Remarks on minimal round functions

Georgi Khimshiashvili, Dirk Siersma (2003)

Banach Center Publications

We describe the structure of minimal round functions on compact closed surfaces and three-dimensional manifolds. The minimal possible number of critical loops is determined and typical non-equisingular round function germs are interpreted in the spirit of isolated line singularities. We also discuss a version of Lusternik-Schnirelmann theory suitable for round functions.

Remarks on the symmetries of planar fronts.

F. Aicardi (1995)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

A front is the projection on the plane of a Legendrian immersion of a circle in the space of the contact elements of that plane. I analyze the symmetries of a generic front with respect to the group generated by the involutions reversing the orientation of the plane, the orientation of the preimage circle and the coorientation of the contact plane.

Remarques à propos d'un lemme de R.H. Fox, le groupe fondamental d'un revêtement ramifié

Michel Domergue (1978)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Dans cette note, nous reformulons et nous démontrons un lemme dont l’énoncé et la démonstration donnés dans un article de R.H. Fox sur les revêtements ramifiés, comportent un certain nombre d’imprécisions. Nous établissons aussi deux théorèmes qui sont utilisés pour calculer le groupe fondamental de l’antécédent, au sens de Fox, d’un revêtement ramifié lorsque celui-ci est un complexe homogène sans bord de dimension 3 ou une n -variété combinatoire sans bord.

Representation of finite groups and the first Betti number of branched coverings of a universal Borromean orbifold

Masahito Toda (2004)

Open Mathematics

The paper studies the first homology of finite regular branched coverings of a universal Borromean orbifold called B 4,4,4ℍ3. We investigate the irreducible components of the first homology as a representation space of the finite covering transformation group G. This gives information on the first betti number of finite coverings of general 3-manifolds by the universality of B 4,4,4. The main result of the paper is a criterion in terms of the irreducible character whether a given irreducible representation...

Representations of (1,1)-knots

Alessia Cattabriga, Michele Mulazzani (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We present two different representations of (1,1)-knots and study some connections between them. The first representation is algebraic: every (1,1)-knot is represented by an element of the pure mapping class group of the twice punctured torus PMCG₂(T). Moreover, there is a surjective map from the kernel of the natural homomorphism Ω:PMCG₂(T) → MCG(T) ≅ SL(2,ℤ), which is a free group of rank two, to the class of all (1,1)-knots in a fixed lens space. The second representation is parametric: every...
