Uniform bounds found for Sierpinski carpet hyperbolic components.

For any n\ge 2, we give infinitely many unsplittable links of n components in the 3-sphere which admit non-trivial surgery yielding the 3-sphere again and whose components are mutually distinct hyperbolic knots. Berge and Kawauchi gave 2-component hyperbolic links with those two properties. We can also give infinitely …

The paper studies hyperbolic geometry of links formed by adding trivial components to knots.

Proves freely 2-periodic knots have two canonical components in their character variety.

We realize a given (monic) Alexander polynomial by a (fibered) hyperbolic arborescent knot and link of any number of components, and by infinitely many such links of at least 4 components. As a consequence, a Mahler measure minimizing polynomial, if it exists, is realized as the Alexander polynomial of a fibered hyperb…

New hyperbolic 3-pseudomanifolds with unique properties.

Augmented alternating links are links obtained by adding trivial components that bound twice-punctured disks to non-split reduced non-2-braid prime alternating projections. These links are known to be hyperbolic. Here, we extend to show that generalized augmented alternating links, which allow for new trivial component…

Counting hyperbolic multi-geodesics with individual component lengths.

Geometric data uniquely determines convex subsets in hyperbolic manifolds.

This paper investigates the strength of the trace field as a commensurability invariant of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We construct an infinite family of two-component hyperbolic link complements which are pairwise incommensurable and have the same trace field, and infinitely many 1-cusped finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifo…

This paper is concerned with the completeness (with respect to the centroaffine metric) of hyperbolic centroaffine hypersurfaces which are closed in the ambient vector space. We show that completeness holds under generic regularity conditions on the boundary of the convex cone generated by the hypersurface. The main re…

Enhances neural networks in hyperbolic space for better data structure capture.

We show that the aspherical manifolds produced via the relative strict hyperbolization of polyhedra enjoy many group-theoretic and topological properties of open finite volume negatively pinched manifolds, including relative hyperbolicity, nonvanishing of simplicial volume, co-Hopf property, finiteness of outer automor…

The study finds infinite meridional essential surfaces in hyperbolic knot exteriors of various genera.

In this paper we consider type-preserving representations of the fundamental group of the three--holed projective plane into $\mathrm{PGL}(2, \R) =\mathrm{Isom}(\HH^2)$ and study the connected components with non-maximal euler class. We show that in euler class zero for all such representations there is a one simple cl…

Defined a new graph type for compact surfaces, proving its connectedness and infinite diameter.

We prove that the separating curve graph of a connected, compact, orientable surface with genus at least 3 and a single boundary component is not relatively hyperbolic. This completes the classification of when the separating curve graph is hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic initiated by previous works of the authors…

We prove that for any V>0, there exist a hyperbolic manifold M_V, so that Vol(M_V) < 2.03 and LinVol(M_V) > V. The proof requires study of cosmetic surgery on links (equivalently, fillings of manifolds with boundary tori). There is no bound on the number of components of the link (or boundary components). For statement…

Given a hyperbolic knot $K$ and any $n\geq 2$ the abelian representations and the holonomy representation each give rise to an $(n-1)$-dimensional component in the $\operatorname{SL}(n,\Bbb{C})$-character variety. A component of the $\operatorname{SL}(n,\Bbb{C})$-character variety of dimension $\geq n$ is called high-d…

It was previously shown by the second author that every knot in $S^3$ is ambient isotopic to one component of a two-component, alternating, hyperbolic link. In this paper, we define the alternating volume of a knot $K$ to be the minimum volume of any link $L$ in a natural class of alternating, hyperbolic links such tha…

Compactifies a component by studying metric degeneration.

In this paper, we give a complete classification of exceptional Dehn surgeries on a component of a hyperbolic two-bridge link in the 3-sphere.

A finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold geometrically bounds if it is the geodesic boundary of a finite-volume hyperbolic 4-manifold. We construct here an example of non-compact, finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold that geometrically bounds. The 3-manifold is the complement of a link with eight components, and its volume…

Study coning totally geodesic boundaries of hyperbolic manifolds.

Paper studies flow on hyperbolic surfaces to match boundary lengths.

Let $Γ$ be a nonuniform lattice acting on real hyperbolic n-space. We show that in dimension greater than or equal to 4, the volume of a representation is constant on each connected component of the representation variety of $Γ$ in SO(n,1). Furthermore, in dimensions 2 and 3, there is a semialgebraic subset of the repr…

Study on shortest arcs on hyperbolic surfaces with boundary.

The moduli space of smooth real binary octics has five connected components. They parametrize the real binary octics whose defining equations have 0, 1, ..., 4 complex-conjugate pairs of roots respectively. We show that the GIT-stable completion of each of these five components admits the structure of an arithmetic rea…

We construct pairs of non-isometric hyperbolic 3-orbifolds with the same topological type and volume. Topologically these orbifolds are mapping tori of pseudo-Anosov maps of the surface of genus 2, with singular locus a fibred (hyperbolic) link with five components.

For a hyperbolic 3-manifold M with a torus boundary component, all but finitely many Dehn fillings on the torus component yield hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In this paper, we will focus on the situation where M has two exceptional Dehn fillings, both of which yield toroidal manifolds. For such situation, Gordon gave an uppe…

It is proved that the Hasse-Weil zeta functions of the canonical components of the ${\rm SL}_2$ (${\rm PSL}_2$)-character varieties of closed orientable complete hyperbolic $3$-manifolds of finite volume are equal to the Dedekind zeta functions of their trace fields (invariant trace fields). When the closed $3$-manifol…

The paper provides estimates for Steklov eigenvalues of surfaces with boundary.

We give a list of hyperbolic two-bridge links which includes all such links with complete exceptional surgeries, i.e., Dehn surgeries on both components which yield non-hyperbolic manifolds but whose all the proper sub-fillings give hyperbolic manifolds. Also all the candidate slopes of complete exceptional surgeries f…

In 1990, Hitchin's proved a component of the space of representations of a surface group in SL(n,R) is homeomorphic to a ball. For n=2,3 this component has been identified with the holonomies of geometric structures (hyperbolic for n=2, or real projective for n=3). In the preprint "Anosov flows, Surface groups and Curv…
