2 00 8 Perelman ’ S Invariant and Collapse via Geometric Characteristic Splittings

چکیده
Any closed orientable and smooth non-positively curved manifold M is known to admit a geometric characteristic splitting, analogous to the JSJ decomposition in three dimensions. We show that when this splitting consists of pieces which are Seifert fibered or pieces each of whose fundamental group has non-trivial centre, M collapses with bounded curvature and has zero Perelman invariant.

Young Diagrams, Standard Monomials and Invariant Theory
The topics I want to treat have various sources: (1) the fundamental theorems of invariant theory of the classical groups, (2) the representation theory of classical groups, (3) the geometry of the Grassmann and flag varieties. The initial interest in these questions came for me from the solution given by Formanek and myself, [8], of Mumford's conjecture for the linear group, [25], obtained ind...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 8 Trees of cylinders and canonical splittings
Let T be a tree with an action of a finitely generated group G. Given a suitable equivalence relation on the set of edge stabilizers of T (such as commensurability, co-elementarity in a relatively hyperbolic group, or commutation in a commutative transitive group), we define a tree of cylinders T c. This tree only depends on the deformation space of T ; in particular, it is invariant under auto...

We discuss some of the key ideas of Perelman's proof of Poincaré's conjecture via the Hamilton program of using the Ricci flow, from the perspective of the modern theory of nonlinear partial differential equations.
متن کاملProblems around 3–manifolds
This is a personal view of some problems on minimal surfaces, Ricci flow, polyhedral geometric structures, Haken 4–manifolds, contact structures and Heegaard splittings, singular incompressible surfaces after the Hamilton–Perelman revolution. We give sets of problems based on the following themes; Minimal surfaces and hyperbolic geometry of 3–manifolds. In particular, how do minimal surfaces gi...
