We consider the Densest-Subgraph problem, where a graph and an integer k is given and we search for a subgraph on exactly k vertices that induces the maximum number of edges. We prove that this problem is NP-hard even when the input graph…

We write down an explicit formula for the $+$ version of the Heegaard Floer homology (as an absolutely graded vector space over an arbitrary field) of the results of Dehn surgery on a knot $K$ in $S^3$ in terms of homological data derived…

Let $\Omega$ be an open set in Euclidean space $\R^m,\, m=2,3,...$, and let $v_{\Omega}$ denote the torsion function for $\Omega$. It is known that $v_{\Omega}$ is bounded if and only if the bottom of the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian…

Let p be a prime, and let M_p(n) denote the bit complexity of multiplying two polynomials in F_p[X] of degree less than n. For n large compared to p, we establish the bound M_p(n) = O(n log n 8^(log^* n) log p), where log^* is the iterated…

We prove that deciding if a diagram of the unknot can be untangled using at most $k$ Riedemeister moves (where $k$ is part of the input) is NP-hard. We also prove that several natural questions regarding links in the $3$-sphere are NP-hard,…

We give a Dehn surgery characterization of the trefoil and the figure eight knots. These results are gotten by combining surgery formulas in Heegaard Floer homology from an earlier paper with the characterization of these knots in terms of…

For fast computation of the Arnold complexity of length $2^{n}$ binary words we obtain an upper bound for the Shannon function $Sh(n)$

It is known that any isogeny graph consisting of ordinary elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q = p$ or $p^2$ has a special structure, called a volcano graph. We have a bound $h < \log_2 \sqrt{4q}$ of a height $h$ of the $2$-volcano…

We prove that, for each fixed rational number $p/q \in \mathbb{Q}$, there exists a pair of distinct knots whose $p/q$-surgeries are orientation-preservingly homeomorphic. This confirms a 1978 conjecture of Gordon.

For any hyperbolic genus one 2-bridge knot in the 3-sphere, we show that the resulting manifold by $r$-surgery on the knot has left-orderable fundamental group if the slope $r$ lies in some range which depends on the knot.

In this note, we find a sharp upper bound for the Steklov spectrum on a submanifold of revolution in Euclidean space with one boundary component.

We first present three graphic surgery formulae for the degree $n$ part $Z_n$ of the Kontsevich-Kuperberg-Thurston universal finite type invariant of rational homology spheres. Each of these three formulae determines an alternate sum of the…

Sharp bounds on the least eigenvalue of an arbitrary graph are presented. Necessary and sufficient (just sufficient) conditions for the lower (upper) bound to be attained are deduced using edge clique partitions. As an application, we prove…

As an example of the transitions between some of the eight geometries of Thurston, investigated before, we study the geometries supported by the cone-manifolds obtained by surgery on the trefoil knot with singular set the core of the…

Let $K$ be a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere. If $r$-surgery on $K$ yields a lens space, then we show that the order of the fundamental group of the lens space is at most $12g-7$, where $g$ is the genus of $K$. If we specialize to genus one…

In this article, we investigate the higher topological complexity of oriented Seifert fibered manifolds that are Eilenberg--MacLane spaces $K(G,1)$ with infinite fundamental group $G$. We first refine the cohomological lower bounds for…

This paper derives strong relations that boundary curves of a smooth complex of patches have to obey when the patches are computed by local averaging. These relations restrict the choice of reparameterizations for geometric continuity. In…

New upper bounds on the size of the torsion group of a $\mathbb{Q}$-acyclic simplicial complex are introduced which depend only on the vertex degree sequence of the complex and its dimension.

We show that two Dehn surgeries on a knot $K$ never yield manifolds that are homeomorphic as oriented manifolds if $V_K''(1)\neq 0$ or $V_K'''(1)\neq 0$. As an application, we verify the cosmetic surgery conjecture for all knots with no…

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components. Let $\mathcal{C}(N)$ be the curve complex of $N$. We prove that if $(g,n) = (3,0)$ or $g + n \geq 5$, then there is an exhaustion of…
