A 3-manifold is Haken if it contains a topologically essential surface. The Virtual Haken Conjecture says that every irreducible 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group has a finite cover which is Haken. Here, we discuss two interrelated…
Let $M$ be a $2$-cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifold. By the work of Thurston, the product of the derivatives of the holonomies of core geodesics of each Dehn filling of $M$ is an invariant of it. In this paper, we classify Dehn fillings of $M$…
We investigate relation between Dehn fillings and commensurability of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. The set consisting of the commensurability classes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds admits the quotient topology induced by the geometric topology. We…
We use model theory to study relative profinite rigidity of $3$-manifold groups and show that given any residually finite group $\Gamma$ with finite character variety and single-cusped finite volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$, cofinitely…
Every cusped, finite-volume hyperbolic three-manifold has a canonical decomposition into ideal polyhedra. We study the canonical decomposition of the hyperbolic manifold obtained by filling some (but not all) of the cusps with solid tori:…
This is a first in a series of papers, devoted to the relation betwwen three-manifolds and number fields. The present paper studies first homology of finite coverings of a three-manifold with primary interest in the Thurston $b_1$…
We use Heegaard splittings to give some examples of virtually Haken 3-manifolds.
We show that if a hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with a single torus boundary admits two Dehn fillings at distance 5, each of which contains an essential torus, then $M$ is a rational homology solid torus, which is not large in the sense of Wu.…
We study random elements of subgroups (and cosets) of the mapping class group of a closed hyperbolic surface, in part through the properties of their mapping tori. In particular, we study the distribution of the homology of the mapping…
We establish a bijective correspondence between the set T(n) of 3-dimensional triangulations with n tetrahedra and a certain class H(n) of relative handlebodies (i.e. handlebodies with boundary loops, as defined by Johannson) of genus n+1.…
This paper is subsequent to [5]. In this paper, we extend the classification of hyperbolic Dehn fillings with sufficiently large coefficients by addressing the remaining case not covered in [5]. Specifically, by considering the case in…
We prove that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a finite cover admitting infinitely many geometric ideal triangulations. Furthermore, every long Dehn filling of one cusp in this cover admits infinitely many geometric ideal…
The set of canonical decompositions of a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold is a complete topological invariant. However, there are only a handful of infinite families for which canonical decompositions are known. In this paper, we find canonical…
We give three infinite families of examples of nonhyperbolic Dehn fillings on hyperbolic manifolds. A manifold in the first family admits two Dehn fillings of distance two apart, one of which is toroidal and annular, and the other is…
We describe a class $\mathcal{C}$ of punctured torus bundles such that, for each $M \in \mathcal{C}$, all but finitely many Dehn fillings on $M$ are virtually Haken. We show that $\mathcal{C}$ contains infinitely many commensurability…
Dehn fillings for relatively hyperbolic groups generalize the topological Dehn surgery on a non-compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold such as a hyperbolic knot complement. We prove a rigidity result saying that if two non-elementary relatively…
Let $M$ be a once-punctured torus bundle over $S^1$ with monodromy $h$. We show that, under certain hypotheses on $h$, "most" Dehn-fillings of $M$ (in some cases all but finitely many) are virtually $\mathbb{Z}$-representable. We apply our…
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…
This paper presents, with explanatory details, the handle decompositions, fundamental groups and homology groups of 3-manifolds, including some knot complements. Hence, along this paper, when the word manifold appears it is implicit that…
We show that there are at most finitely many one cusped orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds which have more than eight non-hyperbolic Dehn fillings. Moreover, we show that determining these finitely many manifolds is decidable.
