We provide examples of towers of covers of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds whose exponential homological torsion growth is explicitly computed in terms of volume growth. These examples arise from abelian covers of alternating links in the thickened torus. A corollary is that the spanning tree entropy for each regular pla…
We provide upper bounds on the size of the homology of a closed aspherical Riemannian manifold that only depend on the systole and the volume of balls. Further, we show that linear growth of mod p Betti numbers or exponential growth of torsion homology imply that a closed aspherical manifold is "large".
We study the asymptotic behaviour of simply connected, Riemannian manifolds X of strictly negative curvature admitting a non-uniform lattice Γ. If the quotient manifold Xˉ=Γ\X is asymptotically 1/4-pinched, we prove that Γ is divergent and UXˉ has finite Bowen-Margulis measure (which is t…
From the stock markets of six countries with high GDP, we study the stock indices, S&P 500 (NYSE, USA), SSE Composite (SSE, China), Nikkei (TSE, Japan), DAX (FSE, Germany), FTSE 100 (LSE, Britain) and NIFTY (NSE, India). The daily mean growth of the stock values is exponential. The daily price fluctuations about the me…
In this paper we develop an asymptotic analysis for formal and actual solutions of q-difference equations, under a regularity assumption. In particular, evaluations of regular solutions of regular q-difference equations have an exponential growth rate which can be computed from the q-difference equation. The motivation…
Loosely speaking, the Volume Conjecture states that the limit of the n-th colored Jones polynomial of a hyperbolic knot, evaluated at the primitive complex n-th root of unity is a sequence of complex numbers that grows exponentially. Moreover, the exponential growth rate is proportional to the hyperbolic volume of the …
For d=2n+1 a positive odd integer, we consider sequences of arithmetic subgroups of SO_0(d,1) and Spin(d,1) yielding corresponding hyperbolic manifolds of finite volume and show that, under appropriate and natural assumptions, the torsion of the associated cohomology groups grows exponentially.
We formulate a generalization of the volume conjecture for planar graphs. Denoting by <G, c> the Kauffman bracket of the graph G whose edges are decorated by real "colors" c, the conjecture states that, under suitable conditions, certain evaluations of <G,kc> grow exponentially as k goes to infinity and the growth rate…
Uniform Poincaré inequalities established for various metric spaces.
problem Establishing uniform Poincaré inequalities on different metric spaces.
method Proper geodesic metric spaces equipped with a Borel measure. Local Poincaré inequality and volume conditions are used to derive uniform Poincaré inequalities.
result Uniform Poincaré inequalities are established for various metric spaces including hyperbolic spaces and covers of compact spaces.
We establish new strong lower bounds on the (subnormal) subgroup growth of a large class of groups. This includes the fundamental groups of all finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds and all (free non-abelian)-by-cyclic groups. The lower bound is nearly exponential, which should be compared with the fastest possible subg…
We show that if p:M→N is a normal Riemannian covering, with N closed, and M has exponential volume growth, then there are non-constant, positive harmonic functions on M. This was conjectured by Lyons and Sullivan in \cite{LS}.
Given a knot in 3-space, one can associate a sequence of Laurrent polynomials, whose nth term is the nth colored Jones polynomial. The Generalized Volume Conjecture states that the value of the n-th colored Jones polynomial at $\exp(2 πi \a/n)$ is a sequence of complex numbers that grows exponentially, for a fixe…
Study on hyperbolic groups, focusing on separability and splittings.
problem Coarse separability and splittings in hyperbolic groups.
method Quantitative analysis of volume growth and cut-sets, focusing on thickened spheres.
result One-ended hyperbolic groups that are not virtually surface groups are coarsely separable by a subset of subexponential growth if and only if they split over a virtually cyclic subgroup.
The purpose of this paper is to point out that `supremum' in two inequalities of Brooks should be replaced with `infimum'. The results of this paper are already known by Professor Higuci. Hence, I want to delete this paper from this preprint server.
The volume conjecture and its generalization state that the series of certain evaluations of the colored Jones polynomials of a knot would grow exponentially and its growth rate would be related to the volume of a three-manifold obtained by Dehn surgery along the knot. In this paper, we show that for the figure-eight k…
Quantum 6j-symbols linked to tetrahedra angles and volumes.
problem Understanding quantum 6j-symbols and their geometric interpretation.
method Establishing the geometric connection between quantum 6j-symbols and tetrahedra angles, including spherical, Euclidean, and hyperbolic cases.
result Quantum 6j-symbols correspond to dihedral angles of specific tetrahedra, including generalized hyperbolic ones, with exponential growth rates tied to their volumes.
On an odd-dimensional oriented hyperbolic manifold of finite volume with strongly acyclic coefficient systems, we derive a formula relating analytic torsion with the Reidemeister torsion of the Borel-Serre compactification of the manifold. In a companion paper, this formula is used to derive exponential growth of torsi…
We consider the asymptotics of the Turaev-Viro and the Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants of a hyperbolic 3-manifold, evaluated at the root of unity exp(2π−1/r) instead of the standard exp(π−1/r). We present evidence that, as r tends to ∞, these invariants grow exponentially with growt…
The purpose of the present paper is to prove existence of super-exponentially many compact orientable hyperbolic arithmetic n-manifolds that are geometric boundaries of compact orientable hyperbolic (n+1)-manifolds, for any n≥2, thereby establishing that these classes of manifolds have the same growth rate w…
We give several sufficient conditions for uniform exponential growth in the setting of virtually torsion-free hierarchically hyperbolic groups. For example, any hierarchically hyperbolic group that is also acylindrically hyperbolic has uniform exponential growth. In addition, we provide a quasi-isometric characterizati…
Asymptotically flat manifolds with Euclidean volume growth are known to be ALE. In this paper, we consider a class of asymptotically flat manifolds with slower volume growth and prove that their asymptotic geometry is that of a fibration over an ALE manifold. In particular, we show that gravitational instantons with cu…
In this paper we study volume growth of gradient steady Ricci solitons. We show that if the potential function satisfies a uniform condition, then the soliton has at most Euclidean volume growth.
