Let M be an orientable, cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume. We show that the restriction map from a Dehn surgery component in the PSL(2,C)-character variety of M to the character variety of the boundary of M is a birational…

We discuss here a generalization of a theorem by Dunfield stating that the peripheral holonomy map, from the character variety of a 3-manifold to the A-polynomial is birational. Dunfield's proof involves the rigidity of maximal volume. The…

The conformal boundary of a hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ is a union of Riemann surfaces. If any of these Riemann surfaces has a nontrivial Teichm\"uller space, then the hyperbolic metric of $M$ can be deformed quasi-isometrically. These…

We present examples of hyperbolizable 3-manifolds $M$ with the following property. Let $CC(\pi_1(M))$ denote the space of convex co-compact representations of $\pi_1(M)$. We show that for every $K\geq 1$ there exists a representation $\rho$…

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We shall give a detailed classification up to baskets of singularities on a minimal model of $V$. We show that the $m$-canonical map of $V$ is birational for all $m\geq 73$…

We prove a global local rigidity result for character varieties of 3-manifolds into $\rm{SL}_2$. Given a 3-manifold with toric boundary $M$ satisfying some technical hypotheses, we prove that all but a finite number of its Dehn fillings…

Krasnov (arXiv: hep-th/0005106) identified the renormalized volume of a Schottky 3-manifold with the action of the Liouville theory on the conformal infiinity. We try to compute the renormalized volume in terms of more transparent geometric…

A representation of a finitely generated group into the projective general linear group is called convex co-compact if it has finite kernel and its image acts convex co-compactly on a properly convex domain in real projective space. We…

Following Bayer and Macr\`{i}, we study the birational geometry of singular moduli spaces $M$ of sheaves on a K3 surface $X$ which admit symplectic resolutions. More precisely, we use the Bayer-Macr\`{i} map from the space of Bridgeland…

We show that a compact K\"ahler manifold bimeromorphic to a weakly K\"ahler hyperbolic manifold is weakly K\"ahler hyperbolic, providing an answer to a problem raised by J. Koll\'ar in his 1995 book "Shafarevic maps and automorphic forms"

We consider varieties of representations and characters of 2 and 3-dimensional orbifolds in semisimple Lie groups, and we focus on computing their dimension. For hyperbolic 3-orbifolds, we consider the component of the variety of characters…

For a compact 3-manifold M with arbitrary (possibly empty) boundary, we give a parametrization of the set of conjugacy classes of boundary-unipotent representations of the fundamental group of M into SL(n,C). Our parametrization uses…

Let M be a compact, orientable, hyperbolizable 3-manifold with incompressible boundary which is not an interval bundle. We study the dynamics of the action of the outer automorphism group of the fundamental group of M on the relative…

Let W be a compact manifold and let \rho be a representation of its fundamental group into PSL(2,C). The volume of \rho is defined by taking any \rho-equivariant map from the universal cover of W to H^3 and then by integrating the pull-back…

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We prove $P_{12}(V)>0$ and $P_{24}(V)>1$ (which answers an open problem of J. Kollar and S. Mori). We also prove that the canonical volume has an universal lower bound…

This is a survey on Reidemeister torsion for hyperbolic three-manifolds of finite volume. Torsions are viewed as topological invariants and also as functions on the variety of representations in $\operatorname{ SL}_2(\mathbb C)$. In both…

For an integer $m\geq 1$, a combinatorial manifold $\widetilde{M}$ is defined to be a geometrical object $\widetilde{M}$ such that for $\forall p\in\widetilde{M}$, there is a local chart $(U_p,\phi_p)$ enable $\phi_p:U_p\to…

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We prove $P_{12}(V):=\text{dim} H^0(V, 12K_V)>0$ and $P_{m_0}(V)>1$ for some positive integer $m_0\leq 24$. A direct consequence is the birationality of the pluricanonical…
