Constructing Simplicial Branched Covers

Izmestiev and Joswig described how to obtain a simplicial covering space (the partial unfolding) of a given simplicial complex, thus obtaining a simplicial branched cover [Adv. Geom. 3(2):191-255, 2003]. We present a large class of branched covers which can be constructed via the partial unfolding. In particular, for d ≤ 4 every closed oriented PL d-manifold is the partial unfolding of some pol...

Signatures of Links and Finite Type Invariants of Cyclic Branched Covers

Recently, Mullins calculated the Casson-Walker invariant of the 2-fold cyclic branched cover of an oriented link in S in terms of its Jones polynomial and its signature, under the assumption that the 2-fold branched cover is a rational homology 3-sphere. Using elementary principles, we provide a similar calculation for the general case. In addition, we calculate the LMO invariant of the p-fold ...

Finite 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...

On the nonexistence of certain branched covers

Starting with the classical result of Alexander [1], asserting that every closed, orientable PL–manifold of dimension n admits a branched cover onto the n–dimensional sphere S , a series of authors such as Berstein and Edmonds [3], Edmonds [11], Hilden [15], Hirsch [16], Iori and Piergallini [18], Montesinos [19] and Piergallini [20] have proved the existence of branched covers satisfying certa...

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...
