A theory of finite type invariants for arbitrary compact oriented 3-manifolds is proposed, and illustrated through many examples arising from both classical and quantum topology. The theory is seen to be highly non-trivial even for…

We classify here combinatorially rigid simple polytopes with three facets more than their dimension.

The braid axis of a closed 3-braid lifts to a genus one fibered knot in the double cover of S^3 branched over the closed braid. Every (null homologous) genus one fibered knot in a 3-manifold may be obtained in this way. Using this…

The authors exhibit pairs of infinite-volume, hyperbolic three-manifolds that have the same scattering poles and conformally equivalent boundaries, but which are not isometric. The examples are constructed using Schottky groups and the…

We construct compact polyhedra with $m$-gonal faces whose links are generalized 3-gons. It gives examples of cocompact hyperbolic bildings of type $P(m,3)$. For $m=3$ we get compact spaces covered by Euclidean buildings of type $A_2$.

A K3 surface is a quaternionic analogue of an elliptic curve from a view point of moduli of vector bundles. We can prove the algebraicity of certain Hodge cycles and a rigidity of curve of genus eleven and gives two kind of descriptions of…

We study distance relations in various simplicial complexes associated with low-dimensional manifolds. In particular, complexes satisfying certain topological conditions with vertices as simple multi-curves. We obtain bounds on the…

We construct a compact formal 7-manifold with a closed $G_2$-structure and with first Betti number $b_1=1$, which does not admit any torsion-free $G_2$-structure, that is, it does not admit any $G_2$-structure such that the holonomy group…

In this paper we study handlebody versions of some classical diagram algebras, most prominently, handlebody versions of Temperley-Lieb, blob, Brauer, BMW, Hecke and Ariki-Koike algebras. Moreover, motivated by Green-Kazhdan-Lusztig's theory…

In this paper, we consider decompositions of closed orientable 3-manifolds with more than 3 handlebodies, where the union of intersections of handlebodies is a multibranched surface. We define stabilization operations for such…

Let M be a closed, connected, orientable 3-manifold. The purpose of this paper is to study the Seiberg-Witten Floer homology of M given that S^1 X M admits a symplectic form. In particular, we prove that M fibers over the circle if M has…

We investigate the class of $3$-decomposable genus two handlebody-knots and provide a complete classification of essential annuli in their exteriors. We introduce the notion of $\tau$- and $\rho$-tangles and good rectangles and annuli. By…

We consider braids on $m+n$ strands, such that the first $m$ strands are trivially fixed. We denote the set of all such braids by $B_{m,n}$. Via concatenation $B_{m,n}$ acquires a group structure. The objective of this paper is to find a…

Generalizing work of I. Baykur, K. Hayano, and N. Monden (arXiv:1903.02906), we construct infinite families of symplectic 4-dimensional manifolds, obtained as total spaces of Lefschetz pencils constructed by explicit monodromy…

We present a pair of smooth fiber bundles over the circle with a common $4$-dimensional fiber with the following properties: (1) their total spaces are diffeomorphic to each other; (2) they are isomorphic to each other as topological fiber…

We give an upper bound for the number of compact essential orientable non-isotopic surfaces, with Euler characteristic at least some constant $\chi$, properly embedded in a finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$, closed or cusped. This…

Fix a free, orientation-preserving action of a finite group G on a 3-dimensional handlebody V. Whenever G acts freely preserving orientation on a connected 3-manifold X, there is a G-equivariant imbedding of V into X. There are choices of X…

We prove that a closed arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold with positive first betti number has virtually infinite first betti number.

Given a compact oriented triangulated $3$-manifold we find a non-trivial condition satisfied by certain labelings of the tetrahedra by elements of an arbitrary abelian group which we call angle structures. Smoothness of the manifold is used…

We construct new examples of manifolds with cyclic-parallel Ricci tensor, so called A-manifolds, on a r-torus bundle over a product of almost Hodge A-manifolds.
