We prove that given a three manifold with an arbitrary metric $(M^3, g)$ of positive Ricci curvature, there exists a sweepout of $M$ by surfaces of genus $\leq 3$ and areas bounded by $C vol(M^3, g)^{2/3}$. We use this result to construct a sweepout of $M$ by 1-cycles of length at most $C vol(M^3, g)^{1/3}$ and prove a systolic inequality for all $M \neq S^3$. The sweepout of surfaces is generated from a min-max minimal surface. If further assuming a positive scalar curvature lower bound, we can get a diameter upper bound for the min-max surface.

Some filtrations of the tensor product of a highest weight module and a lowest weight module over quantum group Uq(g)are constructed in[1]and one can use them to define a two-sided ideal of the modified quantized enveloping algebra. It is shown that the quotient algebra inherits a canonical basis from the modified quantized enveloping algebra and is dual to the quantum coordinate algebra defined by Kashiwara for a symmetrizable Kac–Moody algebra g.

Let $\U_q(\fg)$ be the quantum supergroup of $\gl_{m|n}$ or the modified quantum supergroup of $\osp_{m|2n}$ over the field of rational functions in $q$, and let $V_q$ be the natural module for $\U_q(\fg)$. There exists a unique tensor functor, associated with $V_q$, from the category of ribbon graphs to the category of finite dimensional representations of $\U_q(\fg)$, which preserves ribbon category structures. We show that this functor is full in the cases $\fg=\gl_{m|n}$ or $\osp_{2\ell+1|2n}$. For $\fg=\osp_{2\ell|2n}$, we show that the space $\Hom_{\U_q(\fg)}(V_q^{\otimes r}, V_q^{\otimes s})$ is spanned by images of ribbon graphs if $r+s< 2\ell(2n+1)$. The proofs involve an equivalence of module categories for two versions of the quantisation of $\U(\fg)$.

Extriangulated categories were introduced by Nakaoka and Palu by extracting the similarities between exact categories and triangulated categories. A notion of mutation of subcategories in an extriangulated category is defined in this article. Let $\cal A$ be an extension closed subcategory of an extriangulated category $\C$. Then the quotient category $\cal M:=\cal A/\X$ carries naturally a triangulated structure whenever $(\cal A,\cal A)$ forms an $\X$-mutation pair. This result unifies many previous constructions of triangulated quotient categories, and using it gives a classification of thick triangulated subcategories of pretriangulated category $\C/\X$, where $\X$ is functorially finite in $\C$. When $\C$ has Auslander-Reiten translation $\tau$, we prove that for a functorially finite subcategory $\X$ of $\C$ containing projectives and injectives, $\C/\X$ is a triangulated category if and only if $(\C,\C)$ is $\X-$mutation, and if and only if $\tau \underline{\X}=\overline{\X}.$ This generalizes a result by J{\o}rgensen who proved the equivalence between the first and the third conditions for triangulated categories. Furthermore, we show that for such a subcategory $\X$ of the extriangulated category $\C$, $\C$ admits a new extriangulated structure such that $\C$ is a Frobenius extriangulated category. Applications to exact categories and triangulated categories are given. From the applications we present examples that extriangulated categories are neither exact categories nor triangulated categories.\
