We seek to connect ideas in the theory of bridge trisections with other well-studied facets of classical knotted surface theory. First, we show how the normal Euler number can be computed from a tri-plane diagram, and we use this to give a…
We show that a rational normal scroll can in general be set-theoretically defined by a proper subset of the 2-minors of the associated two-row matrix. This allows us to find a class of rational normal scrolls that are almost set-theoretic…
A normally regular digraph with parameters $(v,k,\lambda,\mu)$ is a directed graph on $v$ vertices whose adjacency matrix $A$ satisfies the equation $AA^t=k I+\lambda (A+A^t)+\mu(J-I-A-A^t)$. This means that every vertex has out-degree $k$,…
We derive simplified normal forms for an area-preserving map in a neighbourhood of a degenerate resonant elliptic fixed point. Such fixed points appear in generic two-parameter families of area-preserving maps. We also derive a simplified…
A rational triangle is a triangle with rational side lengths. We consider three different families of rational triangles having a fixed side and whose vertices are rational points in the plane. We display a one-to-one correspondence between…
When studying families in the moduli space of dynamical systems, choosing an appropriate representative function for a conjugacy class can be a delicate task. The most delicate questions surround rationality of the conjugacy class compared…
The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, the study of $C_{12}$-structure (called by us corner structure) is extended to the general case without any condition, unlike our previous papers (see, \cite{BB, BG2, BG, BBB}). Second, starting…
Defined on Birman-Ko-Lee monoids, the rotating normal form has strong connections with the Dehornoy's braid ordering. It can be seen as a process for selecting between all the representative words of a Birman-Ko-Lee braid a particular one,…
The concept of a normal surface in a triangulated, compact 3-manifold was generalised by Thurston to a spun-normal surface in a non-compact 3-manifold with ideal triangulation. This paper defines a boundary curve map which takes a…
Given a proper, rational map of balls, D'Angelo and Xiao introduced five natural groups encoding properties of the map. We study these groups using a recently discovered normal form for rational maps of balls. Using this normal form, we…
We give a short constructive proof for the existence and uniqueness of the rational normal form of a quadratic matrix.
We classify connected sums of three-dimensional lens spaces which smoothly bound rational homology balls. We use this result to determine the order of each lens space in the group of rational homology 3-spheres up to rational homology…
For the cotangent bundle of a smooth Riemannian manifold acted upon by the lift of a smooth and proper action by isometries of a Lie group, we characterize the symplectic normal space at any point. We show that this space splits as the…
We analyse the normal quotient structure of several infinite families of finite connected edge-transitive, four-valent oriented graphs. These families were singled out by Marusic and others to illustrate various different internal…
It is known that in the lattice of normal extensions of the logic KTB there are unique logics of codimensions 1 and 2, namely, the logic of a single reflexive point, and the logic of the total relation on two points. A natural question…
We discuss various bifurcation problems in which two isolated periodic orbits exchange periodic ``bridge'' orbit(s) between two successive bifurcations. We propose normal forms which locally describe the corresponding fixed point scenarios…
The theory of linear transports along paths in vector bundles, generalizing the parallel transports generated by linear connections, is developed. The normal frames for them are defined as ones in which their matrices are the identity…
A triangle with rational sides and rational area is called a rational triangle. In this paper we consider three problems of finding pairs of rational triangles which have a common circumradius as well as either a common perimeter or a…
In this paper a classification of tetravalent edge-transitive metacirculants is given. It is shown that a tetravalent edge-transitive metacirculant $\Gamma$ is a normal graph except for four known graphs. If further, $\Gamma$ is a Cayley…
We introduce an oriented rational band move, a generalization of an ordinary oriented band move, and show that if a knot $K$ in the three-sphere can be made into the $(n+1)$-component unlink by $n$ oriented rational band moves, then $K$ is…
