The support norm $sn(\xi)$ of a contact structure $\xi$ is the minimum of the negative Euler characteristics of the pages of the open books supporting $\xi$. In this paper we prove additivity of the support norm for tight contact…
We determine the closed, oriented Seifert fibered 3-manifolds which carry positive tight contact structures. Our main tool is a new non-vanishing criterion for the contact Ozsvath-Szabo invariant.
We investigate the self-organization of strongly interacting particles confined in 1D and 2D. We consider hardcore bosons in spinless Hubbard lattice models with short-range interactions. We show that many-body states with topological…
This paper begins the study of relations between Riemannian geometry and global properties of contact structures on 3-manifolds. In particular we prove an analog of the sphere theorem from Riemannian geometry in the setting of contact…
In this note we study contact structures on 5-dimensional manifolds. We give a complete answer under the assumption that the Abundance conjecture holds in dimension 5.
We study compatible contact structures of fibered Seifert multilinks in homology 3-spheres and especially give a necessary and sufficient condition for the contact structure to be tight in the case where the Seifert fibration is positively…
We show that contact homology distinguishes infinitely many tight contact structures on any orientable, toroidal, irreducible 3-manifold. As a consequence of the contact homology computations, on a very large class of toroidal manifolds,…
We model weak gravitational lensing of light by large-scale structure using ray tracing through N-body simulations. The method is described with particular attention paid to numerical convergence. We investigate some of the key…
A real 3-manifold is a smooth 3-manifold together with an orientation preserving smooth involution, which is called a real structure. A real contact 3-manifold is a real 3-manifold with a contact distribution that is antisymmetric with…
We introduce new metric structures on a smooth manifold (called "weak" structures) that generalize the almost contact, Sasakian, cosymplectic, etc. metric structures $(\varphi,\xi,\eta,g)$ and allow us to take a fresh look at the classical…
We devise exact conditions under which a join semilattice with a weak contact relation can be semilattice embedded into a Boolean algebra with an overlap contact relation, equivalently, into a distributive lattice with additive contact…
We present a loosely coupled approach for the solution of fluid-structure interaction problems between a compressible flow and a deformable structure. The method is based on staggered Dirichlet-Neumann partitioning. The interface motion in…
We investigate few-boson systems with resonant interactions in a narrow harmonic trap within an effective theory framework. The size of the model space is identified with the effective theory cutoff. In the universal regime, the…
We study the pressureless Euler equations with nonlocal alignment interactions, which arises as a macroscopic representation of complex biological systems modeling animal flocks. For such Euler-Alignment system with bounded interactions, a…
We give simple characterizations of contact 1-forms in terms of Dirac structures. We also relate normal almost contact structures to the theory of Dirac structures.
We reexamine interactions between the dark sectors of cosmology, with a focus on robust constraints that can be obtained using only mildly nonlinear scales. While it is well known that couplings between dark matter and dark energy can be…
In this paper, the notion of an almost contact K\"ahlerian structure is introduced. The interior geometry of almost contact K\"ahlerian spaces is investigated. On the zero-curvature distribution of an almost contact metric structure, as on…
We study 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that admit an almost contact metric structure. We classify these structures by their intrinsic torsion and review the literature in terms of this scheme. Moreover, we determine necessary and…
A new characterization is provided for the class of compact rank-one symmetric spaces. Such spaces are the only symmetric spaces of compact type for which the standard vector field on their sphere bundles is Killing with respect to some…
We introduce integrable complex structures on twistor spaces fibered over complex manifolds. We then show, in particular, that the twistor spaces associated with generalized Kahler, SKT and strong HKT manifolds all naturally admit complex…
