We prove that the extended mapping class group, $\rm Mod^{*}(\Sigma_{g})$, of a connected orientable surface of genus $g$, can be generated by three involutions for $g\geq 5$. In the presence of punctures, we prove that $\rm…
Cluster algebras give rise to a class of Gorenstein rings which enjoy a large amount of symmetry. Concentrating on the rank 2 cases, we show how cluster varieties can be used to construct many interesting projective algebraic varieties. Our…

Residue-residue interactions that fold a protein into a unique three-dimensional structure and make it play a specific function impose structural and functional constraints on each residue site. Selective constraints on residue sites are…

Let M and M' be simple 3-manifolds, each with connected boundary of genus at least two. Suppose that M and M' are glued via a homeomorphism between their boundaries. Then we show that, provided the gluing homeomorphism is `sufficiently…
We study symplectic geometry of rationally connected $3$-folds. The first result shows that rationally connectedness is a symplectic deformation invariant in dimension $3$. If a rationally connected $3$-fold $X$ is Fano or $b_2(X)=2$, we…

Design - especially of physical objects - can be understood as creative acts solving practical problems. In this paper we describe a biologically-inspired developmental model as the basis of a generative form-finding system. Using local…
We give a classification of all third-order nonlinear evolution equations which admit solvable Lie symmetry algebras $\mathsf{A}$ and which are not linearized. We have found that there are 48 types of equations for $\dim\mathsf{A}=3$, 88…
This note discusses recent new approaches to studying flopping curves on 3-folds. In a joint paper, the author and Michael Wemyss introduced a 3-fold invariant, the contraction algebra, which may be associated to such curves. It…
Tight triangulations are exotic, but highly regular objects in combinatorial topology. A triangulation is tight if all its piecewise linear embeddings into a Euclidean space are as convex as allowed by the topology of the underlying…
Closed (and simply-connected) manifolds whose dimensions are greater than 4 are classified via sophisticated algebraic and abstract theory such as surgery theory and homotopy theory. It is difficult to handle 3 or 4-dimensional closed…
This paper is devoted to studying a system of coupled nonlinear first order history-dependent evolution inclusions in the framework of evolution triples of spaces. The multivalued terms are of the Clarke subgradient or of the convex…
A typical census of 3-manifolds contains all manifolds (under various constraints) that can be triangulated with at most n tetrahedra. Al- though censuses are useful resources for mathematicians, constructing them is difficult: the best…
We establish an orientifold Calabi-Yau threefold database for $h^{1,1}(X) \leq 6$ by considering non-trivial $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ divisor exchange involutions, using a toric Calabi-Yau database (http://www.rossealtman.com/toriccy/). We first…
We formulate the notion of continuous evolution algebra in terms of differentiable matrix-valued functions, to then study those such algebras arising as solutions of ODE problems. Given their dependence on natural bases, matrix Lie groups…
