We prove that if the fundamental group of an orientable finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold has finite index in the reflection group of a right-angled ideal polyhedra in $\mathbb{H}^3$ then it has a co-final tower of finite sheeted covers…

We consider hyperbolic structures on the compression body C with genus 2 positive boundary and genus 1 negative boundary. Note that C deformation retracts to the union of the torus boundary and a single arc with its endpoints on the torus.…

To an $r$-dimensional subshift of finite type satisfying certain special properties we associate a $C^*$-algebra $\cA$. This algebra is a higher rank version of a Cuntz-Krieger algebra. In particular, it is simple, purely infinite and…

Let c be a real parameter in the Mandelbrot set, and f_c(z):= z^2 + c. We prove a formula relating the topological entropy of f_c to the Hausdorff dimension of the set of rays landing on the real Julia set, and to the Hausdorff dimension of…

The topological classification of gerbes, as principal bundles with the structure group the projective unitary group of a complex Hilbert space, over a topological space $H$ is given by the third cohomology $\text{H}^3(H, \Bbb Z)$. When $H$…

We are interested in a class of groups, quasi-Frobenius groups (with involutions), whose internal structure generalizes that of the classical groups GA1(C), PGL 2(C) and SO3(R) : a subgroup and its conjugates, of finite index in their…

We use geometric and cohomological methods to show that given a degree bound for membership in ideals of a fixed degree type in the polynomial ring P=k[x_0,..., x_d], one obtains a good generic degree bound for membership in the tight…

We clarify quasi-Frobenius configurations of finite Morley rank. 1. We remove one assumption in an identification theorem by Zamour while simplifying the proof. 2. We show that a strongly embedded quasi-Frobenius configuration of odd type,…

In this survey, we present most recent highlights from the study of the homology cobordism group, with a particular emphasis on its long-standing and rich history in the context of smooth manifolds. Further, we list various results on its…

Let $(S, m)$ be an $n$-dimensional regular local ring essentially of finite type over a field and let $I$ be an ideal of $S$. We prove that if $\text{depth} S/I \ge 3$, then the cohomological dimension $\mathrm{cd}(S, I)$ of $I$ is less…

In a former article, in collaboration with Jean-Michel Vallin, we have constructed two "quantum groupo\"{\i}ds" dual to each other, from a depth 2 inclusion of von Neumann algebras $M_0\subset M_1$, in such a way that the canonical…

We define a tower of injections of $\tilde{B}$-type (resp. $\tilde{D}$-type) Coxeter groups $W(\tilde B_{n})$ (resp. $W(\tilde D_{n})$) for $n\geq 3$. Let $W^c(\tilde B_{n})$ (resp. $W^c(\tilde D_{n})$) be the set of fully commutative…

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…

This paper constructs (with challenging obstacles) on the three torus with its cubical decomposition: Firstly, a combinatorial graded intersection algebra (graded by the codimension) which is commutative and associative defined by…

In this paper we study the behaviour of modules over finite dimensional algebras whose endomorphism algebra is a division ring. We show that there are finitely many such modules in the module category of an algebra if and only if the length…

We define topologically semiperfect (complete, separated, right linear) topological rings and characterize them by equivalent conditions. We show that the endomorphism ring of a module, endowed with the finite topology, is topologically…

In the mid-1980's, M. Gromov used his machinery of the $h$-principle to prove that there exists totally real embeddings of $S^3$ into $\mathbb{C}^3$. Subsequently, Patrick Ahern and Walter Rudin explicitly demonstrated such a totally real…

We introduce a notion of embedding codimension of an arbitrary local ring, establish some general properties, and study in detail the case of arc spaces of schemes of finite type over a field. Viewing the embedding codimension as a measure…

Let $X$ be a nonempty real variety that is invariant under the action of a reflection group $G$. We conjecture that if $X$ is defined in terms of the first $k$ basic invariants of $G$ (ordered by degree), then $X$ meets a $k$-dimensional…

Let $G$ be the fundamental group of a three-manifold. By piecing together many known facts about three manifold groups, we establish two properties of the group ring $\mathbb{C}G$. We show that if $G$ has rational cohomological dimension…
