The following problem was proposed in 2010 by S. Lando. Let $M$ and $N$ be two unions of the same number of disjoint circles in a sphere. Do there always exist two spheres in 3-space such that their intersection is transversal and is a…

We consider $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes which can be PL embedded in the $2d$-dimensional euclidean space. In short, we show that in any such complex, for any three vertices, the intersection of the link-complexes of the vertices is…

We study balls of homogeneous cubics on $\mathbb R^n$, $n = 2,3$, which are bounded by unity on the unit sphere. For $n = 2$ we completely describe the facial structure of this norm ball, while for $n = 3$ we classify all extremal points…

We describe the constructible derived category of sheaves on the $n$-sphere, stratified in a point and its complement, as a dg module category of a formal dg algebra. We prove formality by exploring two different methods: As a combinatorial…

We show that for all $n \geq 2$, there exists a doubling linearly locally contractible metric space $X$ that is topologically a $n$-sphere such that every weak tangent is isometric to $\R^n$ but $X$ is not quasisymmetrically equivalent to…

Let $P^{2n+1}$ be a two-cell complex which is formed by attaching a $(2n+1)$--cell to a $2m$--sphere by a suspension map. We construct a universal space $U$ for $P^{2n+1}$ in the category of homotopy associative, homotopy commutative…

We prove that if a topological sphere smoothly embedded into $\mathbb{R}^3$ with normal curvatures absolutely bounded by $1$ is contained in an open ball of radius $2$, then the region it bounds must contain a unit ball. This result…

A set in $\mathbb R^d$ is called almost-equidistant if for any three distinct points in the set, some two are at unit distance apart. First, we give a short proof of the result of Bezdek and L\'angi claiming that an almost-equidistant set…

We define a monodromy homomorphism for irreducible families of regular elliptic fibrations which takes values in the mapping class group of a punctured sphere. We compute the monodromy for elliptic fibrations only which contain no singular…

This paper investigates several distinct attempts to generalize in higher dimension the standard 2-dimensional phyllotaxy set construction. We first recall known contructions for these sets on $2D$ manifolds of constant curvature (the…

The trace of $n$-framed surgery on a knot in $S^3$ is a 4-manifold homotopy equivalent to the 2-sphere. We characterise when a generator of the second homotopy group of such a manifold can be realised by a locally flat embedded 2-sphere…

A hex sphere is a singular Euclidean sphere with four cone points whose cone angles are (integer) multiples of $\frac{2\pi}{3}$ but less than $2\pi$. We prove that the Moduli space of hex spheres of unit area is homeomorphic to the the…

For every $n \geq 4$, we demonstrate the existence of non-isotopic smooth $(n-2)$-knots in $S^n$ with diffeomorphic traces by generalising the RBG link construction to all dimensions. Conversely, we prove that for every $n \geq 4$, the…

This paper demonstrates the expand-contract plasticity of the unit spheres of $\ell_1$, $\ell_{\infty}$, and $c$. Furthermore, it establishes the strong plasticity of the unit spheres of Hilbert spaces.

The medial axis of a smoothly embedded surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ consists of all points for which the Euclidean distance function on the surface has at least two minima. We generalize this notion to the mid-sphere axis, which consists of…

Cohen, Moore, and Neisendorfer's work on the odd primary homotopy theory of spheres and Moore spaces, as well as the first author's work on the secondary suspension, predicted the existence of a p-local fibration S^2n-1 --> T --> \Omega…

We introduce the concept of a standard form for two embedded maximal sphere systems in the doubled handlebody, and we prove an existence and uniqueness result. In particular, we show that pairs of maximal sphere systems in the doubled…

In this article, using the computer, are enumerated all locally-rigid packings by $N$ congruent circles (spherical caps) on the unit sphere ${\Bbb S}^2 $ with $N < 12.$ This is equivalent to the enumeration of irreducible spherical contact…

We construct a large class of pathological $n$-dimensional topological spheres in ${\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ by showing that for any Cantor set $C\subset {\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ there is a topological embedding $f:{\mathbb S}^n\to{\mathbb R}^{n+1}$ of…

We consider two disjoint sets of points. If at least one of the sets can be embedded into an Euclidean space, then we provide sufficient conditions for the two sets to be jointly embedded in one Euclidean space. In this joint Euclidean…
