Geometrization of Three-dimensional Orbifolds via Ricci Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
A three-dimensional closed orientable orbifold (with no bad suborbifolds) is known to have a geometric decomposition from work of Perelman [50, 51] in the manifold case, along with earlier work of Boileau-Leeb-Porti [4], Boileau-Maillot-Porti [5], BoileauPorti [6], Cooper-Hodgson-Kerckhoff [19] and Thurston [59]. We give a new, logically independent, unified proof of the geometrization of orbifolds, using Ricci flow. Along the way we develop some tools for the geometry of orbifolds that may be of independent interest.

متن کاملThe Moduli Space of Hyperbolic Cone Structures
Introduction. Roughly speaking, a cone structure is a manifold together with a link each of whose component has a cone angle attached. It is a kind of singular manifold structure. If each cone angle is of the form 2π/n, for some integer n, the cone structure becomes an orbifold structure. Unlike an orbifold structure, the cone structure is not a natural concept, but it turns out to be very impo...

These are notes on Perelman’s papers “The Entropy Formula for the Ricci Flow and its Geometric Applications” [51] and “Ricci Flow with Surgery on Three-Manifolds’ [52]. In these two remarkable preprints, which were posted on the ArXiv in 2002 and 2003, Grisha Perelman announced a proof of the Poincaré Conjecture, and more generally Thurston’s Geometrization Conjecture, using the Ricci flow appr...

متن کاملEvolution of the first eigenvalue of buckling problem on Riemannian manifold under Ricci flow
Among the eigenvalue problems of the Laplacian, the biharmonic operator eigenvalue problems are interesting projects because these problems root in physics and geometric analysis. The buckling problem is one of the most important problems in physics, and many studies have been done by the researchers about the solution and the estimate of its eigenvalue. In this paper, first, we obtain the evol...
