Handlebody splittings of compact 3-manifolds with boundary.
The purpose of this paper is to relate several generalizations of the notion of the Heegaard splitting of a closed 3-manifold to compact, orientable 3-manifolds with nonempty boundary.
Heegaard gradient and virtual fibers.
Heegaard splittings of graph manifolds.
Homotopy and isotopy in dimension three.
Homotopy invariance of higher signatures and -manifold groups
For closed oriented manifolds, we establish oriented homotopy invariance of higher signatures that come from the fundamental group of a large class of orientable -manifolds, including the “piecewise geometric” ones in the sense of Thurston. In particular, this class, that will be carefully described, is the class of all orientable -manifolds if the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture is true. In fact, for this type of groups, we show that the Baum-Connes Conjecture With Coefficients holds. The...

Hyperbolic groups with low-dimensional boundary
Hyperbolic knots and cyclic branched covers.
We collect several results on the determination of hyperbolic knots by means of their cyclic branched covers. We construct examples of knots having two common cyclic branched covers. Finally, we briefiy discuss the problem of determination of hyperbolic links.
