For any closed surface $S$ of genus $g \geq 2$, we show that the deformation space of marked hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to $S$, $AH(S \times I)$, is not locally connected. This proves a conjecture of Bromberg who recently…

We show that the space of Kleinian punctured torus groups is not locally connected.

We prove that the deformation space AH(M) of marked hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to a fixed compact 3-manifold M with incompressible boundary is locally connected at minimally parabolic points. Moreover, spaces of Kleinian…

Bredon has constructed a 2-dimensional compact cohomology manifold which is not homologically locally connected, with respect to the singular homology. In the present paper we construct infinitely many such examples (which are in addition…

We prove that the space $\mathcal{H}_\infty$ of framed infinite volume hyperbolic $3$-manifolds is connected but not path connected. Two proofs of connectivity of this space, which is equipped with the geometric topology, are given, each…

Using deformations of foliations to contact structures as well as rigidity properties of Anosov foliations we provide infinite families of examples which show that the space of taut foliations in a given homotopy class of plane fields is in…

For each connected alternating tangle, we provide an infinite family of non-left-orderable L-spaces. This gives further support for Conjecture [3] of Boyer, Gordon, and Watson that is a rational homology 3-sphere is an L-space if and only…

We give an example of an essential, hyperconnected, local geometric morphism that is not locally connected, arising from our work-in-progress on geometric morphisms $\mathbf{PSh}(M) \to \mathbf{PSh}(N)$, where $M$ and $N$ are monoids.

We show that infinitesimal automorphisms and infinitesimal deformations of parabolic geometries can be nicely described in terms of the twisted de-Rham sequence associated to a certain linear connection on the adjoint tractor bundle. For…

In a recent paper \cite{T} the fact that a class of locally compact metric spaces $X$, among which are Euclidean spaces, are not homemorphic to their punctured version $X\men\{p\}$, was given an interesting new proof which does not use…

We define extensions of the $L^2$-analytic invariants of closed manifolds, called delocalized $L^2$-invariants. These delocalized invariants are constructed in terms of a nontrivial conjugacy class of the fundamental group. We show that in…

Let $(\Gamma,\mathbb{P})$ be a relatively hyperbolic group pair that is relatively one ended. Then the Bowditch boundary of $(\Gamma,\mathbb{P})$ is locally connected. Bowditch previously established this conclusion under the additional…

In two former papers, the authors independently proved that the space of hyperbolic cone-3-manifolds with cone angles less than 2{\pi} and fixed singular locus is locally parametrized by the cone angles. In this sequel, we investigate the…

K. Kuperberg found a locally connected, finite-dimensional continuum which is homogeneous but not bihomogeneous. We give a similar but simpler example. Like previous constructions, the example is locally a Cartesian product of Menger…

We construct infinite families of non-simply connected locally conformally flat (LCF) 4-manifolds realizing rich topological types. These manifolds have strictly negative scalar curvature and the underlying topological 4-manifolds do not…

We show that if (X, f) is a locally connected Smale space such that the local product structure on X can be lifted by a covering with virtually nilpotent group of deck transformations to a global direct product, then (X, f) is topologically…

We extend the local Langlands conjectures to a certain class of disconnected groups, allowing non-abelian component groups, and recast in this language some aspects of twisted endoscopy. We further introduce normalized twisted transfer…

We present a version of relative locality based on the geometry of twistor space. This can also be thought of as a new kind of deformation of twistor theory based on the construction of a bundle of twistor spaces over momentum space.…

Moduli spaces of polarised (with fixed polarisation type) irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds deformation equivalent to Hilbert schemes of points on $K3$ surfaces are not connected in general and A. Apostolov counted the number of…

We consider the space of embeddings of finitely many circles that bound disks in non-positively curved surfaces. We index the connected components of this space with finite rooted trees and show that the connected components are classifying…
