Title: Slope of orderable Dehn filling of two-bridge knots
In this paper, we study the Riley polynomial of double twist knots with higher genus. Using the root of the Riley polynomial, we compute the range of rational slope [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]-filling of the knot complement has left-orderable fundamental group. Further more, we make a conjecture about left-orderable surgery slopes of two-bridge knots.  more » « less

    The non-orientable 4-genus of a knot [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] is defined to be the minimum first Betti number of a non-orientable surface [Formula: see text] smoothly embedded in [Formula: see text] so that [Formula: see text] bounds [Formula: see text]. We will survey the tools used to compute the non-orientable 4-genus, and use various techniques to calculate this invariant for non-alternating 11 crossing knots. We will also view obstructions to a knot bounding a Möbius band given by the double branched cover of [Formula: see text] branched over [Formula: see text].

    We prove that the knots [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] both have stick number 10. These are the first non-torus prime knots with more than 9 crossings for which the exact stick number is known.

    Let [Formula: see text] be an integer and [Formula: see text] be a finite field with [Formula: see text] elements. We prove several results on the distribution in short intervals of polynomials in [Formula: see text] that are not divisible by the [Formula: see text]th power of any non-constant polynomial. Our main result generalizes a recent theorem by Carmon and Entin on the distribution of squarefree polynomials to all [Formula: see text]. We also develop polynomial versions of the classical techniques used to study gaps between [Formula: see text]-free integers in [Formula: see text]. We apply these techniques to obtain analogs in [Formula: see text] of some classical theorems on the distribution of [Formula: see text]-free integers. The latter results complement the main theorem in the case when the degrees of the polynomials are of moderate size.

    For generalized Korteweg–De Vries (KdV) models with polynomial nonlinearity, we establish a local smoothing property in [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. Such smoothing effect persists globally, provided that the [Formula: see text] norm does not blow up in finite time. More specifically, we show that a translate of the nonlinear part of the solution gains [Formula: see text] derivatives for [Formula: see text]. Following a new simple method, which is of independent interest, we establish that, for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] norm of a solution grows at most by [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] norm is a priori controlled.

    We introduce the notion of [Formula: see text]-determinacy for [Formula: see text] a pointclass and [Formula: see text] an equivalence relation on a Polish space [Formula: see text]. A case of particular interest is the case when [Formula: see text] is the (left) shift-action of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. We show that for all shift actions by countable groups [Formula: see text], and any “reasonable” pointclass [Formula: see text], that [Formula: see text]-determinacy implies [Formula: see text]-determinacy. We also prove a corresponding result when [Formula: see text] is a subshift of finite type of the shift map on [Formula: see text].
