Let $(M, \partial M)$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary which admits a complete, convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. For each hyperbolic metric $g$ on $M$ such that $\dr M$ is smooth and strictly convex, the induced metric on $\dr M$…

We extend the Neumann's methods and give the explicit formulae for the volume and the Chern-Simons invariant for hyperbolic alternating knot orbifolds.

In this paper, we find lower bounds for volumes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds with various topological conditions. Let V_3 = 1.01494 denote the volume of a regular ideal simplex in hyperbolic 3-space. As a special case of the main theorem, if a…

Let $M$ be a complete oriented hyperbolic $3$--manifold of finite volume. Using classifying spaces for families of subgroups we construct a class $\beta_P(M)$ in the Adamson relative homology group…

In a variety of settings we provide a method for decomposing a 3-manifold $M$ into pieces. When the pieces have the appropriate type of hyperbolicity, then the manifold $M$ is hyperbolic and its volume is bounded below by the sum of the…

Given the fundamental group $\Gamma$ of a finite-volume complete hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$, it is possible to associate to any representation $\rho:\Gamma \rightarrow \text{Isom}(\mathbb{H}^3)$ a numerical invariant called volume. This…

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…

This paper is devoted to the construction of differential geometric invariants for the classification of "Quaternionic" vector bundles. Provided that the base space is a smooth manifold of dimension two or three endowed with an involution…

This paper investigates a real-valued topological invariant of 3-manifolds called topological volume. For a given 3-manifold M it is defined as the smallest volume of the complement of a (possibly empty) hyperbolic link in M. Various…

Let W be a compact manifold and let \rho be a representation of its fundamental group into PSL(2,C). The volume of \rho is defined by taking any \rho-equivariant map from the universal cover of W to H^3 and then by integrating the pull-back…

In this article, we prove that the commensurability class of a closed, orientable, hyperbolic 3-manifold is determined by the surface subgroups of its fundamental group. Moreover, we prove that there can be only finitely many closed,…

Let M be a cusped 3-manifold, and let T be an ideal triangulation of M. The deformation variety D(T), a subset of which parameterises (incomplete) hyperbolic structures obtained on M using T, is defined and compactified by adding certain…

We derive formulas for the classical Chern-Simons invariant of irreducible $SU(n)$-flat connections on negatively curved locally symmetric three-manifolds. We determine the condition for which the theory remains consistent (with basic…

For an oriented finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M with a fixed spin structure \eta, we consider a sequence of invariants {\tau_n(M; \eta)}. Roughly speaking, {\tau_n(M; \eta)} is the Reidemeister torsion of M with respect to the…

We review some recent developments in Chern-Simons theory on a hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with complex gauge group $G$. We focus on the case $G=SL(N,\mathbb{C})$ and with $M$ a knot complement. The main result presented in this note is the…

We prove the Bloch conjecture : $ c_2(E) \in H^4_\cald (X,\bbz(2))$ is torsion for holomorphic rank two vector bundles $E$ with an integrable connection over a complex projective variety $X$. We prove also the rationality of the…

We investigate the conjectural relations between the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten quantum SU(2) invariants and the volume of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Given a finite set of sufficiently large positive integers, say J, we construct examples of…

Let M be a 1-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold whose cusp shape is quadratic. We show that there exists c=c(M) such that the number of hyperbolic Dehn fillings of M with any given volume v is uniformly bounded by c.

In a recent paper, Dave Benson and Peter Symonds defined a new invariant $\gamma_G(M)$ for a finite dimensional module $M$ of a finite group $G$ which attempts to quantify how close a module is to being projective. In this paper, we…

We consider complex invariants associated with compact real three-dimensional hyperbolic spaces. The contribution of the Chern-Simons invariants of irreducible U(n)-flat connections on hyperbolic fibered manifolds to the low order expansion…
