The fundamental group of a high dimensional graph manifold canonically has a graph of groups structure. We analyze the group action on the associated Bass-Serre tree and study the algebraic ranks of the fundamental groups of high dimensional graph manifolds.

We generalize 3-manifolds supporting non-positively curved metric to construct manifolds which have the following properties : (1) They are not locally CAT(0). (2) Their fundamental groups are residually finite. (3) They have subgroup separability for some abelian subgroups.

In this paper, we classify all twisted torus knots which are middle/hyper doubly Seifert. By the definition of middle/hyper doubly Seifert knots, these knots admit Dehn surgery yielding either Seifert-fibered spaces or graph manifolds at a surface slope. We show that middle/hyper doubly Seifert twisted torus knots admit the latter, that is, non-Seifert-fibered graph manifolds whose decomposing pieces consist of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers.

In this paper, we classify all twisted torus knots which are doubly middle Seifert-fibered. Also we show that all of these knots possibly except a few admit Dehn surgery producing a non-Seifert-fibered graph manifold which consists of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers, glued together along their boundaries. This provides another infinite family of knots in $S^3$ admitting Dehn surgery yielding such manifolds as done in [5].

Choi and Park introduced an invariant of a finite simple graph, called signed a-number, arising from computing certain topological invariants of some specific kinds of real toric manifolds. They also found the signed a-numbers of path graphs, cycle graphs, complete graphs, and star graphs. We introduce a signed a-polynomial which is a generalization of the signed a-number and gives a-, b-, and c-numbers. The signed a-polynomial of a graph G is related to the $Poincar\acute{e}$ polynomial $P_{M(G)}(z)$, which is the generating function for the Betti numbers of the real toric manifold M(G). We give the generating functions for the signed a-polynomials of not only path graphs, cycle graphs, complete graphs, and star graphs, but also complete bipartite graphs and complete multipartite graphs. As a consequence, we find the Euler characteristic number and the Betti numbers of the real toric manifold M(G) for complete multipartite graphs G.

An inertial manifold is often constructed as a graph of a function from low Fourier modes to high ones and one used to consider backward bounded (in time) solutions for that purpose. We here show that the proof of the uniqueness of such solutions is crucial in the existence theory of inertial manifolds. Avoiding contraction principle, we mainly apply the Arzela-Ascoli theorem and Laplace transform to prove their existence and uniqueness respectively. A non-self adjoint example is included, which is related to a differential system arising after Kwak transform for Navier-Stokes equations.

In this paper, we construct infinite families of knots in $S^3$ which admit Dehn surgery producing a graph manifold which consists of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers, glued together along their boundaries. In particular, we show that for any natural numbers a, b, c, and d with $a{\geq}3$ and $b,c,d{\geq}2$, there are knots in $S^3$ admitting a graph manifold Dehn surgery consisting of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers of indexes a, b, and c, d, respectively.

An almost complex torus manifold is a 2n-dimensional compact connected almost complex manifold equipped with an effective action of a real n-dimensional torus Tⁿ ≃ (S¹)ⁿ that has fixed points. For an almost complex torus manifold, there is a labeled directed graph which contains information on weights at the fixed points and isotropy spheres. Let M be a 6-dimensional almost complex torus manifold with Euler number 6. We show that two types of graphs occur for M, and for each type of graph we construct such a manifold M, proving the existence. Using the graphs, we determine the Chern numbers and the Hirzebruch χ_y-genus of M.

In this note, we show that the cone property is satisfied for a class of dissipative equations of the form $u_t={\Delta}u+f(x,u,{\nabla}u)$ in a domain ${\Omega}{\subset}{\mathbb{R}}^2$ under the so called exactness condition for the nonlinear term. From this, we see that the global attractor is represented as a Lipshitz graph over a finite dimensional eigenspace.

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has received considerable attention due to its effectiveness of reducing high dimensional data and importance of producing a parts-based image representation. Most of existing NMF variants attempt to address the assertion that the observed data distribute on a nonlinear low-dimensional manifold. However, recent research results showed that not only the observed data but also the features lie on the low-dimensional manifolds. In addition, a few hard priori label information is available and thus helps to uncover the intrinsic geometrical and discriminative structures of the data space. Motivated by the two aspects above mentioned, we propose a novel algorithm to enhance the effectiveness of image representation, called Dual graph-regularized Constrained Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (DCNMF). The underlying philosophy of the proposed method is that it not only considers the geometric structures of the data manifold and the feature manifold simultaneously, but also mines valuable information from a few known labeled examples. These schemes will improve the performance of image representation and thus enhance the effectiveness of image classification. Extensive experiments on common benchmarks demonstrated that DCNMF has its superiority in image classification compared with state-of-the-art methods.
