In this paper we study some aspects of knots and links in lens spaces. Namely, if we consider lens spaces as quotient of the unit ball $B^{3}$ with suitable identification of boundary points, then we can project the links on the equatorial…
In this paper, we characterize non-hyperbolic 3-component links in the 3-sphere whose exteriors contain essential 3-punctured spheres with non-integral boundary slopes. We also show the existence of embeddings of some multibranched surfaces…
We show that links of invertible polynomials coming from the Johnson and Koll\'ar list of K\"ahler-Einstein 3-folds that are rational homology 7-spheres remain rational homology 7-spheres under the so-called Berglund-H\"ubsch transpose rule…
We give a complete classification of the spherical 3-manifolds that bound smooth rational homology 4-balls. Furthermore, we determine the order of spherical 3-manifolds in the rational homology cobordism group of rational homology…
We prove that the Morse-Novikov number of a link L in a 3-sphere is less than or equal to twice the tunnel number of L.
A direct analog of Hadamard's three-circle theorem is obtained for harmonic functions (in weighted L^2-norm) in case of (n-1)-dimensional non-concentric spheres in R^n. The result extends the concentric case to correlated non-concentric,…
In this paper, we find a more straightforward problem that is equivalent to one of the major challenges in knot theory: the classification of links in the 3-sphere. More precisely, we provide a simpler braid description for all links in the…
This is the third paper of this series. In \cite{Wang20}, we defined the monopole Floer homology for any pair $(Y,\omega)$, where $Y$ is a compact oriented 3-manifold with toroidal boundary and $\omega$ is a suitable closed 2-form viewed as…
We use Morse theoretical arguments to study algebraic curves in C^2. We take an algebraic curve C in C^2 and intersect it with a family of spheres with fixed origin and varying radii. We explain in detail how does the resulting link change…
A link in the 3-sphere is called (smoothly) slice if its components bound disjoint smoothly embedded disks in the 4-ball. More generally, given a 4-manifold M with a distinguished circle in its boundary, a link in the 3-sphere is called…
We generalize Turaev's definition of torsion invariants of pairs $(M,\xi)$, where $M$ is a 3-dimensional manifold and $\xi$ is an Euler structure on $M$ (a non-singular vector field up to homotopy relative to the boundary of $M$ and local…
By using tensor analysis, we find a connection between normed algebras and the parallelizability of the spheres S$^1$, S$^3$ and S$^7.$ In this process, we discovered the analogue of Hurwitz theorem for curved spaces and a geometrical…
To each three-component link in the 3-sphere, we associate a geometrically natural characteristic map from the 3-torus to the 2-sphere, and show that the pairwise linking numbers and Milnor triple linking number that classify the link up to…
We study open book foliations on surfaces in 3-manifolds, and give applications to contact geometry of dimension 3. We prove a braid-theoretic formula of the self-linking number of transverse links, which reveals an unexpected link to the…
Based on the analogy between knots and primes, J. Hillman, D. Matei and M. Morishita defined the Iwasawa invariants for sequences of cyclic covers of links with an analogue of Iwasawa's class number formula of number fields. In this paper,…
Kirby diagrams for smooth four-dimensional manifolds typically depict only the 1- and 2-handles, omitting the 3-handles. In this work, we undertake a study of 3-handle attachments and provide tools to explicitly include them in handle…
Manolescu correction terms are numerical invariants of homology three-spheres arising from $\mathrm{Pin}(2)$-equivariant Seiberg-Witten theory that contain information about homology cobordism. We discuss several constraints on these…
In this paper we study isotopy classes of closed connected orientable surfaces in the standard $3$-sphere. Such a surface splits the $3$-sphere into two compact connected submanifolds, and by using their Heegaard splittings, we obtain a…
Given a 3-manifold $Y$ and a free homotopy class in $[S^1,Y]$, we investigate the set of topological concordance classes of knots in $Y \times [0,1]$ representing the given homotopy class. The concordance group of knots in the 3-sphere acts…
We classify connected sums of three-dimensional lens spaces which smoothly bound rational homology balls. We use this result to determine the order of each lens space in the group of rational homology 3-spheres up to rational homology…
