We show that the automorphism groups of right-angled Artin groups whose defining graphs have at least 3 vertices are not relatively hyperbolic. We then show that the outer automorphism groups are not relatively hyperbolic, if they are not…
We construct examples of codimension two hyperbolic link complements in closed smooth 4-manifolds with homeomorphism type $\#_{2k}S^2 \times S^2$. All our examples are based on a construction of J. Ratcliffe and S. Tschantz, who constructed…
In this paper we prove that the homotopy class of non-homothety linear endomorphisms on $\mathbb{T}^2$ with determinant greater than 2 contains a $C^1$ open set of non-uniformly hyperbolic endomorphisms. Furthermore, we prove that the…
We survey some tools and techniques for determining geometric properties of a link complement from a link diagram. In particular, we survey the tools used to estimate geometric invariants in terms of basic diagrammatic link invariants. We…
Every volume-preserving centre-bunched fibred partially hyperbolic system with 2-dimensional centre either (1) has two distinct centre Lyapunov exponents, or (2) exhibits an invariant continuous line field (or pair of line fields) tangent…
We prove that a Banach space X is not super-reflexive if and only if the hyperbolic infinite tree embeds metrically into X. We improve one implication of J.Bourgain's result who gave a metrical characterization of super-reflexivity in…
We clarify steps for determining the ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-character variety of any arborescent knot. Interestingly, we show that the `excellent parts' of arborescent knots $K_1,K_2$ are isomorphic if $K_1$ can be related to $K_2$…
Given a non-positively curved cube complex $X$, we prove that the quotient of $\pi_1X$ defined by a cubical presentation $\langle X\mid Y_1,\dots, Y_s\rangle$ satisfying sufficient non-metric cubical small-cancellation conditions is…
We study the fibration of augmented link complements. Given the diagram of an augmented link we associate a spanning surface and a graph. We then show that this surface is a fiber for the link complement if and only if the associated graph…
We show that the volumes of certain hyperbolic A-adequate links can be bounded (above and) below in terms of two diagrammatic quantities: the twist number and the number of certain alternating tangles in an A-adequate diagram. We then…
An alternative method is described for determining the hyperbolic structure on a link complement, and some of its elementary consequences are examined. The method is particularly suited to alternating links.
The hyperbolic volume of a link complement is known to be unchanged when a half-twist is added to a link diagram, and a suitable 3-punctured sphere is present in the complement. We generalize this to the simplicial volume of link…
Thurston conjectured that a closed triangulated 3-manifold in which every edge has degree 5 or 6, and no two edges of degree 5 lie in a common 2-cell, has word-hyperbolic fundamental group. We establish Thurston's conjecture by proving that…
We prove that every rational angled hyperbolic triangle has transcendental side lengths and that every rational angled hyperbolic quadrilateral has at least one transcendental side length. Thus, there does not exist a rational angled…
We prove that relatively hyperbolic groups do not have Lafforgue strong Property $(T)$ with respect to Hilbert spaces. To do so we construct an unbounded affine representation of such groups, whose linear part is of polynomial growth of…
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…
In this paper, we study a notion of hyperbolicity for hyperbolicity foliations with 1-dimensional parabolic leaves, namely the non-existence of holomorphic cylinders along the foliation - holomorphic maps from $\D^{n-1} \times \C$ to the…
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.…
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)…
A hyperbolic set on a compact manifold M, satisfies the property: given two of your any points p and q, such that for all positive \epsilon>0, there is a trajectory in the hyperbolic set from a point \epsilon-close to p to a point…
