We define a link lattice complex for plumbed links, generalizing constructions of Ozsv\'ath, Stipsicz and Szab\'o, and of Gorsky and N\'emethi. We prove that for all plumbed links in rational homology 3-spheres, the link lattice complex is…

A Fox p-colored knot $K$ in $S^3$ gives rise to a $p$-fold branched cover $M$ of $S^3$ along $K$. The pre-image of the knot $K$ under the covering map is a $\dfrac{p+1}{2}$-component link $L$ in $M$, and the set of pairwise linking numbers…

In this paper, we study the first homology group of finite cyclic covering of complex line arrangement complement. We show that this first integral homology group is torsion-free under certain condition similar to the one used by…

We characterize the first Alexander Z[Z]-modules of ribbon surface-links in the 4-sphere fixing the number of components and the total genus, and then the first Alexander Z[Z]-modules of surface-links in the 4-sphere fixing the number of…

This paper presents an analysis of primitive permutation groups of degree $3p$, where $p$ is a prime number, analogous to H. Wielandt's treatment of groups of degree $2p$. It is also intended as an example of the systematic use of…

We sharpen earlier work on the pro-$p$ completions of orientable $PD_3$-groups. There are four cases, and we give examples of aspherical 3-manifolds representing each case. In three of the four cases the new results are best possible. We…

Let $p\geq 3$ be a prime number and $F$ a $p$-adic field. Let $I_1$ denote the pro-$p$-Iwahori subgroup of $\textrm{GL}_n(F)$, and $\mathcal{H}$ the pro-$p$-Iwahori--Hecke algebra of $\textrm{GL}_n(F)$ with respect to $I_1$ (over a…

Let G be a finite group and p a prime dividing its order. We define new collections of p-subgroups of G. We study the homotopy relations among them and with the standard collections of p-subgroups. We determine their ampleness and sharpness…

In this paper, we study hyperbolic cycles in the first homology group with local coefficients of congruence subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. We prove that, for any prime number $p$, the $p$-ordinary part of the first homology group…

The homology cobordism group of homology cylinders is a generalization of both the mapping class group of surfaces and the string link concordance group. We consider extensions of Johnson homomorphisms of a mapping class group, Milnor…

Fixing two concordant links in $3$--space, we study the set of all embedded concordances between them, as knotted annuli in $4$--space. When regarded up to surface-concordance or link-homotopy, the set $\mathcal{C}(L)$ of concordances from…

We determine the integral cohomology rings of an infinite family of p-groups, for odd primes p, with cyclic derived subgroups. Our method involves embedding the groups in a compact Lie group of dimension one, and was suggested by P H…

We obtain new invariants of topological link concordance and homology cobordism of 3-manifolds from Hirzebruch-type intersection form defects of towers of iterated p-covers. Our invariants can extract geometric information from an arbitrary…

Recently, Mullins calculated the Casson-Walker invariant of the 2-fold cyclic branched cover of an oriented link in S^3 in terms of its Jones polynomial and its signature, under the assumption that the 2-fold branched cover is a rational…

We construct a 2-variable link polynomial, called $W_L$, for classical links by considering simultaneously the Kauffman state models for the Alexander and for the Jones polynomials. We conjecture that this polynomial is the product of two…

We prove that if the order of the first homology of the 2-fold branched cover of a knot K in the 3-sphere is given by pm where p is a prime congruent to 3 mod 4 and gcd(p,m) =1, then K is of infinite order in the knot concordance group.…

Studies the cohomology of p-central, powerful, p-groups with a certain extension property. These groups are naturally associated to Lie algebras. The paper develops a machinery that calculates the first few terms of the Bockstein spectral…

For any prime $p$ and group $G$, denote the pro-$p$ completion of $G$ by $\hat{G}^p$. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the class of all groups $G$ such that, for each natural number $n$ and prime number $p$, $H^n(\hat{G^p},\mathbb Z/p)\cong H^n(G,…

Let O be a compact orientable 3-orbifold with non-empty singular locus and a finite volume hyperbolic structure. (Equivalently, O is the quotient of hyperbolic 3-space by a lattice in PSL(2,C) with torsion.) Then we prove that O has a tower…

We introduce and study the notion of filling links in 3-manifolds: a link L is filling in M if for any 1-spine G of M which is disjoint from L, $\pi_1(G)$ injects into $\pi_1(M\smallsetminus L)$. A weaker "k-filling" version concerns…
