We consider the geometry of a class of fractal sets in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ that generalise the famous Koch curve and Koch snowflake. While the classical Koch curve is defined by an iterative process that divides a line segment into three parts…
We introduce a construction of the Koch snowflake that is not inherently six-way symmetrical, based on iteratively placing similar rhombi. This construction naturally splits the snowflake into four identical self-similar curves, in contrast…
The Hopf surfaces provide a family of minimal non-K\"ahler surfaces of class VII on which little is known about the Chern-Ricci flow. We use a construction of Gauduchon-Ornea for locally conformally K\"ahler metrics on primary Hopf surfaces…
The Koch snowflake is a classical example of a planar curve with infinite perimeter enclosing a finite, positive area. Although such examples are well known individually, classical treatments typically analyze each construction in isolation…
The n-solvable filtration $\{\mathcal{F}_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$ of the smooth knot concordance group (denoted by $\mathcal{C}$), due to Cochran-Orr-Teichner, has been instrumental in the study of knot concordance in recent years. Part of its…
We construct K3 surfaces over number fields that have good reduction everywhere. These do not exists over the rational numbers, by results of Abrashkin and Fontaine. Our surfaces exist for three quadratic number fields, and an infinite…
Let $K\subset\mathbb R^d$ be a compact subset equipped with a $\delta$-Ahlfors regular measure $\mu$. For any $\tau>1/d$ and any ``inhomogeneous'' vector $\boldsymbol{\theta}\in\mathbb R^d$, let $W_d(\psi_\tau,\boldsymbol{\theta})$ denote…
This article concerns the dimension theory of the graphs of a family of functions which include the well-known 'popcorn function' and its pyramid-like higher-dimensional analogues. We calculate the box and Assouad dimensions of these…
This paper is concerned with restricted families of projections in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ be a Borel set with Hausdorff dimension $\dim K = s > 1$. If $\mathcal{G}$ is a smooth and sufficiently well-curved…
We use a Heegaard splitting of the topological 3-sphere as a guiding principle to construct a family of its noncommutative deformations. The main technical point is an identification of the universal C*-algebras defining our quantum…
Starting from Gauss and Kelvin, knots in fields were postulated behaving like particles, but experimentally they were found only as transient features or required complex boundary conditions to exist and couldn't self-assemble into…
Self-organized three-dimensional (3D) ion Coulomb crystals in linear Paul traps naturally form concentric shells that provide a curved, atomically resolved interface for studying two-dimensional (2D) nanofriction. Building on earlier…
We exhibit families of Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on K3 surfaces which collapse to an interval, with Tian-Yau and Taub-NUT metrics occurring as bubbles. There is a corresponding continuous surjective map from the K3 surface to the interval,…
We investigate the approximate j-dimensionality of the singularity sets of minimal surfaces prescribed by Simon. This leads to the clasification of 8 variations of approximately j-dimensional surfacs in terms of dimension and locally finite…
Assuming Jensen's diamond principle ($\diamondsuit$) we construct for every natural number $n>0$ a compact Hausdorff space $K$ such that whenever the Banach spaces $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ are isomorphic for some compact Hausdorff $L$, then the…
We study Fano fourfolds of K3 type with a conic bundle structure. We construct direct geometrical links between these fourfolds and hyperK\"ahler varieties. As a result we describe families of nodal surfaces that can be seen as…
We study how the Hausdorff measure is distributed in nonsymmetric narrow cones in $\mathbb{R}^n$. As an application, we find an upper bound close to $n-k$ for the Hausdorff dimension of sets with large $k$-porosity. With $k$-porous sets we…
Topological solitons are knots in continuous physical fields classified by non-zero Hopf index values. Despite arising in theories that span many branches of physics, from elementary particles to condensed matter and cosmology, they remain…
We propose coating spherical particles or droplets with anisotropic nano-sized objects to allow micron-scale colloids to link or functionalize with a four-fold valence, similar to the sp3 hybridized chemical bonds associated with, e.g.,…
The symmetric Grothendieck polynomials representing Schubert classes in the $K$-theory of Grassmannians are generating functions for semistandard set-valued tableaux. We construct a type $A_n$ crystal structure on these tableaux. This…
