A new invariant on hyperbolic Dehn surgery space
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we define a new invariant of the incomplete hyperbolic structures on a 1-cusped finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M , called the ortholength invariant. We show that away from a (possibly empty) subvariety of excluded values this invariant both locally parameterises equivalence classes of hyperbolic structures and is a complete invariant of the Dehn fillings of M which admit a hyperbolic structure. We also give an explicit formula for the ortholength invariant in terms of the traces of the holonomies of certain loops in M . Conjecturally this new invariant is intimately related to the boundary of the hyperbolic Dehn surgery space of M . AMS Classification 57M50; 57M27

Algebro-geometric Invariant of Knots
In this paper, we define a new algebro-geometric invariant of 3-manifolds resulting from the Dehn surgery along a hyperbolic knot complement in S. We establish a Casson type invariant for these 3-manifolds. In the last section, we explicitly calculate the character variety of the figure-eight knot and discuss some applications, as well as the computation of our new invariants for some 3-manifol...
متن کاملDehn Filling and Einstein Metrics in Higher Dimensions
We prove that many features of Thurston’s Dehn surgery theory for hyperbolic 3manifolds generalize to Einstein metrics in any dimension. In particular, this gives large, infinite families of new Einstein metrics on compact manifolds.
متن کاملHyperbolic 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.
متن کاملA Note on Lens Space Surgeries: Orders of Fundamental Groups versus Seifert Genera
Let K be a non-trivial knot in the 3-sphere with a lens space surgery and L(p, q) a lens space obtained by a Dehn surgery on K. We study a relationship between the order |p| of the fundamental group of L(p, q) and the Seifert genus g of K. Considering certain infinite families of knots with lens space surgeries, the following estimation is suggested as a conjecture: 2g + 2 √ 40g + 1 5 + 3 5 ≤ |...
متن کاملFinite Dehn Surgery on Knots
Let K be a knot with a closed tubular neighbourhood N(K) in a connected orientable closed 3-manifold W , such that the exterior of K, M = W − intN(K), is irreducible. We consider the problem of which Dehn surgeries on K, or equivalently, which Dehn fillings on M , can produce 3-manifolds with finite fundamental group. For convenience, a surgery is called a G-surgery if the resultant 3-manifold ...
