Classes of branched surfaces extend the classes of surfaces or 2-dimensional manifolds satisfying suitable properties and defined in various manners. Reeb spaces of smooth maps of suitable classes into surfaces whose codimensions are…
We generalize the following result of White: Suppose $N$ is a compact, strictly convex domain in $\RR^3$ with smooth boundary. Let $\Sigma$ be a compact 2-manifold with boundary. Then a generic smooth curve $\Gamma\cong \partial\Sigma$ in…
Given a compact four-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ with boundary, we study the problem of existence of Riemannian metrics on $M$ conformal to $g$ with prescribed $Q$-curvature in the interior $\mathring{M}$ of $M$, and zero…
The Masur domain is a subset of the space of projective measured geodesic laminations on the boundary of a 3-manifold M. This domain plays an important role in the study of the hyperbolic structures on the interior of M. In this paper, we…
We show that a Kleinian surface group, or hyperbolic 3-manifold with a cusp-preserving homotopy-equivalence to a surface, has bounded geometry if and only if there is an upper bound on an associated collection of coefficients that depend…
We review recent progress on two closely related sets of questions concerning convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds, or convex domains in those manifolds, such as their convex core. The first set of questions is to what extent the…
It is well known that a three dimensional (closed, connected and compact) manifold is obtained by identifying boundary faces from a polyhedron P. The study of (\partial P)/~, the boundary \partial P with the polygonal faces identified in…
This is the first of two articles in which we investigate the geometry of free boundary and capillary minimal surfaces in balls $B_R\subset\mathbb{S}^3$. In this article, we extend our previous half-space intersection properties to warped…
We give a proof of existence of centre manifolds within large domains for systems with an integral of motion. The proof is based on a combination of topological tools, normal forms and rigorous-computer-assisted computations. We apply our…
In Part I we gave a polynomial growth lower-bound for the number of nodal domains of a Hecke-Maass cuspform in a compact part of the modular surface, assuming a Lindel\"of hypothesis. That was a consequence of a topological argument and…
Motivated by fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) problems in computational topology, we consider the treewidth of a compact, connected 3-manifold $M$ defined by \[ \operatorname{tw}(M) =…
We investigate the overdetermined torsion problem $\begin{cases} -\Delta u = 1 & \text{in}\ \Omega\\ u=0 & \text{on}\ \partial \Omega\\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}=\text{const.} & \text{on}\ \partial \Omega, \end{cases}$ where $\Omega$…
We offer a new proof that two closed oriented 4-manifolds are cobordant if their signatures agree, in the spirit of Lickorish's proof that all closed oriented 3-manifolds bound 4-manifolds. Where Lickorish uses Heegaard splittings we use…
We determine which closed orientable $3$-manifolds $M$ admit a self-homeomorphism restricting to a pseudo-Anosov map on an incompressible subsurface $\Sigma$, which we call a pseudo-Anosov surface. When $M$ is irreducible, we show that the…
In this paper we prove that a complete, embedded minimal surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite topology and compact boundary (possibly empty) is conformally a compact Riemann surface $\overline{M}$ with boundary punctured in a finite…
On a finite-volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold, we establish an upper bound on the area of closed embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature at least one, depending on the mean curvature and the genus bounds. This area bound implies…
We establish the following Hadamard--Stoker type theorem: Let $f:M^n\rightarrow\mathscr{H}^n\times\mathbb R$ be a complete connected hypersurface with positive definite second fundamental form, where $\mathscr H^n$ is a Hadamard manifold.…
We use tools from $n$-dimensional Brownian motion in conjunction with the Feynman-Kac formulation of heat diffusion to study nodal geometry on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$. On one hand we extend a theorem of Lieb and prove that any…
Given an Euclidean space, this paper elucidates the topological link between the partial derivatives of the Minkowski functional associated to a set (assumed to be compact, convex, with a differentiable boundary and a non-empty interior)…
The article is devoted to the question whether the orbit space of a compact linear group is a topological manifold and a homological manifold. In the paper, the case of a simple three-dimensional group is considered. An upper bound is…
