On the actions of SO(3) on lens spaces
We study the AJ conjecture that relates the A-polynomial and the colored Jones polynomial of a knot in S³. We confirm the AJ conjecture for (r,2)-cables of the m-twist knot, for all odd integers r satisfying ⎧ (r+8)(r−8m) > 0 if m > 0, ⎨ ⎩ r(r+8m−4) > 0 if m < 0.
Let X be the three-dimensional, complete, nonsingular, complex torus embedding corresponding to a fan and let V be the real part of X (for definitions see [1] or [3]). The aim of this note is to give a simple combinatorial formula for calculating the Betti numbers of V.
It is proved that for every two points in the visual boundary of the universal covering of a -dimensional ideal polyhedron, there is an infinity of paths joining them.
We study the Cantor-Bendixson rank of metabelian and virtually metabelian groups in the space of marked groups, and in particular, we exhibit a sequence of 2-generated, finitely presented, virtually metabelian groups of Cantor-Bendixson rank .
For a codimension foliation on a manifold, defines the Godbillon-Vey class. We show that itself defines a certain cohomology class, via the Cech bicomplex.
