Ascending, Bridge, and Unknotting Numbers of Knotted Graphs
Bahar Acu, Puttipong Pongtanapaisan, Ritikaa Singhal
In this paper we define the ascending number and bridge number for virtual and welded spatial graphs. We prove that the former admits a lower bound in terms of the latter. This rel…
Weinstein handlebodies for complements of smoothed toric divisors
Bahar Acu, Orsola Capovilla-Searle, Agnès Gadbled +4
We study the interactions between toric manifolds and Weinstein handlebodies. We define a partially-centered condition on a Delzant polytope, which we prove ensures that the comple…
Generalizations of planar contact manifolds to higher dimensions
Bahar Acu, John B. Etnyre, Burak Ozbagci
Iterated planar contact manifolds are a generalization of three dimensional planar contact manifolds to higher dimensions. We study some basic topological properties of iterated pl…
Planarity in higher-dimensional contact manifolds
Bahar Acu, Agustin Moreno
We obtain several results for (iterated) planar contact manifolds in higher dimensions: (1) Iterated planar contact manifolds are not weakly symplectically semi-fillable. This gene…
The Weinstein conjecture for iterated planar contact structures
Bahar Acu
In this paper, we introduce the notions of an iterated planar Lefschetz fibration and an iterated planar open book decomposition and prove the Weinstein conjecture for contact mani…
Symplectic Mapping Class Group Relations Generalizing the Chain Relation
Bahar Acu, Russell Avdek
In this paper, we examine mapping class group relations of some symplectic manifolds. For each and , we show that the -dimensional Weinstein domain $W = \{f…
