We show that every hyperbolic link complement contains closed quasi-Fuchsian surfaces. As a consequence, we obtain the result that on a hyperbolic link complement, if we remove from each cusp of the manifold a certain finite set of slopes,…

We study how the cohomology of a type $F_\infty$ relatively hyperbolic group pair $(G,\mathcal{P})$ changes under Dehn fillings (i.e. quotients of group pairs). For sufficiently long Dehn fillings where the quotient pair…

We show that any group that is hyperbolic relative to virtually nilpotent subgroups, and does not admit peripheral splittings, contains a quasi-isometrically embedded copy of the hyperbolic plane. In natural situations, the specific…

We show that there are at most finitely many one cusped orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds which have more than eight non-hyperbolic Dehn fillings. Moreover, we show that determining these finitely many manifolds is decidable.

We prove an explicit, quantitative criterion that ensures the Heegaard surfaces in Dehn fillings behave "as expected." Given a cusped hyperbolic manifold X, and a Dehn filling whose meridian and longitude curves are longer than 2pi(2g-1),…

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…

Consider the following classes of pairs consisting of a group and a finite collection of subgroups: $\mathcal{C}= \left\{ (G,\mathcal H) \mid \text{$\mathcal{H}$ is hyperbolically embedded in $G$} \right\}$ and $ \mathcal{D}= \left\{…

We show the existence of tight contact structures on infinitely many hyperbolic three-manifolds obtained via Dehn surgeries along sections of hyperbolic surface bundles over circle.

If a hyperbolic 3-manifold admits an exceptional Dehn filling, then the length of the slope of that Dehn filling is known to be at most six. However, the bound of six appears to be sharp only in the toroidal case. In this paper, we…

In this paper, we prove a combination theorem for a relatively acylindrical graph of relatively hyperbolic groups (Theorem 1.1). Here, we are extending the technique of [Tom21] and constructing Bowditch boundary of the fundamental group of…

In this note we use Yaman's dynamical characterization of relative hyperbolicity to prove a theorem of Bowditch about relatively hyperbolic pairs $(G,\mathcal{H})$ with $G$ hyperbolic. Our proof additionally gives a description of the…

Let $K$ be a nontrivial knot in $S^3$. We say that an element of the knot group $G(K)$ is \textit{persistent} if it remains nontrivial under all nontrivial Dehn fillings. Such elements exist for every nontrivial knot. Indeed, Property P is…

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…

We show that a finite collection of stable subgroups of a finitely generated group has finite height, finite width and bounded packing. We then use knowledge about intersections of conjugates to characterize finite families of…

We investigate relation between Dehn fillings and commensurability of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. The set consisting of the commensurability classes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds admits the quotient topology induced by the geometric topology. We…

Let $M$ be a simple 3-manifold with a toral boundary component. It is known that if two Dehn fillings on $M$ along the boundary produce a reducible manifold and a toroidal manifold, then the distance between the filling slopes is at most…

Given two Lagrangian spheres in an exact symplectic manifold, we find conditions under which the Dehn twists about them generate a free non-abelian subgroup of the symplectic mapping class group. This extends a result of Ishida for Riemann…

If a hyperbolic 3-manifold M admits a reducible and a finite Dehn filling, the distance between the filling slopes is known to be 1. This has been proved recently by Boyer, Gordon and Zhang. The first example of a manifold with two such…
