A splitting formula for the spectral flow of the odd signature operator on 3-manifolds coupled to a path of connections.
Here we show that a Kupka component of a codimension 1 singular foliation of with not a square is a complete intersection. The result implies the existence of a meromorphic first integral of .

This is a short summary of a topological model of site-specific recombination, a cellular reaction that creates knots and links out of circular double stranded DNA molecules. The model is used to predict and characterise the topology of the products of a reaction on double stranded DNA twist knots. It is shown that all such products fall into a small family of Montesinos knots and links, meaning that the knot and link type of possible products is significantly reduced, thus aiding their experimental...
