We answer an open question concerning the boundedness of canonical fiber spaces in high dimensions and prove the following: for any set of integers $n\geq 3$, $0<d<n$ and $N>0$, there exists a nonsingular projective $n$-fold $X$ of general…

In this paper it is proven that there is at most one way, up to isotopy, in which a connected, hyperbolic, orientable 3-manifold can fiber over the circle with monodromy in the Torelli group.

We use virtual knot theory to detect the non-invertibility of some classical links in $\mathbb{S}^3$. These links appear in the study of virtual covers. Briefly, a virtual cover associates a virtual knot $\upsilon$ to a knot $K$ in a…

Let M be a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume that admits a decomposition into right-angled ideal polyhedra. We show that M has a deformation retraction that is a virtually special square complex, in the sense of Haglund and…

In a series of papers the authors proved that twisted Alexander polynomials detect fibered 3-manifolds, and they showed that this implies that a closed 3-manifold N is fibered if and only if S^1 x N is symplectic. In this note we summarize…

The paper is devoted to the problem when a map from some closed connected manifold to an aspherical closed manifold approximately fibers, i.e., is homotopic to Manifold Approximate Fibration. We define obstructions in algebraic K-theory.…

Let M be a closed, orientable, irreducible, non-simply connected 3-manifold. We prove that if M admits a sequence of Riemannian metrics whose sectional curvature is locally controlled and whose thick part becomes asymptotically hyperbolic…

A 3-manifold is Haken if it contains a topologically essential surface. The Virtual Haken Conjecture says that every irreducible 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group has a finite cover which is Haken. Here, we discuss two interrelated…

Let W -> X be a real smooth projective threefold fibred by rational curves. Koll\'ar proved that if W(R) is orientable a connected component N of W(R) is essentially either a Seifert fibred manifold or a connected sum of lens spaces. Let k…

Certain fibered hyperbolic 3-manifolds admit a $\mathit{\text{layered veering triangulation}}$, which can be constructed algorithmically given the stable lamination of the monodromy. These triangulations were introduced by Agol in 2011, and…

We show that a smooth 1-parameter family of foliations by circles of a closed 3-manifold, deforming the foliation whose leaves are the fibers of a circle bundle, is trivial, i.e. all the foliations of the family arise from circle bundles…

The main theorem of this article provides sufficient conditions for a degree $d$ finite cover $M'$ of a hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ to be a surface-bundle. Let $F$ be an embedded, closed and orientable surface of genus $g$, close to a minimal…

In early 1930s Seifert and Threlfall classified up to conjugacy the finite subgroups of $\mathrm{SO}(4)$, this gives an algebraic classification of orientable spherical 3-orbifolds. For the most part, spherical 3-orbifolds are Seifert…

We answer a question of Aschenbrenner and Friedl regarding virtual $p$-efficiency for 3-manifold groups. We then study conjugacy $p$-separability and prove results for Fuchsian groups, Seifert fibre spaces and graph manifolds.

We present a family $M_g$ of fibered hyperbolic 3-manifolds whose fibre $F_g$ is the unique connected incompressible surface and the genus $g \geq 2$ of $F_g$ can be arbitrary. This answers a question of Agol.
