It is well-known that complex hyperbolic triangle groups $\Delta(3,3,4)$ generated by three complex reflections $I_1,I_2,I_3$ in $\mbox{PU(2,1)}$ has 1-dimensional moduli space. Deforming the representations from the classical…

We show the 3-manifold at infinity of the complex hyperbolic triangle group $\Delta_{3,\infty,\infty;\infty}$ is the three-cusped "magic" 3-manifold $6_1^3$. We also show the 3-manifold at infinity of the complex hyperbolic triangle group…

Let $\langle I_{1}, I_{2}, I_{3}\rangle$ be the complex hyperbolic $(4,4,\infty)$ triangle group. In this paper we give a proof of a conjecture of Schwartz for $\langle I_{1}, I_{2}, I_{3}\rangle$. That is $\langle I_{1}, I_{2},…

A finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold geometrically bounds if it is the geodesic boundary of a finite-volume hyperbolic 4-manifold. We construct here an example of non-compact, finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold that geometrically bounds.…

We initiate the study of deformations of groups in three-dimensional complex hyperbolic geometry. Let $$G=\left\langle \iota_1, \iota_2, \iota_3, \iota_4 \Bigg| \begin{array}{c} \iota_1^2= \iota_2^2 = \iota_3^2=\iota_4^2=id,\\ (\iota_1…

We show the manifolds at infinity of the complex hyperbolic triangle groups $\Delta_{3,4,4;\infty}$ and $\Delta_{3,4,6;\infty}$,are one-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds $m038$ and $s090$ in the Snappy Census respectively.That is,these two…

We construct compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds with totally geodesic boundary, such that the closed 3-pseudomanifolds obtained by coning off the boundary components are negatively curved and contain locally convex subspaces whose fundamental…

In a series of papers A.D.Mednykn and A.Yu.Vesnin introduced a construction that for a given right-angled polytope $P$ in geometry $\mathbb L^3$, $\mathbb R^3$, $\mathbb S^3$, $\mathbb L^2\times \mathbb R$, $\mathbb S^2\times \mathbb R$ and…

The theory of complex hyperbolic discrete groups is still in its childhood but promises to grow into a rich subfield of geometry. In this paper I will discuss some recent progress that has been made on complex hyperbolic deformations of the…

Using Kirchberg-Phillips' classification of purely infinite C*-algebras by K-theory, we prove that the isomorphism types of crossed product C*-algebras associated to certain hyperbolic 3-manifold groups acting on their Gromov boundary only…

We prove the convex combination theorem for hyperbolic n-manifolds. Applications are given both in high dimensions and in 3 dimensions. One consequence is that given two geometrically finite subgroups of a discrete group of isometries of…

We identify the finitely many arithmetic lattices $\Gamma$ in the orientation preserving isometry group of hyperbolic $3$-space $\mathbb{H}^3$ generated by an element of order $4$ and and element of order $p\geq 2$. Thus $\Gamma$ has a…

Let $$G_{6,3}=\langle a_0, \cdots, a_5| a_{i}^{3}=id, a_{i} a_{i+1}= a_{i+1} a_{i}, i \in \mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z}\rangle$$ be a hyperbolic group with boundary the Menger curve. J. Granier \cite{Granier} constructed a discrete, convex…

We use our new type of bounded locally homeomorphic quasiregular mappings in the unit 3-ball to address long standing problems for such mappings. The construction of such mappings comes from our construction of non-trivial compact…

The main result of this paper is that any $3$-dimensional manifold with a finite group action is equivariantly, invertibly homology cobordant to a hyperbolic manifold; this result holds with suitable twisted coefficients as well. The…

Let $M_0$ be a compact and orientable 3-manifold. After capping off spherical boundaries with balls and removing any torus boundaries, we prove that the resulting manifold $M$ contains handlebodies of arbitrary genus such that the closure…

This paper considers "geometric" ideal triangulations of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds, i.e. decompositions into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra. We exhibit infinitely many geometric ideal triangulations of the figure eight knot…

We show that a relatively hyperbolic group quasi-isometrically embeds in a product of finitely many trees if the peripheral subgroups do, and we provide an estimate on the minimal number of trees needed. Applying our result to the case of…

Using the quaternionic formalism for the description of the group of isometries of hyperbolic $5$-space we consider arithmetically defined $5$-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds which are non-compact but of finite volume. They arise from…
