We review the polynomial parameterization of classical knots and prove the analogous results for long $2$ knots. We also construct polynomial parameterizations for certain classes of knotted spheres (such as spun and twist spun of the…
In this note I provide two extensions of a particular case of the classical Poncelet theorem.
This article tackles categorical coherence within a two-dimensional generalization of Lawvere's functorial semantics. 2-theories, a syntactical way of describing categories with structure, are presented. From the perspective here afforded,…
This note deals with certain properties of convex functions. We provide results on the convexity of the set of minima of these functions, the behaviour of their subgradient set under restriction, and optimization of these functions over an…
This is a sequel to our paper "Permute, Graph, Map, Derange", involving decomposable combinatorial labeled structures in the exp-log class of type a=1/2, 1, 3/2, 2. As before, our approach is to establish how well existing theory matches…
These course note first provide an introduction to secondary characteristic classes and differential cohomology. They continue with a presentation of a stable homotopy theoretic approach to the theory of differential extensions of…
2-dimensional knots and links are studied in the article. The notion of parity is introduced via techniques similar to the ones used by the second named author in 1-dimensional case. By using parity new invariants are constructed and known…
This paper presents a brief study on connections on fiber, principal and vector smooth bundles as well as some relations with their curvatures.
This note should clarify how the behavior of certain invariant objects reflects the geometric convexity of balanced domains.
These notes contain everything necessary to run a flipped course on "The Atmosphere" at an introductory undergraduate level. There are notes for the students to read before each course meeting and problems for them to work on in small…
The purpose of these expository notes is to give a quick and elementary, yet rigorous, presentation of the rudiments of the theory of Viscosity Solutions for fully nonlinear 2nd order PDE, with applications to Calculus of Variations in the…
A class of solenoids is considered, including some aspects in n (topological) dimensions, where one basically gets some fractal versions of tori.
The aim of this short note is to establish a 2-equivalence between a certain 2-category of foams and that of singular Soergel bimodules of type A.
2-Theories are a canonical way of describing categories with extra structure. 2-theory-morphisms are used when discussing how one structure can be replaced with another structure. This is central to categorical coherence theory. We place a…
This note is concerned with the disproof of the most general case of Parker's conjecture. The conjecture relates a certain group theoretic objects to the field of moduli of a Dessin d'enfant.
The main result can be given a short and elementary proof which has been incorporated into Lemma 3.2 of arXiv:1206.5775
New cases of the multiplicity conjecture are considered.
The aim of this note is to characterize those doubly ordered frames $\langle X, \leq_1, \leq_2 \rangle$ which are embeddable into the canonical frame of its Urquhart complex algebra.
These are the lecture notes for my course at the 2011 Park City Mathematics Graduate Summer School. The first two lectures covered the basics of the Torelli group and the Johnson homomorphism, and the third and fourth lectures discussed the…
In this note we briefly survey and propose some open problems related to isoparametric theory.
