In this paper we explore coarse properties of cusp-decomposable manifolds first defined by Nguyên Phan. We describe the large scale geometry of the universal cover of a cusp-decomposable manifold and of quasi-isometries between two such universal covers. This description will provide us the tools to prove quasi-isometr…
We prove a Hitchin-Thorpe inequality for noncompact Einstein 4-manifolds with asymptotic geometry at infinity. The asymptotic geometry at infinity is either a cusp bundle over a compact space (the fibered cusps) or a fiber bundle over a cone with a compact fiber (the fibered boundary). Many noncompact Einstein manifold…
We derive a sharp cusp count for finite volume complex hyperbolic surfaces which admit smooth toroidal compactifications. We use this result, and the techniques developed in [DiC12], to study the geometry of cusped complex hyperbolic surfaces and their compactifications.
This thesis investigates cusp cross-sections of arithmetic real, complex, and quaternionic hyperbolic n--orbifolds. We give a smooth classification of these submanifolds and analyze their induced geometry. One of the primary tools is a new subgroup separability result for general arithmetic lattices.
For a single cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold, Hodgson proved that there are only finitely many Dehn fillings of it whose trace fields have bounded degree. In this paper, we conjecture the same for manifolds with more cusps, and give the first positive results in this direction. For example, in the 2-cusped case, if a mani…
The cobordism invariance of the index on closed manifolds is reproved using the calculus of cusp pseudodifferential operators on a manifold with boundary. More generally, on a compact manifold with corners, the existence of a symmetric cusp differential operator of order 1 and of Dirac type near the boundary implies th…
Let F be a surface and suppose that φ: F -> F is a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism fixing a puncture p of F. The mapping torus M = M_φis hyperbolic and contains a maximal cusp C about the puncture p. We show that the area (and height) of the cusp torus bounding C is equal to the stable translation distance of φacting on th…
Napoleon's theorem in elementary geometry describes how certain linear operations on plane polygons of arbitrary shape always produce regular polygons. More generally, certain triangulations of a polygon that tiles R^2 admit deformations which keep fixed the symmetry group of the tiling. This gives rise to isolation ph…
We prove a bound relating the volume of a curve near a cusp in a hyperbolic manifold to its multiplicity at the cusp. The proof uses a hybrid technique employing both the geometry of the uniformizing group and the algebraic geometry of the toroidal compactification. There are a number of consequences: we show that for …
Any one-cusped hyperbolic manifold M with an unknotting tunnel tau is obtained by Dehn filling a cusp of a two-cusped hyperbolic manifold. In the case where M is obtained by "generic" Dehn filling, we prove that tau is isotopic to a geodesic, and characterize whether tau is isotopic to an edge in the canonical decompos…
At a 3/2-cusp of a given plane curve γ(t), both of the Euclidean curvature κg and the affine curvature κA diverge. In this paper, we show that each of ∣sg∣κg and (sA)2κA (called the Euclidean and affine normalized curvature, respectively) at a 3/2-cusp is a smooth function of the variable t, …
We study the geometry of fully augmented link complements in S3 by looking at their link diagrams. We extend the method introduced by Thistlethwaite and Tsvietkova to fully augmented links and define a system of algebraic equations in terms of parameters coming from edges and crossings of the link diagrams. Combinin…
A generalized cusp C is diffeomorphic to [0,∞) times a closed Euclidean manifold. Geometrically C is the quotient of a properly convex domain by a lattice, Γ, in one of a family of affine groups G(ψ), parameterized by a point ψ in the (dual closed) Weyl chamber for SL(n+1,R), and Γ determi…
We study the geometry of the Margulis region associated with an irrational screw translation g acting on the 4-dimensional real hyperbolic space. This is an invariant domain with the parabolic fixed point of g on its boundary which plays the role of an invariant horoball for a translation in dimensions ≤3. Th…
The goal of this paper is to study the geometry of cusped complex hyperbolic manifolds through their compactifications. We characterize toroidal compactifications with non-nef canonical divisor. We derive effective very ampleness results for toroidal compactifications of finite volume complex hyperbolic manifolds. We e…
