We show that the figure eight knot complement admits a uniformizable spherical CR structure, i.e. it occurs as the manifold at infinity of a complex hyperbolic orbifold. The uniformization is unique provided we require the peripheral…

We determine all orbits of the prehomogeneous vector space $G = \mathrm{GL}_8,V =\wedge^3\mathrm{Aff}^8$ rationally over an arbitrary perfect field of characteristic not equal to $2$ in this paper.

We introduce a 4-dimensional analogue of the rational Seifert genus of a knot $K\subset Y$, which we call the rational slice genus, that measures the complexity of a homology class in $H_2(Y\times [0,1],K;\mathbb{Q})$. Our main theorem is a…

In this paper we investigate the Alexander polynomial of (1,1)-knots, which are knots lying in a 3-manifold with genus one at most, admitting a particular decomposition. More precisely, we study the connections between the Alexander…

In this short note, we analyze geometric properties of orbit spaces of certain involutions in dimensions four, five, and six. We consider constructions of $\mathcal{F}$-structures on manifolds of dimension at least four that allows us to…

For some families of two-bridge knots, including double-twist knots with genus at least four, we determine precisely the set of integers $n>1$ such that the fundamental group of the $n$-fold cyclic branched cover of the 3-sphere along these…

We prove that the closed orbit of the Eierlegende Wollmilchsau is the only $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$-orbit closure in genus three with a zero Lyapunov exponent in its Kontsevich-Zorich spectrum. The result recovers previous partial results…

We define family versions of the invariant of 4-manifolds with contact boundary due to Kronheimer and Mrowka and use these to detect exotic diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds with boundary. Further, we show the existence of the first example of…

Every exotic pair in 4-dimension is obtained each other by twisting a {\it cork} or {\it plug} which are codimension 0 submanifolds embedded in the 4-manifolds. The twist was an involution on the boundary of the submanifold. We define cork…

We construct qualitatively new examples of superabundant tropical curves which are non-realizable in genus $3$ and $4$. These curves are in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $\mathbb{R}^4$ respectively, and have properties resembling canonical embeddings…

We consider homologically essential simple closed curves on Seifert surfaces of genus one knots in $S^3$, and in particular those that are unknotted or slice in $S^3$. We completely characterize all such curves for most twist knots: they…

A new orientifold of Type-IIB theory on $K3$ is constructed that has $N=1$ supersymmetry in six dimensions. The orientifold symmetry consists of a $Z_2$ involution of $K3$ combined with orientation-reversal on the worldsheet. The…

We introduce the rotation unfolding of the folding map of a surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$, and investigate its $\mathcal{A}$-vesality. The rotation unfolding is a 2-parameter unfolding and can be considered as a subfamily of the folding family,…

In 2018, M. Chu and S. Tillmann gave a lower bound for the trisection genus of a closed 4-manifold in terms of the Euler characteristic of $M$ and the rank of its fundamental group. We show that given a group $G$, there exist a 4-manifold…

We study exotic smoothings of open 4-manifolds using the minimal genus function and its analog for end homology. While traditional techniques in open 4-manifold smoothing theory give no control of minimal genera, we make progress by using…

One would often like to know when two a priori distinct extremal black p-brane solutions are in fact U-duality related. In the classical supergravity limit the answer for a large class of theories has been known for some time. However, in…

The likely membership of the planetary nebula Abell 8 (PN G167.0--00.9) in the open cluster Bica 6 is confirmed by CCD spectra, UBV(RI)c photometry, and radial velocities for luminous cluster stars. The reddening, estimated distance, and…

Let $d\geq2$ be an integer. The set $\mathbf{F}(d)$ of foliations of degree $d$ on the complex projective plane can be identified with a Zariski's open set of a projective space of dimension $d^2+4d+2$ on which $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb…

We improve and extend to the non-orientable case a recent result of Karabas, Malicki and Nedela concerning the classification of all orientable prime 3-manifolds of Heegaard genus two, triangulated with at most 42 coloured tetrahedra.

It is shown that the rotational band structure of the cluster states in 12C and 16O can be understood in terms of the underlying discrete symmetry that characterizes the geometrical configuration of the alpha-particles, i.e. an equilateral…
