Dehn surgeries and smooth structures on 3-dimensional transitive Anosov flows.
2020
The present thesis is about Dehn surgeries and smooth structures associated with transitive Anosov flows in dimension three. Anosov flows constitute a very important class of dynamical systems, because of its persistent chaotic behaviour, as well as for its rich interaction with the topology of the ambient space. Even if a lot is known about the dynamical and ergodic properties of these systems, there is not a clear understanding about how to classify its different orbital equivalence classes. Until now, the biggest progress has been done in dimension three, where there is a family of techniques intended for the construction of Anosov flows called surgeries.During the realization of this th…
On the hyperbolic limit points of groups acting on hyperbolic spaces
1998
We study the hyperbolic limit points of a groupG acting on a hyperbolic metric space, and consider the question of whether any attractive limit point corresponds to a unique repulsive limit point. In the special case whereG is a (non-elementary) finitely generated hyperbolic group acting on its Cayley graph, the answer is affirmative, and the resulting mapg +↦g −, is discontinuous everywhere on the hyperbolic boundary. We also provide a direct, combinatorial proof in the special case whereG is a (non-abelian) free group of finite type, by characterizing algebraically the hyperbolic ends ofG.
Topological classification of gradient-like diffeomorphisms on 3-manifolds
2004
Abstract We give a complete invariant, called global scheme , of topological conjugacy classes of gradient-like diffeomorphisms, on compact 3-manifolds. Conversely, we can realize any abstract global scheme by such a diffeomorphism.
Total curvatures of convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space
1999
We give sharp upper estimates for the difference circumradius minus inradius and for the angle between the radial vector (respect to the center of an inball) and the normal to the boundary of a compact $h$-convex domain in the hyperpolic space. We apply these estimates to get the limit at the infinity for the quotients Volume/Area and (Total $k$-mean curvature)/Area of a family of $h$-convex domains which expand over the whole space. The theorem for the first quotient gives an extension to arbitrary dimension of a result of Santalo and Yanez for the hyperbolic plane.
THE HOROSPHERICAL GEOMETRY OF SUBMANIFOLDS IN HYPERBOLIC SPACE
2005
Some geometrical properties associated to the contact of submanifolds with hyperhorospheres in hyperbolic -space are studied as an application of the theory of Legendrian singularities.
Non-equivalent hyperbolic knots
2002
We construct, for each integer n 3, pairs of non-equivalent hyperbolic knots with the same 2fold and n-fold cyclic branched covers. We also discuss necessary conditions for such pairs of knots to exist. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. MSC: primary 57M25; secondary 57M12, 57M50
The HOMFLY-PT polynomials of sublinks and the Yokonuma–Hecke algebras
2016
We describe completely the link invariants constructed using Markov traces on the Yokonuma-Hecke algebras in terms of the linking matrix and the HOMFLYPT polynomials of sublinks.
Finite type invariants of knots in homology 3-spheres with respect to null LP-surgeries
2017
We study a theory of finite type invariants for null-homologous knots in rational homology 3-spheres with respect to null Lagrangian-preserving surgeries. It is an analogue in the setting of the rational homology of the Goussarov-Rozansky theory for knots in integral homology 3-spheres. We give a partial combinatorial description of the graded space associated with our theory and determine some cases when this description is complete. For null-homologous knots in rational homology 3-spheres with a trivial Alexander polynomial, we show that the Kricker lift of the Kontsevich integral and the Lescop equivariant invariant built from integrals in configuration spaces are universal finite type i…
Non-immersion theorem for a class of hyperbolic manifolds
1998
Abstract It is proved that a non-simply-connected complete hyperbolic manifold cannot be isometrically immersed in a Euclidean space with a flat normal connection. In particular, the complete hyperbolic manifold M n with π 1 ( M ) ≠ 0 cannot be isometrically immersed in R 2 n − 1 .
Some remarks on universal covers and groups
2014
We give a quick reviw of problems concerning the topological behavior of contractible covering spaces, from the point of view of the topology at infinity.
