Gauss Diagrams of 3-manifolds

چکیده
The paper presents a simple combinatorial method to encode 3-dimensional manifolds, basing on their Heegaard diagrams. The notion of a Gauss diagram of a 3-manifold is introduced. We check the conditions for a Gauss diagram to represent a closed manifold and a manifold with boundary.

Grid Diagrams in Heegaard Floer Theory
We review the use of grid diagrams in the development of Heegaard Floer theory. We describe the construction of the combinatorial link Floer complex, and the resulting algorithm for unknot detection. We also explain how grid diagrams can be used to show that the Heegaard Floer invariants of 3-manifolds and 4-manifolds are algorithmically computable (mod 2).
متن کاملComplexity, Heegaard Diagrams and Generalized Dunwoody Manifolds
We deal with Matveev complexity of compact orientable 3-manifolds represented via Heegaard diagrams. This lead us to the definition of modified Heegaard complexity of Heegaard diagrams and of manifolds. We define a class of manifolds which are generalizations of Dunwoody manifolds, including cyclic branched coverings of two-bridge knots and links, torus knots, some pretzel knots, and some theta...
متن کاملLinking Integral Projection
The linking integral is an invariant of the link-type of two manifolds immersed in a Euclidean space. It is shown that the ordinary Gauss integral in three dimensions may be simplified to a winding number integral in two dimensions. This result is then generalized to show that in certain circumstances the linking integral between arbitrary manifolds may be similarly reduced to a lower dimension...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry of Calabi-Yau Manifolds and Flat Coordinates
We study mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds within the framework of the Gauss-Manin system. Applying the flat coordinates to the Gauss-Manin system for the periods, we derive differential equations for the mirror map in addition to the ordinary Picard-Fuchs equations for the periods. These equations are obtained for a class of one-parameter models and a two-parameter model of Fermat type C...
متن کاملThe Gauss–Bonnet theorem for cone manifolds and volumes of moduli spaces
This paper generalizes the Gauss–Bonnet formula to a class of stratified spaces called Riemannian cone–manifolds. As an application, we compute the volumes of the moduli spaces M0,n with respect to the complex hyperbolic metrics introduced by Picard, Deligne–Mostow and Thurston.
