Satellite constructions and geometric classification of Brunnian links

We study satellite operations on Brunnian links. First, we find two special satellite operations, both of which can construct infinitely many distinct Brunnian links from almost every Brunnian link. Second, we give a geometric classification theorem for Brunnian links, characterize the companionship graph defined by Budney in [JSJ-decompositions of knot and link complements in [Formula: see text], Enseign. Math. 3 (2005) 319–359], and develop a canonical geometric decomposition, which is simpler than JSJ-decomposition, for Brunnian links. The building blocks of Brunnian links then turn out to be Hopf [Formula: see text]-links, hyperbolic Brunnian links, and hyperbolic Brunnian links in unlink-complements. Third, we define an operation to reduce a Brunnian link in an unlink-complement into a new Brunnian link in [Formula: see text] and point out some phenomena concerning this operation.

Zariski Geometries and Quantum Mechanics

Model theory is the study of mathematical structures in terms of the logical relationships they define between their constituent objects. The logical relationships defined by these structures can be used to define topologies on the underlying sets. These topological structures will serve as a generalization of the notion of the Zariski topology from classical algebraic geometry. We will adapt properties and theorems from classical algebraic geometry to our topological structure setting. We will isolate a specific class of structures, called Zariski geometries, and demonstrate the main classification theorem of such structures. We will construct some Zariski structures where the classification fails by adding some noncommuting structure to a classical one. Finally we survey an application of these nonclassical Zariski structures to computation of formulas in quantum mechanics using a method of structural approximation developed by Boris Zilber.

ON PSEUDO-HERMITIAN MAGNETIC CURVES IN SASAKIAN MANIFOLDS

We define pseudo-Hermitian magnetic curves in Sasakian manifolds endowed with the Tanaka-Webster connection. After we give a complete classification theorem, we construct parametrizations of pseudo-Hermitian magnetic curves in $\mathbb{R}^{2n+1}(-3)$.

Properties of Nilpotent Evolution Algebras with no Maximal Nilindex

As a system of abstract algebra, evolution algebras are commutative and non-associative algebras. There is no deep structure theorem for general non-associative algebras. However, there are deep structure theorem and classification theorem for evolution algebras because it has been introduced concepts of dynamical systems to evolution algebras. Recently, in [25], it has been studied some properties of nilpotent evolution algebra with maximal index (dim E2 = dim E − 1). This paper is devoted to studying nilpotent finite-dimensional evolution algebras E with dim E2 =dim E − 2. We describe Lie algebras related to the evolution of algebras. Moreover, this result allowed us to characterize all local and 2-local derivations of the considered evolution algebras. All automorphisms and local automorphisms of the nilpotent evolution algebras are found.
