Brieskorn spheres bound orbit spaces of torus manifolds

Abstract

We construct a smooth, equivariantly formal, simply connected torus $8$-manifold over a contractible $4$-manifold with the boundary a Brieskorn homology $3$-sphere having a nontrivial fundamental group. We prove extension to a torus graph for GKM graphs of GKM$_{4}$ manifolds in complexity $2$, and $3$ under a finite fundamental group assumption (that is not satisfied, in general).

Bending parameterization of one-sided degenerate Kleinian surface groups

It was recently proved that quasi-Fuchsian manifolds are uniquely determined by their bending laminations. This paper concerns a similar result for certain non-quasi-Fuchsian manifolds~: those obtained by degenerating one end but not the other, i.e. those appearing in boundaries of Bers slices. More precisely, we show that such hyperbolic manifolds are uniquely determined by the end structure of the degenerated end and the bending lamination of the other. The end structure consists of the parabolic locus, which is a multicurve, together with ending laminations or conformal structures on each components of its complement.

Combinatorial Ricci Flows and Hyperbolic Structures on a Class of Compact $3$-Manifolds with Boundary

In this paper, we study a combinatorial Ricci flow on closed pseudo $3$-manifolds $(M,\mathcal{T})$. We prove that if every edge in the triangulation $\mathcal{T}$ has valence at least $9$, then the combinatorial Ricci flow converges exponentially fast to the unique zero-curvature hyper-ideal metric. As a consequence, for any compact $3$-manifold $N$ with boundary admitting an ideal triangulation $\mathcal{T}_N$ whose edges all have valence at least $9$, there exists a unique complete hyperbolic metric with totally geodesic boundary on $N$ such that $\mathcal{T}_N$ is isotopic to a geometric decomposition of $N$. This provides a partial solution to the conjecture of Costantino, Frigerio, Martelli and Petronio, and hence an affirmative answer to Thurston's geometric ideal triangulation conjecture for such manifolds. Moreover, we obtain explicit upper and lower bounds for the resulting hyperbolic metric.
