Small angle limits of Hamilton's footballs [PDF]
Compact Ricci solitons on surfaces have at most two cone points, and are known as Hamilton's footballs. In this note we completely describe the degenerations of these footballs as one or both of the cone angles approaches zero. In particular, we show that Hamilton's famous non-compact cigar soliton is the Gromov--Hausdorff limit of Hamilton's compact ...

AbstractThe vertices of the graph Ok are indexed by the (k−1)-subsets of a (2k−1)-set. Two vertices are adjacent if and only if their labelling sets are disjoint. This paper establishes that O5 is an edge disjoint union of two Hamiltonian circuits and a 1-factor and that O6 is an edge disjoint union of three Hamiltonian ciruits.
