We show that a realization of a closed connected PL-manifold of dimension n-1 in Euclidean n-space (n>2) is the boundary of a convex polyhedron if and only if the interior of each (n-3)-face has a point, which has a neighborhood lying on…

We show that two orientable, four-dimensional folded symplectic toric manifolds are isomorphic provided that their orbit spaces have trivial degree-two integral cohomology and there exists a diffeomorphism of the orbit spaces (as manifolds…

In the present paper we study the problem of constructing a family of surfaces (surface pencils) from a given curve in 4-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^{4}$. We have shown that generalized rotation surfaces in $\mathbb{E}^{4}$ are…

We construct an irreducible embedded projective plane in $S^4$. This gives a counterexample to the Kinoshita conjecture and answers Problem 4.37 of the K3 problem list. Moreover, we answer both Questions (i) and (ii) of Problem 4.37: (i)…

We study smooth, proper embeddings of noncompact surfaces in 4-manifolds, focusing on exotic planes and annuli, i.e., embeddings pairwise homeomorphic to the standard embeddings of R^2 and R^2-int D^2 in R^4. We encounter two uncountable…

We study the space of conformal immersions of a 2-torus into the 4-sphere. The moduli space of generalized Darboux transforms of such an immersed torus has the structure of a Riemann surface, the spectral curve. This Riemann surface arises…

We prove that any properly oriented $C^{2,1}$ isometric immersion of a positively curved Riemannian surface M into Euclidean 3-space is uniquely determined, up to a rigid motion, by its values on any curve segment in M. A generalization of…

Comessatti proved that the set of real points of a rational real algebraic surface is either a nonorientable surface, or the two-sphere, or the torus. Conversely, it is easy to see that all of these surfaces admit a rational real algebraic…

We show that every smooth closed oriented four-manifold admits a decomposition into two co- dimension zero submanifolds with common boundary. Each of these submanifolds carries a structure of a symplectic manifold with pseudo-convex…

We establish a lower bound for the surface area of a closed, convex hypersurface in Euclidean space in terms of its displacement under continuous maps. As a result, a hypothesized lower bound for the volume of a Riemannian $n$-sphere,…
