Dehn Fillings and Elementary Splittings
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider conditions on relatively hyperbolic groups about the non-existence of certain kinds of splittings, and show these properties persist in long Dehn fillings. We deduce that certain connectivity properties of the Bowditch boundary persist un-

Explicit Dehn filling and Heegaard splittings
We prove an explicit, quantitative criterion that ensures the Heegaard surfaces in Dehn fillings behave “as expected.” Given a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold X, and a Dehn filling whose meridian and longitude curves are longer than 2π(2g − 1), we show that every genus g Heegaard splitting of the filled manifold is isotopic to a splitting of the original manifold X. The analogous statement holds f...
متن کاملLayered - Triangulations of 3 – Manifolds
A family of one-vertex triangulations of the genus-g-handlebody, called layered-triangulations, is defined. These triangulations induce a one-vertex triangulation on the boundary of the handlebody, a genus g surface. Conversely, any one-vertex triangulation of a genus g surface can be placed on the boundary of the genus-g-handlebody in infinitely many distinct ways; it is shown that any of thes...
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 کاملA ug 1 99 7 NONHYPERBOLIC DEHN FILLINGS ON HYPERBOLIC 3 - MANIFOLDS Mario
In this paper we will give three infinite families of examples of nonhyperbolic Dehn fillings on hyperbolic manifolds. A manifold in the first family admits two Dehn fillings of distance two apart, one of which is toroidal and annular, and the other is reducible and ∂-reducible. A manifold in the second family has boundary consisting of two tori, and admits two reducible Dehn fillings. A manifo...
متن کاملRigidity of representations in SO(4, 1) for Dehn fillings on 2-bridge knots
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.
