Bordered Floer homology assigns invariants to 3-manifolds with boundary, such that the Heegaard Floer homology of a closed 3-manifold, split into two pieces, can be recovered as a tensor product of the bordered invariants of the pieces. We…
We prove a version of the finiteness conjecture for Kauffman bracket skein modules of $3$-manifolds with boundary, which was introduced by the second author in \cite{Det21}. In particular our methods, which are constructive, give an…
We prove first-order naturality of involutive Heegaard Floer homology, and furthermore construct well-defined maps on involutive Heegaard Floer homology associated to cobordisms between three-manifolds. We also prove analogous naturality…
We establish a surgery exact triangle for involutive Heegaard Floer homology by using a doubling model of the involution. We use this exact triangle to give an involutive version of Ozsv\'ath-Szab\'o's mapping cone formula for knot surgery.…
Over the years, several Bridges papers have delved into the concept of danceability of a knot diagram. Inspired by dancing on non-orientable surfaces, in this paper, we expand danceability to twisted virtual knot diagrams. This paper is…
We discuss a 'Lefschetz filtration' of $\Lambda^*(\mathbb Z^{2g})$ and prove its subquotients are isomorphic as $\text{Sp}(2g)$-modules to primitive subspaces $P^k(\mathbb Z^{2g})$. This gives a sort of integral version of the Lefschetz…
Given a simply-connected 4-manifold with boundary the 3-sphere, this paper establishes sufficient conditions for a knot in the boundary to be sliced by a locally flat disc in the 4-manifold, whose complement has finite cyclic fundamental…
We compute the $E_2$ page in the Rasmussen spectral sequence from triply graded to $\mathfrak{gl}_N$ Khovanov--Rozansky stable homology of torus knots. This confirms a weak form of the conjecture of the second author, Oblomkov, and…
We define an invariant of triple-point-free immersions of $2$-spheres into Euclidean $3$-space, taking values in $l^1(\mathbb{Z})$. It remains unchanged under regular homotopies through such immersions. An explicit description of its image…
We introduce the notion of round surgery diagrams in $S^3$ for representing 3-manifolds similar to Dehn surgery diagrams. We give a correspondence between a certain class of round surgery diagrams and Dehn surgery diagrams for 3-manifolds.…
In this paper, we give a characterization of homogeneous quandles with abelian inner automorphism groups. In particular, we show that such a quandle is expressed as an abelian extension of a trivial quandle. Our construction is a…
The Kakimizu complex $MS(K)$ for a knot $K\subset\mathbb{S}^3$ is the simplicial complex with vertices the isotopy classes of minimal genus Seifert surfaces in the exterior of $K$ and simplices any set of vertices with mutually disjoint…
A pseudo-Anosov flow on a hyperbolic 3-manifold dynamically represents a face F of the Thurston norm ball if the cone on F is dual to the cone spanned by homology classes of closed orbits of the flow. Fried showed that for every fibered…
We define a 1-parameter family of homology invariants for links in thickened oriented surfaces. It recovers the homology invariant of Asaeda-Przytycki-Sikora (arxiv:0409414) and the invariant defined by Winkeler (arxiv:2106.03834). The new…
We study Veech groups associated to the pseudo-Anosov monodromies of fibers and foliations of a fixed hyperbolic 3-manifold. Assuming Lehmer's Conjecture, we prove that the Veech groups associated to fibers generically contain no parabolic…
We adapt Seifert's algorithm for classical knots and links to the setting of tri-plane diagrams for bridge trisected surfaces in the 4-sphere. Our approach allows for the construction of a Seifert solid that is described by a Heegaard…
We calculate the singular instanton homology with local coefficients for the simplest n-strand braids in $S^1 \times S^2$ for all odd n, describing these homology groups and their module structures in terms of the coordinate rings of…
We prove that for any oriented cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ and any compact oriented 3-manifold $N$ with tori boundary, there exists a finite cover $M'$ of $M$ that admits a degree-8 map $f:M'\to N$, i.e. $M$ virtually 8-dominates $N$.
A real algebraic link in the 3-sphere is defined as the zero locus in the 3-sphere of a real algebraic function from $\mathbb{R}^4$ to $\mathbb{R}^2$. A real algebraic open book decomposition on the 3-sphere is by definition the Milnor…
Generalizing the work of Fock--Goncharov on rational unbounded laminations, we give a geometric model of the tropical points of the cluster variety $\mathcal{X}_{\mathfrak{sl}_3,\Sigma}$, which we call unbounded…
