Abstract

We study $\partial$-Morin maps, a class of smooth maps from manifolds with boundary such that both the maps themselves and their restrictions to the boundary have only Morin singular points, and the singular point sets of the maps are disjoint from the boundary. We develop a gluing construction that provides a unified framework for studying maps from manifolds with boundary through corresponding maps from closed manifolds. Using this framework, we derive Euler characteristic formulas for $\partial$-Morin maps and a congruence relating the signature to the self-intersection number of the singular point set for $\partial$-fold maps from $4$-manifolds to $3$-manifolds. We also establish an inequality relating singular fibers of stable maps from a $3$-manifold to the plane to the simplicial volume of the source manifold. We further apply these results to the existence problem for $\partial$-fold maps and to the non-singular extension problem.

Hyperbolic links associated to Hamiltonian subgraphs in simple $3$-polytopes

We build a large family of hyperbolic links with an explicit decomposition of the complement into right-angled hyperbolic polytopes of finite volume. Namely, in a series of papers A.D.Mednykn and A.Yu.Vesnin introduced a construction that for a given right-angled polytope $P$ in geometry $\mathbb L^3$, $\mathbb R^3$, $\mathbb S^3$, $\mathbb L^2\times \mathbb R$, $\mathbb S^2\times \mathbb R$ and a Hamiltonian cycle, theta-subgraph or $K_4$-subgraph $Γ$ in the $1$-skeleton of $P$ builds a geometric $3$-manifold $N(P,Γ)$ with an involution $τ$ such that $N(P,Γ)/\langleτ\rangle\simeq S^3$. The brach set of the corresponding $2$-sheeted branched covering $N(P,Γ)\to S^3$ is a link $C_Γ\subset S^3$ consisting of trivially embedded circles. This construction reformulated in the language of toric topology works for such a subgraph $Γ$ in any simple $3$-polytope $P$ and gives a topological $3$-manifold $N(P,Γ)$. We give a criterion when $S^3\setminus C_Γ$ has a complete hyperbolic structure of finite volume and generalize this criterion to similar links in $3$-manifolds different from $S^3$. We prove that hyperbolic links $C_Γ$ are parametrized by nonselfcrossing Eulerian cycles, Eulerian theta-subgraphs and Eulerian $K_4$-subgraphs in hyperbolic right-angled $3$-polytopes of finite volume in $\mathbb L^3$ with $0$, $2$ or $4$ finite vertices. The complement $S^3\setminus C_Γ$ is glued of $4$, $8$ or $16$ copies of the corresponding right-angled polytope. We give a criterion when the link $C_Γ$ consists of mutually unlinked circles and prove that if such a link is nontrivial, then it contains the Borromean rings. The latter problem is motivated by the Efimov effect in quantum mechanics.

Knots and the Sierpinski Tetrahedron

In this paper we prove that there are infinitely many knots that cannot be embedded in the 1-skeletons of the finite iterations of the Sierpinski tetrahedron fractal. We do this by proving that such an embedding induces a sphere decomposition of weight at most 6. There are infinitely many knots with spherewidth greater than this.
