Abstract

For a complete, finite volume real hyperbolic n-manifold M, we investigate the map between homology of the cusps of M and the homology of $M$. Our main result provides a proof of a result required in a recent paper of Frigerio, Lafont, and Sisto.

A classification of semi-equivelar gems on the double torus

A \emph{semi-equivelar gem} of a PL $d$-manifold is a regular colored graph that represents the manifold and admits a regular embedding on a surface, such that the cyclic sequence of face degrees around each vertex is identical. In \cite{ab25, bb24}, semi-equivelar gems of PL $d$-manifolds embedded on surfaces with Euler characteristic $χ\geq -1$ were classified for $d\geq 2$. In this paper, we extend this classification to semi-equivelar gems embedded on the double torus. We show that any such gem must belong to one of the following thirty two types: $(4^6)$, $(4^5)$, $(6^4)$, $(4^3,6)$, $(4^3,8)$, $(4^3,12)$, $(4^2,6^2)$, $(4,6,4,6)$, $(4^2,8^2)$, $(4,8,4,8)$, $(8^3)$, $(10^3)$, $(6^2,8)$, $(6^2,10)$, $(6^2,12)$, $(6^2,18)$, $(10^2,4)$, $(12^2,4)$, $(16^2,4)$, $(8^2,6)$, $(12^2,6)$, $(4,6,14)$, $(4,6,16)$, $(4,6,18)$, $(4,6,20)$, $(4,6,24)$, $(4,6,36)$, $(4,8,10)$, $(4,8,12)$, $(4,8,16)$, $(4,8,24)$, and $(4,10,20)$. Furthermore, we provide explicit constructions of semi-equivelar gems realizing each of these types.

$\widetilde{H}$-cobordisms, infinite cyclic covers, and real Seiberg--Witten theory

We study $\widetilde{H}$-cobordisms of distinguished homology handles, introduced by Kawauchi in 1976 using infinite cyclic covers. Despite the extensive development of gauge-theoretic and Floer-theoretic invariants since Kawauchi's work, none were previously known to distinguish smooth and topological $\widetilde{H}$-cobordism. In this paper, we construct asymptotic invariants of distinguished homology handles by applying real Seiberg--Witten theory to finite cyclic covers. Using these invariants, we show that the kernel of the natural map from the smooth $\widetilde{H}$-cobordism group to its topological counterpart contains a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}$. We also define spin versions of these groups and show that the kernel of the corresponding natural map contains a subgroup isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^\infty$.

On Round Surgery on Framed Links and Their Diagrams for 3-manifolds

We introduce a novel method for performing round surgery on framed links in a 3-manifold. In $\mathbb{S}^3$, these operations give rise to round surgery diagrams for 3-manifolds, directly analogous to classical Dehn surgery diagrams. We establish an explicit correspondence between a specific class of these round surgery diagrams and integral Dehn surgery diagrams. As a consequence, we prove a round surgery analogue of the Lickorish-Wallace theorem, demonstrating that any closed, connected, oriented 3-manifold can be obtained via round surgery on a framed link in $\mathbb{S}^3$. This result recovers Asimov's foundational theorem for oriented 3-manifolds within a purely diagrammatic framework. Since distinct round surgery diagrams can represent homeomorphic 3-manifolds, we naturally investigate whether a version of Kirby calculus exists in this setting. To this end, we define four types of diagrammatic moves and prove that any two round surgery diagrams representing the same 3-manifold are related by a finite sequence of these moves, thereby establishing a "round version" of Kirby calculus. Finally, we prove two applications of this framework. First, we outline a method to construct standard Kirby diagrams directly from round surgery diagrams. Second, we establish the existence of taut foliations-and consequently tight contact structures-on 3-manifolds obtained via round surgeries of index 1 on two-component fibered links in $\mathbb{S}^3$.
