We introduce a new link invariant called the algebraic genus, which gives an upper bound for the topological slice genus of links. In fact, the algebraic genus is an upper bound for another version of the slice genus proposed here: the minimal genus of a surface in the four-ball whose complement has infinite cyclic fundamental group. We characterize the algebraic genus in terms of cobordisms in three-space, and explore the connections to other knot invariants related to the Seifert form, the Blanchfield form, knot genera and unknotting. Employing Casson-Gordon invariants, we discuss the algebraic genus as a candidate for the optimal upper bound for the topological slice genus that is determined by the S-equivalence class of Seifert matrices.

Lagrangian cobordism induces a preorder on the set of Legendrian links in any contact 3-manifold. We show that any finite collection of null-homologous Legendrian links in a tight contact 3-manifold with a common rotation number has an upper bound wi
th respect to the preorder. In particular, we construct an exact Lagrangian cobordism from each element of the collection to a common Legendrian link. This construction allows us to define a notion of minimal Lagrangian genus between any two null-homologous Legendrian links with a common rotation number.
A family of rigorous upper bounds on the growth rate of local gyrokinetic instabilities in magnetized plasmas is derived from the evolution equation for the Helmholtz free energy. These bounds hold for both electrostatic and electromagnetic instabili
ties, regardless of the number of particle species, their collision frequency, and the geometry of the magnetic field. A large number of results that have earlier been derived in special cases and observed in numerical simulations are thus brought into a unifying framework. These bounds apply not only to linear instabilities but also imply an upper limit to the nonlinear growth of the free energy.
In this article we show that for any given Riemann surface $Sigma$ of genus $g$, we can bound (from above) the renormalized volume of a (hyperbolic) Schottky group with boundary at infinity conformal to $Sigma$ in terms of the genus and the combined
extremal lengths on $Sigma$ of $(g-1)$ disjoint, non-homotopic, simple closed compressible curves. This result is used to partially answer a question posed by Maldacena about comparing renormalized volumes of Schottky and Fuchsian manifolds with the same conformal boundary.
We define the stabilizing number $operatorname{sn}(K)$ of a knot $K subset S^3$ as the minimal number $n$ of $S^2 times S^2$ connected summands required for $K$ to bound a nullhomotopic locally flat disc in $D^4 # n S^2 times S^2$. This quantity is d
efined when the Arf invariant of $K$ is zero. We show that $operatorname{sn}(K)$ is bounded below by signatures and Casson-Gordon invariants and bounded above by the topological $4$-genus $g_4^{operatorname{top}}(K)$. We provide an infinite family of examples with $operatorname{sn}(K)<g_4^{operatorname{top}}(K)$.
Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$, let $k$ be a nontrivial divisor of $q-1$ and write $e=(q-1)/k$. We study upper bounds for cyclotomic numbers $(a,b)$ of order $e$ over the finite field $mathbb{F}_q$. A general result of our study is that $(a,b)leq
3$ for all $a,b in mathbb{Z}$ if $p> (sqrt{14})^{k/ord_k(p)}$. More conclusive results will be obtained through separate investigation of the five types of cyclotomic numbers: $(0,0), (0,a), (a,0), (a,a)$ and $(a,b)$, where $a eq b$ and $a,b in {1,dots,e-1}$. The main idea we use is to transform equations over $mathbb{F}_q$ into equations over the field of complex numbers on which we have more information. A major tool for the improvements we obtain over known results is new upper bounds on the norm of cyclotomic integers.
