We provide examples of towers of covers of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds whose exponential homological torsion growth is explicitly computed in terms of volume growth. These examples arise from abelian covers of alternating links in the…
We propose to generalize the volume conjecture to knotted trivalent graphs and we prove the conjecture for all augmented knotted trivalent graphs. As a corollary we find that for any link L there is a link containing L for which the volume…
We establish the geometry behind the quantum $6j$-symbols under only the admissibility conditions as in the definition of the Turaev-Viro invariants of $3$-manifolds. As a classification, we show that the $6$-tuples in the quantum…
Periodic geodesics on the modular surface correspond to periodic orbits of the geodesic flow in its unit tangent bundle $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. The complement of any finite number of orbits is a…
Motivated by a question of Neumann and Reid, we study whether Dehn fillings on all but one cusp of a hyperbolic link complement can produce infinite families of knot complements with hidden symmetries which geometrically converge to the…
Given two orientable, cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds containing certain thrice-punctured spheres, Adams gave a diagrammatic definition for a third such manifold, their belted sum. Fully augmented links, or FALs, are hyperbolic links…
Let M be a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume that admits a decomposition into right-angled ideal polyhedra. We show that M has a deformation retraction that is a virtually special square complex, in the sense of Haglund and…
According to Mostow's celebrated rigidity theorem, the geometry of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds is already determined by their topology. In particular, the volume of such manifolds is a topological invariant and, as such, has been…
We construct pairs of non-isometric hyperbolic 3-orbifolds with the same topological type and volume. Topologically these orbifolds are mapping tori of pseudo-Anosov maps of the surface of genus 2, with singular locus a fibred (hyperbolic)…
Hyperideal tetrahedra are the fundamental building blocks of hyperbolic 3-manifolds with geodesic boundary. The study of their geometric properties (in particular, of their volume) has applications also in other areas of low-dimensional…
This paper describes a way to subdivide a 3-manifold into angled blocks, namely polyhedral pieces that need not be simply connected. When the individual blocks carry dihedral angles that fit together in a consistent fashion, we prove that a…
In this paper, we study the rigidity of hyperbolic polyhedral 3-manifolds and the volume optimization program of angle structures. We first study the rigidity of decorated 1-3 type hyperbolic polyhedral metrics on 3-manifolds which are…
We answer a question of Freedman and Krushkal, producing filling links in any closed, orientable 3-manifold. The links we construct are hyperbolic, and have large essential systole, contrasting earlier geometric constraints on hyperbolic…
We show the $n$ colored Jones polynomials of a highly twisted link approach the Kauffman bracket of an $n$ colored skein element. This is in the sense that the corresponding categorifications of the colored Jones polynomials approach the…
Any profinite isomorphism between two cusped finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds carries profinite isomorphisms between their Dehn fillings. With this observation, we prove that some cusped finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds are…
We establish a link between the holomorphic derivatives of Thurston's hyperbolic gluing equations on an ideally triangulated finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold and the cohomology of the sheaf of infinitesimal isometries. Moreover, we…
Turaev Viro invariants are amongst the most powerful tools to distinguish 3-manifolds: They are implemented in mathematical software, and allow practical computations. The invariants can be computed purely combinatorially by enumerating…
A three-dimensional orthoscheme is defined as a tetrahedron whose base is a right-angled triangle and an edge joining the apex and a non-right-angled vertex is perpendicular to the base. A generalization, called complete orthoschemes, of…
Moraga and Yeong conjectured that for a smooth complex projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$, an ample line bundle $A$ on $X$ and an integer $m \ge 3 n + 1$, very general elements of the adjoint linear system $|\omega_{X} \otimes…
We show that the volumes of certain hyperbolic A-adequate links can be bounded (above and) below in terms of two diagrammatic quantities: the twist number and the number of certain alternating tangles in an A-adequate diagram. We then…
