An immersion of a smooth $n$-dimensional manifold $M to mathbb{R}^q$ is called totally nonparallel if, for every distinct $x, y in M$, the tangent spaces at $f(x)$ and $f(y)$ contain no parallel lines. Given a manifold $M$, we seek the minimum dimension $TN(M)$ such that there exists a totally nonparallel immersion $M to mathbb{R}^{TN(M)}$. In analogy with the totally skew embeddings studied by Ghomi and Tabachnikov, we find that totally nonparallel immersions are related to the generalized vector field problem, the immersion problem for real projective spaces, and nonsingular symmetric bilinear maps. Our study of totally nonparallel immersions follows a recent trend of studying conditions which manifest on the configuration space $F_k(M)$ of k-tuples of distinct points of $M$; for example, k-regular embeddings, k-skew embeddings, k-neighborly embeddings, etc. Typically, a map satisfying one of these configuration space conditions induces some $S_k$-equivariant map on the configuration space $F_k(M)$ (or on a bundle thereof) and obstructions can be computed using Stiefel-Whitney classes. However, the existence problem for such conditions is relatively unstudied. Our main result is a Whitney-type theorem: every $n$-manifold $M$ admits a totally nonparallel immersion into $mathbb{R}^{4n-1}$, one dimension less than given by genericity. We begin by studying the local problem, which requires a thorough understanding of the space of nonsingular symmetric bilinear maps, after which the main theorem is established using the removal-of-singularities h-principle technique due to Gromov and Eliashberg. When combined with a recent non-immersion theorem of Davis, we obtain the exact value $TN(mathbb{R}P^n) = 4n-1$ when $n$ is a power of 2. This is the first optimal-dimension result for any closed manifold $M eq S^1$, for any of the recently-studied configuration space conditions.

We show that, for a closed orientable n-manifold, with n not congruent to 3 modulo 4, the existence of a CR-regular embedding into complex (n-1)-space ensures the existence of a totally real embedding into complex n-space. This implies that a closed orientable (4k+1)-manifold with non-vanishing Kervaire semi-characteristic possesses no CR-regular embedding into complex 4k-space. We also pay special attention to the cases of CR-regular embeddings of spheres and of simply-connected 5-manifolds.

We prove that in any hyperbolic orbifold with one boundary component, the product of any hyperbolic fundamental group element with a sufficiently large multiple of the boundary is represented by a geodesic loop that virtually bounds an immersed surfa ce. In the case that the orbifold is a disk, there are some conditions. Our results generalize work of Calegari-Louwsma and resolve a conjecture of Calegari.

In this note, we investigate the relation between double points and complex points of immersed surfaces in almost-complex 4-manifolds and show how estimates for the minimal genus of embedded surfaces lead to inequalities between the number of double points and the number of complex points of an immersion. We also provide a generalization of a classical genus estimate due to V.A. Rokhlin to the case of immersed surfaces.
The analogue of Hadwigers conjecture for the immersion order states that every graph $G$ contains $K_{chi (G)}$ as an immersion. If true, it would imply that every graph with $n$ vertices and independence number $alpha$ contains $K_{lceil frac nalpha rceil}$ as an immersion. The best currently known bound for this conjecture is due to Gauthier, Le and Wollan, who recently proved that every graph $G$ contains an immersion of a clique on $bigllceil frac{chi (G)-4}{3.54}bigrrceil$ vertices. Their result implies that every $n$-vertex graph with independence number $alpha$ contains an immersion of a clique on $bigllceil frac{n}{3.54alpha}-1.13bigrrceil$ vertices. We improve on this result for all $alphage 3$, by showing that every $n$-vertex graph with independence number $alphage 3$ contains an immersion of a clique on $bigllfloor frac {n}{2.25 alpha - f(alpha)} bigrrfloor - 1$ vertices, where $f$ is a nonnegative function.
In network science, the non-homogeneity of node degrees has been a concerned issue for study. Yet, with the modern web technologies today, the traditional social communication topologies have evolved from node-central structures to online cycle-based communities, urgently requiring new network theories and tools. Switching the focus from node degrees to network cycles, it could reveal many interesting properties from the perspective of totally homogeneous networks, or sub-networks in a complex network, especially basic simplexes (cliques) such as links and triangles. Clearly, comparing to node degrees it is much more challenging to deal with network cycles. For studying the latter, a new clique vector space framework is introduced in this paper, where the vector space with a basis consisting of links has the dimension equal to the number of links, that with a basis consisting of triangles has the dimension equal to the number of triangles, and so on. These two vector spaces are related through a boundary operator, e.g., mapping the boundary of a triangle in one space to the sun of three links in the other space. Under the new framework, some important concepts and methodologies from algebraic topology, such as characteristic number, homology group and Betti number, will have a play in network science leading to foreseeable new research directions. As immediate applications, the paper illustrates some important characteristics affecting the collective behaviors of complex networks, some new cycle-dependent importance indexes of nodes, and implications for network synchronization and brain network analysis.
