Invariants from Triangulations of Hyperbolic 3 - Manifoldswalter

چکیده
For any nite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M we use ideal tri-angulation to deene an invariant (M) in the Bloch group B(C). It actually lies in the subgroup of B(C) determined by the invariant trace eld of M. The Chern-Simons invariant of M is determined modulo rationals by (M). This implies rationality and | assuming the Ramakrishnan conjecture | ir-rationality results for Chern Simons invariants.

Bloch Invariants of Hyperbolic 3 - Manifoldswalter
We deene an invariant (M) of a nite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M in the Bloch group B(C) and show it is determined by the simplex parameters of any degree one ideal triangulation of M. We show (M) lies in a subgroup of B(C) of nite Q-rank determined by the invariant trace eld of M. Moreover, the Chern-Simons invariant of M is determined modulo ra-tionals by (M). This leads to a simplicial for...
متن کاملInvariants from Triangulations of Hyperbolic 3-manifolds
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 ...
متن کاملGeometric 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 کاملHyperbolic Graphs of Small Complexity
In this paper we enumerate and classify the “simplest” pairs (M, G) where M is a closed orientable 3-manifold and G is a trivalent graph embedded in M . To enumerate the pairs we use a variation of Matveev’s definition of complexity for 3-manifolds, and we consider only (0, 1, 2)-irreducible pairs, namely pairs (M, G) such that any 2-sphere in M intersecting G transversely in at most 2 points b...
