We characterize subgroups of the mapping class group that stabilize a Teichmueller disk in terms of ellipses and strips that are immersed in the associated translation surface. In particular, we show that the space of immersed…
Those maps of a closed surface to the three-dimensional torus that are homotopic to embeddings are characterized. Particular attention is paid to the somewhat intricate case when the surface is nonorientable.
A unicellular map is the embedding of a connected graph in a surface in such a way that the complement of the graph is a topological disk. In this paper we present a bijective link between unicellular maps on a non-orientable surface and…
For real projective spaces, (a) the Euclidean immersion dimension, (b) the existence of axial maps, and (c) the topological complexity are known to be three facets of the same problem. But when it comes to embedding dimension, the classical…
Work of Glover and Huneke shows that a cubic graph embeds into the real projective plane if and only if it does not contain one of six topological minors called cubic projective plane obstructions. Here we classify up to equivalence the…
A clear understanding of topology of higher-dimensional objects is important in many branches of both pure and applied mathematics. In this survey we attempt to present some results of higher-dimensional topology in a way which makes clear…
In this paper, we construct compact embedded $\lambda$-hypersurfaces with the topology of torus which are called $\lambda$-torus in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb {R}^{n+1}$.
We describe procedures for generating all 2-cell embedded simple graphs with up to a fixed number of vertices on a given surface. We also modify these procedures to generate closed 2-cell embeddings and polyhedral embeddings. We give…
A conformal map from a Riemann surface to a Euclidean space of dimension greater than or equal to three is explained by using the Clifford algebra, in a similar fashion to quaternionic holomorphic geometry of surfaces in the Euclidean…
We show how, given a sufficiently large point cloud sampled from an embedded 2-manifold in $\mathbb{R}^n$, we may obtain a global representation as a cell complex with vertices given by a representative subset of the point cloud. The vertex…
We introduce M\"obius strip diagram algebras (and their monoid and categorical versions) as subalgebras of a partition-style diagram calculus in which strands may carry handles and M\"obius strip features. We identify the resulting diagram…
This survey may be seen as an introduction to the use of toric and tropical geometry in the analysis of plane curve singularities, which are germs $(C,o)$ of complex analytic curves contained in a smooth complex analytic surface $S$. The…
The main goal of this paper is to give a general method to compute (via computer algebra systems) an explicit set of generators of the ideals of the projective embeddings of some ruled surfaces, namely projective line bundles over curves…
We enumerate cubic (3-regular) unicellular maps on closed surfaces up to all homeomorphisms. Using the orbifold approach, we reduce the unsensed enumeration to explicit counts of quotient maps and rooted cubic/precubic maps on simpler…
The Kuratowski graphs $K_{3,3}$ and $K_5$ characterize planarity. Counting distinct 2-cell embeddings of these two graphs on orientable surfaces was previously done by using Burnside's Lemma and their automorphism groups, without actually…
For a given spatial graph $\mathcal{G} \subset \mathbb{R}^3$, we would like to find a closed orientable surface $\mathcal{S}$ embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ in which $\mathcal{G}$ is cellular embedded. However, for general $\mathcal{G}$ this is…
The main results of this paper are: (1) If a space $X$ can be embedded as a cellular subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ then $X$ admits arbitrary fine open coverings whose nerves are homeomorphic to the $n$-dimensional cube $\mathbb{D}^n$; (2)…
Representing graphs as sets of node embeddings in certain curved Riemannian manifolds has recently gained momentum in machine learning due to their desirable geometric inductive biases, e.g., hierarchical structures benefit from hyperbolic…
We prove that a compact Riemann surface can be realized as a pseudo-holomorphic curve of $(\mathbb{R}^4,J)$, for some almost complex structure $J$ if and only if it is an elliptic curve. Furthermore we show that any (almost) complex…
We prove that the asymptotic completion of a developable M\"obius strip in Euclidean three-space must have at least one singular point other than cuspidal edge singularities. Moreover, if the strip contains a closed geodesic, then the…
