This paper develops a computational framework for studying the hyperbolic geometry of 2-bridge link complements and Kleinian groups generated by two parabolic elements. The framework is built on Sakuma-Weeks triangulations and introduces a…
Ozsv\'ath and Stipsicz showed that some Eliashberg-Chekanov twist knots, which are Whitehead doubles of the unknot, are not Legendrian simple. We extend their result by considering some Whitehead doubles of the trefoil: Using properties of…
We provide a rigorous proof of the Gang-Yonekura formula describing the transformation of the 3D index under Dehn filling a cusp in an orientable 3-manifold. The 3D index, originally introduced by Dimofte, Gaiotto and Gukov, is a physically…
We give a description of finitely generated prosoluble subgroups of the profinite completion of $3$-manifold groups and virtually compact special groups.
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,…
The topic of fixed points in digital metric spaces has drawn yet more publications with assertions that are incorrect, incorrectly proven, trivial, or incoherently stated. We discuss publications with bad assertions concerning fixed points…
We analyze the number of ends of the mapping class group of a stable avenue surface. We prove that the mapping class group is one-ended whenever the stable avenue surface has at least one end of discrete type. Our method is to show that the…
We prove Calegari's conjecture that every quasigeodesic flow on a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold can be deformed to a flow that is simultaneously quasigeodesic and pseudo-Anosov.
We develop and implement an algorithm that computes the full knot Floer complex of knots of thickness one. As an application, by extending this algorithm to certain knots of thickness two, we show that all but finitely many non-integral…
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…
Let $N$ be a compact, orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold whose boundary is a connected totally geodesic surface of genus $2$. If $N$ has Heegaard genus at least $5$, then its volume is greater than $2V_{\rm oct}$, where $V_{\rm…
We show that the Khovanov-Rozansky $\mathfrak{gl}_2$ skein lasagna module distinguishes the exotic pair of knot traces $X_{-1}(-5_2)$ and $X_{-1}(P(3,-3,-8))$, an example first discovered by Akbulut. This gives the first analysis-free proof…
We determine the dimension of the Kauffman bracket skein module at generic $q$ for mapping tori of the 2-torus, generalising the well-known computation of Carrega and Gilmer. In the process, we give a decomposition of the twisted Hochschild…
We present a computationally efficient algorithm that is suitable for graphic processing unit implementation. This algorithm enables the identification of all weak pseudo-manifolds that meet specific facet conditions, drawn from a given…
We use unimodular ribbon categories to construct quantum invariants of ribbon surfaces in $4$-dimensional $2$-handlebodies up to $1$-isotopy. In the process, we recover invariants due to Bobtcheva-Messia, Broda-Petit,…
We define an invariant $(W_3)_m$ for $\pi_0\mathrm{Diff}(\natural_m S^1\times D^3,\partial)$ for $m\geq 1$ that generalizes Budney--Gabai's $W_3$ invariant. We give a computational framework inspired by Budney--Gabai and use it to calculate…
Given an isotopy class between two closed hyperbolic surfaces, the Douady--Earle extension provides a unique analytic diffeomorphism representative. In this paper we investigate the Jacobian of the Douady--Earle extension map $F$. We prove…
In this article, we define the contact surgery distance of two contact 3-manifolds $(M,\xi)$ and $(M',\xi')$ as the minimal number of contact surgeries needed to obtain $(M,\xi)$ from $(M',\xi')$. Our main result states that the contact…
In this article, we explore phenomena relating to quasi-alternating surgeries on knots, where a quasi-alternating surgery on a knot is a Dehn surgery yielding the double branched cover of a quasi-alternating link. Since the double branched…
In this paper, we give a new direct proof of a result by Bobtcheva and Piergallini that provides finite algebraic presentations of two categories, denoted $3\mathrm{Cob}$ and $4\mathrm{HB}$, whose morphisms are manifolds of dimension $3$…
