Local Rigidity of Hyperbolic 3-manifolds after Dehn Surgery

چکیده

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 filling on hyperbolic two-bridge knots. We generalize this result to Dehn filling on a more general class of one-cusped finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds, allowing us to produce the first examples of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds which contain embedded quasi-Fuchsian surfaces but are locally rigid in SO(4, 1).

Hyperbolic Dehn surgery on geometrically infinite 3-manifolds

In this paper we extend Thurston’s hyperbolic Dehn surgery theorem to a class of geometrically infinite hyperbolic 3-manifolds. As an application we prove a modest density theorem for Kleinian groups. We also discuss hyperbolic Dehn surgery on geometrically finite hypebolic cone-manifolds.

On Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds Obtained by Dehn Surgery on Links

We study the algebraic and geometric structures for closed orientable 3-manifolds obtained by Dehn surgery along the family of hyperbolic links with certain surgery coefficients and moreover, the geometric presentations of the fundamental group of these manifolds. We prove that our surgery manifolds are 2-fold cyclic covering of 3-sphere branched over certain link by applying the Montesinos the...

Non-integral Toroidal Dehn Surgeries

If we perform a non-trivial Dehn surgery on a hyperbolic knot in the 3-sphere, the result is usually a hyperbolic 3-manifold. However, there are exceptions: there are hyperbolic knots with surgeries that give lens spaces [1], small Seifert fiber spaces [2], [5], [7], [20], and toroidal manifolds, that is, manifolds containing (embedded) incompressible tori [6], [7]. In particular, Eudave-Muñoz ...

Rigidity 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.

Dehn surgery, homology and hyperbolic volume

If a closed, orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold M has volume at most 1.22 then H1(M ;Zp) has dimension at most 2 for every prime p 6= 2, 7, and H1(M ;Z2) and H1(M ;Z7) have dimension at most 3. The proof combines several deep results about hyperbolic 3-manifolds. The strategy is to compare the volume of a tube about a shortest closed geodesic C ⊂ M with the volumes of tubes about short closed geo...
