The Link Volume of Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds

Yo'av Rieck, Yasushi Yamashita

We prove that for any V>0, there exist a hyperbolic manifold M_V, so that Vol(M_V) < 2.03 and LinVol(M_V) > V. The proof requires study of cosmetic surgery on links (equivalently,…

The -pure threshold of a determinantal ideal

Lance Edward Miller, Anurag K. Singh, Matteo Varbaro

The -pure threshold is a numerical invariant of prime characteristic singularities, that constitutes an analogue of the log canonical thresholds in characteristic zero. We compu…

Thickness-dependent polarization of strained BiFeO3 films with constant tetragonality

J. E. Rault, W. Ren, S. Prosandeev +7

We measure the remnant polarization of ferroelectric domains in BiFeO3 films down to 3.6 nm using low energy electron and photoelectron emission microscopy. The measured polarizati…
