Heegaard splittings and Morse-Smale flows
We describe three theorems which summarize what survives in three dimensions of Smale's proof of the higher-dimensional Poincaré conjecture. The proofs require Smale's cancellation lemma and a lemma asserting the existence of a 2-gon. Such 2-gons are the

The boostless bootstrap: amplitudes without Lorentz boosts
Poincaré invariance is a well-tested symmetry of nature and sits at the core of our description of relativistic particles and gravity. At the same time, in most systems Poincaré invariance is not a symmetry of the ground state and is hence broken ...

Topology of 3-dimensional manifolds [PDF]
This is the second paper from a trio which reviews some of the progress in low dimensional topology in the past century. Starting with the work of Poincare in the last years of 19th century and first few years of 20th century, we review the major steps ...

Graphs and projective plaines in 3-manifolds
Proper homotopy equivalent compact P2-irreducible and sufficiently large 3-manifolds are homemorphic. The result is not known for irreducible 3-manifolds that contain 2-sided projective planes, even if one assumes the Poincaré conjecture.

Massive AdS supergravitons and holography
I compare two holographic mechanisms giving to the graviton a parametrically-small supersymmetric mass m g in Anti-de Sitter spacetime. In the context of bimetric gravity these mechanisms couple ‘weakly’ two initially decoupled superconformal theories by:

If spacetime is a physical object, it is conceivable that it loses its integrity or is destroyed in some way as a continuum in an abrupt process initiated in spacetime itself.

Este trabalho descreve as pesquisas realizadas por Henri Becquerel e por Silvanus Thompson, em 1897, que são normalmente descritas como representando a descoberta da radioatividade.

Space-Time Defects and Group Momentum Space
We study massive and massless conical defects in Minkowski and de Sitter spaces in various space-time dimensions. The energy momentum of a defect, considered as an (extended) relativistic object, is completely characterized by the holonomy of the ...

Whole‐Body Pattern of Muscle Degeneration and Progression in Sarcoglycanopathies
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize whole‐body intramuscular fat distribution pattern in patients with sarcoglycanopathies and explore correlations with disease severity, duration and age at onset. Methods Retrospective, cross‐sectional, multicentric study enrolling patients with variants in one of the four sarcoglycan genes who underwent whole‐body ...

Searching for ribbons with machine learning
We apply Bayesian optimization and reinforcement learning to a problem in topology: the question of when a knot bounds a ribbon disk. This question is relevant in an approach to disproving the four-dimensional smooth Poincaré conjecture; using our ...
