1-slim triangles and uniform hyperbolicity for arc graphs and curve graphs

Sebastian Hensel, Piotr Przytycki, Richard C. H. Webb (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We describe unicorn paths in the arc graph and show that they form 1-slim triangles and are invariant under taking subpaths. We deduce that all arc graphs are 7-hyperbolic. Considering the same paths in the arc and curve graph, this also shows that all curve graphs are 17-hyperbolic, including closed surfaces.

3-manifold spines and bijoins.

Luigi Grasselli (1990)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We describe a combinatorial algorithm for constructing all orientable 3-manifolds with a given standard bidimensional spine by making use of the idea of bijoin (Bandieri and Gagliardi (1982), Graselli (1985)) over a suitable pseudosimplicial triangulation of the spine.

ℓ²-homology and planar graphs

Timothy A. Schroeder (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In his 1930 paper, Kuratowski proves that a finite graph Γ is planar if and only if it does not contain a subgraph that is homeomorphic to K₅, the complete graph on five vertices, or K 3 , 3 , the complete bipartite graph on six vertices. This result is also attributed to Pontryagin. In this paper we present an ℓ²-homological method for detecting non-planar graphs. More specifically, we view a graph Γ as the nerve of a related Coxeter system and construct the associated Davis complex, Σ Γ . We then use a...

θ -curves inducing two different knots with the same 2 -fold branched covering spaces

Soo Hwan Kim, Yangkok Kim (2003)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

For a knot K with a strong inversion i induced by an unknotting tunnel, we have a double covering projection Π : S 3 S 3 / i branched over a trivial knot Π fix i , where fix i is the axis of i . Then a set Π fix i K is called a θ -curve. We construct θ -curves and the Z 2 Z 2 cyclic branched coverings over θ -curves, having two non-isotopic Heegaard decompositions which are one stable equivalent.
