Embedding 3-manifolds in 4-space and link concordance via double branched covers
Andrew Donald
- 01 Jan 2013
TL;DR: In this article, the double branched cover of a slice knot bounding a rational ball is used to obtain a smooth embedding in the four-sphere of a closed, orientable 3-manifold.

Braided matter interactions in quantum gravity via one-handle attachment
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that it is possible to preserve both the original classification of fermions, as well as their interaction via the braid product, if we embed the braided braid in a trivalent scheme and supplement the local Pachner moves, with a nonlocal and graph-changing one-handle attachment.

A rudimentary theory of topological 4D gravity
TL;DR: A theory of topological gravity is a homotopy-theoretic representation of the Segal-Tillmann topologification of a two-category with cobordisms as morphisms.

Complex and symplectic structures on panelled web 4-manifolds
TL;DR: Akbulut and Kalafat as mentioned in this paper analyzed the complex structures on the panelled web 4-manifolds and gave infinite families of almost complex but not complex 4-Manifolds in the non-simply connected case.

- 31 Jan 2013
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-thesis on the basis of a model derived from the model developed in [Bouchut-Boyaval, M3AS (23) 2013] that states that the mode of action of the Higgs boson is determined by the modulus of the E-modulus.

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.
