In the study of exceptional Dehn fillings, two functions on slopes, called the Euclidean length on a horotorus and the Culler-Shalen norm, play important roles. In this paper, we investigate their relationship and establish two inequalities…

We construct new infinite classes of Euclidean supersymmetric solutions of four dimensional minimal gauged supergravity comprising a $U (1) \times U (1)$-invariant asymptotically locally hyperbolic metric on the total space of orbifold line…

We give a complete characterization of all eternal solutions $b(x,t)$ of the KPZ fixed point satisfying the asymptotic slope condition $\lim_{|x| \to \infty} \frac{b(x,0)}{x} = 2\xi$. For fixed $\xi$, there is exactly one eternal solution…

We establish sharp bounds for the slopes of curves in $\bar{M}_g$ that sweep the locus of trigonal curves, proving Stankova-Frenkel's conjectured bound of $7+6/g$ for even $g$ and obtaining the bound $7+20/(3g+1)$ for odd $g$. For even $g$,…

Let $T$ be a triangulation of a Riemann surface. We show that the 1-skeleton of $T$ may be oriented so that there is a global bound on the outdegree of the vertices. Our application is to construct extremal metrics on triangulations formed…

Using the Hatcher-Oertel algorithm for finding boundary slopes of Montesinos knots, we prove the Slope Conjecture and the Strong Slope Conjecture for a family of 3-tangle pretzel knots. More precisely, we prove that the maximal degrees of…

If a knot K in a closed, orientable 3-manifold M has a bridge surface T with distance at least 3 in the curve complex of T - K, then the genus of any essential surface in its exterior with non-empty, non-meridional boundary gives rise to an…

In this paper we completely characterize the norm attainment set of a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space. This partially answers a question raised recently in [\textit{D. Sain, On the norm attainment set of a bounded linear…

This article surveys recent results aiming at obtaining refined mapping estimates for the X-ray transform on a Riemannian manifold with boundary, which leverage the condition that the boundary be strictly geodesically convex. These…

Using twisted nearby cycles, we define a new notion of slopes for complex holonomic D-modules. We prove a boundedness result for these slopes, study their functoriality and use them to characterize regularity. For a family of (possibly…

Concerning the set of exceptional surgery slopes for a hyperbolic knot, Lackenby and Meyerhoff proved that the maximal cardinality is 10 and the maximal diameter is 8. Their proof is computer-aided in part, and both bounds are achieved…

We classify Dehn surgeries on (p,q,r) pretzel knots resulting in a manifold M(s) having cyclic fundamental group and analyze those leading to a finite fundamental group. The proof uses the theory of cyclic and finite surgeries developed by…

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition on a polynomial $P(t_1,t_2)$ for the $\ell^{p}$ boundedness of the discrete double Hilbert transforms associated with $P(t)$ for $1 < p < \infty$. The proof is based on the multi-parameter…

We extend Culler and Shalen's construction of detecting essential surfaces in 3-manifolds to 3-orbifolds. We do so in the setting of the $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ character variety, and following Boyer and Zhang in the…

We give a simple sufficient condition for a spun-normal surface in an ideal triangulation to be incompressible, namely that it is a vertex surface with non-empty boundary which has a quadrilateral in each tetrahedron. While this condition…

We study the $\mathbb{CP}^2$-slicing number of knots, i.e. the smallest $m\geq 0$ such that a knot $K\subseteq S^3$ bounds a properly embedded, null-homologous disk in a punctured connected sum $(\#^m\mathbb{CP}^2)^{\times}$. We give a…

Let $(X, D)$ be a log smooth log canonical pair such that $K_X+D$ is ample. Extending a theorem of Guenancia and building on his techniques, we show that negatively curved K\"{a}hler-Einstein crossing edge metrics converge to…

In this note we prove an effective characterization of when two finite-degree covers of a connected, orientable surface of negative Euler characteristic are isomorphic in terms of which curves have simple elevations, weakening the…

We consider a class of complete Kahler manifolds with a strictly pseudoconvex boundary at infinity. After studying its asymptotic geometry, we formulate a conjecture in the Kahler-Einstein case relating the bottom of spectrum to the CR…

We classify positive tight contact structures, up to isotopy fixing the boundary, on the manifolds $N=M(D^{2}; r_1, r_2)$ with minimal convex boundary of slope $s$ and Giroux torsion 0 along $\partial N$, where $r_1,r_2\in…
