We prove that there are at least 2 commensurability classes of minimal-volume hyperbolic 4-manifolds. Moreover, by applying a well-known technique due to Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro, we build the smallest known non-arithmetic hyperbolic…

We answer a question of Freedman and Krushkal, producing filling links in any closed, orientable 3-manifold. The links we construct are hyperbolic, and have large essential systole, contrasting earlier geometric constraints on hyperbolic…

On finite-volume hyperbolic $3$-manifolds, we compare volumes of different metrics using the exponential convergence of Ricci-DeTurck flow toward the hyperbolic metric $h_0$. We prove that among metrics with scalar curvature bounded below…

In Guts, Volume and Skein Modules of 3-Manifolds (arXiv:2010.06559), we showed that the twist number of certain hyperbolic weakly generalized alternating links can be recovered from a Jones-like polynomial, and offers a lower bound for the…

We study the systole of a model of random hyperbolic 3-manifolds introduced by Petri and Raimbault, answering a question posed in that same article. These are compact manifolds with boundary constructed by randomly gluing truncated…

We determine the lowest volume hyperbolic Coxeter polyhedron whose corresponding hyperbolic polyhedral 3-orbifold contains an essential 2-suborbifold, up to a canonical decomposition along essential hyperbolic triangle 2-suborbifolds.

Let N be a manifold (with boundary) of dimension at least 3, such that its interior admits a hyperbolic metric of finite volume. We discuss the possible limits arising from sequences of relative fundamental cycles approximating the…

We describe an algorithm that, given a 3-manifold M, outputs a finite set containing all minimal volume k-component hyperbolic link complements in M. A key step, that might be of independent interest, is an algorithm that, given two…

In this paper, we describe all the hyperbolic 24-cell 4-manifolds with exactly one cusp. There are four of these manifolds up to isometry. These manifolds are the first examples of one-cusped hyperbolic 4-manifolds of minimum volume.

In this paper we construct explicit examples of both closed and non-compact finite volume hyperbolic manifolds which provide counterexamples to the conjecture that the co-rank of a 3-manifold group (also known as the cut number) is bounded…

We obtain strong upper bounds for the Betti numbers of compact complex-hyperbolic manifolds. We use the unitary holonomy to improve the results given by the most direct application of the techniques of [DS17]. We also provide effective…

In this paper, we show that any non-arithmetic hyperbolic $2$-bridge link complement admits no hidden symmetries. As a corollary, we conclude that a hyperbolic $2$-bridge link complement cannot irregularly cover a hyperbolic $3$-manifold.…

For a twist knot $\mathcal{K}_{p'}$, let $M$ be the closed $3$-manifold obtained by doing $(p, q)$ Dehn-filling along $\mathcal{K}_{p'}$. In this article, we prove that Chen-Yang's volume conjecture holds for sufficiently large $|p| + |q|$…

We construct some cusped finite-volume hyperbolic $n$-manifolds $M_n$ that fiber algebraically in all the dimensions $5\leq n \leq 8$. That is, there is a surjective homomorphism $\pi_1(M_n) \to \mathbb Z$ with finitely generated kernel.…

Every finite collection of oriented closed geodesics in the modular surface has a canonically associated link in its unit tangent bundle coming from the periodic orbits of the geodesic flow. We study the volume of the associated link…

Many noncompact hyperbolic 3-manifolds are topologically complements of links in the 3-sphere. Generalizing to dimension 4, we construct a dozen examples of noncompact hyperbolic 4-manifolds, all of which are topologically complements of…

We study noncompact, complete, finite volume, negatively curved manifolds $M$. We construct $M$ with infinitely generated fundamental groups in all dimensions $n \geq 2$. We construct $M$ whose cusp cross sections are compact hyperbolic…

We show that the simplicial volume of a contractible 3-manifold not homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^3$ is infinite. As a consequence, the Euclidean space may be characterized as the unique contractible $3$-manifold with vanishing minimal…

We show that cusped finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds contain infinitely many simple closed geodesics.

We construct infinitely many examples of pairs of isospectral but non-isometric $1$-cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifolds. These examples have infinite discrete spectrum and the same Eisenstein series. Our constructions are based on an…
