We prove that for any closed, connected, oriented 3-manifold M, there exists an infinite family of 2-fold branched covers of M that are hyperbolic 3-manifolds and surface bundles over the circle with arbitrarily large volume.

Suppose $G$ is a connected complex Lie group and $H$ is a closed complex subgroup such that $X := G/H$ is Kaehler and the codimension of the top non-vanishing homology group of $X$ with coefficients in $\mathbb Z_2$ is less than or equal to…

We prove that if two cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifolds admit a regular isomorphism between the profinite completions of their fundamental groups, then they share the same $A$-polynomial and their strongly detected boundary slopes match up.

We show the existence of a family of manifolds on which all (pointwise or absolutely) partially hyperbolic systems are dynamically coherent. This family is the set of 3-manifolds with nilpotent, non-abelian fundamental group. We further…

We show that an immersed thrice-punctured sphere in a cusped orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold is either embedded or has a single clasp in a manifold obtained by hyperbolic Dehn filling on a cusp of the Whitehead link complement.

Using alternating Heegaard diagrams, we construct some 3-manifolds which admit diffeomorphisms such that the non-wandering sets of the diffeomorphisms are composed of Smale-Williams solenoid attractors and repellers, an interesting example…

In this long note, we investigate various purely topological aspects of non-Hausdorff manifolds (NH-manifolds for short). Our emphasis is on manifolds which exhibit homogeneity or weakenings thereof, in particular being everywhere…

We prove that for every closed, connected, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold, there exists an alternating group A_n which is not the topological symmetry group of any graph embedded in the manifold. We also show that for every finite group…

This note is a sequel to our earlier paper of the same title [dg-ga/9710001] and describes invariants of rational homology 3-spheres associated to acyclic orthogonal local systems. Our work is in the spirit of the Axelrod-Singer papers,…

Let N be a compact, orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold with connected, totally geodesic boundary of genus 2. If N has Heegaard genus at least 5, then its volume is greater than 6.89. The proof of this result uses the following dichotomy:…

It is shown that the hyperspace of all nonempty closed subsets $\Cld_{AW}(X)$ of a separable metric space $X$ endowed with the Attouch-Wets topology is homeomorphic to a separable Hilbert space if and only if the completion of $X$ is…

We show that for any integers k and g, with g at least two, there are infinitely many closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds which are integral homology spheres with Casson invariant k, and Heegaard genus equal to g. This existence result is shown…

We classify the topological types for the unions of the totally geodesic 3-punctured spheres in orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds. General types of the unions appear in various hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Each of the special types of the unions…

Let $X, Y$ be separable metrizable spaces, where $X$ is noncompact and $Y$ is equipped with an admissible complete metric $d$. We show that the space $C(X,Y)$ of continuous maps from $X$ into $Y$ equipped with the uniform topology is…

We prove that under some assumptions on how points escape to infinity in the universal cover, homeomorphisms of hyperbolic 3-manifolds are forced to have several invariant sets (in particular, they cannot be minimal). For this, we use some…

A random group contains many subgroups which are isomorphic to the fundamental group of a compact hyperbolic 3-manifold with totally geodesic boundary. These subgroups can be taken to be quasi-isometrically embedded. This is true both in…

For each odd integer r greater than one and not divisible by three we give explicit examples of infinite families of simply and tangentially homotopy equivalent but pairwise non-homeomorphic closed homogeneous spaces with fundamental group…

We construct inhomogeneous isoparametric families of hypersurfaces with non-austere focal set on each symmetric space of non-compact type and rank greater than or equal to 3. If the rank is greater than or equal to 4, there are infinitely…

Let H be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, X a compact Hausdorff space and f : X \rightarrow X a homeomorphism which preserves a Borel ergodic measure which is positive on non-empty open sets. We prove that the non-uniformly…

We obtain new invariants of topological link concordance and homology cobordism of 3-manifolds from Hirzebruch-type intersection form defects of towers of iterated p-covers. Our invariants can extract geometric information from an arbitrary…
