The medial axis transform is a well-known tool for shape recognition. Instead of the object contour, it equivalently describes a binary object in terms of a skeleton containing all centres of maximal inscribed discs. While this shape…

To a generic holomorphic vector bundle on an algebraic curve and an irreducible finite-dimensional representation of a semisimple Lie algebra, we assign a representation of the corresponding affine Krichever--Novikov algebra in the space of…

We study in detail the underlying graded geometric structure of abelian N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory in $(2+1)$-dimensions. This structure is an attribute of the hidden unbroken one dimensional N=2 supersymmetries that the system…

Given a $d$-dimensional convex polytope $P$ and nonnegative integer $k$ not exceeding $d-1$, let $G_k (P)$ denote the simple graph on the node set of $k$-dimensional faces of $P$ in which two such faces are adjacent if there exists a…

Several authors have recently studied virtual knots and links because they admit invariants arising from R-matrices. We prove that every virtual link is uniquely represented by a link L in S X I, a thickened, compact, oriented surface S,…

The famous Michael selection theorem deals with the characterisation of paracompact spaces by continuous selections of lower semi-continuous mappings in Banach spaces. In this paper, we will discuss several equivalent forms of this theorem,…

We show that the set of augmentations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg algebra of a Legendrian link underlies the structure of a unital A-infinity category. This differs from the non-unital category constructed in [BC], but is related to it in…

We prove that for any compact quasi-smooth strictly $k$-analytic space $X$ there exist a finite extension $l/k$ and a quasi-\'etale covering $X'\to X\otimes_kl$ such that $X'$ possesses a strictly semistable formal model. This extends a…

We associate a tower with an infinitesimal algebraic skeleton to the (2+1)-dimensional (compact and noncompact) Heisenberg spin model. In particular, we construct the absolute parallelism defining the tower and the corresponding extension…

We provide a complete set of moves relating any two Lefschetz fibrations over the disk having as their total space the same 4-dimensional 2-handlebody up to 2-equivalence. As a consequence, we also obtain moves relating diffeomorphic…

Let \Sigma be a compact Riemann surface with n distinguished points p_1,...,p_n. We prove that the set of n-tuples (\phi_1,...,\phi_n) of univalent mappings \phi_i from the open unit disc into \Sigma mapping 0 to p_i, with non-overlapping…

We show that the diameter of the image of the skinning map on the deformation space of an acylindrical reflection group is bounded by a constant depending only on the topological complexity of the components of its boundary, answering a…

For a connected smooth projective curve $X$ of genus $g$, global sections of any line bundle $L$ with $\deg(L) \geq 2g+ 1$ give an embedding of the curve into projective space. We consider an analogous statement for a Berkovich skeleton in…

Is the Universe (a spatial section thereof) finite or infinite? Knowing the global geometry of a Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre (FL) universe requires knowing both its curvature and its topology. A flat or hyperbolic (``open'') FL universe is {\em…

We show that any open set in $\R^n$ is a union of an ascending sequence of bounded open sets with analytic boundary. This is just a technical result, which is probably known. We believe, however, that it can be useful for studing BVPs on…

We compute many dimensions of spaces of finite type invariants of virtual knots (of several kinds) and the dimensions of the corresponding spaces of "weight systems", finding everything to be in agreement with the conjecture that "every…

The $\beta$-skeleton is a mathematical method to construct graphs from a set of points that has been widely applied in the areas of image analysis, machine learning, visual perception, and pattern recognition. In this work, we apply the…

We study here the Berkovich line over the ring of integers of a number field. It is a natural object which contains complex and non-Archimedean analytic spaces associated to each place. We prove that this line satisfies good topological and…

When a solenoid is embedded in three space, its complement is an open three manifold. We discuss the geometry and fundamental groups of such manifolds, and show that the complements of different solenoids (arising from different inverse…

We consider the Zariski space of all places of an algebraic function field $F|K$ of arbitrary characteristic and investigate its structure by means of its patch topology. We show that certain sets of places with nice properties (e.g., prime…
