A taut contact sphere on a 3-manifold is a linear 2-sphere of contact forms, all defining the same volume form. In the present paper we completely determine the moduli of taut contact spheres on compact left-quotients of SU(2) (the only…
We derive an integral formula for the linking number of two submanifolds of the n-sphere S^n, of the product S^n x R^m, and of other manifolds which appear as "nice" hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. The formulas are geometrically…
To each three-component link in the 3-sphere, we associate a geometrically natural characteristic map from the 3-torus to the 2-sphere, and show that the pairwise linking numbers and Milnor triple linking number that classify the link up to…
Local boundary conditions involving field strengths and the normal to the boundary, originally studied in anti-de Sitter space-time, have been recently considered in one-loop quantum cosmology. This paper derives the conditions under which…
The modified Navier-Stokes equation describing the velocity field in the superfluid quantum space is loaded by the external Lorentz force introducing electromagnetic fields. In order to open the path for getting the \Schrodinger-Pauli…
We present a self-contained interior quadrupole mechanism for finite-time singularity formation in the axisymmetric three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations with swirl in the whole space. The construction is localized away from the…
It is shown that the kinematic equations governing steady motions of an ideal fibre-reinforced fluid in a curved stratum may be expressed entirely in terms of the intrinsic Gauss equation, which assumes the form of a partial differential…
High proved the following theorem. If the intersections of any two congruent copies of a plane convex body are centrally symmetric, then this body is a circle. In our paper we extend the theorem of High to the sphere and the hyperbolic…
We extend the theory of hyperbolicity of links in the 3-sphere to tg-hyperbolicity of virtual links, using the fact that the theory of virtual links can be translated into the theory of links living in closed orientable thickened surfaces.…
We prove that general helices in Euclidean space for Killing vector fields associated to rotations are helices, that is, curves with constant curvature and constant torsion. In hyperbolic space $\h^3$, we obtain the parametrization of…
We analyse the constraints imposed by gauge invariance on higher-order interactions between massless bosonic fields in three-dimensional higher-spin gravities. We show that vertices of quartic and higher order that are independent of the…
The n-dimensional hypergeometric integrals associated with a hypersphere arrangement are formulated by the pairing of n-dimensional twisted cohomology and its dual. Under the condition of general position there are stated some results which…
We take the Gauss' linking integral of two curves as a starting point to discuss the connection between the equation of continuity and the inhomogeneous Maxwell equations. Gauss' formula has been discussed before, as being derivable from…
We investigate a question of Cooper adjacent to the Virtual Haken Conjecture. Assuming certain conjectures in number theory, we show that there exist hyperbolic rational homology 3-spheres with arbitrarily large injectivity radius. These…
We generalize the results of [AS], finding large classes of totally geodesic Seifert surfaces in hyperbolic knot and link complements, each the lift of a rigid 2-orbifold embedded in some hyperbolic 3-orbifold. In addition, we provide a…
We show how to obtain all covariant field equations for massless particles of arbitrary integer, or half-integer, helicity in four dimensions from the quantization of the rigid particle, whose action is given by the integrated extrinsic…
We derive basic differential geometric formulae for surfaces in hyperbolic space represented as envelopes of horospheres. The dual notion of parallel hypersurfaces is also studied. The representation is applied to prove existence and…
We study the contact geometry of the connected components of the energy hypersurface, in the symmetric restricted 3-body problem on $\mathbb{S}^2$, for a specific type of motion of the primaries. In particular, we show that these components…
We exhibit the first examples of hyperbolic three-manifolds for which the Seiberg-Witten equations do not admit any irreducible solution. Our approach relies on hyperbolic geometry in an essential way; it combines an explicit upper bound…
It is proven that the partition function of 3-dimensional simplicial gravity has an exponential upper bound with the following assumption: any three dimensional sphere $S^3$ is constructed by repeated identification of neighboring links and…
