Estimating the states of the Kauffman bracket skein module

Doug Bullock (1998)

Banach Center Publications

The states of the title are a set of knot types which suffice to create a generating set for the Kauffman bracket skein module of a manifold. The minimum number of states is a topological invariant, but quite difficult to compute. In this paper we show that a set of states determines a generating set for the ring of S L 2 ( C ) characters of the fundamental group, which in turn provides estimates of the invariant.

Euler characteristics of moduli spaces of curves

Gilberto Bini, John Harer (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let M g n be the moduli space of n -pointed Riemann surfaces of genus g . Denote by M g n ¯ the Deligne-Mumford compactification of M g n . In the present paper, we calculate the orbifold and the ordinary Euler characteristic of M g n ¯ for any g and n such that n > 2 - 2 g .

Exotic Deformations of Calabi-Yau Manifolds

Paolo de Bartolomeis, Adriano Tomassini (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We introduce Quantum Inner State manifolds (QIS manifolds) as (compact) 2 n -dimensional symplectic manifolds ( M , κ ) endowed with a κ -tamed almost complex structure J and with a nowhere vanishing and normalized section ϵ of the bundle Λ J n , 0 ( M ) satisfying the condition ¯ J ϵ = 0 .We study the moduli space 𝔐 of QIS deformations of a given Calabi-Yau manifold, computing its tangent space and showing that 𝔐 is non obstructed. Finally, we present several examples of QIS manifolds.

Exponential mixing for the Teichmüller flow

Artur Avila, Sébastien Gouëzel, Jean-Christophe Yoccoz (2006)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

We study the dynamics of the Teichmüller flow in the moduli space of abelian differentials (and more generally, its restriction to any connected component of a stratum). We show that the (Masur-Veech) absolutely continuous invariant probability measure is exponentially mixing for the class of Hölder observables. A geometric consequence is that the S L ( 2 , ) action in the moduli space has a spectral gap.

Filtration de Harder-Narasimhan pour des fibrés complexes ou des faisceaux sans torsion

Laurent Bruasse (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

On généralise dans cet article la notion de filtration de Harder-Narasimhan au cas des fibrés complexes sur une variété presque complexe compacte d'une part, et au cas des faisceaux cohérents sans torsion sur une variété holomorphe d'autre part. On démontre, dans les deux cas, l'existence d'un déstabilisant maximal. On obtient un théorème de convergence en famille et par là-même l'ouverture de la stabilité en déformation.

Finiteness results for Teichmüller curves

Martin Möller (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that for each genus there are only finitely many algebraically primitive Teichmüller curves C , such that (i) C lies in the hyperelliptic locus and (ii) C is generated by an abelian differential with two zeros of order g - 1 . We prove moreover that for these Teichmüller curves the trace field of the affine group is not only totally real but cyclotomic.
