Exploiting tools from algebraic geometry, the problem of finiteness of determination of accessibility/strong accessibility is investigated for polynomial systems and also for analytic systems that are immersible into polynomial systems. The…

This paper is expository and is accessible to students. We define simple invariants of knots or links (linking number, Arf-Casson invariants and Alexander-Conway polynomials) motivated by interesting results whose statements are accessible…

In this paper, we construct infinitely many non-isotopic 3-knots in the 5-sphere, each of which has four critical points with respect to the standard height function of the 5-sphere. This contrasts with a theorem of Scharlemann which says…

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a knot type to admit non-loose Legendrian and transverse representatives in some overtwisted contact structure, classify all non-loose rational unknots in lens spaces, and…

We investigate the Bieri--Neumann--Strebel--Renz (BNSR) invariants of irreducible uniform lattices. In the case of a direct product of a tree and a Euclidean space we show that vanishing of the BNSR invariants for all finite-index subgroups…

That announcement gives the structure of totally reducible linear Lie algebras which are the Lie algebra of the holonomy group of (at least) one torsion-free connection. The result uses the (already known) classi cation of the irreducible…

This paper studies the question of whether minimal genus Heegaard splittings of exterior spaces of knots which are connected sums are weakly reducible or not. Furthermore it is shown that the Heegaard splittings of the knots used by…

Let $S$ be a domain and $R=S[t;\sigma,\delta]$ a skew polynomial ring, where $\sigma$ is an injective endomorphism of $S$ and $\delta$ a left $\sigma$ -derivation. We give criteria for skew polynomials $f\in R$ of degree less or equal to…

Let X be a k-dimensional simplicial complex such that the (k-j-2)-dimensional homology of the links of all j-dimensional simplices in X vanishes. An upper bound is given on the (k-1)-th Betti number of X. Examples based on sum complexes…

A triangulation of a punctured or pinched surface is irreducible if no edge can be shrunk without producing multiple edges or changing the topological type of the surface. The finiteness of the set of (non-isomorphic) irreducible…

In this paper, we study reducible surgeries on knots in $S^3$. We develop thickness bounds for L-space knots that admit reducible surgeries, and lower bounds on the slice genus for general knots that admit reducible surgeries. The L-space…

In a system of $n$ quantum particles, the correlations are classified into a series of irreducible $k$-particle correlations ($2\le k\le n$), where the irreducible $k$-particle correlation is the correlation appearing in the states of $k$…

We apply results from both contact topology and exceptional surgery theory to study when Legendrian surgery on a knot yields a reducible manifold. As an application, we show that a reducible surgery on a non-cabled positive knot of genus g…

The (isothermic) compressibility of lattice knots can be examined as a model of the effects of topology and geometry on the compressibility of ring polymers. In this paper, the compressibility of minimal length lattice knots in the simple…

The famous irreducibility criteria of Sch\"onemann-Eisenstein and Dumas rely on information on the divisibility of the coefficients of a polynomial by a single prime number. In this paper we provide several irreducibility criteria of…

The $\Delta$-unknotting number for a knot is defined as the minimum number of $\Delta$-moves needed to deform the knot into the trivial knot. It is known that, for positive pretzel knots, the $\Delta$-unknotting number coincides with the…

In this paper we first determine all irreducible representations of a wedge product of two table algebras in terms of the irreducible representations of two factors involved. Then we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for a table…

In this paper, we give a complete classification of irreducible bounded weight modules over the derivation Lie algebras of rational quantum tori

Equations over linearly ordered semilattices are studied. For any equation $t(X)=s(X)$ we find irreducible components of its solution set and compute the average number of irreducible components of all equations in $n$ variables.

We develop a reinforcement learning pipeline for simplifying knot diagrams. A trained agent learns move proposals and a value heuristic for navigating Reidemeister moves. The pipeline applies to arbitrary knots and links; we test it on…
