An obstruction to sliceness via contact geometry and "classical" gauge theory.
We present an example of an o-minimal structure which does not admit cellular decomposition. To this end, we construct a function whose germ at the origin admits a representative for each integer , but no representative. A number theoretic condition on the coefficients of the Taylor series of then insures the quasianalyticity of some differential algebras induced by . The o-minimality of the structure generated by is deduced from this quasianalyticity property.
A handlebody-knot is a handlebody embedded in the 3-sphere. We improve Luo's result about markings on a surface, and show that an IH-move is sufficient to investigate handlebody-knots with spatial trivalent graphs without cut-edges. We also give fundamental moves with a height function for handlebody-tangles, which helps us to define operator invariants for handlebody-knots. By using the fundamental moves, we give an operator invariant.
Let T be a torus in S4 and T* a projection of T. If the singular set Gamma(T*) consists of one disjoint simple closed curve, then T can be moved to the standard position by an ambient isotopy of S4.
In 1970, E.M.Andreev published a classification of all three-dimensional compact hyperbolic polyhedra (other than tetrahedra) having non-obtuse dihedral angles. Given a combinatorial description of a polyhedron, , Andreev’s Theorem provides five classes of linear inequalities, depending on , for the dihedral angles, which are necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a hyperbolic polyhedron realizing with the assigned dihedral angles. Andreev’s Theorem also shows that the resulting...
Suppose that L, L’ are simply connected nilpotent Lie groups such that the groups and in their lower central series have the same dimension. We show that the Nielsen and Lefschetz coincidence numbers of maps f,g: Γ∖L → Γ’∖L’ between nilmanifolds Γ∖L and Γ’∖L’ can be computed algebraically as follows: L(f,g) = det(G⁎ - F⁎), N(f,g) = |L(f,g)|, where F⁎, G⁎ are the matrices, with respect to any preferred bases on the uniform lattices Γ and Γ’, of the homomorphisms between the Lie algebras , ’ of...
