The homology cobordism group is not generated by graph homology -spheres

Ben Mares, Yuta Nozaki, Masaki Taniguchi

We show the homology cobordism group of homology -spheres is not generated by graph homology -spheres. Our technique is a combination of filtered instanton Floer theory and G…

Analysis of Hopf solitons as generalized fold maps

Yuta Nozaki, Darian Hall, Ivan I. Smalyukh +1

The Hopf index, a topological invariant that quantifies the linking of preimage fibers, is fundamental to the structure and stability of hopfions. In this work, we propose a new ma…

Homotopy classification of knotted defects in bounded domains

Yuta Nozaki, David Palmer, Yuya Koda

Nozaki et.~al.\ gave a homotopy classification of the knotted defects of ordered media in three-dimensional space by considering continuous maps from complements of spatial graphs…

Quantum Knots that Never Come Untied

Michikazu Kobayashi, Yuta Nozaki, Yuya Koda +1

Lord Kelvin proposed that atoms form hydrodynamic vortex knots. However, they typically untie through reconnections, i. e., local cut-and-slice events, unlike stable vortex unknots…

Torsion elements in the associated graded of the -filtration of the monoid of homology cylinders

Yuta Nozaki, Masatoshi Sato, Masaaki Suzuki

Clasper surgery induces the -filtration over the monoid of homology cylinders, which serves as a -dimensional analogue of the lower central series of…

Homotopy classification of knotted defects in ordered media

Yuta Nozaki, Tamás Kálmán, Masakazu Teragaito +1

We give a homotopy classification of the global defects in ordered media, and explain it via the example of biaxial nematic liquid crystals, i.e., systems where the order parameter…
