Rigidity of representations in SO(4, 1) for Dehn fillings on 2-bridge knots
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that, for a hyperbolic two-bridge knot, infinitely many Dehn fillings are rigid in SO0(4, 1). Here rigidity means that any discrete and faithful representation in SO0(4, 1) is conjugate to the holonomy representation in SO0(3, 1). We also show local rigidity for almost all Dehn fillings.

Local Rigidity of Hyperbolic 3-manifolds after Dehn Surgery
It is well known that some lattices in SO(n, 1) can be nontrivially deformed when included in SO(n+1, 1) (e.g., via bending on a totally geodesic hypersurface); this contrasts with the (super) rigidity of higher rank lattices. M. Kapovich recently gave the first examples of lattices in SO(3, 1) which are locally rigid in SO(4, 1) by considering closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds obtained by Dehn fil...
متن کاملThe Classification of Toroidal Dehn Surgeries on Montesinos Knots
Exceptional Dehn surgeries have been classified for 2-bridge knots and Montesinos knots of length at least 4. In this paper we classify all toroidal Dehn surgeries on Montesinos knots of length 3.
متن کاملHeegaard Splittings with Boundary and Almost Normal Surfaces
This paper generalizes the definition of a Heegaard splitting to unify the concepts of thin position for 3-manifolds [15], thin position for knots [2], and normal and almost normal surface theory [3], [13]. This gives generalizations of theorems of Scharlemann, Thompson, Rubinstein, and Stocking. In the final section, we use this machinery to produce an algorithm to determine the bridge number ...
متن کامل∂-Reducing Dehn Surgeries and 1-bridge Knots
A 3-manifold is ∂-reducible if ∂M is compressible in M . By definition, this means that there is a disk D properly embedded in M so that ∂D is an essential curve in ∂M . The disk D is called a compressing disk of ∂M , or a ∂-reducing disk of M . Now suppose M is a ∂-reducible manifold. Let K be a knot in a 3-manifold M such that ∂M is incompressible in M − K. A Dehn surgery on K is called ∂-red...
متن کاملun 2 00 7 DEHN FILLING , VOLUME , AND THE JONES POLYNOMIAL
Given a hyperbolic 3–manifold with torus boundary, we bound the change in volume under a Dehn filling where all slopes have length at least 2π. This result is applied to give explicit diagrammatic bounds on the volumes of many knots and links, as well as their Dehn fillings and branched covers. Finally, we use this result to bound the volumes of knots in terms of the coefficients of their Jones...
