We give a generalization of Thurstons Bounded Image Theorem for skinning maps, which applies to pared 3-manifolds with incompressible boundary that are not necessarily acylindrical. Along the way we study properties of divergent sequences in the deformation space of such a manifold, establishing the existence of compact cores satisfying a certain notion of uniform geometry.

We present an approach for forming sensitivity maps (or sensitivites) using ensembles. The method is an alternative to using an adjoint, which can be very challenging to formulate and also computationally expensive to solve. The main novelties of the presented approach are: 1) the use of goals, weighting the perturbation to help resolve the most important sensitivities, 2) the use of time windows, which enable the perturbations to be optimised independently for each window and 3) re-orthogonalisation of the solution through time, which helps optimise each perturbation when calculating sensitivity maps. These novel methods greatly reduce the number of ensembles required to form the sensitivity maps as demonstrated in this paper. As the presented method relies solely on ensembles obtained from the forward model, it can therefore be applied directly to forward models of arbitrary complexity arising from, for example, multi-physics coupling, legacy codes or model chains. It can also be applied to compute sensitivities for optimisation of sensor placement, optimisation for design or control, goal-based mesh adaptivity, assessment of goals (e.g. hazard assessment and mitigation in the natural environment), determining the worth of current data and data assimilation. We analyse and demonstrate the efficiency of the approach by applying the method to advection problems and also a non-linear heterogeneous multi-phase porous media problem, showing, in all cases, that the number of ensembles required to obtain accurate sensitivity maps is relatively low, in the order of 10s.
We discuss in this article a property of action of groups by isometries called well displacing. An action is said to be well displacing, if the displacement function is equivalent to the the displacement function for the action on the Cayley graph. We relate this property with the fact that orbit maps are quasi-isometric embeddings. We first describe countrexamples that shows this two notions are unrelated in general. On the other hand we explain that for a certain class of groups -- in particular hyperbolic groups -- these two properties are equivalent. In the course of our discussion, we introduce an intrinsic property of the group -- that we called the U-property -- which says quantitatively how the norm an element is controlled by the translation length of finitely many related conjugacy classes. This property play a central role in our discussion.
In this paper, we investigate representations of links that are either centrally symmetric in $mathbb{R}^3$ or antipodally symmetric in $mathbb{S}^3$. By using the notions of antipodally self-dual and antipodally symmetric maps, introduced and studied by the authors, we are able to present sufficient combinatorial conditions for a link $L$ to admit such representations. The latter naturally arises sufficient conditions for $L$ to be amphichiral. We also introduce another (closely related) method yielding again to sufficient conditions for $L$ to be amphichiral. We finally prove that a link $L$, associated to a map $G$, is amphichiral if the self-dual pairing of $G$ is not one of 6 specific ones among the classification of the 24 self-dual pairing $Cor(G) rhd Aut(G)$.
We show that any embedding $mathbb{R}^d to mathbb{R}^{2d+rho(d)-1}$ inscribes a trapezoid or maps three points to a line, where $rho(d)$ denotes the Radon-Hurwitz function. This strengthens earlier results on the nonexistence of affinely $3$-regular maps for infinitely many dimensions $d$ by further constraining four coplanar points to be the vertices of a trapezoid.
We prove and explore a family of identities relating lengths of curves and orthogeodesics of hyperbolic surfaces. These identities hold over a large space of metrics including ones with hyperbolic cone points, and in particular, show how to extend a result of the first author to surfaces with cusps. One of the main ingredients in the approach is a partition of the set of orthogeodesics into sets depending on their dynamical behavior, which can be understood geometrically by relating them to geodesics on orbifold surfaces. These orbifold surfaces turn out to be exactly on the boundary of the space in which the underlying identity holds.
