The prefix palindromic length $PPL_u(n)$ of an infinite word $u$ is the minimal number of concatenated palindromes needed to express the prefix of length $n$ of $u$. In a 2013 paper with Puzynina and Zamboni we stated the conjecture that…
To prove presence of chaos for fractals, a new mathematical concept of abstract similarity is introduced. As an example, the space of symbolic strings on a finite number of symbols is proved to possess the property. Moreover, Sierpinski…
Consider two inverse problems for Sturm-Liouville problems on the unit interval. It means that there are two corresponding mappings $F, f$ from a Hilbert space of potentials $H$ into their spectral data. They are called isomorphic if $F$ is…
In this paper, we give a Zariski triple of the arrangements for a smooth quartic and its four bitangents. A key criterion to distinguish the topology of such curves is given by a matrix related to the height pairing of rational points…
We study a question of Harju from 2019 regarding the existence of infinite ternary square-free words whose subsequences modulo $p$ and $q$ are also square-free for relatively prime integers $p$ and $q$. Among such pairs $(p, q)$ with $p, q…
For a given closed convex planar curve $\gamma$ with smooth boundary and a given $p>0$, the string construction yields a family of nested billiards $\Gamma_p$ for which $\gamma$ is a caustic. The action of the corresponding reflections…
In the present paper we extend the definition of slice-torus invariant to links. We prove a few properties of the newly-defined slice-torus link invariants: the behaviour under crossing change, a slice genus bound, an obstruction to strong…
The modular data of a modular category $\mathcal{C}$, consisting of the $S$-matrix and the $T$-matrix, is known to be an incomplete invariant of $\mathcal{C}$. More generally, the invariants of framed links and knots defined by a modular…
The reductivity of a spherical curve represents how reduced the spherical curve is. It is unknown if there exists a spherical curve whose reductivity is four. In this paper we give an unavoidable set for spherical curves with reductivity…
The action for a massless particle in 4D Minkowski space has a worldline time-reversing symmetry corresponding to CPT invariance of the quantum theory. The analogous symmetry of the N-extended superparticle is shown to be anomalous when N…
Motivated by the concept of Sierpinski object for topological systems of S.~Vickers, presented recently by R.~Noor and A.~K.~Srivastava, this paper introduces the Sierpinski object for many-valued topological systems and shows that it has…
In this letter, first we give a decomposition for any Lie-Poisson structure $\pi_g$ associated to the modular vector. In particular, $\pi_g$ splits into two compatible Lie-Poisson structures if $dim{g} \leq 3$. As an application, we…
Motivated by a conjecture of Frid, Puzynina, and Zamboni, we investigate infinite words with the property that for infinitely many n, every length-n factor is a product of two palindromes. We show that every Sturmian word has this property,…
Suppose $\pi$, $\pi'$ are cusp forms on GL$(2)$, not of solvable polyhedral type, such that they have the same symmetric cubes. Then we show that either $\pi$, $\pi'$ are twist equivalent, or else a certain degree $36$ $L$-function…
This paper constructs a graded-commutative, associative, differential Transverse Intersection Algebra TIA {on the torus (in any dimension) with its cubical decomposition by using a probabilistic wiggling interpretation. This structure…
Factor complexity $\mathcal{C}$ and palindromic complexity $\mathcal{P}$ of infinite words with language closed under reversal are known to be related by the inequality $\mathcal{P}(n) + \mathcal{P}(n+1) \leq 2 +…
A Circumconic passes through a triangle's vertices. We define the Circumbilliard, a circumellipse to a generic triangle for which the latter is a 3-periodic. We study its properties and associated loci.
We show that the interior of the convex core of a quasifuchsian punctured-torus group admits an ideal decomposition (usually an infinite triangulation) which is canonical in two different senses: in a combinatorial sense via the pleating…
String theory in 4 dimensions has the unique feature that a topological term, the oriented self-intersection number, can be added to the usual action. It has been suggested that the corresponding theory of random surfaces wold be free from…
We give a purely topological definition of the perturbative quantum invariants of links and 3-manifolds associated with Chern-Simons field theory. Our definition is as close as possible to one given by Kontsevich. We will also establish…
