Branched Covers of the Riemann Sphere
A (real) manifold of dimension n is a (Hausdorff, second countable) space which is locally homeomorphic to an open subset of Rn. If we wish to make a definition of a complex manifold, we could replace Rn by Cn, but then we see that we have simply given the definition of an even-dimensional real manifold. As with real differentiable manifolds, the key is to add some additional structure via a we...
متن کاملDiscrete uniformization of finite branched covers over the Riemann sphere via hyper-ideal circle patterns
With the help of hyper-ideal circle pattern theory, we have developed a discrete version of the classical uniformization theorems for surfaces represented as finite branched covers over the Riemann sphere as well as compact polyhedral surfaces with non-positive curvature. We show that in the case of such surfaces discrete uniformization via hyper-ideal circle patterns always exists and is uniqu...
متن کاملBranched Cyclic Covers and Finite Type Invariants
This work identifies a class of moves on knots which translate to m-equivalences of the associated p-fold branched cyclic covers, for a fixed m and any p (with respect to the Goussarov-Habiro filtration). These moves are applied to give a flexible (if specialised) construction of knots for which the Casson-Walker-Lescop invariant (for example) of their p-fold branched cyclic covers may be readi...
متن کاملFinite Type Invariants of Cyclic Branched Covers
Given a knot in an integer homology sphere, one can construct a family of closed 3-manifolds (parametrized by the positive integers), namely the cyclic branched coverings of the knot. In this paper we give a formula for the the Casson-Walker invariants of these 3-manifolds in terms of residues of a rational function (which measures the 2-loop part of the Kontsevich integral of a knot) and the s...
متن کاملSurface branched covers and geometric 2-orbifolds
Let Σ̃ and Σ be closed, connected, and orientable surfaces, and let f : Σ̃ → Σ be a branched cover. For each branching point x ∈ Σ the set of local degrees of f at f−1(x) is a partition of the total degree d. The total length of the various partitions is determined by χ(Σ̃), χ(Σ), d and the number of branching points via the Riemann-Hurwitz formula. A very old problem asks whether a collection of ...
