We employ a certain labeled finite graph, called a chart, in a closed oriented surface for describing the monodromy of a(n achiral) Lefschetz fibration over the surface. Applying charts and their moves with respect to Wajnryb's presentation…

In this paper, a general hybrid fixed point theorem for the contractive mappings in generalized Banach spaces is proved via measure of weak non-compactness and it is further applied to fractional integral equations for proving the existence…

It is shown that if a real value PL-invariant of closed combinatorial manifolds admits a local formula that depends only on the f-vector of the link of each vertex, then the invariant must be a constant times the Euler characteristic.

One point compactification is studied in the light of ideal of subsets of $\mathbb{N}$. $\mathcal{I}$-proper map is introduced and showed that a continuous map can be extended continuously to the one point $\mathcal{I}$-compactification if…

We lift the Lefschetz number from an algebraic invariant of maps between spaces to an invariant of morphisms of data over the spaces.

The definition of the intersection number of a map with a closed manifold can be extended to the case of a closed stratified set such that the difference between dimensions of its two biggest strata is greater than $1$. The set Sigma of…

Indices of fixed point classes play a central role in Nielsen fixed point theory. Jiang-Wang-Zhang proved that for selfmaps of graphs and surfaces, the index of any fixed point class has an upper bound called its characteristic. In this…

Results of Macdonald and Dold from the 1960s and '70s expressing the Lefschetz numbers of symmetric powers of a self-map of a compact ENR in terms of the Lefschetz numbers of iterates of the map are extended using the notion of a…

M. F. Atiyah proved that the index of a transversally elliptic operator relative to a free action can be computed by using indices of elliptic operators on the orbit manifold. In this paper, we derive an explicit formula for the transversal…

The goal of this paper is to establish a general fixed point theorem for compact single-valued continuous mapping in Hausdorff p-vector spaces, and the fixed point theorem for upper semicontinuous set-valued mappings in Hausdorff locally…

Let $G$ be connected nilpotent Lie group acting locally on a real surface $M$. Let $\varphi$ be the local flow on $M$ induced by a $1$-parameter subgroup. Assume $K$ is a compact set of fixed points of $\varphi$ and $U$ is a neighborhood of…

We investigate conditions on a graph $C^*$-algebra for the existence of a faithful semifinite trace. Using such a trace and the natural gauge action of the circle on the graph algebra, we construct a smooth $(1,\infty)$-summable semfinite…

We consider a closed Riemannian manifold $M$ of negative curvature and dimension at least 3 with marked length spectrum sufficiently close (multiplicatively) to that of a locally symmetric space $N$. Using the methods of Hamenst\"adt, we…

We present proofs of basic results, including those developed by Harold Bell, for the plane fixed point problem: does every map of a non-separating plane continuum have a fixed point? Some of these results had been announced much earlier by…

Considering the Teichm\"uller space of a surface equipped with Thurston's Lipschitz metric, we study geodesic segments whose endpoints have bounded combinatorics. We show that these geodesics are cobounded, and that the closest-point…

We define the concept of Lefschetz contact pencil and we show the existence of such structures on any contact manifold. The main idea of the proof is a generalization of the Donaldson arguments used in the symplectic case. We will analyze…

Using methods from commutative algebra and topos-theory, we construct topos-theoretical points for the fppf topology of a scheme. These points are indexed by both a geometric point and a limit ordinal. The resulting stalks of the structure…

For a map of the unit interval with an indifferent fixed point, we prove an upper bound for the variance of all observables of $n$ variables $K:[0,1]^n\to\R$ which are componentwise Lipschitz. The proof is based on coupling and decay of…

In this follow-up paper, we again inspect a surprising relationship between the set of fixed points of a polynomial map $\varphi_{d, c}$ defined by $\varphi_{d, c}(z) = z^d + c$ for all $c, z \in \mathcal{O}_{K}$ or $\in \mathbb{Z}_{p}$ or…

Let M be an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space. The index i(M) of M is the minimal codimension of a (non-trivial) totally geodesic submanifold of M. The purpose of this note is to determine the index i(M) for all irreducible Riemannian…
