In this paper, we present necessary and sufficient combinatorial conditions for a link to be projective, that is, a link in $RP^3$. This characterization is closely related to the notions of antipodally self-dual and antipodally symmetric…

Suppose L is a link in $S^3$. We show that $\pi_1(S^3-L)$ admits an irreducible meridian-traceless representation in SU(2) if and only if L is not the unknot, the Hopf link, or a connected sum of Hopf links. As a corollary, $\pi_1(S^3-L)$…

We contribute to the classification of toroidal circle planes and flat Minkowski planes possessing three-dimensional connected groups of automorphisms. When such a group is an almost simple Lie group, we show that it is isomorphic to…

We consider the projective linear group $\mathrm{PSL}(3,\mathbb{H})$. We have investigated the reversibility problem in this group and use the reversibility to offer an algebraic characterization of the dynamical types of…

In Part I of this paper we introduced the notion of the projective linking number Link(M,Z) of a compact oriented real submanifold M of dimension 2p-1 in complex projective n-space P^n with an algebraic subvariety Z of codimension p in P^n…

A compact manifold $M$ together with a Riemannian metric $h$ on its universal cover $\tilde M$ for which $\pi_1(M)$ acts by similarities is called a similarity structure. In the case where $\pi_1(M) \not\subset \mathrm{Isom}(\tilde M, h)$…

Let $G$ be a complex simply connected semisimple Lie group and let $\Gamma$ be a torsionless uniform irreducible lattice in $G$. Then $\Gamma\backslash G$ is a compact complex non-K\"ahler manifold whose tangent bundle is holomorphically…

Let $L$ be a link in $S^3$. We consider the class of meridional presentations for $\pi_1(S^3\backslash L)$ in which the relations are witnessed by embedded two-spheres which can be represented simultaneously in a fixed diagram of $L$,…

For every pair of distinct primes $p$, $q$ we prove that $\mathbb{Z}_p^3 \times \mathbb{Z}_q$ is a CI-group with respect to binary relational structures.

For any tangle $T$ (up to isotopy) and integer $k\geq 1$ we construct a group $F(T)$ (up to isomorphism). It is the fundamental group of the configuration space of $k$ points in a horizontal plane avoiding the tangle, provided the tangle is…

A link at the origin of an isolated singularity of a two-dimensional semialgebraic surface in $\mathbb{R}^4$ is a topological knot (or link) in $S^3$. We study the connection between the ambient Lipschitz geometry of semialgebraic surface…

We give a relatively self-contained proof that if a group $G$ fibres algebraically and is part of a $\mathrm{PD}^3$-pair, then $G$ is the fundamental group of a fibred compact aspherical 3-manifold. This yields a homological proof of a…

Formal Concept Analysis makes the fundamental observation that any finite lattice $(L, \leq)$ is determined up to isomorphism by the restriction of the relation ${\leq} \subseteq L \times L$ to the set $J(L) \times M(L)$, where $J(L)$ is…

The present note contains a new proof of Y. Hashizume's 1958 theorem that every non-split link in $S^3$ admits a unique factorization into prime links. While the new proof does not go far beyond standard techniques, it is considerably…

The line geometric model of 3-D projective geometry has the nice property that the Lie algebra sl(4) of 3-D projective transformations is isomorphic to the bivector algebra of CL(3,3), and line geometry is closely related to the classical…

If $X$ is a topological space then there is a natural homomorphism $\pi_1(X)\rightarrow K_1(X)$ from a fundamental group to a $K_1$-homology group. Covering projections depend of fundamental group. So $K_1$-homology groups are interrelated…

We study the homotopy type of the space $E(L)$ of unparametrised embeddings of a split link $L=L_1\sqcup \ldots \sqcup L_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Our main result is a simple description of the fundamental group, or motion group, of $E(L)$, and…

This paper concerns complete noncompact manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Roughly, we say that M has the loops to infinity property if given any noncontractible closed curve, C, and given any compact set, K, there exists a closed…

In this paper, we give a complete characterization on which finitely generated subgroups of finitely generated $3$-manifold groups are separable. Our characterization generalizes Liu's spirality character on $\pi_1$-injective immersed…

If a finite group acts topologically, faithfully and orientation preservingly on R^3, then it is isomorphic to a subgroup of SO(3).
