We show that every non-trivial strongly quasipositive link is smoothly concordant to infinitely many pairwise non-isotopic strongly quasipositive links. In contrast to our result, Baker conjectured that smoothly concordant strongly…

We show that if $K$ is a fibered ribbon knot in $S^3=\partial B^4$ bounding a ribbon disk $D$, then given an extra transversality condition the fibration on $S^3\setminus\nu(K)$ extends to a fibration of $B^4\setminus\nu(D)$. This partially…

By introducing motivic Milnor fibers at infinity of polynomial maps, we propose some methods for the study of nilpotent parts of monodromies at infinity. The numbers of Jordan blocks in the monodromy at infinity will be described by the…

This paper gives a polynomial invariant for flat virtual links. In the case of one component, the polynomial specializes to Turaev's virtual string polynomial. We show that Turaev's polynomial has the property that it is non-zero precisely…

We give a description of the Milnor fiber and the monodromy of a singularity of the form f+zg = 0 where f and g define plane curves and have no common components. The description depends only on the topological type of the two plane curve…

Each complex hyperplane arrangement gives rise to a Milnor fibration of its complement. Although the Betti numbers of the Milnor fiber $F$ can be expressed in terms of the jump loci for rank 1 local systems on the complement, explicit…

A 1993 result of Alon and F\"uredi gives a sharp upper bound on the number of zeros of a multivariate polynomial over an integral domain in a finite grid, in terms of the degree of the polynomial. This result was recently generalized to…

In this paper we construct an infinite sequence of binary irreducible polynomials starting from any irreducible polynomial $f_0 \in \F_2 [x]$. If $f_0$ is of degree $n = 2^l \cdot m$, where $m$ is odd and $l$ is a non-negative integer,…

As a previous result, it has shown that every sphere-link consisting of trivial components is a ribbon sphere-link. In this note, it is shown that for every closed oriented disconnected surface F with just one non-sphere component, every…

We prove fibrewise versions of classical theorems of Hopf and Leray-Samelson. Our results imply the fibrewise H-triviality after rationalization of a certain class of fibrewise H-spaces. They apply, in particular, to universal adjoint…

It has remained an open question for some time whether, given a set of not necessarily binary (i.e. "nonbinary") trees T on a set of taxa X, it is possible to determine in time f(r).poly(m) whether there exists a phylogenetic network that…

For knots in $S^3$, it is well-known that the Alexander polynomial of a ribbon knot factorizes as $f(t)f(t^{-1})$ for some polynomial $f(t)$. By contrast, the Alexander polynomial of a ribbon $2$-knot is not even symmetric in general. Via…

Let $\{f_t\}$ be a family of complex polynomial functions with line singularities. We show that if $\{f_t\}$ has a uniform stable radius (for the corresponding Milnor fibrations), then the L\^e numbers of the functions $f_t$ are independent…

Given a manifold M, it is natural to ask in how many ways it fibers (we mean fibering in a general way, where the base might be an orbifold -- this could be described as Seifert fibering)There are group-theoretic obstructions to the…

Let f and g be holomorphic function-germs vanishing at the origin of a complex analytic germ of dimension three. Suppose that they have no common irreducible component and that the real analytic map-germ given by the multiplication of f by…

In this paper, we give a complete set of finite type string link invariants of degree <5. In addition to Milnor invariants, these include several string link invariants constructed by evaluating knot invariants on certain closure of…

We show that if a fibered knot $K$ is expressed as a band--connected sum of $K_1, \ldots, K_n$, then each $K_i$ is fibered, and the genus of $K$ is greater than or equal to that of the connected sum of $K_1,\ldots,K_n$.

The ropelength of a knot or link is the minimal number of inches of 1-inch-thick rope that it takes to tie it. The relationship of this measurement to knot and link invariants has been studied by various authors. We give the first results…

We use Bieri-Strebel invariants to determine when a normal fibre product in the product of two finitely presented groups is finitely presented. We give conditions that imply and in some cases characterize the existence of such finitely…

Let $f=f(x_1,\dots,x_m)$ be a multilinear polynomial over a field $F$. An $F$-algebra $A$ is said to be $f$-zpd ($f$-zero product determined) if every $m$-linear functional $\varphi\colon A^{m}\rightarrow F$ which preserves zeros of $f$ is…
