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 count the number of conjugacy classes of maximal, genus g, surface subroups in hyperbolic 3-manifold groups. For any closed hyperbolic 3-manifold, we show that there is an upper bound on this number which grows factorially with g. We…
In this paper we develop a new theory of infinitesimal harmonic deformations for compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds with ``tubular boundary''. In particular, this applies to complements of tubes of radius at least $R_0 = \arctanh(1/\sqrt{3})…
In this paper, we give a method to construct holonomy matrices of hyperbolic 3-manifolds by extending the known method of hyperbolic 2-manifolds. It enables us to consider hyperbolic 3-manifolds with nontrivial holonomies. We apply our…
In this paper we provide the first examples of arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds that are rational homology spheres and bound geometrically either compact or cusped hyperbolic 4-manifolds.
We consider a compact hyperbolic antiprism. It is a convex polyhedron with $2n$ vertices in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. This polyhedron has a symmetry group $S_{2n}$ generated by a mirror-rotational symmetry of order $2n$, i.e.…
We show that the conjectural cusped complex hyperbolic 2-orbifolds of minimal volume are the two smallest arithmetic complex hyperbolic 2-orbifolds. We then show that every arithmetic cusped complex hyperbolic 2-manifold of minimal volume…
In this paper, we prove that profinitely rigid finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds form a closed set under geometric topology. This observation implies the profinite rigidity of a large family of cusped hyperbolic manifolds via…
Let $M$ be a closed $n$-manifold with nonzero simplicial volume. A central result in systolic geometry from Gromov is that systolic volume of $M$ is related to its simplicial volume. In this short note, we show that systolic volume of…
We introduce a notion of relative isospectrality for surfaces with boundary having possibly non-compact ends either conformally compact or asymptotic to cusps. We obtain a compactness result for such families via a conformal surgery that…
We give an expository account of our proof that each cusp-free hyperbolic 3-manifold M with finitely generated fundamental group and incompressible ends is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
The study of rod complements is motivated by rod packing structures in crystallography. We view them as complements of links comprised of Euclidean geodesics in the 3-torus. Recent work of the second author classifies when such rod…
By means of toric geometry we study hypersurfaces in weighted projective space of dimension four. In particular we compute for a given manifold its intrinsic topological coupling. We find that the result agrees with the calculation of the…
We investigate topology changing processes in the WKB approximation of four dimensional quantum cosmology with a negative cosmological constant. As Riemannian manifolds which describe quantum tunnelings of spacetime we consider constant…
For a closed, strictly convex projective manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ that admits a hyperbolic structure, we show that the ratio of Hilbert volume to hyperbolic volume is bounded below by a constant that depends only on dimension. We…
We will provide bounds on both the Betti numbers and the torsion part of the homology of hyperbolic orbifolds. These bounds are linear in the volume and are a direct consequence of an efficient simplicial model of the thick part, which we…
See math.CV/0509030 which replaces this paper.
We introduce a new tiling algorithm for hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We use it to compute the maximal cusp area matrix; this completely characterizes the space of all embedded and disjoint cusp neighborhoods. As another application of our work,…
In this survey we discuss how geometric methods can be used to study topological properties of 3-manifolds such as their Heegaard genus or the rank of their fundamental group. On the other hand, we also discuss briefly some results relating…
Given a hyperbolic 3-manifold with torus boundary, we bound the change in volume under a Dehn filling where all slopes have length at least 2\pi. This result is applied to give explicit diagrammatic bounds on the volumes of many knots and…
