We show that if S is a finite type orientable surface of genus g and p punctures where 3g+p > 4, then EL(S) is (n-1)-connected and (n-1)-locally connected where dim(PML(S))=2n+1=6g+2p-7. Furthermore, if g=0, then EL(S) is homeomorphic to…

In this paper, we consider a class of continuous maps characterized by a singularity of order $x^{q/p}$ (with $p,q \in \mathbb{N}$, $p>q$, and $(p,q)=1$) on one side of the discontinuity boundary $\Sigma$ and a linear behaviour on the other…

Let $G$ be the simple algebraic group $\mathrm{SL}_2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$. Using results of A. Parker, we develop a method which gives, for any $q \in \mathbb{N}$, a closed form…

Given a suitable link map f into a manifold M, we constructed, in [10], link homotopy invariants kappa(f) and mu(f). In the present paper we study the case M=S^n x R^{m - n} in detail. Here mu(f) turns out to be the starting term of a whole…

We prove almost sharp upper bounds for the $L^p$ norms of eigenfunctions of the full ring of invariant differential operators on a compact locally symmetric space, as well as their restrictions to maximal flat subspaces. Our proof combines…

Let G be a connected, compact, semisimple Lie group. It is known that for a compact closed orientable surface $\Sigma$ of genus $l >1$, the order of the group $H^2(\Sigma,\pi_1(G))$ is equal to the number of connected components of the…

The notion of free link is a generalized notion of virtual link. In the present paper we define the group of free braids, prove the Alexander theorem that all free links can be obtained as closures of free braids and prove a Markov theorem,…

Let $R$ be the ring of integers in a finite extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, let $k$ be its residue field and let $\chi:\pi_1(X)\to R^{\times}=GL_{1}(R)$ be a "geometric" rank one representation of the arithmetic fundamental group of a…

We study the homotopy type of the space $E(L)$ of unparametrised embeddings of a split link $L=L_1\sqcup \ldots \sqcup L_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Our main result is a simple description of the fundamental group, or motion group, of $E(L)$, and…

Let $\omega$ denote an area form on $S^2$. Consider the closed symplectic 4-manifold $M=(S^2\times S^2, A\omega \oplus a \omega)$ with $0<a<A$. We show that there are families of displaceable Lagrangian tori $L_{0,x},\, L_{1,x} \subset M$,…

This paper studies NET map slope functions. It establishes Lipschitz-type conditions for them. It relates Lipschitz-type conditions to the half-space theorem. It gives bounds on the number of slope function fixed points. It provides…

Quantum link models (QLMs) are generalizations of Wilson's lattice gauge theory formulated with finite-dimensional link Hilbert spaces. In certain cases, the non-Abelian Gauss Law constraint can be exactly solved, and the gauge invariant…

Let $G_1,\dots, G_m$ be independent Bernoulli random subgraphs of the complete graph ${\cal K}_n$ having variable sizes $x_1,\dots, x_m\in [n]$ and densities $q_1,\dots, q_m\in [0,1]$. Letting $n,m\to+\infty$, we study the connectivity…

We show that link concordance implies link homotopy for immersions of codimension at least two. As a consequence, we prove that every link $\sqcup^r S^n \hookrightarrow S^{n+2}$ is link homotopically trivial for $n\geq 2$, that is, there is…

Locally stable maps $S^3\to\mathbb{R}^4$ are classified up to homotopy through locally stable maps. The equivalence class of a map $f$ is determined by three invariants: the isotopy class $\sigma(f)$ of its framed singularity link, the…

In this paper we introduce a new technique, based on dual quaternions, for the analysis of closed linkages with revolute joints: the theory of bonds. The bond structure comprises a lot of information on closed revolute chains with a…

The main purpose of this article is to extend some of the ideas from Schubert calculus to the more general setting of Hamiltonian torus actions on compact symplectic manifolds with isolated fixed points. Given a generic component of the…

We use the compactness theorem of continuous logic to give a new proof that $L^r([0,1]; \mathbb{R})$ isometrically embeds into $L^p([0,1]; \mathbb{R})$ whenever $1 \leq p \leq r \leq 2$. We will also give a proof for the complex case. This…

Branch points of a real 2-surface S in a 4-manifold M generalize the branch points of complex curves in complex surfaces: for example, they can occur as singularities of minimal surfaces. We investigate such a branch point p when S is…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact Hausdorff spaces and suppose that there exists a linear continuous surjection $T:C_{p}(X) \to C_{p}(Y)$, where $C_{p}(X)$ denotes the space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ endowed with the pointwise…
