Construction of Einstein metrics by generalized Dehn filling
In this paper, we present a new approach to the construction of Einstein metrics by a generalization of Thurston's Dehn filling. In particular in dimension 3, we will obtain an analytic proof of Thurston's result.
Contact topology and the structure of 5-manifolds with
We prove a structure theorem for closed, orientable 5-manifolds with fundamental group and second Stiefel-Whitney class equal to zero on . This structure theorem is then used to construct contact structures on such manifolds by applying contact surgery to fake projective spaces and certain -quotients of .
Curvature, tangentiality, and controlled topology.
Cyclic branched coverings of 2-bridge knots.
In this paper we study the connections between cyclic presentations of groups and the fundamental group of cyclic branched coverings of 2-bridge knots. Then we show that the topology of these manifolds (and knots) arises, in a natural way, from the algebraic properties of such presentations.
