In this article, we extend Anderson's higher-dimensional Dehn filling construction to a large class of infinite-volume hyperbolic manifolds. This gives an infinite family of topologically distinct asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein…

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…

Any two geometric ideal triangulations of a cusped complete hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ are related by a sequence of Pachner moves through topological triangulations. We give a bound on the length of this sequence in terms of the total…

We study in this article the curvature of complete maximal spacelike submanifolds in pseudo-hyperbolic spaces. We show that the scalar curvature of these submanifolds is nonpositive in every signature. This gives, together with a result of…

We exhibit an algorithm to determine the bridge number of a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere. The proof uses adaptations of almost normal surface theory for compact surfaces with boundary in ideally triangulated knot exteriors.

We give effective bilipschitz bounds on the change in metric between thick parts of a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold and its long Dehn fillings. In the thin parts of the manifold, we give effective bounds on the change in complex length of a…

In this paper, we study the problem of hyperball (hypersphere) packings in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space ($n \ge 4$). We prove that to each $n$-dimensional congruent saturated hyperball packing, there is an algorithm to obtain a…

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…

Torsion polynomials connect the genus of a hyperbolic knot (a topological invariant) with the discrete faithful representation (a geometric invariant). Using a new combinatorial structure of an ideal triangulation of a 3-manifold that…

We prove that any diffeomorphism of a compact manifold can be C^1-approximated by a diffeomorphism which exhibits a homoclinic bifurcation (a homoclinic tangency or a heterodimensional cycle) or by a diffeomorphism which is partially…

We show how a theorem of Sullivan provides a precise mathematical statement of a 3d holographic principle, that is, the hyperbolic structure of a certain class of 3d manifolds is completely determined in terms of the corresponding…

The Heegaard genus is a fundamental invariant of 3-manifolds. However, computing the Heegaard genus of a triangulated 3-manifold is NP-hard, and while algorithms exist, little work has been done in making such an algorithm efficient and…

We prove that a circle bundle over a closed oriented aspherical manifold with hyperbolic fundamental group admits a self-map of absolute degree greater than one if and only if it is virtually trivial. This generalizes in every dimension the…

Determining the reachable set for a given nonlinear system is critically important for autonomous trajectory planning for reach-avoid applications and safety critical scenarios. Providing the reachable set is generally impossible when the…

The main result of this paper is that any $3$-dimensional manifold with a finite group action is equivariantly, invertibly homology cobordant to a hyperbolic manifold; this result holds with suitable twisted coefficients as well. The…

We prove a result on the structure of finite proper holomorphic mappings between complex manifolds that are products of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces. While an important special case of our result follows from the ideas developed by Remmert…

We show that the length $R$ of a systole of a closed hyperbolic $n$-manifold $(n \geq 3)$ admitting a triangulation by $t$ $n$-simplices can be bounded below by a function of $n$ and $t$, namely \[ R \geq \frac{1}{2^{(nt)^{O(n^4t)} }} .\]…

In this note we show that every integer is the signature of a non-compact, oriented, hyperbolic 4-manifold of finite volume, and give some partial results on the geography of such manifolds. The main ingredients are a theorem of Long and…
