On diagrams of simplified trisections and mapping class groups
TL;DR: In this article, a necessary and sufficient condition for a 3-tuple of simple closed curves in a surface to be a diagram of a simplified trisection in terms of mapping class groups is given.
Exotic open $4$–manifolds which are nonleaves
TL;DR: The possibility of realizing exotic smooth structures on punctured simply connected $4$-manifolds as leaves of a codimension one foliation on a compact manifold was studied in this article.

Maciej Borodzik,Mark Powell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that an embedded cobordism between manifolds with boundary can be split into a sequence of right product and left product cobordisms, if the codimension of the embedding is at least two.

A Dissertation ON
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a system for the recognition of predefined situations in buildings, which is based on a hierarchy of symbols, which are also predefined, and use the perceived situations as basis for decision making in the interaction of the whole system with its environment.
