As our main theorem, we prove that a Lipschitz map from a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ into a Riemannian manifold $N$ admits a smooth approximation via immersions if the map has no singular points on $M$ in the sense of F.H. Clarke,…

We consider discrete minimal surface algebras (DMSA) as generalized noncommutative analogues of minimal surfaces in higher dimensional spheres. These algebras appear naturally in membrane theory, where sequences of their representations are…

A quadrangulation is a graph embedded on the sphere such that each face is bounded by a walk of length 4, parallel edges allowed. All quadrangulations can be generated by a sequence of graph operations called vertex splitting, starting from…

Special-generic-like maps or SGL maps are introduced by the author motivated by observing and investigating algebraic topological or differential topological properties of manifolds via nice smooth maps whose codimensions are negative. The…

It is well known since Noether that the gonality of a smooth plane curve of degree d>3 is d-1. Given a k-dimensional complex projective variety X, the most natural extension of gonality is probably the degree of irrationality, that is the…

It is known that any periodic map of order $n$ on a closed oriented surface of genus $g$ can be equivariantly embedded into $S^m$ for some $m$. In the orientable and smooth category, we determine the smallest possible $m$ when $n\geq 3g$.…

We prove that in any $\mathbb{Z}^n$-periodic triangulation of $\mathbb{R}^n$ the number of $\mathbb{Z}^n$-orbits of $n$-dimensional simplices is at least the tensor rank of the $n$th determinant tensor. The latter is known to be at least…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field that is complete with respect to a non-Archimedean absolute value, and let $\varphi\in K(z)$ have degree $d\geq 2$. We characterize maps for which the minimal resultant of an iterate $\varphi^n$ is…

Consider a surface $\Sigma$ with punctures that serve as marked points and at least one marked point on each boundary component. We build a filling surface $\Sigma_n$ by singling out one of the boundary components and denoting by $n$ the…

Fold maps are smooth maps at each singular point of which it is represented as the product map of a Morse function and the identity map. Round fold maps are, in short, such maps the sets of all singular points of which are embedded…

How much cutting is needed to simplify the topology of a surface? We provide bounds for several instances of this question, for the minimum length of topologically non-trivial closed curves, pants decompositions, and cut graphs with a given…
