Any knot [Formula: see text] in genus-[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]-bridge position can be moved by isotopy to lie in a union of [Formula: see text] parallel tori tubed by [Formula: see text] tubes so that [Formula: see text] intersects each tube in two spanning arcs, which we call a leveling of the position. The minimal [Formula: see text] for which this is possible is an invariant of the position, called the level number. In this work, we describe the leveling by the braid group on two points in the torus, which yields a numerical invariant of the position, called the [Formula: see text]-length. We show that the [Formula: see text]-length equals the level number. We then find braid descriptions for [Formula: see text]-positions of all [Formula: see text]-bridge knots providing upper bounds for their level numbers and also show that the [Formula: see text]-pretzel knot has level number two.

For a soluble finite group [Formula: see text] and a prime [Formula: see text] we let [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. We obtain upper bounds for the rank, the nilpotent length, the derived length, and the [Formula: see text]-length of a finite soluble group [Formula: see text] in terms of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

For a knot [Formula: see text], the doubly slice genus [Formula: see text] is the minimal [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] divides a closed, orientable, and unknotted surface of genus [Formula: see text] embedded in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we identify the doubly slice genera of 2909 of the 2977 prime knots which have a crossing number of 12 or fewer.

Let [Formula: see text] be a smooth projective algebraic curve of genus [Formula: see text], over the finite field [Formula: see text]. A classical result of H. Martens states that the Brill–Noether locus of line bundles [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is of dimension at most [Formula: see text], under conditions that hold when such an [Formula: see text] is both effective and special. We show that the number of such [Formula: see text] that are rational over [Formula: see text] is bounded above by [Formula: see text], with an explicit constant [Formula: see text] that grows exponentially with [Formula: see text]. Our proof uses the Weil estimates for function fields, and is independent of Martens’ theorem. We apply this bound to give a precise lower bound of the form [Formula: see text] for the probability that a line bundle in [Formula: see text] is base point free. This gives an effective version over finite fields of the usual statement that a general line bundle of degree [Formula: see text] is base point free. This is applicable to the author’s work on fast Jacobian group arithmetic for typical divisors on curves.

It has been conjectured that in a braid group, or more generally in a Garside group, applying any sequence of monotone equivalences and word reversings can increase the length of a word by at most a linear factor depending on the group presentation only. We give a counter-example to this conjecture, but, on the other hand, we establish length upper bounds for the case when only right reversing is involved. We also state a new conjecture which would, like the above one, imply that the space complexity of the handle reduction algorithm is linear.

The author's population density index ( PDI) model is extended to three-dimensional distributions. A derived formula is presented that allows for the calculation of the lower and upper bounds of density in three-dimensional space for any finite lattice.

In this paper, the notion of energy extended to spherical fuzzy graph. The adjacency matrix of a spherical fuzzy graph is defined and we compute the energy of a spherical fuzzy graph as the sum of absolute values of eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the spherical fuzzy graph. Also, the lower and upper bounds for the energy of spherical fuzzy graphs are obtained.
