A graph drawing in the plane is called an almost embedding if images of any two non-adjacent simplices (i.e. vertices or edges) are disjoint. We introduce integer invariants of almost embeddings: winding number, cyclic and triodic Wu…

{\it Fold maps} are fundamental tools in generalizing the theory of Morse functions and its application to studies of geometric properties of manifolds. One of the fundamental and important problems in the theory of fold maps is to…

We give a finite presentation of the mapping class group of an oriented (possibly bounded) surface of genus greater or equal than 1, considering Dehn twists on a very simple set of curves.

We explore Arnold's $J^+$-invariant of immersions -- planar smooth closed curves with non-vanishing derivative, at most double points and only transverse intersections -- and computation methods like Viro's sum, among others. Only basic…

We generalize an equation introduced by Benamou and Brenier, characterizing Wasserstein W_p-geodesics for p > 1, from the continuous setting of probability distributions on a Riemannian manifold to the discrete setting of probability…

We investigate functionals defined on manifolds through parameterizations. If they are to be meaningful, from a geometrical viewpoint, they ought to be invariant under reparameterizations. Standard, local, integral functionals with this…

The Hopf theorem states that homotopy classes of continuous maps from a closed connected oriented smooth $n$-manifold $M$ to the $n$-sphere are classified by their degree. Such a map is equivalent to a section of the trivial $n$-sphere…

We interpret the $q$-refined theta function $\vartheta_1$ of a log Calabi-Yau surface $(\mathbb{P},E)$ as a natural $q$-refinement of the open mirror map, defined by quantum periods of mirror curves for outer Aganagic-Vafa branes on the…

We generalize the Fenchel theorem for strong spacelike closed curves of index $1$ in the 3-dimensional Minkowski space, showing that the total curvature must be less than or equal to $2\pi$. Here strong spacelike means that the tangent…

Introducing a notion of the weighted mean sigma-r curvature and using the weighted Newton transformations we derive in this paper some integral formulae on weighted manifolds. These formulae generalize the flux formula and some of its…

For a symplectic manifold with an anti-symplectic involution having non-empty fixed locus, we construct a model of the moduli space of real sphere maps out of moduli spaces of decorated disk maps and give an explicit expression for its…

In generalized complex geometry, we revisit linear subspaces and submanifolds that have an induced generalized complex structure. We give an expression of the induced structure that allows us to deduce a smoothness criteria, we dualize the…

We characterize the wave front set $WF^P_\ast(u)$ with respect to the iterates of a linear partial differential operator with constant coefficients of a classical distribution $u\in{\mathcal D}'(\Omega)$, $\Omega$ an open subset in…

We introduce an invariant of alternating knots and links (called here WRP), namely a pair of integer polynomials associated with their two checkerboard planar graphs from their minimal diagram. We prove that the invariant is well-defined…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a compact, smooth, $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary. In this paper, we generalize nonwindowed geometric scattering transforms, which we formulate as $\mathbf{L}^q(\mathcal{M})$ norms of a cascade of…

We study moduli spaces of twisted maps to a smooth pair in arbitrary genus, and give geometric explanations for previously known comparisons between orbifold and logarithmic Gromov--Witten invariants. Namely, we study the space of twisted…

We consider the existence of invariant curves of real analytic reversible mappings which are quasi-periodic in the angle variables. By the normal form theorem, we prove that under some assumptions, the original mapping is changed into its…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a set of $n=2m+1$ points in the plane in general position. We define the graph $GM_\mathcal{P}$ whose vertex set is the set of all plane matchings on $\mathcal{P}$ with exactly $m$ edges. Two vertices in…

e study the properties of the mean-type mappings ${\bf M}\colon I^p \to I^p$ of the form $${\bf M}(x_1,\dots,x_p):=\big(M_1(x_{\alpha_{1,1}},\dots,x_{\alpha_{1,d_1}}),\dots,M_p(x_{\alpha_{p,1}},\dots,x_{\alpha_{p,d_p}})\big),$$ where $p$…

We study how the "full hierarchy" of invariant manifolds for nonautonomous integrodifference equations on the Banach spaces of $p$-integrable functions behaves under spatial discretization of Galerkin type. These manifolds include the…
