The Goldman bracket characterizes homeomorphisms between non-compact surfaces

Sumanta Das, Siddhartha Gadgil, Ajay Kumar Nair

We show that a homotopy equivalence between two non-compact orientable surfaces is homotopic to a homeomorphism if and only if it preserves the Goldman bracket, provided our surfac…

Towards a Mathematics Formalisation Assistant using Large Language Models

Ayush Agrawal, Siddhartha Gadgil, Navin Goyal +2

Mathematics formalisation is the task of writing mathematics (i.e., definitions, theorem statements, proofs) in natural language, as found in books and papers, into a formal langua…

Surfaces of infinite-type are non-Hopfian

Sumanta Das, Siddhartha Gadgil

We show that finite-type surfaces are characterized by a topological analog of the Hopf property. Namely, an oriented surface is of finite-type if and only if every proper map…

Random words in free groups, non-crossing matchings and RNA secondary structures

Siddhartha Gadgil, Manjunath Krishnapur

Consider a random word in an alphabet consisting of letters, with the letters viewed either as , , and (i.e., nucleotides in an RNA sequen…

Homogeneous length functions on Groups: Intertwined computer & human proofs

Siddhartha Gadgil

We describe a case of an interplay between human and computer proving which played a role in the discovery of an interesting mathematical result. The unusual feature of the use of…

Homogeneous length functions on groups

D. H. J. Polymath

A pseudo-length function defined on an arbitrary group is a map obeying , the symmetry property $\ell(x^{-1}) = \e…
