finite topological type such that $S_{1}$ has genus at least $3$ and the complexity of $S_{1}$ is an upper bound of the complexity of $S_{2}$. Let $\varphi : \mathcal{C}(S_{1})…

A combinatorial Morse structure encodes a mapping class for a surface with boundary, and the data may be efficiently represented via a Morse diagram. This diagram determines an open book decomposition of a 3-manifold, and hence, a contact…

Let $K$ be a totally real field and $\pi$ be a regular algebraic polarized cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb A_K)$. Let $\{\rho_{\pi,\lambda}:\mathrm{Gal}_K\to\mathrm{GL}_n(\overline E_\lambda)\}_\lambda$ be the…

We complete the proof of the Generalized Smale Conjecture, apart from the case of $RP^3$, and give a new proof of Gabai's theorem for hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We use an approach based on Ricci flow through singularities, which applies…

We consider the homotopical dynamics on compact orientable surfaces of positive genus g. We establish a sufficient and necessary algebraic criterion for homotopy classes with infinitely many periodic points of maps on such surfaces in terms…

We use geometric methods to show that given any $3$-manifold $M$, and $g$ a sufficiently large integer, the mapping class group $\mathrm{Mod}(\Sigma_{g,1})$ contains a coset of an abelian subgroup of rank $\lfloor \frac{g}{2}\rfloor,$…

Let N be a compact, orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold with connected, totally geodesic boundary of genus 2. If N has Heegaard genus at least 5, then its volume is greater than 6.89. The proof of this result uses the following dichotomy:…

We show that a transverse link in a contact structure supported by an open book decomposition can be transversely braided. We also generalize Markov's theorem on when the closures of two braids represent (transversely) isotopic links.

We classify isotopy classes of automorphisms (self-homeomorphisms) of 3-manifolds satisfying the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture. The classification is similar to the classification of automorphisms of surfaces developed by Nielsen and…

We compute the Zariski closure of the Kontsevich-Zorich monodromy groups arising from certain square tiled surfaces that are geometrically motivated. Specifically we consider three surfaces that emerge as translation covers of platonic…

We study Legendrian embeddings of a compact Legendrian submanifold $L$ sitting in a closed contact manifold $(M,\xi)$ whose contact structure is supported by a (contact) open book $\mathcal{OB}$ on $M$. We prove that if $\mathcal{OB}$ has…

In [FOOO12], K. Fukaya, Y. Oh, H. Ohta, and K. Ono (FOOO) obtained the monotone symplectic manifold $S^2\times S^2$ by resolving the singularity of a toric degeneration of a Hirzebruch surface. They identified a continuum of toric fibers in…

In this paper we consider closed orientable surfaces $S$ of positive genus and $C^r$-diffeomorphisms $f:S\rightarrow S$ isotopic to the identity ($r\geq 1)$. The main objective is to study periodic open topological disks which are…

We show that on any closed contact manifold of dimension greater than 1 a contact structure with vanishing contact homology can be constructed. The basic idea for the construction comes from Giroux. We use a special open book decomposition…

In this paper we generalize the notion of regular homotopy of immersions of a closed connected n-manifold into R^{2n-1} to locally generic mappings. The main result is that if n=2 then two mappings with singularities are regularly homotopic…

In this paper we prove that the homotopy class of non-homothety linear endomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^2$ with determinant greater than 2 contains a $C^1$ open set of non-uniformly hyperbolic endomorphisms. Furthermore, we prove that the…

This paper uses algebro-topological techniques such as characteristic classes and obstruction theory, together with the $h$-principles for $\widetilde{\mathrm{G}}_2$ and $\mathrm{SL}(3;\mathbb{R})^2$ forms recently established by the author…

As a first step to a detailed study of orientifolds of Gepner models associated with Calabi-Yau manifolds, we construct crosscap states associated with anti-holomorphic involutions (with fixed points) of Calabi-Yau manifolds. We argue that…

We show that a smooth embedding of a closed 3-manifold in S^3 x R can be isotoped so that every generic level divides S^3 x t into two handlebodies (i.e., is Heegaard) provided the original embedding has a unique local maximum with respect…
