Quasifuchsian hyperbolic manifolds, or more generally convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds, have infinite volume, but they have a well-defined ``renormalized'' volume. We outline some relations between this renormalized volume and the…

We construct infinitely many noncommensurable non-cocompact Fuchsian groups $\Delta$ of finite covolume sitting in PSL(2,Q) so that the set of hyperbolic fixed points of $\Delta$ will contain a given finite collection of elements in the…

Let X be a simply connected compact Riemannian symmetric space, let U be the universal covering group of the identity component of the isometry group of X, and let \g denote the complexification of the Lie algebra of U, \g=\u^\C. Each…

This article was born as a generalisation of the analysis made by Series, where she made the first attempt to plot a deformation space of Kleinian group of more than 1 complex dimension. We use the Top Terms' Relationship proved by the…

We prove that any two finite-area non-compact hyperbolic Riemann surfaces S and T have finite covers that are arbitrarily close in the normalized Weil-Petersson metric, where we normalize by dividing the square of the metric by the area of…

We prove multiple generalizations of Fan's combinatorial labeling result for sphere triangulations. This can be seen as a comprehensive extension of the Borsuk--Ulam theorem. In typical applications, the Borsuk--Ulam theorem gives…

This paper is a companion to the authors' forthcoming work extending Heegaard Floer theory from closed 3-manifolds to compact 3-manifolds with two boundary components via quilted Floer cohomology. We describe the first interesting case of…

In this paper we show that a split central simple algebra with quadratic pair which decomposes into a tensor product of quaternion algebras with involution and a quaternion algebra with quadratic pair is adjoint to a quadratic Pfister form.…

We prove a categorical version of the Torelli theorem for cubic threefolds. More precisely, we show that the non-trivial part of a semi-orthogonal decomposition of the derived category of a cubic threefold characterizes its isomorphism…

We show that for every injective continuous map f: S^2 --> R^3 there are four distinct points in the image of f such that the convex hull is a tetrahedron with the property that two opposite edges have the same length and the other four…

Fuzzy tori are finite dimensional C*-algebras endowed with an appropriate notion of noncommutative geometry inherited from an ergodic action of a finite closed subgroup of the torus, which are meant as finite dimensional approximations of…

We extend the canonical cell decomposition due to Epstein and Penner of a hyperbolic manifold with cusps to the strictly convex setting. It follows that a sufficiently small deformation of the holonomy of a finite volume strictly convex…

Given an ample action of an inverse semigroup on a locally compact and Hausdorff topological space, we study the ideal structure of the crossed product algebra associated with it. By developing a theory of induced ideals, we manage to prove…

We construct the first examples of finitely presented groups with cubic Dehn function containing a finitely generated infinite torsion subgroup. Moreover, we show that any infinite free Burnside group with sufficiently large odd exponent…

Let $\mathcal{W}^{n}$ be the class of $C^{\infty }$ complete simply connected $n-$dimensional manifolds without conjugate points. The hyperbolic space as well as Euclidean space are good examples of such manifolds. Let $% W\in…

We give counterexamples to a question of Bowditch that if a non-elementary type-preserving representation $\rho:\pi_1(\Sigma_{g,n})\rightarrow PSL(2;\mathbb R)$ of a punctured surface group sends every non-peripheral simple closed curve to…

Previous work of the authors with Bus Jaco determined a lower bound on the complexity of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds and showed that it is attained by the monodromy ideal triangulations of once-punctured torus bundles. This paper exhibits…

Previous work of the authors studies minimal triangulations of closed 3-manifolds using a characterisation of low degree edges, embedded layered solid torus subcomplexes and 1-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$-cohomology. The underlying blueprint…

We describe the algebraic ingredients of a proof of the conjecture of Frenkel and Ip that the category of positive representations $\mathcal{P}_\lambda$ of the quantum group $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1})$ is closed under tensor products. Our…

Given a generic totally real torus unknotted in the unit sphere of the complex plane, we prove the following alternative : either there exists a filling of the torus by holomorphic discs and the torus is rationally convex, or its rational…
