We prove Steinebrunner's conjecture on the biequivalence between (colored) properads and labelled cospan categories. The main part of the work is to establish a 1-categorical, strict version of the conjecture, showing that the category of…

We prove that an affine cone $X$ admits a surjective morphism from an affine space if and only if $X$ is unirational.

In this paper we construct an infinite family of knots with vanishing Upsilon invariant $\Upsilon$, although their secondary Upsilon invariants $\Upsilon^2$ show that they are linearly independent in the smooth knot concordance group. We…

The purpose of this note is to give an affirmative answer to a conjecture appearing in [Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 26 (2015) 90-95].

In [R2] and [RO] the Arnold conjecture for closed symplectic manifolds with trivial second homotopy group was proved. This proof used surgery and cobordism theory. Here we give a purely cohomological proof of this result.

We prove that affine invariant manifolds in strata of flat surfaces are algebraic varieties. The result is deduced from a generalization of a theorem of M\"oller. Namely, we prove that the image of a certain twisted Abel-Jacobi map lands in…

In this article we study the cohomological and homological (due to Jannsen) Hodge conjecture for singular varieties. The motivation for studying singular varieties comes from the fact that any smooth projective variety X is birational to a…

We show that two varieties X and Y with isomorphic endomorphism semigroups are isomorphic up to field automorphism if one of them is affine and contains a copy of the affine line. A holomorphic version of this result is due to the first…

We prove that every smooth subelliptic variety admits a surjective morphism from an affine space. This result gives partial answers to the questions of Arzhantsev and Forstneri\v{c}. As an application, we characterize open images of…

The Slope Conjecture proposed by Garoufalidis asserts that the degree of the colored Jones polynomial determines a boundary slope, and its refinement, the Strong Slope Conjecture proposed by Kalfagianni and Tran asserts that the linear term…

Either fibered knots supporting the tight contact structure are unique in their smooth concordance class or there exists a fibered counterexample to the Slice-Ribbon Conjecture.

We have a knot quandle and a fundamental class as invariants for a surface-knot. These invariants can be defined for a classical knot in a similar way, and it is known that the pair of them is a complete invariant for classical knots. In…

A geometric argument is given to prove that the Seifert genus of a positive knot equals its slice genus. A combinatorial invariant, giving a lower bound for the slice genus, is formulated for arbitrary knots. Properties and applications of…

We prove that any affine, resp. polarized projective, spherical variety admits a flat degeneration to an affine, resp. polarized projective, toric variety. Motivated by Mirror Symmetry, we give conditions for the limit toric variety to be a…

The aim of this note is to prove the algebraic geometry analogue of the Invariant tubular neighborhood theorem which concerns the actions of compact Lie groups on smooth manifolds.

For a pair of affine toric varieties X and Y defined by dual cones, we define an equivalence between two triangulated categories. The first is a mixed version of the equivariant derived category of X and the second is a mixed version of the…

We prove the Farrell-Jones fibered isomorphism conjecture for several classes of Artin groups of finite and affine types. As a consequence, we compute explicitly the surgery obstruction groups of the finite type pure Artin groups.

We give a method for constructing many pairs of distinct knots $K_0$ and $K_1$ such that the two 4-manifolds obtained by attaching a 2-handle to $B^4$ along $K_i$ with framing zero are diffeomorphic. We use the d-invariants of Heegaard…

By using double branched covers, we prove that there is a 1-1 correspondence between the set of knotoids in the 2-sphere, up to orientation reversion and rotation, and knots with a strong inversion, up to conjugacy. This correspondence…

We will prove that the Pierce-Birkhoff Conjecture holds for non-singular two-dimensional affine real algebraic varieties over real closed fields, i.e., if W is such a variety, then every piecewise polynomial function on W can be written as…
