Sparse curve systems have intermediate growth type
Sebastian Baader, Jasmin Jörg, Danica Kosanović
A system of simple closed curves on a surface of genus is said to be sparse if their average pairwise intersection number does not exceed one. We show that the maximal size of…
Restricted (2+1)-TQFTs supported by thickened and solid tori
Dušan Đorđević, Danica Kosanović, Jovana Nikolić +1
A faithful TQFT has recently been constructed, but the existence of a faithful TQFT remains an open question, that subsumes the hard problem of linearity of mapping…
Lie structures in homotopy and isotopy calculi
Danica Kosanović
We establish compatibility of Lie structures that appear in homotopy calculus of functors and isotopy calculus of embeddings. On one hand, we give a new proof of the Johnson--Arone…
Grasper families of spheres in and barbell diffeomorphisms of
Eduardo Fernández, David T. Gay, Daniel Hartman +1
We show that the fundamental group of framed circles in injects into the fundamental group of framed spheres in , so that the cokernel is the fundam…
An algebro-geometric model for the configuration category
Pedro Boavida de Brito, Geoffroy Horel, Danica Kosanović
Using log-geometry, we construct a model for the configuration category of a smooth algebraic variety. As an application, we prove the formality of certain configuration spaces.
On fundamental groups of spaces of framed embeddings of a circle in a 4-manifold
Danica Kosanović
Motivated by recent results on diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds, this paper investigates fundamental groups of spaces of embeddings of in 4-manifolds. The majority of…
