We prove foundational results about the set of homomorphisms from a finitely generated group to the collection of all fundamental groups of compact 3-manifolds and answer questions of Reid-Wang-Zhou and Agol-Liu.

In this paper, we give a Simons' type formula for the cmc surfaces in homogeneous $3$-manifolds $E(\kappa,\tau)$, $\tau\neq0$. As an application, we give a rigidity result in the case of $\kappa> 4\tau^2$ for the cmc surfaces under a…

The Manin conjecture is established for a split singular cubic surface in P^3, with singularity type D_5.

This is a first in a series of papers, devoted to the relation betwwen three-manifolds and number fields. The present paper studies first homology of finite coverings of a three-manifold with primary interest in the Thurston $b_1$…

We prove an elementary lemma concerning primitive amalgams and use it to greatly simplify the proof of the Sims conjecture in the case of almost simple groups.

We compute by a different method the generating series in Shimura's conjecture for Sp3, proved by Andrianov in 1967. We develop formulas for the Satake spherical maps for Sp_n and Gl_n.

We define an invariant, which we call surface-complexity, of compact 3-manifolds by means of Dehn surfaces. The surface-complexity is a natural number measuring how much the manifold is complicated. We prove that it fulfils interesting…

In this short note we update a result proved in [16]. This will complete our program of [12] showing that the structure set vanishes for compact aspherical 3-manifolds.

We prove an a priori estimate of type sup*inf on Riemannian manifold of dimension 3 (not necessarily compact).

We present a new proof of Witten's conjecture. The proof is based on the analysis of the relationship between intersection indices on moduli spaces of complex curves and Hurwitz numbers enumerating ramified coverings of the 2-sphere.

In this paper we prove an area comparison result for certain totally geodesic surfaces in 3-manifolds with a lower bound on the scalar curvature. This result is a variant of a comparison theorem of Heintze-Karcher for minimal hypersurfaces…

We study the set ${\rm vol}\left(M,G\right)$ of volumes of all representations $\rho\co\pi_1M\to G$, where $M$ is a closed oriented $3$-manifold and $G$ is either ${\rm Iso}_+{\Hi}^3$ or ${\rm Iso}_e\t{\rm SL_2(\R)}$. By various methods,…

We prove a variant of Manin's conjecture for Campana points on wonderful compactifications of semi-simple algebraic groups of adjoint type. We use this to provide evidence for a new conjecture on the leading constant in Manin's conjecture…

In this paper, we proved that any closed orientable 3-manifold 1-dominates at most finitely many geometric 3-manifolds.

We confirm a conjecture of Sun on the expansions of $n(m^k-1)/(m-1)$ in base $m$.

We present two proofs that all closed, orientable 3-manifolds are parallelisable. Both are based on the Lickorish-Wallace surgery presentation; one proof uses a refinement due to Kaplan and some basic contact geometry. This complements a…

For closed oriented manifolds, we establish oriented homotopy invariance of higher signatures that come from the fundamental group of a large class of orientable 3-manifolds, including the ``piecewise geometric'' ones in the sense of…

This article contains a proof of the fact that, under certain mild technical conditions, the action of the automorphism group of a cyclic 3-manifold cover of the type SxR, where S is a compact surface, yields a compact quotient. This result…

This note gives a new elementary proof of Poincar\'e-Miranda theorem based on Sard's theorem and the simple classification of one-dimensional manifolds.

A famous example of Casson and Gordon shows that a Haken 3-manifold can have an infinite family of irreducible Heegaard splittings with different genera. In this paper, we prove that a closed non-Haken 3-manifold has only finitely many…
