Branched Covers of Open Manifolds
Mark Hughes, Alexandra Kjuchukova, Maggie Miller
For and we prove that any connected, oriented, open manifold admits a simple branched covering map over . When has ends and is finite, t…
Branched covers of twist-roll spun knots and turned twisted tori
Mark Hughes, Seungwon Kim, Maggie Miller
We prove that the double branched cover of a twist-roll spun knot in is smoothly preserved when four twists are added, and that the double branched cover of a twist-roll spun…
Non-split, alternating links bound unique Seifert surfaces in the 4-ball
Seungwon Kim, Maggie Miller, Jaehoon Yoo
We show that any two same-genus, oriented, boundary parallel surfaces bounded by a non-split, alternating link into the 4-ball are smoothly isotopic fixing boundary. In other words…
-disks in
Anthony Conway, Irving Dai, Maggie Miller
We study locally flat disks in with boundary a fixed knot and whose complement has fundamental group $\mathbb…
