In this paper, we study Morse functions with regular level sets consisting of spheres, tori, or Klein Bottles on $3$-dimensional closed manifolds. We characterize $3$-dimensional manifolds represented by connected sums each of whose…
Constrained Willmore surfaces are critical points of the Willmore functional under conformal variations. As shown in [5] one can associate to any conformally immersed constrained Willmore torus f a compact Riemann surface \Sigma, such that…
We consider discretized gravity in 4+2 dimensions compactified on a disk of constant negative curvature. The curvature of the disk avoids the presence of dangerous ultra-light scalar modes but comes also along with a high multiplicity of…
Stable compact minimal submanifolds of the product of a sphere and any Riemannian manifold are classified whenever the dimension of the sphere is at least three. The complete classification of the stable compact minimal submanifolds of the…
We address weak approximation for certain del Pezzo surfaces defined over the function field of a curve. We study the rational connectivity of the smooth locus of degree two del Pezzo surfaces with two A1 singularities in order to prove…
Convex hexagons that can tile the plane have been classified into three types. For the generic cases (not necessarily convex) of the three types and two other special cases, we classify tilings of the plane under the assumption that all…
A torus-covering $T^2$-link of degree $n$ is a surface-link consisting of tori, in the form of an unbranched covering of degree $n$ over the standard torus. We focus on a torus-covering $T^2$-link of degree 3, which is determined by a pair…
Given a triangulation of a closed, oriented, irreducible, atoroidal 3-manifold every oriented, incompressible surface may be isotoped into normal position relative to the triangulation. Such a normal oriented surface is then encoded by…
The main ob jective of this research is to find the different types of elliptic triangulations for planar discs and spheres. We begin in Chapter 1 with the mandatory introduction. In the second chapter we define and study the notion of a…
Triangulations of the cube into a minimal number of simplices without additional vertices have been studied by several authors over the past decades. For $3\leq n\leq 7$ this so-called simplexity of the unit cube $I^n$ is now known to be…
This article investigates quantum oscillations of a vortex ring with zero thickness that evolves in a cylindrical domain $V = D \times [0,L]$. The symbol $D$ denotes the planar domain which is bounded by some closed connected curve $S$. The…
We give two proofs that the 3-torus is not weakly d-congruent to the connected sum of three S^1xS^2's, if d>2. We study how cohomology ring structure relates to weak congruence. We give an example of three 3--manifolds which are weakly…
The degree-diameter problem consists of finding the maximum number of vertices $n$ of a graph with diameter $d$ and maximum degree $\Delta$. This problem is well studied, and has been solved for plane graphs of low diameter in which every…
We prove that a homeomorphism of the torus homotopic to the identity whose rotation set is reduced to a single totally irrational vector is chain-recurrent. In fact, we show that pseudo-orbits can be chosen with a small number of jumps, in…
The Wiener index of a connected graph is the sum of the distances between all unordered pairs of vertices. We provide formulae for the minimum Wiener index of simple triangulations and quadrangulations with connectivity at least $c$, and…
A rational pseudo-rotation $f$ of the torus is a homeomorphism homotopic to the identity with a rotation set consisting of a single vector $v$ of rational coordinates. We give a classification for rational pseudo-rotations with an invariant…
A crystallization of a PL manifold is an edge-colored graph that corresponds to a contracted triangulation of the manifold, facilitating the study of its topological and combinatorial properties. A small cover over a simple convex…
A regular polyhedron of type {p, q} has at least 2pq flags, and it is called tight if it has exactly 2pq flags. The values of p and q for which there exist tight orientably regular polyhedra were previously known. We determine for which…
Misner space is generalized to have the nonorientable topology of a Klein bottle, and it is shown that in a classical spacetime with multiply connected space slices having such a topology, closed timelike curves are formed. Different…
Delaunay triangulations of a point set in the Euclidean plane are ubiquitous in a number of computational sciences, including computational geometry. Delaunay triangulations are not well defined as soon as 4 or more points are concyclic but…
