Genus-zero links with prescribed knots as components

Raphael Appenzeller, José Pedro Quintanilha

The authors prove that any finite collection of at least three knot isotopy classes in a 3‑manifold can be realized as the components of a genus‑zero link, provided a natural condi…

Cobordism-equivalence for codimension-one submanifolds

Stefan Friedl, Tobias Hirsch, Clayton McDonald +2

We show that two hypersurfaces in a manifold are related by a sequence of embedded cobordisms if and only if they represent the same homology class. By applying handle decompositio…

All knots are trivial: a "proof" by sleight of hand

Raphael Appenzeller, José Pedro Quintanilha, José Pedro Quintanilha

We take a close look at a classical magic trick performed with a string, where a trivial knot is seemingly isotoped into a trefoil, and generalize it to a family of magic tricks fo…

Algorithms in 4-manifold topology

Stefan Bastl, Rhuaidi Burke, Rima Chatterjee +28

We show that there exists an algorithm that takes as input two closed, simply connected, topological 4-manifolds and decides whether or not these 4-manifolds are homeomorphic. In p…

Geometric invariants of locally compact groups: the homological perspective

Kai-Uwe Bux, Elisa Hartmann, José Pedro Quintanilha

In this paper we develop the homological version of -theory for locally compact Hausdorff groups, leaving the homotopical version for another paper. Both versions are connected…

Geometric invariants of TDLC completions

Ilaria Castellano, José Pedro Quintanilha

Recently, Bonn and Sauer showed that, from the point of view of compactness properties, the Schlichting completion of a Hecke pair behaves precisely as if it were the quo…
