We show that for a surface $S$ with positive genus and one boundary component, the mapping class of a Dehn twist along a curve parallel to the boundary is cofinal in every left ordering of the mapping class group $\operatorname{Mod}(S)$. We…

Using the spectral theory on the $S$-spectrum it is possible to define the fractional powers of a large class of vector operators. This possibility leads to new fractional diffusion and evolution problems that are of particular interest for…

D. Margalit and S. Schleimer found examples of roots of the Dehn twist about a nonseparating curve in a closed orientable surface, that is, homeomorphisms whose nth power is isotopic to the Dehn twist. Our main theorem gives elementary…

Let $S_g$ denote a closed, orientable surface of genus $g \geq 2$ and $\mathcal{C}(S_g)$ be the associated curve complex. The mapping class group of $S_g$, $Mod(S_g)$ acts on $\mathcal{C}(S_g)$ by isometries. Since Dehn twists about certain…

In the first part of this paper we prove that the mapping class subgroups generated by the $D$-th powers of Dehn twists (with $D\geq 2$) along a sparse collection of simple closed curves on an orientable surface are right angled Artin…

Using the $H^\infty$-functional calculus for quaternionic operators, we show how to generate the fractional powers of some densely defined differential quaternionic operators of order $m\geq 1$, acting on the right linear quaternionic…

We relate non integer powers ${\mathcal L}^{s}$, $s>0$ of a given (unbounded) positive self-adjoint operator $\mathcal L$ in a real separable Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ with a certain differential operator of order $2\lceil{s}\rceil$,…

We show that on a nonorientable surface of genus at least 7 any power of a Dehn twist is equal to a single commutator in the mapping class group and the same is true, under additional assumptions, for the twist subgroup, and also for the…

In this note, we establish a relationship between fractional Dehn twist coefficients of Riemann surface automorphisms and modular invariants of holomorphic families of algebraic curves. Specially, we give a characterization of…

For an open book decomposition $(S,\phi)$, the fractional Dehn twist coefficients are rational numbers measuring the amount that the monodromy $\phi$ twists the surface $S$ near each boundary component. In general, the twist coefficients do…

The fractional reaction diffusion equation u_t + Au = g(u) is discussed, where A is a fractional differential operator on the real line with order \alpha between 0 and 2, the C^1 function g vanishes at 0 and 1, and either g is non-negative…

A \textit{multicurve} $\C$ on a closed orientable surface is defined to be a finite collection of disjoint non-isotopic essential simple closed curves. The Dehn twist $t_{\C}$ about $\C$ is the product of the Dehn twists about the…

We present a set of quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians which can be written as the $F^{\,\rm th}$ power of a conserved charge: $H=Q^F$ with $[H,Q]=0$ and $F=2,3,...\, .$ This new construction, which we call {\it fractional}\/ supersymmetric…

Assuming that a Nash type inequality is satisfied by a non-negative self-adjoint operator $A$, we prove a Nash type inequality for the fractional powers $A^{\alpha}$ of $A$. Under some assumptions, we give ultracontractivity bounds for the…

We discuss the sign of the persistent current of N electrons in one dimensional rings. Using a topology argument, we establish lower bounds for the free energy in the presence of arbitrary electron-electron interactions and external…

Let $N_{g}$ denote a closed nonorientable surface of genus $g$. For $g \geq 2$ the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}(N_{g})$ is generated by Dehn twists and one crosscap slide ($Y$-homeomorphism) or by Dehn twists and a crosscap…

The present paper proves that if for a power sum $\alpha$ over $\ZZ$ the length of the period of the continued fraction for $\sqrt{\alpha(n)}$ is constant for infinitely many even (resp. odd) $n$, then $\sqrt{\alpha(n)}$ admits a functional…

Let $N_g$ be the non-orientable surface with genus $g$, $\text{MCG}(N_g)$ be the mapping class group of $N_g$, $\mathcal{T}(N_g)$ be the index 2 subgroup generated by all Dehn twists of $\text{MCG}(N_g)$. We prove that for odd genus,…

The coefficients of the generating function $(q;q)^\alpha_\infty$ produce $p_\alpha(n)$ for $\alpha \in \mathbb{Q}$. In particular, when $\alpha = -1$, the partition function is obtained. Recently, Chan and Wang identified and proved…

Let $\text{Mod}(S_g)$ be the mapping class group of the closed orientable surface $S_g$ of genus $g \geq 1$. In this paper, we develop various methods for factoring periodic mapping classes into Dehn twists, up to conjugacy. As…
