We prove this for non-uniform lattices in a very strong form, showing that for 2−generic such H’s, d(Γ) = OH(log v/ log log v), which is essentially optimal. While we can not prove a new upper bound for uniform lattices, we will show that for such lattices one can not expect to achieve a better bound than d(Γ) = O(log v).","PeriodicalId":49820,"journal":{"name":"Michigan Mathematical Journal","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85875434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main result is to show that a large family of 2-component Montesinos links are not strongly doubly slice despite being weakly doubly slice and having doubly slice components. Our principal obstruction to strong double slicing comes by considering branched double covers. To this end we prove a result classifying Seifert fibered spaces which admit a smooth embeddings into integer homology $S^1 times S^3$s by maps inducing surjections on the first homology group. A number of other results and examples pertaining to doubly slice links are also given.","PeriodicalId":49820,"journal":{"name":"Michigan Mathematical Journal","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85738132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the first result of this paper, we derive an explicit representation of {Htτ}. It turns out that Htτ is a piecewise quadratic function at any time and that the points of intersection between the parabolas are given in terms of binary expansion of real numbers. Applying the representation formula, we next give the main result, which asserts that {Htτ} has a self-affine property of evolutional type involving a time difference in the functional equality. Furthermore, we determine the optimal time until when the self-affine property is valid.","PeriodicalId":49820,"journal":{"name":"Michigan Mathematical Journal","volume":"11 1","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91157733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
