Invariants from Triangulations of Hyperbolic 3-manifolds

چکیده
For any finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M we use ideal triangulation to define an invariant β(M) in the Bloch group B(C ). It actually lies in the subgroup of B(C ) determined by the invariant trace field of M . The Chern-Simons invariant of M is determined modulo rationals by β(M). This implies rationality and — assuming the Ramakrishnan conjecture — irrationality results for Chern Simons invariants.

Geometric structures associated to triangulations as fixed point sets of involutions
Thurston’s first examples of hyperbolic structures on the complement of links were obtained by using topological ideal triangulations, that is, triangulations with removed vertices [T]. That idea was the source of a huge number of examples and the proof of the hyperbolic Dehn surgery theorem. Recently, examples of spherical CR structures (locally modelled on the Heisenberg group, see section 5)...
متن کاملk-NORMAL SURFACES
Following Matveev, a k-normal surface in a triangulated 3-manifold is a generalization of both normal and (octagonal) almost normal surfaces. Using spines, complexity, and Turaev-Viro invariants of 3-manifolds, we prove the following results: • a minimal triangulation of a closed irreducible or a bounded hyperbolic 3-manifold contains no non-trivial k-normal sphere; • every triangulation of a c...
متن کاملCurvature Bounds for Surfaces in Hyperbolic 3-manifolds
We prove existence of thick geodesic triangulations of hyperbolic 3-manifolds and use this to prove existence of universal bounds on the principal curvatures of surfaces embedded in hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
متن کاملIdeal triangulations of finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds
Any non compact finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold has a finite cover which admits a nondegenerate ideal triangulation. As an application, we show that the volume of those manifolds is always a critical value of a function defined from the Lobachevskii function.
متن کاملThe cusped hyperbolic census is complete
From its creation in 1989 through subsequent extensions, the widely-used “SnapPea census” now aims to represent all cusped finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds that can be obtained from ≤ 8 ideal tetrahedra. Its construction, however, has relied on inexact computations and some unproven (though reasonable) assumptions, and so its completeness was never guaranteed. For the first time, we prove h...
