We automate the process of machine learning correlations between knot invariants. For nearly 200,000 distinct sets of input knot invariants together with an output invariant, we attempt to learn the output invariant by training a neural…
We obtain an exact modularity relation for the $q$-Pochhammer symbol. Using this formula, we show that Zagier's modularity conjecture for a knot $K$ essentially reduces to the arithmeticity conjecture for $K$. In particular, we show that…
This book is a detailed introduction to the theory of finite type (Vassiliev) knot invariants, with a stress on its combinatorial aspects. It is intended to serve both as a textbook for readers with no or little background in this area, and…
Every oriented closed geodesic on the modular surface has a canonically associated knot in its unit tangent bundle coming from the periodic orbit of the geodesic flow. We study the volume of the associated knot complement with respect to…
The composition of any two nontrivial classical knots is a satellite knot, and thus, by work of Thurston, is not hyperbolic. In this paper, we explore the composition of virtual knots, which are an extension of classical knots that…
The dynamics of many important high-dimensional dynamical systems are both chaotic and complex, meaning that strong reducing hypotheses are required to understand the dynamics. The highly influential chaotic hypothesis of Gallavotti and…
We conjecture an upper bound on the growth of the Yokota invariant of polyhedral graphs, extending a previous result on the growth of the $6j$-symbol. Using Barrett's Fourier transform we are able to prove this conjecture in a large family…
We show that the volumes of certain hyperbolic A-adequate links can be bounded (above and) below in terms of two diagrammatic quantities: the twist number and the number of certain alternating tangles in an A-adequate diagram. We then…
In this paper we present a proof of the Verjovsky conjecture: Every codimension-one Anosov flow on a manifold of dimension greater than three is topologically equivalent to the suspension of a hyperbolic toral automorphism. In fact, the…
We discuss a matrix of periodic holomorphic functions in the upper and lower half-plane which can be obtained from a factorization of an Andersen-Kashaev state integral of a knot complement with remarkable analytic and asymptotic properties…
If a hyperbolic link has a prime alternating diagram D, then we show that the link complement's volume can be estimated directly from D. We define a very elementary invariant of the diagram D, its twist number t(D), and show that the volume…
We introduce the concepts of an amazing hypercube decomposition and a double shortcut for it, and use these new ideas to formulate a conjecture implying the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture of the Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials for the…
In this note, we estimate the upper bound of volume of closed positively or nonnegatively curved Alexandrov space $X$ with strictly convex boundary. We also discuss the equality case. In particular, the Boundary Conjecture holds when the…
We develop an extension of the fast method of angles for hyperbolicity verification in chaotic systems with an arbitrary number of time-delay feedback loops. The adopted method is based on the theory of covariant Lyapunov vectors and…
We provide an upper bound on the Cheeger constant and first eigenvalue of the Laplacian of a finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M, in terms of data from any surgery diagram for M. This has several consequences. We prove that a family of…
We prove that for hyperbolic fibered knots in any closed, connected, oriented 3-manifold the volume and genus are unrelated. As an application we answer a question of Hirose, Kalfagianni, and Kin about volumes of mapping tori that are…
The aim of this work is to prove a conjecture related to the Combinatorial Invariance Conjecture of Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, in the parabolic setting, for lower intervals in every arbitrary Coxeter group. This result improves and…
Given any knot k, there exists a hyperbolic knot tilde k with arbitrarily large volume such that the knot group pi k is a quotient of pi tilde k by a map that sends meridian to meridian and longitude to longitude. The knot tilde k can be…
We prove that for particular infinite families of $L$-spaces, arising as branched double covers, the $d$-invariants defined by Ozsv\'ath and Szab\'o are arbitrarily large and small. As a consequence, we generalise a result by Greene and…
We show the $n$ colored Jones polynomials of a highly twisted link approach the Kauffman bracket of an $n$ colored skein element. This is in the sense that the corresponding categorifications of the colored Jones polynomials approach the…
