Aramayona and Leininger have provided a finite rigid subset $mathfrak{X}(Sigma)$ of the curve complex $mathscr{C}(Sigma)$ of a surface $Sigma = Sigma^n_g$, characterized by the fact that any simplicial injection $mathfrak{X}(Sigma) to mathscr{C}(Sigma)$ is induced by a unique element of the mapping class group $mathrm{Mod}(Sigma)$. In this paper we prove that, in the case of the sphere with $ngeq 5$ marked points, the reduced homology class of the finite rigid set of Aramayona and Leininger is a $mathrm{Mod}(Sigma)$-module generator for the reduced homology of the curve complex $mathscr{C}(Sigma)$, answering in the affirmative a question posed by Aramayona and Leininger. For the surface $Sigma = Sigma_g^n$ with $ggeq 3$ and $nin {0,1}$ we find that the finite rigid set $mathfrak{X}(Sigma)$ of Aramayona and Leininger contains a proper subcomplex $X(Sigma)$ whose reduced homology class is a $mathrm{Mod}(Sigma)$-module generator for the reduced homology of $mathscr{C}(Sigma)$ but which is not itself rigid.

For each closed surface of genus $gge3$, we find a finite subcomplex of the separating curve complex that is rigid with respect to incidence-preserving maps.

The Kakimizu complex is usually defined in the context of knots, where it is known to be quasi-Euclidean. We here generalize the definition of the Kakimizu complex to surfaces and 3-manifolds (with or without boundary). Interestingly, in the setting of surfaces, the complexes and the techniques turn out to replicate those used to study the Torelli group, {it i.e.,} the nonlinear subgroup of the mapping class group. Our main results are that the Kakimizu complexes of a surface are contractible and that they need not be quasi-Euclidean. It follows that there exist (product) $3$-manifolds whose Kakimizu complexes are not quasi-Euclidean.
We report on the modification of drag by neutrally buoyant spherical particles in highly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow. These particles can be used to disentangle the effects of size, deformability, and volume fraction on the drag, when contrasted wi th the drag for bubbly flows. We find that rigid spheres hardly change the drag of the system beyond the trivial viscosity effects caused by replacing the working fluid with particles. The size of the particle has a marginal effect on the drag, with smaller diameter particles showing only slightly lower drag. Increasing the particle volume fraction shows a net drag increase as the effective viscosity of the fluid is also increased. The increase in drag for increasing particle volume fraction is corroborated by performing laser Doppler anemometry where we find that the turbulent velocity fluctuations also increase with increasing volume fraction. In contrast with rigid spheres, for bubbles the effective drag reduction also increases with increasing Reynolds number. Bubbles are also much more effective in reducing the overall drag.
We study the structure of certain classes of homologically trivial locally C*-algebras. These include algebras with projective irreducible Hermitian A-modules, biprojective algebras, and superbiprojective algebras. We prove that, if A is a locally C* -algebra, then all irreducible Hermitian A-modules are projective if and only if A is a direct topological sum of elementary C*-algebras. This is also equivalent to A being an annihilator (dual, complemented, left quasi-complemented, or topologically modular annihilator) topological algebra. We characterize all annihilator $sigma$-C*-algebras and describe the structure of biprojective locally C*-algebras. Also, we present an example of a biprojective locally C*-algebra that is not topologically isomorphic to a Cartesian product of biprojective C*-algebras. Finally, we show that every superbiprojective locally C*-algebra is topologically *-isomorphic to a Cartesian product of full matrix algebras.

By the work of Harer, the reduced homology of the complex of curves is a fundamental cohomological object associated to all torsion free finite index subgroups of the mapping class group. We call this homology group the Steinberg module of the mappin g class group. It was previously known that the curve complex has the homotopy type of a bouquet of spheres. Here, we give the first explicit homologically nontrivial sphere in the curve complex and show that under the action of the mapping class group, the orbit of this homology class generates the reduced homology of the curve complex.
