Exotic aspherical 4-manifolds

math.GT · 2024-11-28 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Constructs closed aspherical 4-manifolds that are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic, providing counterexamples to the smooth Borel conjecture in dimension 4.

On T-positive links

math.GT · 2026-05-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

T-positive links are precisely the strongly quasipositive links that are closures of T-homogeneous braids, strictly containing non-split braid positive links, with all strongly quasipositive fibered knots up to 12 crossings being T-positive.

Sutured manifold hierarchies and the Thurston nom

math.GT · 2026-04-21 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

An explicit maw dual graph construction extracts the Thurston norm from sutured manifold hierarchies, yielding computations for three-component pretzel link exteriors and a theorem that certain nonseparating surfaces in Haken manifolds lie outside open top-dimensional cones of the norm ball.

The Score Hamiltonian: Mapping Diffusion Models to Adiabatic Transport

math-ph · 2026-05-28 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Establishes exact correspondence between diffusion sampling and adiabatic ground-state transport in Score Hamiltonians, yielding density reconstruction bounds and a fundamental sampling limit given by squared score error over spectral gap.

Physics on manifolds with exotic differential structures

hep-th · 2025-01-23 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

Exotic differential structures on S^7 produce different Dirac operator spectra for specific symmetric gauge potentials in the Kaluza-Klein limit, implying different physical laws on topologically identical manifolds.
