Myers shows that every compact, connected, orientable $3$--manifold with no $2$--sphere boundary components contains a hyperbolic knot. We use work of Ikeda with an observation of Adams-Reid to show that every $3$--manifold subject to the…

Given a compact oriented triangulated $3$-manifold we find a non-trivial condition satisfied by certain labelings of the tetrahedra by elements of an arbitrary abelian group which we call angle structures. Smoothness of the manifold is used…

In this paper, we prove that profinitely rigid finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds form a closed set under geometric topology. This observation implies the profinite rigidity of a large family of cusped hyperbolic manifolds via…

This note surveys recent progress toward the profinite rigidity of orientable finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Beginning in a brief review of some basic settings of profinite completion and rigidity of general groups, we state the…

Extending methods first used by Casson, we show how to verify a hyperbolic structure on a finite triangulation of a closed 3-manifold using interval arithmetic methods. A key ingredient is a new theoretical result (akin to a theorem by…

We give a bounded runtime solution to the homeomorphism problem for closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds. This is an algorithm which, given two triangulations of hyperbolic 3-manifolds by at most $t$ tetrahedra, decides if they represent the same…

We establish a parametric extension $h$-principle for overtwisted contact structures on manifolds of all dimensions, which is the direct generalization of the $3$-dimensional result from \cite{Eli89}. It implies, in particular, that any…

This paper introduces a rigorous computer-assisted procedure for analyzing hyperbolic 3-manifolds. This technique is used to complete the proof of several long-standing rigidity conjectures in 3-manifold theory as well as to provide a new…

This paper contains examples of closed aspherical manifolds obtained as a by-product of recent work by the author [arXiv:math.GR/0509490] on the relative strict hyperbolization of polyhedra. The following is proved. (I) Any closed…

We give an upper bound for the number of compact essential orientable non-isotopic surfaces, with Euler characteristic at least some constant $\chi$, properly embedded in a finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$, closed or cusped. This…

In a recent paper Garoufalidis and Reid constructed pairs of 1-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds which are isospectral but not isometric. In this paper we extend this work to the multi-cusped setting by constructing isospectral but not…

We survey work on the topology of the space AH(M) of all (marked) hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to a fixed compact 3-manifold M with boundary. The interior of AH(M) is quite well-understood, but the topology of the entire space…

We outline a rigorous algorithm, first suggested by Casson, for determining whether a closed orientable 3-manifold M is hyperbolic, and to compute the hyperbolic structure, if one exists. The algorithm requires that a procedure has been…

A homotopy equivalence between a hyperbolic 3-manifold and a closed irreducible 3-manifold is homotopic to a homeomorphsim provided the hyperbolic manifold satisfies a purely geometric condition. There are no known examples of hyperbolic…

Let M be a compact hyperbolic manifold with totally geodesic boundary. If the injectivity radius of the boundary is larger than an explicit function of the normal injectivity radius of the boundary, we show that there is a negatively curved…

In this paper, we find infinite hyperbolic 3-manifolds that admit no weakly symplectically fillable contact structures, using tools in Heegaard Floer theory. We also remark that part of these manifolds do admit tight contact structures.

After a short summary of known results on surface-complexity of closed 3-manifolds, we will classify all closed orientable 3-manifolds with surface-complexity one.

In this paper we construct explicit examples of both closed and non-compact finite volume hyperbolic manifolds which provide counterexamples to the conjecture that the co-rank of a 3-manifold group (also known as the cut number) is bounded…

In this note, we develop a condition on a closed curve on a surface or in a 3-manifold that implies that the curve has the property that its length function on the space of all hyperbolic structures on the surface or 3-manifold completely…

An extra large metric is a spherical cone metric with all cone angles greater than 2 pi and every closed geodesic longer than 2pi. We show that every two-dimensional extra large metric can be triangulated with vertices at cone points only.…
