The intersection matrix of a finite simplicial complex has as each of its entries the rank of the intersection of its respective simplices. We prove that such matrix defines the triangulation of a closed connected surface up to isomorphism.

For each $d\geq 0$, we prove decoupling inequalities in $\mathbb R^3$ for the graphs of all bivariate polynomials of degree at most $d$ with bounded coefficients, with the decoupling constant depending uniformly in $d$ but not the…

We consider geometric triangulations of surfaces, i.e., triangulations whose edges can be realized by disjoint locally geodesic segments. We prove that the flip graph of geometric triangulations with fixed vertices of a flat torus or a…

We show that the space of min-max minimal hypersurfaces is non-compact when the manifold has an analytic metric of positive Ricci curvature and dimension $3\leq n+1\leq 7$. Furthermore, we show that bumpy metrics with positive Ricci…

We show that there are a finite number of possible pictures for a surface in a tetrahedron with local index $n$. Combined with previous results, this establishes that any topologically minimal surface can be transformed into one with a…

There are many fundamental algorithmic problems on triangulated 3-manifolds whose complexities are unknown. Here we study the problem of finding a taut angle structure on a 3-manifold triangulation, whose existence has implications for both…

A method to define the complex structure and separate the conformal mode is proposed for a surface constructed by two-dimensional dynamical triangulation. Applications are made for surfaces coupled to matter fields such as $n$ scalar fields…

The triangulation complexity of a compact 3-manifold is the minimal number of tetrahedra in any triangulation of the 3-manifold. We compute the triangulation complexity of all elliptic 3-manifolds and all sol 3-manifolds, to within a…

In this paper we develop the compactness theorem for $\lambda$-surface in $\mathbb R^3$ with uniform $\lambda$, genus, and area growth. This theorem can be viewed as a generalization of Colding-Minicozzi's compactness theorem for…

We study the rigidity of complete, embedded constant mean curvature surfaces in R^3. Among other things, we prove that when such a surface has finite genus, then intrinsic isometries of the surface extend to isometries of R^3 or its…

We survey some recent results on biconservative surfaces in $3$-dimensional space forms $N^3(c)$ with a special emphasis on the $c=0$ and $c=1$ cases. We study the local and global properties of such surfaces, from extrinsic and intrinsic…

In this paper we study infinitesimal and finite flexibility for generic semidiscrete surfaces. We prove that generic 2-ribbon semidiscrete surfaces have one degree of infinitesimal and finite flexibility. In particular we write down a…

We classify ruled minimal surfaces in $\Bbb R^3$ with density $e^z.$ It is showed that there is no noncylindrical ruled minimal surface and there is a family of cylindrical ruled minimal surfaces in $\Bbb R^3$ with density $e^z.$ It is also…

A degree-regular triangulation is one in which each vertex has identical degree. Our main result is that any such triangulation of a (possibly non-compact) surface $S$ is geometric, that is, it is combinatorially equivalent to a geodesic…

Let $k$ be a field of arbitrary characteristic, $A$ be a domain and $K=\mathrm{frac}(A)$. Then (1) All exponential maps of $k^{[3]}$ are rigid, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the triangularity of $\delta \in…

It is conjectured that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a decomposition into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra (a "geometric" triangulation of the manifold). Under a mild homology assumption on the manifold we construct…

We prove that for any knot $K$, there exists a one-vertex triangulation of the $3$-sphere containing an edge forming $K$. The proof is constructive, and based on fully augmented links. We use our method to produce ``complicated'' simplicial…

One measure of the complexity of a 3-manifold is its triangulation complexity: the minimal number of tetrahedra in a triangulation of it. A natural question is whether we can relate this quantity to its topology. We determine the…

Any two triangulations of a closed surface with the same number of vertices can be transformed into each other by a sequence of regular flips, provided the number of vertices exceeds a number N depending on the surface. Examples show that…

We characterize the standard $\mathbb{S}^3$ as the closed Ricci-positive 3-manifold with scalar curvature at least 6 having isoperimetric surfaces of largest area: $4\pi$. As a corollary we answer in the affirmative an interesting special…
