We develop a novel approach to the Brill-Noether theory of curves endowed with a degree k cover of the projective line via Bridgeland stability conditions on elliptic K3 surfaces. We first develop the Brill-Noether theory on elliptic K3…

In this work we systematically derive the governing equations of supersonic conical flow by projecting the 3D Euler equations onto the unit sphere. These equations result from taking the assumption of conical invariance on the 3D flow…

We prove the finiteness of the number of blow-analytic equivalence classes of embedded plane curve germs for any fixed number of branches and for any fixed value of $\mu'$ ---a combinatorial invariant coming from the dual graphs of good…

For every connected graph $G$ and surface $S$, we consider the well-known string of inequalities $\delta_S(G) \leq \mu_S(G) \leq \nu_S(G)$, where $\mu$ and $\nu$ denote skewness and crossing number and $\delta$ is the Euler-formula lower…

We wish to draw attention to an interesting and promising interaction of two theories. On the one hand, it is the theory of \textbf{pseudo-triangulations} which was useful for implicit solution of thecarpenter's rule problem and proved…

We introduce and study bridge decompositions for 3-manifolds embedded in the 5-sphere. These generalize both the classical notion of bridge position for knots in the 3-sphere and the bridge trisections of surfaces in the 4-sphere due to…

In this paper, we define the \textit{normal form} of collections of disjoint three \textit{bridge arcs} for a given rational $3$-tangle. We show that there is a sequence of \textit{normal jump moves} which leads one to the other for two…

We study the spatial isosceles three body problem, which is a system with two degrees of freedom after modulo the rotation symmetry. For certain choices of energy and angular momentum, we find some disk-like global surfaces of section with…

In this article we discuss classical theorems from Convex Geometry in the context of topological drawings and beyond. In a simple topological drawing of the complete graph $K_n$, any two edges share at most one point: either a common vertex…

Milnor's triple linking numbers of a link in the 3-sphere are interpreted geometrically in terms of the pattern of intersections of the Seifert surfaces of the components of the link. This generalizes the well known formula as an algebraic…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane. A crossing-free structure on $P$ is a plane graph with vertex set $P$. Examples of crossing-free structures include triangulations of $P$, spanning cycles of $P$, also known as polygonalizations…

An important issue in classifying the rational $3$-tangle is how to know whether or not the given tangle is the trivial rational 3-tangle called $\infty$-tangle. The author\cite{1} provided a certain algorithm to detect the $\infty$-tangle.…

In this short note we show the existence of an epimorphism between groups of $2$-bridge knots by means of an elementary argument using the Riley polynomial. As a corollary, we give a classification of $2$-bridge knots by Riley polynomials.

Given a directed graph $G$ and a pair of nodes $s$ and $t$, an $s$-$t$ bridge of $G$ is an edge whose removal breaks all $s$-$t$ paths of $G$. Similarly, an $s$-$t$ articulation point of $G$ is a node whose removal breaks all $s$-$t$ paths…
