Let $M$ be a simple 3-manifold such that one component of $\partial M$, say $F$, has genus at least two. For a slope $\alpha$ on $F$, we denote by $M(\alpha)$ the manifold obtained by attaching a 2-handle to $M$ along a regular neighborhood…

We derive bounds on the length of the meridian and the cusp volume of hyperbolic knots in terms of the topology of essential surfaces spanned by the knot. We provide an algorithmically checkable criterion that guarantees that the meridian…

If a graph is in bridge position in a 3-manifold so that the graph complement is irreducible and boundary irreducible, we generalize a result of Bachman and Schleimer to prove that the complexity of a surface properly embedded in the…

We show that the cusp volume of a hyperbolic alternating knot can be bounded above and below in terms of the twist number of an alternating diagram of the knot. This leads to diagrammatic estimates on lengths of slopes, and has some…

We define for each g>=2 and k>=0 a set M_{g,k} of orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds with $k$ toric cusps and a connected totally geodesic boundary of genus g. Manifolds in M_{g,k} have Matveev complexity g+k and Heegaard genus g+1, and…

In this paper, we use normal surface theory to study Dehn filling on a knot-manifold. First, it is shown that there is a finite computable set of slopes on the boundary of a knot-manifold that bound normal and almost normal surfaces in a…

We determine all hyperbolic 3-manifolds $M$ admitting two toroidal Dehn fillings at distance 4 or 5. We show that if $M$ is a hyperbolic 3-manifold with a torus boundary component $T_0$, and $r,s$ are two slopes on $T_0$ with $\Delta(r,s) =…

We use model theory to study relative profinite rigidity of $3$-manifold groups and show that given any residually finite group $\Gamma$ with finite character variety and single-cusped finite volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$, cofinitely…

We consider properly immersed finite topology minimal surfaces S in complete finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds N, and in M x S(1), where M is a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area. We prove S has finite total curvature equal to…

Let $M$ be a $3$--dimensional handlebody of genus $g$. This paper gives examples of hyperbolic knots in $M$ with arbitrarily large genus $g$ bridge number which admit Dehn surgeries which are boundary-reducible manifolds.

Given $M_\varphi$, a fibered 3-manifold with boundary, we show that the translation distance of the monodromy $\varphi$ can be bounded above by the complexity of an essential surface with non-zero slope. Furthermore we prove that the…

The work of Jorgensen and Thurston shows that there is a finite number N(v) of orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds with any given volume v. We show that there is an infinite sequence of closed orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds, obtained by…

Dehn fillings for relatively hyperbolic groups generalize the topological Dehn surgery on a non-compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold such as a hyperbolic knot complement. We prove a rigidity result saying that if two non-elementary relatively…

When a Dehn filled link manifold contains a geometrically incompressible one-sided surface, it is shown there is a unique boundary incompressible position that the surface can take in the link space. The proof uses a version of the…

Let O be a three-dimensional Nil-orbifold, with branching locus a knot Sigma transverse to the Seifert fibration. We prove that O is the limit of hyperbolic cone manifolds with cone angle in (pi-epsilon, pi). We also study the space of Dehn…

We derive an explicit lower bound on the radius of a ball embedded in a quaternionic hyperbolic manifold.

For a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere, at most finitely many Dehn surgeries yield non-hyperbolic 3-manifolds. As a typical case of such an exceptional surgery, a toroidal surgery is one that yields a closed 3-manifold containing an…

Given a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold M of volume V, and a link L in M such that the complement M \ L is hyperbolic, we establish a bound for the systole length of M \ L in terms of V. This extends a result of Adams and Reid, who showed that…

Let $M$ be a compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold with volume $V$. Let $L$ be a link such that $M\setminus L$ is hyperbolic. For any hyperbolic link $L$ in $M$, in this article, we establish an upper bound of the length of an $n^{th}$ shortest…

This paper proves explicit bilipschitz bounds on the change in metric between the thick part of a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold N and the thick part of any of its long Dehn fillings. Given a bilipschitz constant J > 1 and a thickness…
