We obtain an inequality that estimate its lower bound (Theorem 1). In Theorem 2, we show that if for a pair of spherical curves P and P', (d) over bar (w)(3)([P],[P']) = 1 and P and P' satisfy a certain technical condition, then P' is obtained from P by a single weak RIII only. In Theorem 3, we show that if P and P' satisfy other conditions, then P' is ambient isotopic to a spherical curve that is obtained from P by a sequence of a particular local deformations, which realizes (d) over bar (w)(3)([P], [P'])., Oct. 2018, 27, 12, Scientific journal, 10.1142/S0218216518500669

In this paper, we discuss the depth of a foliation F on a 3- manifold with F being (*) " codimension one, transversely oriented, taut, and proper". We show that for each n > 0, there exists a 3-manifold M such that ( minimal depth of F on M with F being (*) and having exactly one depth 0 leaf) is greater than ( minimal depth of F on M with F being (*)) + n., May 2007, 16, 5, 641, 669, Scientific journal, 10.1142/S0218216507005427

Research Projects

  • Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), 2009, 2012, 21740055, Foliations on three dimensional manifolds, MURAI Hiroko, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Nara Women's University, 0, 0, 0, We studied intersections of essential laminations and Heegaard surfaces which give strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings in three dimensional manifolds. It is known that such Heegaard surfaces intersect essential surfaces in essential simple closed curves. We gave a similar result when Heegaard genus is two. We also gave some examples which give a phenomenon specific to non-compact objects., Competitive research funding, kaken

  • Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 01 Apr. 2013, 31 Mar. 2017, 25400091, Research on 3-manifold using geometric techniques and its development, Kobayashi Tsuyoshi; BAKER Kenneth; FUNAKOSHI Yukari; HASHIZUME Megumi; IDO Ayako; ICHIHARA Kazuhiro; ITO Noboru; JANG Yeonhee; MURAI Hiroko; OZAWA Makoto; TAKAO Kazuto; RIECK Yo'av, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Nara Women's University, 3900000, 3000000, 900000, In this research, we show that, for each n >1, there exist a Heegaard splitting with distance n, and there exists a bridge splitting with distance n. We introduce a new concept on Heegaard theory, called keen Heegaard splitting, and develop the techniques to show that there are keen Heegaard splittings with distance n. Then we show that there are knots each of which admits infinitely many irreducible bridge spheres with arbitrarily high bridge index. We apply the idea of similarity structure on 2-dimensional torus to construct flat foldable origami. Further we show that there are flat foldable origamis that are not constructed by using similarity structure. In addition to these, we define a distance on the set of isotopy classes of the spherical curves, and give some results on it., kaken
