We describe an algorithm that, given a 3-manifold M, outputs a finite set containing all minimal volume k-component hyperbolic link complements in M. A key step, that might be of independent interest, is an algorithm that, given two…
For a compact connected 3-submanifold with connected boundary in the 3-sphere, we relate the existence of a Seifert surface system for a surface with a Dehn surgery along a null-homologous link. As its corollary, we obtain a refinement of…
A filling Dehn surface in a $3$-manifold $M$ is a generically immersed surface in $M$ that induces a cellular decomposition of $M$. Given a tame link $L$ in $M$ there is a filling Dehn sphere of $M$ that "trivializes" (\emph{diametrically…
We show that the decision problem of recognising whether a triangulated 3-manifold admits a Seifert fibered structure with non-empty boundary is in NP. We also show that the problem of producing Seifert data for a triangulation of such a…
Finding a totally geodesic surface, an embedded surface where the geodesics in the surface are also geodesics in the surrounding manifold, has been a problem of interest in the study of 3-manifolds. This has especially been of interest in…
In this paper, we study the global geometry of complete, constant mean curvature hypersurfaces embedded in n-manifolds. More precisely, we give conditions that imply properness of such surfaces and prove the existence of fixed size…
Recently, Hodgson and Kerckhoff found a small bound on Dehn surgered 3-manifolds from hyperbolic knots not admitting hyperbolic structures using deformations of hyperbolic cone-manifolds. They asked whether the area normalized meridian…
This article is concerned with locally flatly immersed surfaces in simply-connected $4$-manifolds where the complement of the surface has fundamental group $\mathbb{Z}$. Once the genus and number of double points are fixed, we classify such…
This paper illustrates a computational approach to Culler-Morgan-Shalen theory using ideal triangulations, spun-normal surfaces and tropical geometry. Certain affine algebraic sets associated to the Whitehead link complement as well as…
In this paper, we prove three related results; (1) Extension of our result in [10] to all generic hypersurfaces. More precisely, the normal sheaf of a generic rational map $c_0$ to a generic hypersurface $X_0$ of $\mathbf P^n, n\geq 4$ has…
This paper is about the geometry of flip-graphs associated to triangulations of surfaces. More precisely, we consider a topological surface with a privileged boundary curve and study the spaces of its triangulations with n vertices on the…
In this paper we consider an inverse problem of determining a minimal surface embedded in a Riemannian manifold. We show under a topological condition that if $\Sigma$ is a $2$-dimensional embedded minimal surface, then the knowledge of the…
We investigate ruled surfaces in 3d Riemannian manifolds, i.e., surfaces foliated by geodesics. In 3d space forms, we find the striction curve, distribution parameter, and the first and second fundamental forms, from which we obtain the…
This paper describes the complete list of all 205,822 exceptional Dehn fillings on the 1-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds that have ideal triangulations with at most 9 ideal tetrahedra. The data is consistent with the standard conjectures…
We develop a rigorous theoretical framework for principal manifold estimation that recovers a latent low-dimensional manifold from a point cloud observed in a high-dimensional ambient space. Our framework accommodates manifolds with…
This} paper presents relations between least area and normal surfaces, embedded in either a Euclidean or hyperbolic $3$-manifold. A relaxed version of normal surfaces, termed quasi-normal, is introduced, and it is shown that under…
We show that the theory of varifolds can be suitably enriched to open the way to applications in the field of discrete and computational geometry. Using appropriate regularizations of the mass and of the first variation of a varifold we…
We prove for the first time a pointwise lower estimate of the normal injectivity radius of an embedded hypersurface in an arbitrary Riemannian manifold. Main applications include: (i) a pointwise lower estimate of the graphing radius of a…
Hypersurfaces embedded in conformal manifolds appear frequently as boundary data in boundary-value problems in cosmology and string theory. Viewed as the non-null conformal infinity of a spacetime, we consider hypersurfaces embedded in a…
We show that, for any given 3-manifold M, there are at most finitely many hyperbolic knots K in the 3-sphere and fractions p/q (with q > 22), such that M is obtained by p/q surgery along K. This is a corollary of the following result. If M…
