Spherical CR geometry and Dehn surgery , by Richard
نویسنده
چکیده
The ideas in this book revolve around a central theorem, the horotube surgery theorem, which is mainly of interest to specialists in complex hyperbolic geometry; see Section 6 below. This book is the culmination of several important papers by Schwartz in this area, which we describe in Section 4 below. As well as the main theorem, this book contains background material and applications. It may be used as an introduction to Schwartz’s contribution to complex hyperbolic geometry as well as to the subject as a whole, and it is accessible to non-specialists. In this review we will give some of the historical background, discuss the horotube surgery theorem, and describe its applications. This plan follows the book and touches on several themes it contains.

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 کاملPolyhedral Deformations of Cone Manifolds A Aalam
Two single parameter families of polyhedra P (ψ) are constructed in three dimensional spaces of constant curvature C(ψ). Identification of the faces of the polyhedra via isometries results in cone manifolds M(ψ) which are topologically S × S, S or singular S . The singular set of M(ψ) can have self intersections for some values of ψ and can also be the Whitehead link or form other configuration...
متن کاملA spherical CR structure on the complement of the figure eight knot with discrete holonomy
A spherical CR structure on the complement of the figure eight knot with discrete holonomy. Abstract We describe a general geometrical construction of spherical CR structures. We construct then spherical CR structures on the complement of the figure eight knot and the Whitehead link. They have discrete holonomies contained in P U (2, 1, Z[ω]) and P U (2, 1, Z[i]) respectively. These are the sam...
