The purpose of this article is to give an explicit formula for all curves of constant torsion $\tau$ in the unit two-sphere $S^2(1)$. These curves and their basic properties have been known since the 1890's, and some of these properties are…

Given a simply connected, closed four manifold, we associate to it a simply connected, closed, spin five manifold. This leads to several consequences : the stable and unstable homotopy groups of such a four manifold is determined by its…

We establish tight lower and upper bounds on the number of edges in traceable graphs in several classes of dense graphs. A graph is traceable if it has a Hamiltonian path. We show that the bound is: - quadratic for the class of graphs of…

We show that for all epsilon > 0, there is a constant C(epsilon) > 0 such that for all elliptic curves E defined over a number field F with j(E) in Q we have #E(F)[tors] \leq C(epsilon)[F:Q]^{5/2+epsilon}. We pursue further bounds on the…

We give an algorithm to compute the stable lengths of pseudo-Anosovs on the curve graph, answering a question of Bowditch. We also give a procedure to compute all invariant tight geodesic axes of pseudo-Anosovs. Along the way we show that…

Fractional Dehn twists give a measure of the difference between the relative isotopy class of a homeomorphism of a bordered surface and the Thurston representative of its free isotopy class. We show how to estimate and compute these…

We consider random perfect matchings on a general class of contracting bipartite graphs by letting certain edge weights be 0 on the contracting square-hexagon lattice in a periodic way. We obtain a deterministic limit shape in the scaling…

We prove that twisting and filamentation occur near a family of stable steady states for one dimensional periodic Vlasov-Poisson system, describing the electron dynamics under a fixed ion background. More precisely, we establish the growth…

We use dynamics of the Teichm$\ddot{\mathrm{u}}$ller geodesic flow to show that the action of the mapping class group on the space of projective measured foliations has stable type $III_{\lambda}$ for some $\lambda>0$. We do this by…

This paper explores the relationship between closed curves on surfaces and their intersections. Like Dehn-Thurston coordinates for simple curves, we explore how to determine closed curves using the number of times they intersect other…

We investigate contact magnetic curves in the real special linear group of degree 2. They are geodesics of the Hopf tubes over the projection curve. We prove that periodic contact magnetic curves in SL(2,R) can be quantized in the set of…

If a curve in R^3 is closed, then the curvature and the torsion are periodic functions satisfying some additional constraints. We show that these constraints can be naturally formulated in terms of the spectral problem for a 2x2 matrix…

The generalized Dehn twist along a closed curve in an oriented surface is an algebraic construction which involves intersections of loops in the surface. It is defined as an automorphism of the Malcev completion of the fundamental group of…

A new characterization of rational torsion subgroups of elliptic curves is found, for points of order greater than 4, through the existence of solution for systems of Thue equations.
