Annual Report 1997–1998 Department of Mathematics Cornell University Annual Report 1997Ð98 The image on the cover is taken from a catalogue of several hundred “symmetric tensegrities” developed by Professor Robert Connelly and Allen Back, director of our Instructional Computer Lab. (The whole catalogue can be viewed at http://mathlab.cit.cornell.edu/visualization/tenseg/tenseg.html.) The 24 balls represent points in space placed at the vertices of a truncated cube. The thin dark edges represent “cables,” each connecting a pair of vertices. If two vertices are connected by a cable, then they are not permitted to get further apart. The thick lighter shaded diagonals that lie in the faces of the truncated cube represent “struts.” If two vertices are connected by a strut, then they are not permitted to get closer together. In this example the struts happen to intersect, which is allowed for cables and struts. The examples in the catalogue — including the one represented on the cover — are constructed so that they are “super stable.” This implies that any pair of congurations of the vertices satisfying the cable and strut constraints are congruent. (It turns out that for this structure, each of the six octagonal faces is super stable also.) So if one builds this structure with sticks for the struts and string for the cables, then it will be rigid and hold its shape. The congurations in the catalogue are constructed so that they are “highly” symmetric. By this we mean that there is a congruence of space that permutes all the vertices, and any vertex can be superimposed onto any other by one of those congruences. In the case of the image at hand, all the congruences can be taken to be rotations. Department of Mathematics Annual Report 1997Ð98 Year in Review: Mathematics Instruction and Research Cornell University Þrst among private institutions in undergraduates who later earn Ph.D.s. Ithaca, New York, the home of Cornell University, is located in the heart of the Finger Lakes Region. It offers the cultural activities of a large university and the diversions of a rural environment. Mathematics study at Cornell is a unique experience. The University has managed to foster excellence in research without forsaking the ideals of a liberal education. In many ways, the cohesiveness and rigor of the Mathematics Department is a reßection of the Cornell Tradition.

Although intuition would tell you that it should do this, there is no way to physically test the infinite number of possible variations that could be made to the shape of the wire in order to provide mathematical proof, Minicozzi says. A top geometric analyst Answering Plateau's question—and addressing subsequent conjectures on the properties of complex minimal surfaces—has kept mathematicians busy ever since. The most notable of these researchers in recent years have been Minicozzi and his colleague Tobias Colding, the MIT mathematics professor William Minicozzi in his Cecil and Ida Green Distinguished Professor of office at Building E17. Minicozzi studies the theory of Mathematics at MIT. Together, Minicozzi and surface tension in solutions.

    BUILDING MANIFOLDS FROM QUANTUM CODES MICHAEL FREEDMAN AND MATTHEW HASTINGS ABSTRACT. We give a procedurefor “reverseengineering”a closed, simply connected, Riemannian manifold with boundedlocal geometry from a sparse chain complex over Z. Applying this procedure to chain complexes obtained by “lifting” recently developed quantum codes, which correspond to chain complexes over Z2, we construct the first examples of power law Z2 systolic freedom. As a result that may be of independent interest in graph theory, we give an efficient randomized algorithm to construct a weakly fundamental cycle basis for a graph, such that each edge appears only polylogarithmically times in the basis. We use this result to trivialize the fundamental group of the manifold we construct. 1. BUILDING MANIFOLDS FROM QUANTUM CODES 1.1. Introduction. The last fifty years has seen a glorious exploration of the possible “shapes” of Riemannian manifolds. Often the new ideas contained a combinatorial element reminiscent of geometric topology and rather far from the study of homogenous spaces in which Riemann- ian geometry had incubated during the previous fifty years. This paper is in the modern spirit of building and studying Riemannian manifolds from a combinatorial perspective. In this case we use recently discovered quantum codes to build closed Riemannian manifolds with a surprising prop- erty: power law Z2-systolic freedom. This discovery in effect reverses the historical flow of infor- mation. Twenty years ago one of us helped to create quantum codes exhibiting a weaker poly(log) Z2-systolic freedom [FML02,Fre99], starting with a certain family of Riemannian 3-manifolds. In retrospect it is not surprising that the most efficient constructions will necessarily have a combina- torial complexity beyond a geometer’s intuition, perhaps even requiring computer search, and are better discovered within coding theory and then translated into geometry.

    Singular Behavior of Minimal Surfaces and Mean Curvature Flow by Stephen James Kleene A dissertation submitted to The Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Baltimore, Maryland April, 2010 c Stephen James Kleene 2010 All rights reserved Abstract This document records three distinct theorems that the author proved, along with his collaborators, while a graduate student at The Johns Hopkins University. The author, with M. Calle and J. Kramer, generalized a sharp estimate of Tobias Colding and William Minicozzi for the extinction time of of convex hyper-surfaces in euclidean space moving my their mean curvature vector to a much broader class of evolutions studied by Ben Andrews in (1). Also, the author gave an alternate proof, first given by D. Hoffman and B. White in (17), of very poor limiting behavior for sequences of minimal surfaces in euclidean three space. Finally, the author, together with N. Moller in (23) constructed a new family o asymptotically f conical ends that satisfy the mean curvature self shrinking equation in euclidean three space of all dimensions. ii Acknowledgements Thanks Bill Minicozzi for his continuing advice and support during my time as his student. Thanks to Bill, Chika Mese, and Joel Spruck for the many excellent classes on Geometry and PDE’s over the years; they have benefited me immeasurably. Thanks to all my wonderful friends here in Baltimore, who provided vital advice and support in all things non-mathematical. Thanks to Morgan and Nevena, who always gave me a place to stay and food to eat (and cash) when I needed it.

The past two years have been busy, including our move back into the Simons Building in January 2016. There are a lot of new faces in the department. We are also happy that several department members won major honors for their work and service. This issue will catch you up on happenings in the department, up to spring 2017. Move to the Simons Building Our move to the Simons Building went smoothly, and we are thrilled with the results of the renovation. If you haven’t seen the department, come by and take a look. While still familiar, there are many changes.
