Grope cobordism of classical knots [PDF]
We explain the notion of a grope cobordism between two knots in a 3-manifold. Each grope cobordism has a type that can be described by a rooted unitrivalent tree.

Topology-Preserving and Geometric Feature-Correction Watermarking of Vector Maps
Digital watermarking is an effective method of vector map copyright protection. However, the topology and geometric features are potentially influenced by the disturbances of vertices caused by watermark embedding, thus reducing the availability of ...

Knot Theory: from Fox 3-colorings of links to Yang-Baxter homology and Khovanov homology
This paper is an extended account of my "Introductory Plenary talk at Knots in Hellas 2016" conference We start from the short introduction to Knot Theory from the historical perspective, starting from Heraclas text (the first century AD), mentioning R ...

This is an expository paper, based on by a talk given at the AWM Research Symposium 2017. It is intended as a gentle introduction to geometric group theory with a focus on the notion of hyperbolicity, a theme that has inspired the field from its ...

Degeneration of Heegaard genus, a survey [PDF]
We survey known (and unknown) results about the behavior of Heegaard genus of 3-manifolds constructed via various gluings. The constructions we consider are (1) gluing together two 3-manifolds with incompressible boundary, (2) gluing together the ...

Pachner Move 3->3 and Affine Volume-Preserving Geometry in R^3
Pachner move 3 ->3 deals with triangulations of four-dimensional manifolds. We present an algebraic relation corresponding in a natural way to this move and based, a bit paradoxically, on three-dimensional geometry.Comment: Published in SIGMA (Symmetry ...

Probing mapping class groups using arcs
The action of the mapping class group of a surface on the collection of homotopy classes of disjointly embedded curves or arcs in the surface is discussed here as a tool for understanding Riemann's moduli space and its topological and geometric ...

Improving the Geometric Topology of Geothermal Heat Exchangers in Oil Bore-Holes
A review has been conducted of key trends in the development of geometric topology of geothermal heat exchangers. Authors proposed approaches to improving the designs and network structures for heat-transfer media circulation in the bottom-hole space of ...
