Lower bounds for some explicit decision problems over the complex numbers are given.

We will strengthen the known upper and lower bounds on the delta-crossing number of knots in therms of the triple-crossing number. The latter bound turns out to be strong enough to obtain (unknown values of) triple-crossing numbers for a…

Let r_m and r_M be the least and greatest finite boundary slopes of a hyperbolic knot K in S^3. We show that any cyclic surgery slopes of K must lie in the interval (r_m - 1/2, r_M + 1/2).

We introduce a new numerical invariant of knots and links from the descending diagrams. It is considered to live between the unknotting number and the bridge number.

An upper bound of the superbridge index of the connected sum of two knots is given in terms of the braid index of the summands. Using this upper bound and minimal polygonal presentations, we give an upper bound in terms of the superbridge…

Let X be a norm curve in the SL(2,C)-character variety of a knot exterior M. Let t = || b || / || a || be the ratio of the Culler-Shalen norms of two distinct non-zero classes a, b in H_1(\partial M, Z). We demonstrate that either X has…

In this paper, we develop a lower bound for the double slice genus of a knot using Casson-Gordon invariants. As an application, we show that the double slice genus can be arbitrarily larger than twice the slice genus. As an analogue to the…

We compute lower bounds on the virtual crossing number and minimal surface genus of virtual knot diagrams from the arrow polynomial. In particular, we focus on several interesting examples.

This paper presents some finiteness results for the number of boundary slopes of immersed essential surfaces of given genus g in a compact 3-manifold with torus boundary. In the case of hyperbolic 3-manifolds we obtain uniform quadratic…

We obtain new upper and lower bounds on the number of unit perimeter triangles spanned by points in the plane. We also establish improved bounds in the special case where the point set is a section of the integer grid.

In this note, we provide a wide range of upper bounds for the moduli of the zeros of a complex polynomial. The obtained bounds complete a series of previous papers on the location of zeros of polynomials.

This work is devoted to lower bounds on independence numbers of distance graphs with vertices in $\{-1,0,1\}^n$. The asymptotic case is studied, yielding new results over a broad range of parameters. Numerical results are presented,…

Let $f_1(x),\ldots,f_n(x)$ be some polynomials. The upper bound on the number of $x\in\mathbb F_p$ such that $f_1(x),\ldots,f_n(x)$ are roots of unit of order $t$ is obtained. This bound generalize the bound of the paper \cite{V-S} to the…

We study lower bounds for the self-intersection of the canonical divisor of "canonical varieties" (i.e. varieties whose canonical linear system gives a birational map). We give some improvements for the known results in the case of surfaces…

We establish upper bounds for the complexity of Seifert fibered manifolds with nonempty boundary. In particular, we obtain potentially sharp bounds on the complexity of torus knot complements.

Given a large finite point set, $P\subset \mathbb R^2$, we obtain upper bounds on the number of triples of points that determine a given pair of dot products. That is, for any pair of positive real numbers, $(\alpha, \beta)$, we bound the…

For any hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with totally geodesic boundary, there are finitely many boundary slopes for essential immersed surfaces of a given genus. There is a uniform bound for the number of such boundary slopes if the genus of…

If a knot K in a closed, orientable 3-manifold M has a bridge surface T with distance at least 3 in the curve complex of T - K, then the genus of any essential surface in its exterior with non-empty, non-meridional boundary gives rise to an…

We present upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of $2 \times 2$ operator matrices which improves on the existing bound for the same. As an application of the results obtained we give a better estimation for the zeros of a…
