We note a simple algebraic proof of Frolkina's result that $\mathbb R^3$ does not contain uncountably many pairwise disjoint copies of the M\"obius band, and of a similar result in higher dimensions.

In this paper we prove that a smooth embedded paper Moebius band must have aspect ratio greater than $\sqrt 3$. We also prove that any sequence of smooth embedded paper Moebius bands whose aspect ratio converges to $\sqrt 3$ must converge,…

Let $A=\sqrt 3$. There are two main conjectures about paper Moebius bands. First, a smooth embedded paper Moebius band must have aspect ratio at least A. Second, any sequence of smooth embedded paper Moebius bands having aspect ratio…

We describe wild embeddings of polyhedra into $\mathbb{R}^N$ which show that the answer to the question of B.J. Baker--M. Laidacker (1989) concerning uncountable families of pairwise disjoint compacta can be twofold. The central idea of our…

In [4], the continuous cluster category was introduced. This is a topological category whose space of isomorphism classes of indecomposable objects forms a Moebius band. It was found in [4] that, in order to have a continuously triangulated…

We present a self-contained proof that the number of diameter pairs among n points in Euclidean 3-space is at most 2n-2. The proof avoids the ball polytopes used in the original proofs by Grunbaum, Heppes and Straszewicz. As a corollary we…

We prove that every knot in the 3-space bounds an embedded punctured Moebius band whose other boundary component is a quasipositive fibred knot.

The following conjecture was proposed in 2010 by S. Lando. Let M and N be two unions of the same number of disjoint circles in a sphere. Then there exist two spheres in 3-space whose intersection is transversal and is a union of disjoint…

First, we prove a special case of Knaster's problem, implying that each symmetric convex body in R^3 admits an inscribed cube. We deduce it from a theorem in equivariant topology, which says that there is no S_4-equivariant map from SO(3)…

B\'ar\'any, Kalai, and Meshulam recently obtained a topological Tverberg-type theorem for matroids, which guarantees multiple coincidences for continuous maps from a matroid complex to d-dimensional Euclidean space, if the matroid has…

Let $K$ be a nontrivial knot. For each $n\in \mathbb{N}$, we prove that the rank of its $n$th iterated Whitehead doubled knot group $\pi_1(S^3 \setminus \operatorname{WD}^n(K))$ is bounded below by $n+1$. As an application, we show that…

We introduce bounded cohomology for (pairs of) groupoids and develop homological algebra to deal with it. We generalise results of Ivanov, Frigerio and Pagliantini to this setting and show that (under topological conditions) the bounded…

Let M be a (possibly non-orientable) compact 3-manifold with (possibly empty) boundary consisting of tori and Klein bottles. Let $X\subset\partial M$ be a trivalent graph such that $\partial M\setminus X$ is a union of one disc for each…

A vertex $v$ of a 2-connected cubic graph $G$ is $\lambda$-matchable if $G$ has a spanning subgraph in which $v$ has degree three whereas every other vertex has degree one, and we let $\lambda(G)$ denote the number of such vertices.…

In this paper we give a proof of the existence of an orthogonal geodesic chord on a Riemannian manifold homeomorphic to a closed disk and with concave boundary. This kind of study is motivated by the link of the multiplicity problem with…

One can embed arbitrarily many disjoint, non-parallel, non-boundary parallel, incompressible surfaces in any three manifold with at least one boundary component of genus two or greater [4]. This paper proves the contrasting, but not…

A family of closed manifolds is called cohomologically rigid if a cohomology ring isomorphism implies a diffeomorphism for any two manifolds in the family. We establish cohomological rigidity for large families of 3-dimensional and…

We prove the rigidity of isotropic harmonic maps from a 2-torus to a complex projective space, when they are constructed from holomorphic embeddings associated to complete linear systems. We also prove that this rigidity holds for any…

In the mid-1980's, M. Gromov used his machinery of the $h$-principle to prove that there exists totally real embeddings of $S^3$ into $\mathbb{C}^3$. Subsequently, Patrick Ahern and Walter Rudin explicitly demonstrated such a totally real…

We present theoretical properties of the space of metric pairs equipped with the Gromov--Hausdorff distance. First, we establish the classical metric separability and the geometric geodesicity of this space. Second, we prove an…
