چکیده

In this paper, we show that a class of 2-dimensional locally CAT(-1) spaces is topologically rigid: isomorphism of the fundamental groups is equivalent to the spaces being homeomorphic. An immediate application of this result is a diagram rigidity theorem for certain amalgamations of free groups. The direct limit of two such amalgamations are isomorphic if and only if there is an isomorphism between the respective diagrams.

Diagram rigidity for geometric amalgamations of free groups

In this paper, we show that a class of 2-dimensional locally CAT(-1) spaces is topologically rigid: isomorphism of the fundamental groups is equivalent to the spaces being homeomorphic. An immediate application of this result is a diagram rigidity theorem for certain amalgamations of free groups. The direct limits of two such amalgamations are isomorphic if and only if there is an isomorphism b...

2 4 Ju n 20 05 MEASURE RIGIDITY AND p - ADIC LITTLEWOOD - TYPE PROBLEMS

The paper investigates various p-adic versions of Littlewood’s conjecture, generalizing a set-up considered recently by de Mathan and Teulié. In many cases it is shown that the sets of exceptions to these conjectures have Hausdorff dimension zero. The proof follows the measure ridigity approach of Einsiedler, Katok and Lindenstrauss.

1 3 Ju n 20 05 Strong Jordan separation and applications to rigidity .

In this paper, we extend the results of [14] to higher dimension. We prove that simple, thick hyperbolic P-manifolds of dimension ≥ 3 exhibit Mostow rigidity. We also prove a quasi-isometry rigidity result for the fundamental groups of simple, thick hyperbolic P-manifolds of dimension ≥ 3. The key tool in the proof of these rigidity results is a strong form of the Jordan separation theorem, for...

Ju n 20 05 Singular surfaces , mod 2 homology , and hyperbolic volume , I

The main theorem of this paper states that if M is a closed orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold such that the rank of H1(M ;Z/2Z) is at least 11, then VolM > 3.08. The theorem depends on a purely topological result which can be viewed as an analogue of Dehn’s lemma for π1-injective singular surfaces of genus 2. The proof of the main theorem combines this topological result with several deep geomet...
