Local coordinates for SL ( n , C ) -character varieties of finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Pere Menal-Ferrer, Joan Porti (2012)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Given a finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold, we compose a lift of the holonomy in SL ( 2 , C ) with the n -dimensional irreducible representation of SL ( 2 , C ) in SL ( n , C ) . In this paper we give local coordinates of the SL ( n , C ) -character variety around the character of this representation. As a corollary, this representation is isolated among all representations that are unipotent at the cusps.

Local density of diffeomorphisms with large centralizers

Christian Bonatti, Sylvain Crovisier, Gioia M. Vago, Amie Wilkinson (2008)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Given any compact manifold M , we construct a non-empty open subset 𝒪 of the space Diff 1 ( M ) of C 1 -diffeomorphisms and a dense subset 𝒟 𝒪 such that the centralizer of every diffeomorphism in 𝒟 is uncountable, hence non-trivial.

Local moves on knots and products of knots

Louis H. Kauffman, Eiji Ogasa (2014)

Banach Center Publications

We show a relation between products of knots, which are generalized from the theory of isolated singularities of complex hypersurfaces, and local moves on knots in all dimensions. We discuss the following problem. Let K be a 1-knot which is obtained from another 1-knot J by a single crossing change (resp. pass-move). For a given knot A, what kind of relation do the products of knots, K ⊗ A and J ⊗ A, have? We characterize these kinds of relation between K ⊗ A and J ⊗ A by using local moves on high...
