Given a closed, smooth 4-manifold $X$ and self-diffeomorphism $f$ that is topologically pseudo-isotopic to the identity, we study the question of whether $f$ is moreover smoothly pseudo-isotopic to the identity. If the fundamental group of…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a foliation with a "singular" submanifold $B$ on a smooth manifold $M$ and $p:E \to B$ be a regular neighborhood of $B$ in $M$. Under certain "homogeneity" assumptions on $\mathcal{F}$ near $B$ we prove that every leaf…

Let $S$ be a Riemann surface with a puncture $x$. Let $a\subset S$ be a simple closed geodesic. In this paper, we show that for any pseudo-Anosov map $f$ of $S$ that is isotopic to the identity on $S\cup \{x\}$, $(a, f^m(a))$ fills $S$ for…

We prove that the following problem has the same computational complexity as the existential theory of the reals: Given a generic self-intersecting closed curve $\gamma$ in the plane and an integer $m$, is there a polygon with $m$ vertices…

Let $Z$ be a smooth compact $(n+1)$-manifold. We study smooth embeddings and immersions $\beta: M \to Z$ of compact or closed $n$-manifolds $M$ such that the normal line bundle $\nu^\beta$ is trivialized. For a fixed $Z$, we introduce an…

In this letter we proved this theorem: \emph{if $F$ be a holomorphic mapping of $T_{\Omega}$ to a mapping manifold $X$ such that for every compact subset $K\subset \Omega$ the mapping $F$ is uniformly continues on $T_{K}$ and $F(T_{K})$ is…

We study regularity of the time-delayed coordinate maps \[\phi_{h,k}(x) = (h(x), h(Tx), \ldots, h(T^{k-1}x))\] for a diffeomorphism $T$ of a compact manifold $M$ and smooth observables $h$ on $M$. Takens' embedding theorem shows that if $k…

We investigate shrinking maps from a cusped hyperbolic surface into the moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces. For such a map and its lift to the Teichm\"uller space, we consider whether they are quasi-isometric embeddings with respect to…

Let S be a closed connected real surface and f a smooth embedding or immersion of S into a complex surface X. Assuming that the number of complex points of the immersion (counted with algebraic multiplicities) is non-positive we prove that…

A continous map $f: \mathbb{C}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{C}^N$ is $k$-regular if the image of any $k$ points spans a $k$-dimensional subspace. It is an important problem in topology and interpolation theory, going back to Borsuk and Chebyshev,…

For a given polyhedron $K\subset M$ the notation $R_M(K)$ denotes a regular neighborhood of $K$ in $M$. We study the following problem: find all pairs $(m,k)$ such that if $K$ is a compact $k$-polyhedron and $M$ a PL $m$-manifold, then…

In this paper, we study conditions for the existence of an embedding $\widetilde{f} \colon P \to Q \times \mathbb{R}$ such that $f = \mathrm{pr}_Q \circ \widetilde{f}$, where $f \colon P \to Q$ is a piecewise linear map between polyhedra.…
