Knots naturally appear in continuous dynamical systems as flow periodic trajectories. However, discrete dynamical systems are also closely connected with the theory of knots and links. For example, for Pixton diffeomorphisms, the…

In this paper we give a simple proof of the equivalence between the rational link associated to the continued fraction $\left[ a_{1},a_{2},\cdots a_{m}\right],$ $a_{i}\in\mathbb{N}$, and the two bridge link of type $p/q,$ where $p/q$ is the…

We introduce a new very large family of transformations of rectangular diagrams of links that preserve the isotopy class of the link. We provide an example when two diagrams of the same complexity are related by such a transformation and…

We explicitly construct a sequence of hyperbolic links $\{ L_{4n} \}$ where the number of symmetries of each $\mathbb{S}^{3} \setminus L_{4n}$ that are not induced by symmetries of the pair $(\mathbb{S}^{3}, L_{4n})$ grows linearly with n.…

We give a new solution of the "homotopy periods" problem, as highlighted by Sullivan, which places explicit geometrically meaningful formulae first dating back to Whitehead in the context of Quillen's formalism for rational homotopy theory…

We say that a set of pairs of disjoint cycles $\Lambda(G)$ of a graph $G$ is linked if for any spatial embedding $f$ of $G$ there exists an element $\lambda$ of $\Lambda(G)$ such that the $2$-component link $f(\lambda)$ is nonsplittable,…

We study the class L of link-types that admit a K4-minor-free diagram, i.e., they can be projected on the plane so that the resulting graph does not contain any subdivision of K4. We prove that L is the closure of a subclass of torus links…

We prove a robust contraction decomposition theorem for $H$-minor-free graphs, which states that given an $H$-minor-free graph $G$ and an integer $p$, one can partition in polynomial time the vertices of $G$ into $p$ sets $Z_1,\dots,Z_p$…

Given $0\leq\alpha<1$, we define \[\begin{array}{lr} \mathbf{M}_\alpha f(u,v,t) = \sup_{ \mathbf{R} \ni (0,0,0)} {\rm vol} \{\mathbf{R}\}^{\alpha-1} \iiint_\mathbf{R}\left|f [(u,v,t)\odot(\xi,\eta,\tau)^{-1}]\right|d\xi d\eta d\tau…

Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group. We describe the irreducible representations of $G$ by linear isometries on $L_p$-spaces for $p\in (1,+\infty)$ with $p\neq 2.$ More precisely, we show that, for every such representation $\pi,$ there…

In this paper, we prove that the (orientation-preserving) symmetry groups of $b$-prime flat fully augmented links correspond exactly with the finite subgroups of $O(3)$. We accomplish this by first developing a dictionary between…

We study the freeness problem for subgroups of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ generated by two parabolic matrices. For $q = r/p \in \mathbb{Q} \cap (0,4)$, where $p$ is prime and $\gcd(r,p)=1$, we initiate the study of the algebraic…

We show that the number of conjugacy classes of intersections $A\cap B^g$, for fixed finitely generated subgroups $A, B<F$ of a free group, is bounded above in terms of the ranks of $A$ and $B$; this confirms an intuition of Walter Neumann.…

We prove a topological rigidity result for simple, thick, hyperbolic P-manifolds of dimension 2: isomorphism of the fundamental groups implies homeomorphism of the P-manifolds. An immediate application is a diagram rigidity theorem for…

Inspired by a remarkable work of F\'{e}lix, Halperin and Thomas on the asymptotic estimation of the ranks of rational homotopy groups, and more recent works of Wu and the authors on local hyperbolicity, we prove two asymptotic formulae for…

Connected components of $\Map(S^4,B\SU(2))$ are the classifying spaces of gauge groups of principal $\SU(2)$-bundles over $S^4$. Tsukuda [Tsu01] has investigated the homotopy types of connected components of $\Map(S^4,B\SU(2))$. But…

We consider the equation - y"(x)+q(x)y(x)=f(x), x\in R and the weighted function space S_p^{(2)}(R,q)=\{y\in AC_{\loc}^{(1)}(R):\|y"-qy\|_p+\|q^{1/p}y\|_p<\infty\}; p\in[1,\infty), f\in L_p(R)$ and $0\le q\in L_1^{\loc}(R)$. We show that…

In the present work, we realize the space of 2-string links $\mathcal{L}$ as a free algebra over a colored operad denoted $\mathcal{SCL}$ (for "Swiss-Cheese for links"). This result extends works of Burke and Koytcheff about the quotient of…

We study $L^p$-theory of second-order elliptic divergence type operators with complex measurable coefficients. The major aspect is that we allow complex coefficients in the main part of the operator, too. We investigate generation of…

In this series of three papers, we introduce and study cyclotomic pairs and smooth profinite groups. They are a geometric axiomatisation of Kummer theory for fields, with coefficients $p$-primary roots of unity, for a prime $p$. These…
