What is an Almost Normal Surface
Joel Hass
A major breakthrough in the theory of topological algorithms occurred in 1992 when Hyam Rubinstein introduced the idea of an almost normal surface. We explain how almost normal sur…

Simplicial energy and simplicial harmonic maps
Joel Hass, Peter Scott
We introduce a combinatorial energy for maps of triangulated surfaces with simplicial metrics and analyze the existence and uniqueness properties of the corresponding harmonic maps…

Topological and physical knot theory are distinct
Alexander Coward, Joel Hass
Physical knots and links are one-dimensional submanifolds of R^3 with fixed length and thickness. We show that isotopy classes in this category can differ from those of classical k…
