  • Combinatorial cusp count and clover invariants

    Baader S., Ishikawa M.

    Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society 180 ( 2 ) 237 - 245 2026.03

    ISSN  03050041

     View Summary

    We construct efficient topological cobordisms between torus links and large connected sums of trefoil knots. As an application, we show that the signature invariant σ<inf>ω</inf> at ω = ζ<inf>6 </inf>takes essentially minimal values on torus links among all concordance homomorphisms with the same normalisation on the trefoil knot.

  • Distinguishing 2-knots admitting circle actions by fundamental groups

    Fukuda M., Ishikawa M.

    Revista Matematica Complutense 38 ( 2 ) 307 - 317 2025.05

    ISSN  11391138

     View Summary

    A 2-sphere embedded in the 4-sphere invariant under a circle action is called a branched twist spin. A branched twist spin is constructed from a 1-knot in the 3-sphere and a pair of coprime integers uniquely. In this paper, we study, for each pair of coprime integers, if two different 1-knots yield the same branched twist spin, and prove that such a pair of 1-knots does not exist in most cases. Fundamental groups of 3-orbifolds of cyclic type are obtained as quotient groups of the fundamental groups of the complements of branched twist spins. We use these groups for distinguishing branched twist spins.

  • Relative homotopy groups and Serre fibrations for polynomial maps

    Ishikawa M., Nguyen T.T.

    Journal of the Mathematical Society of Japan 77 ( 2 ) 483 - 497 2025.04

    ISSN  00255645

     View Summary

    Let f be a polynomial map from R<sup>m</sup> to R<sup>n</sup> with m > n > 0 and t0 be a regular value of f. For a small open ball Dt<inf>0</inf> centered at t0, we show that the map f : f<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>(Dt<inf>0</inf>) → Dt<inf>0</inf> is a Serre fibration if and only if f is a Serre fibration over a finite number of certain simple arcs starting at t0. We characterize the fibration f : f<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup>(Dt<inf>0</inf>) → Dt<inf>0</inf> by relative homotopy groups defined for these arcs and use it to prove the assertion.

  • Non-integral boundary slopes of alternating knots

    Ishikawa M., Mattman T.W., Shimokawa K.

    Geometriae Dedicata 219 ( 1 )  2025.02

    ISSN  00465755

     View Summary

    We show, for every positive integer n, there is an alternating knot having a boundary slope with denominator n. We make use of Kabaya’s method for boundary slopes and the layered solid torus construction introduced by Jaco and Rubinstein and further developed by Howie et al.

  • Atypical values at infinity of real polynomial maps with 2-dimensional fibers

    Ishikawa M., Nguyen T.T.

    Comptes Rendus Mathematique 363   917 - 932 2025

    ISSN  1631073X

     View Summary

    We characterize atypical values at infinity of a real polynomial function of three variables by a certain sum of indices of the gradient vector field of the function restricted to a sphere with a sufficiently large radius. This is a three-variable analogue of a result of Coste and de la Puente for real polynomial functions with two variables. We also give a characterization of atypical values at infinity of a real polynomial map whose regular fibers are 2-dimensional surfaces.
