Deligne-Mostow lattices with three fold symmetry and cone metrics on the sphere

Abstract

Deligne and Mostow constructed a class of lattices in PU(2,1) using monodromy of hypergeometric functions. Later, Thurston reinterpreted them in terms of cone metrics on the sphere. In this spirit we construct a fundamental domain for all lattices with three fold symmetry in Deligne-Mostow list. This is a generalisation of the works of Parker and Boadi and gives a different interpretation of the fundamental domain constructed by Deraux, Falbel and Paupert for some of these lattices.

Cut pairs and Morse splitting of finitely generated groups

Bowditch's theorem for hyperbolic groups establishes a fundamental correspondence between splittings over two-ended subgroups and the existence of local cut points in the Gromov boundary. While analogous results have been obtained for CAT(0) and relatively hyperbolic groups, no general theorem of this type exists for arbitrary finitely generated groups. The Morse boundary, introduced by Charney-Sultan and extended by Cordes, provides a quasi-isometry invariant boundary for any finitely generated group that naturally generalizes the Gromov boundary. In this paper, we prove that a splitting of a finitely generated group with connected Morse boundary over a two-ended Morse subgroup gives rise to a separating pair of points in the Morse boundary.

Khovanov Homology in Connected Sums

Khovanov homology is an invariant for links in the three sphere that categorizes the Jones polynomial. We extend Khovanov's construction to links in 3-manifolds that are connected sums of orientable interval bundles over surfaces. Cutting the 3-manifold along a separating sphere, we construct type D and type A structures that are invariants of tangles in the two halves following the work of Roberts. Gluing the type D and type A structures along the common boundary recovers the Khovanov homology of the link.

Fox-Milnor condition for concordant knots in homology 3-spheres

This paper will show that the Alexander polynomial of a knot, which is of slice type in an oriented homology 3-sphere, obeys the Fox-Milnor polynomial condition. A relation between Alexander polynomial of concordant knots in an oriented homology 3-sphere is established.
