For a locally finite, connected graph $\Gamma$, let $\operatorname{Map}(\Gamma)$ denote the group of proper homotopy equivalences of $\Gamma$ up to proper homotopy. Excluding sporadic cases, we show $\operatorname{Aut}(S(M_\Gamma)) \cong…

We introduce $ L $-functions attached to negative definite plumbed manifolds as the Mellin transforms of homological blocks. We prove that they are entire functions and their values at $ s=0 $ are equal to the Witten--Reshetikhin--Turaev…

For an infinite type surface $\Sigma$, we consider the space of (marked) convex hyperbolic structures on $\Sigma$, denoted $H(\Sigma)$, with the Fenchel-Nielsen topology. The (big) mapping class group acts faithfully on this space allowing…

In this paper, we define contact invariants in bordered sutured Floer homology. Given a contact 3-manifold with convex boundary, we apply a result of Zarev (arxiv:1010.3496) to derive contact invariants in the bordered sutured modules…

Goldman defined a symplectic form on the smooth locus of the $G$-character variety of a closed, oriented surface $S$ for a Lie group $G$ satisfying very general hypotheses. He then studied the Hamiltonian flows associated to $G$-invariant…

This article is concerned with locally flatly immersed surfaces in simply-connected $4$-manifolds where the complement of the surface has fundamental group $\mathbb{Z}$. Once the genus and number of double points are fixed, we classify such…

Maps from links in thickened surfaces to flat-virtual links help to construct invariants of links using invariants of flat-virtual links. This work is dedicated to investigation of equivalence and invariants of flat-virtual diagrams…

It is known that the colored Jones polynomials of a knot in the 3-dimensional sphere satisfy recursive relations, it is also known that these recursive relations come from recurrence polynomials which have been related, by the AJ…

In previous work we showed that for a manifold $M$, whose universal cover has infinitely many boundary components, the set of essential ideal triangulations of $M$ is connected via 2-3, 3-2, 0-2, and 2-0 moves. Here we show that this set is…

A set of regions of a link projection is said to be isolated if any pair of regions in the set share no crossings. The isolate-region number of a link projection is the maximum value of the cardinality for isolated sets of regions of the…

We consider a 3-Calabi-Yau triangulated category associated to an ideal triangulation of a marked bordered surface. Using the theory of harmonic maps between Riemann surfaces, we construct a natural map from a component of the space of…

We compute the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology for Coxeter braids on 4 strands.

This article introduces a finite piecewise Euclidean cell complex homeomorphic to the space of monic centered complex polynomials of degree $d$ whose critical values lie in a fixed closed rectangular region. We call this the branched…

We prove that the Koebe circle domain conjecture is equivalent to the Weyl type problem that every complete hyperbolic surface of genus zero is isometric to the boundary of the hyperbolic convex hull of the complement of a circle domain. It…

A pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of a surface is a canonical representative of its mapping class. In this paper, we explain that a transitive pseudo-Anosov flow is similarly a canonical representative of its stable Hamiltonian class. It…

We compare the marked length spectra of isometric actions of groups with non-positively curved features. Inspired by the recent works of Butt we study approximate versions of marked length spectrum rigidity. We show that for pairs of…

Gonz\'alez-Meneses, Manch\'on, and Silvero showed that the (hypothetical) extreme Khovanov homology of a link diagram is isomorphic to the reduced (co)homology of the independence simplicial complex of its Lando graph. Przytycki and Silvero…

We show that the integral filling volume of a Dehn twist $f$ on a closed oriented surface vanishes, i.e. that the integral simplicial volume of the mapping torus with monodromy $f^n$ grows sublinearly with respect to $n$. We deduce a…

For a locally finite graph $\Gamma$, we consider its mapping class group $\text{Map}(\Gamma)$ as defined by Algom-Kfir-Bestvina. For these groups, we prove a generalization of the results of Laudenbach and Brendle-Broaddus-Putman, producing…

We study surface subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}(4,\mathbb R)$ acting convex cocompactly on $\mathbb R \textrm P^3$ with image in the coaffine group. The boundary of the convex core is stratified, and the one dimensional strata form a pair of…
