We classify 3-braid knots whose topological 4-genus coincides with their Seifert genus, using McCoy's twisting method and the Xu normal form. In addition, we give upper bounds for the topological 4-genus of positive and strongly…

We show the existence of infinitely many prime knots each of which having in their complements meridional essential surfaces with two boundary components and arbitrarily high genus.

We study extremality properties of covering families of rational curves on projective varieties. Among others, we show that on a normal and Q-factorial projective variety of dimension at most 4, every covering and quasi-unsplit family of…

We classify Fano polygons with finite mutation class. This classification exploits a correspondence between Fano polygons and cluster algebras, refining the notion of singularity content due to Akhtar and Kasprzyk. We also introduce…

The system with the square shoulder (SS) potential is considered in the frame of Mode Coupling Theory (MCT) approach. An approximation for the structure factor is used that emphasizes the quasibinary character of the system. The qualitative…

It is well known that there are totally 130 deformation families of quasi-smooth terminal weighted hypersurface Fano threefolds and all members belonging to 95 families of Fano indices one are birationally rigid. Among remaining $35$…

In this article we consider the behavior in the vicinity of infinity of the class of all planar quadratic differential systems. This family depends on twelve parameters but due to action of the affine group and re-scaling of time the family…

For each nonnegative integer m we show that any closed, oriented topological four-manifold with fundamental group Z_{4m+2} and odd intersection form, with possibly seven exceptions, either admits no smooth structure or admits infinitely…

We construct and study a family of double-periodic almost entire solutions of the maximal surface equation. The solutions are parameterized by a submanifold of $3\times 3$-matrices (the so-called generating matrices). We show that the…

In this note we construct an unlimited family of irregular algebraic surfaces of general type with canonical map of degree $ 8 $, irregularity $ 1 $ and arbitrarily large geometric genus such that the image of the canonical map is not a…

We show that every orthogonal polyhedron of genus at most 2 can be unfolded without overlap while using only a linear number of orthogonal cuts (parallel to the polyhedron edges). This is the first result on unfolding general orthogonal…

We find a 2-parameter family of deformations in R^4_1 of the classical Chen-Gackstatter surface explicitly, and show the existence of a larger 4-parameter family of deformations. Each of them still has genus one, a unique end, with total…

In his lecture notes on mean curvature flow, Ilmanen conjectured the existence of noncompact self-shrinkers with arbitrary genus. Here, we employ min-max techniques to give a rigorous existence proof for these surfaces. Conjecturally, the…

Let $\Phi$ be an irreducible root system (other than $G_2$) of rank at least $2$, let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field with $p = \operatorname{char} \mathbb{F} > 3$, and let $\mathrm{G}(\Phi,\mathbb{F})$ be the corresponding Chevalley group.…

Confocal conics form an orthogonal net. Supplementing this net with one of the following: 1) the net of Cartesian coordinate lines aligned along the principal axes of conics, 2) the net of Apollonian pencils of circles whose foci coincide…

We investigate the problem of when big mapping class groups are generated by involutions. Restricting our attention to the class of self-similar surfaces, which are surfaces with self-similar ends space, as defined by Mann and Rafi, and…

In this work we consider foliations of compact manifolds whose holonomy pseudo-group is expansive, and analyze their number of compact leaves. Our main result is that in the codimension-one case this number is at most finite, and we give…

We prove that orientable index one minimal surfaces in spherical space forms with large fundamental group have genus at most two. This confirms a conjecture of R. Schoen for an infinite class of 3-manifolds.

We address the following question: what are the cardinalities of maximal finite families of pairwise incident planes in a complex projective space? One proves easily that the span of the planes has dimension 5 or 6. Up to projectivities…

We give examples of Fano varieties $X$ with Picard number 1, which have terminal singularities and admit endomorphisms with degree larger than 1.
