Classifies Nil 3-manifolds as cross-sections of complex hyperbolic surfaces.

We show that the number of isometry classes of cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifolds that bound geometrically grows at least super-exponentially with their volume, both in the arithmetic and non-arithmetic settings.

This paper describes a general algorithm for finding the commensurator of a non-arithmetic cusped hyperbolic manifold, and for deciding when two such manifolds are commensurable. The method is based on some elementary observations regarding horosphere packings and canonical cell decompositions. For example, we use this…

The paper studies arithmeticity and hidden symmetries in fully augmented pretzel link complements.

In 1992, Reid asked whether hyperbolic 3-manifolds with the same geodesic length spectra are necessarily commensurable. While this is known to be true for arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds, the non-arithmetic case is still open. Building towards a negative answer to this question, Futer and Millichap recently construct…

The paper proves geometric bordisms for specific hyperbolic surfaces.

Lattices in PSL(2,C) are omnipotent, acting on geodesics and homology.

Minimal non-arithmetic hyperbolic 3-orbifold found with least volume.

Classifies non-arithmetic orbifolds in specific hyperbolic spaces.

New method constructs non-arithmetic hyperbolic orbifolds from complex arithmetic ball quotients.

In this paper, we show that any non-arithmetic hyperbolic $2$-bridge link complement admits no hidden symmetries. As a corollary, we conclude that a hyperbolic $2$-bridge link complement cannot irregularly cover a hyperbolic $3$-manifold. By combining this corollary with the work of Boileau and Weidmann, we obtain a ch…

The paper embeds non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds into higher-dimensional spaces.

Let $M$ be a geometrically finite acylindrical hyperbolic 3-manifold and let $M^*$ denote the interior of the convex core of M. We show that any geodesic plane in $M^*$ is either closed or dense, and that there are only countably many closed geodesic planes in $M^*$. These results were obtained earlier by McMullen, Moh…

We describe a general procedure to produce fundamental domains for complex hyperbolic triangle groups, a class of groups that contains a representative of the commensurability class of every known non-arithmetic lattice in ${\rm PU}(2,1)$. We discuss several commensurability invariants for lattices, and show that some …

Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro proved existence of finite volume non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds of any given dimension. In dimension four and higher, we show that there are about v^v such manifolds of volume at most v, considered up to commensurability. Since the number of arithmetic ones tends to be polynomial, alm…

We produce a family of new, non arithmetic lattices in PU(2,1). All previously known examples were commensurable with lattices constructed by Picard, Mostow and Deligne-Mostow, and fell into 9 commensurability classes. Our groups produce 5 new distinct commensurability classes. Most of the techniques are completely gen…

We show that the non-arithmetic lattices in PO(n,1) of Belolipetsky and Thomson (2011), obtained as fundamental groups of closed hyperbolic manifolds with short systole, are quasi-arithmetic in the sense of Vinberg, and, by contrast, the well-known non-arithmetic lattices of Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro are not quasi-a…

The study finds infinitely many twist knot complements with totally geodesic surfaces.

The paper finds many thin subgroups isomorphic to Gromov-Piatetski-Shapiro lattices.

We prove that there are at least 2 commensurability classes of minimal-volume hyperbolic 4-manifolds. Moreover, by applying a well-known technique due to Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro, we build the smallest known non-arithmetic hyperbolic 4-manifold.

We prove that every homomorphism from the elementary Chevalley group over a finitely generated unital commutative ring associated with reduced irreducible classical root system of rank at least 2, and ME analogues of such groups, into acylindrically hyperbolic groups has an absolutely elliptic image. This result provid…

In this paper we construct arbitrarily large families of smooth projective varieties and closed Riemannian manifolds that share many algebraic and analytic invariants. For instance, every non-arithmetic, closed hyperbolic $3$--manifold admits arbitrarily large collections of non-isometric finite covers which are strong…

Hybrid subgroups found in non-arithmetic PU(2,1) lattices.

Paper shows non-arithmetic surface with unique geometric property.

Study $\mathbb{C}$-Fuchsian subgroups of non-arithmetic lattices.

We show that for every $n\geq 2$ and any $ε>0$ there exists a compact hyperbolic $n$-manifold with a closed geodesic of length less than $ε$. When $ε$ is sufficiently small these manifolds are non-arithmetic, and they are obtained by a generalised inbreeding construction which was first suggested by Agol for $n=4$. We …

We study the arithmeticity of the Couwenberg-Heckman-Looijenga lattices in PU(n,1), and show that they contain a non-arithmetic lattice in PU(3,1) which is not commensurable to the non-arithmetic Deligne-Mostow lattice in PU(3,1).

We show that large classes of non-arithmetic hyperbolic $n$-manifolds, including the hybrids introduced by Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro and many of their generalizations, have only finitely many finite-volume immersed totally geodesic hypersurfaces. In higher codimension, we prove finiteness for geodesic submanifolds o…

New lattice extensions of Schottky groups in hyperbolic space.

We show that all the currently known non-arithmetic lattices in ${\rm PU}(2,1)$ are monodromy groups of higher hypergeometric functions.

Paper proves non-arithmetic Teichmüller length spectra for subgroup of mapping class groups.

Study jigsaw constructions of hyperbolic lattices and answer questions on arithmeticity and pseudomodularity.

New hyperbolic manifolds with diverse features created.

We give an algebro-geometric construction of some of the non-arithmetic ball quotients constructed by the author, Parker and Paupert. The new construction reveals a relationship between the corresponding orbifold fundamental groups and the automorphism group of the Klein quartic, and also with groups constructed by Bar…

Classifies low-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds with a maximal cusp.

Topology on commensurability classes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds studied.

Study shows certain 4D hyperbolic links don't contain geodesic 3-manifolds.

We construct some non-arithmetic ball quotients as branched covers of a quotient of an Abelian surface by a finite group, and compare them with lattices that previously appear in the literature. This gives an alternative construction, which is independent of the computer, of some lattices constructed by the author with…

The paper studies geodesic hypersurfaces in hyperbolic manifolds and their fundamental groups.

New 3D shape not homotopy equivalent to any hyperbolic shape.

We study conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms in hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We show that they are always accessible and deduce as a result that every conservative $C^{1+}$ partially hyperbolic in a hyperbolic 3-manifold must be ergodic, giving an afirmative answer to a conjecture of Hertz-Hertz-Ures in the co…

New examples of hyperbolic 3-manifolds with unique profinite structure.

A homotopy equivalence between a hyperbolic 3-manifold and a closed irreducible 3-manifold is homotopic to a homeomorphsim provided the hyperbolic manifold satisfies a purely geometric condition. There are no known examples of hyperbolic 3-manifolds which do not satisfy this condition.

3D hyperbolic spaces have endless simple paths.

Surveying recent progress on hyperbolic 3-manifold rigidity.

The study finds a limit on subgroup complexity in hyperbolic 3-manifold groups.

We classify the topological types for the unions of the totally geodesic 3-punctured spheres in orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds. General types of the unions appear in various hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Each of the special types of the unions appears only in a single hyperbolic 3-manifold or Dehn fillings of a single hyp…
