For a hyperbolic fibered 3-manifold M, we prove results that uniformly relate the structure of surface projections as one varies the fibrations of M. This extends our previous work from the fully-punctured to the general case.

We prove that the map on knot Floer homology induced by a strongly homotopy-ribbon concordance is injective.

This note is mostly an expository survey, centered on the topology of complements of hyperplane arrangements, their Milnor fibrations, and their boundary structures. An important tool in this study is provided by the degree 1 resonance and…

Using the wrapped Floer homology, we prove the existence of consecutive collisions at the primaries in the circular restricted three-body problem. We also prove the existence of a symmetric periodic orbit. These existence results are…

Similar to knots in S^3, any knot in a lens space has a grid diagram from which one can combinatorially compute all of its knot Floer homology invariants. We give an explicit description of the generators, differentials, and rational Maslov…

Using a Heegaard diagram for the pullback of a knot $K \subset S^3$ in its cyclic double branched cover $\Sigma_2(K)$, we give a combinatorial proof for the invariance of knot Floer homology over $\mathbb{Z}$.

It is shown that if a link in 3-space bounds a proper oriented surface (without closed component) in the upper half 4-space, then the link bounds a proper oriented ribbon surface in the upper half 4-space which is a renewal embedding of the…

We show that a regular isomorphism of profinite completion of the fundamental groups of two 3-manifolds $N_1$ and $N_2$ induces an isometry of the Thurston norms and a bijection between the fibered classes. We study to what extent does the…

In this paper, we conjecture a connection between the $A$-polynomial of a knot in $\mathbb{S}^{3}$ and the hyperbolic volume of its exterior $\mathcal{M}_{K}$ : the knots with zero hyperbolic volume are exactly the knots with an…

We present knot primality tests that are built from knot Floer homology. The most basic of these is a simply stated and elementary consequence of Heegaard Floer theory: if the two-variable knot Floer polynomial of a knot K is irreducible,…

We apply the conormal construction to a hyperbolic knot $K \subset S^3$, and study the sutured contact manifold $(V, \xi)$ obtained by taking the complement of a standard neighbourhood of the unit conormal $\La_K \subset (ST^*S^3,…

In this paper we prove that a wild knot $K$ which is the limit set of a Kleinian group acting conformally on the unit 3-sphere, with its standard metric, is homogeneous: given two points $p, q\in{K}$ there exists a homeomorphism $f$ of the…

A ribbon is, intuitively, a smooth mapping of an annulus $S^1 \times I$ in 3-space having constant width $\varepsilon$. This can be formalized as a triple $(x,\varepsilon, \mathbf{u})$ where $x$ is smooth curve in 3-space and $\mathbf{u}$…

We prove that if a fibered knot $K$ with genus greater than one in a three-manifold $M$ has a sufficiently complicated monodromy, then $K$ induces a minimal genus Heegaard splitting $P$ that is unique up to isotopy, and small genus Heegaard…

The following inequalities are established, improving a former inequality due to Kojima. For any closed arithmetic hyperbolic $3$--manifold fibering over a circle, the entropy of the pseudo-Anosov monodromy is bounded by the hyperbolic…

We develop purely algebraic methods for proving that a knot is prime. Our approach uses the Heegaard Floer polynomial in conjunction with classical knot-theoretic methods: cyclic, dihedral, and metacyclic covering spaces. The theory of…

Let $K$ denote a knot inside the homology sphere $Y$. The zero-framed longitude of $K$ gives the complement of $K$ in $Y$ the structure of a bordered three-manifold, which may be denoted by $Y(K)$. We compute the quasi-isomorphism type of…

Auckly gave two examples of irreducible integer homology spheres (one toroidal and one hyperbolic) which are not surgery on a knot in the three-sphere. Using Heegaard Floer homology, the authors and Karakurt provided infinitely many small…

It is experimentally known that achiral hyperbolic 3-manifolds are quite sporadic at least among those with small volume, while we can find plenty of them as amphicheiral knot complements in the 3-sphere. In this paper, we show that there…

We prove that every finite group is the orientation-preserving isometry group of the complement of a hyperbolic link in the 3-sphere.
