Arc-presentations of links: Monotonic simplification

I. A. Dynnikov (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In the early 90's J. Birman and W. Menasco worked out a nice technique for studying links presented in the form of a closed braid. The technique is based on certain foliated surfaces and uses tricks similar to those that were introduced earlier by D. Bennequin. A few years later P. Cromwell adapted Birman-Menasco's method for studying so-called arc-presentations of links and established some of their basic properties. Here we further develop that technique and the theory of arc-presentations, and...

Around the Borromean link.

José María Montesinos Amilibia (2008)

RACSAM

This is a survey of some consequences of the fact that the fundamental group of the orbifold with singular set the Borromean link and isotropy cyclic of order 4 is a universal kleinian group.

Asphericity of symmetric presentations

Fulvia Spaggiari (2006)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Using the notion of relative presentation due to Bogley and Pride, we give a new proof of a theorem of Prishchepov on the asphericity of certain symmetric presentations of groups. Then we obtain further results and applications to topology of low-dimensional manifolds.

Asymptotic dimension of discrete groups

A. Dranishnikov, J. Smith (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We extend Gromov's notion of asymptotic dimension of finitely generated groups to all discrete groups. In particular, we extend the Hurewicz type theorem proven in [B-D2] to general groups. Then we use this extension to prove a formula for the asymptotic dimension of finitely generated solvable groups in terms of their Hirsch length.

Asymptotic laws for geodesic homology on hyperbolic manifolds with cusps

Martine Babillot, Marc Peigné (2006)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We consider a large class of non compact hyperbolic manifolds M = n / Γ with cusps and we prove that the winding process ( Y t ) generated by a closed 1 -form supported on a neighborhood of a cusp 𝒞 , satisfies a limit theorem, with an asymptotic stable law and a renormalising factor depending only on the rank of the cusp 𝒞 and the Poincaré exponent δ of Γ . No assumption on the value of δ is required and this theorem generalises previous results due to Y. Guivarc’h, Y. Le Jan, J. Franchi and N. Enriquez.

Asymptotic Vassiliev invariants for vector fields

Sebastian Baader, Julien Marché (2012)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We analyse the asymptotical growth of Vassiliev invariants on non-periodic flow lines of ergodic vector fields on domains of 3 . More precisely, we show that the asymptotics of Vassiliev invariants is completely determined by the helicity of the vector field.

Au bord de certains polyèdres hyperboliques

Marc Bourdon (1995)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Le cadre de cet article est celui des groupes et des espaces hyperboliques de M.  Gromov. Il est motivé par la question suivante : comment différencier deux groupes hyperboliques à quasi-isométrie près ? On illustre ce problème en détaillant un exemple de M. Gromov issu de Asymptotic invariants for infinite groups. On décrit une famille infinie de groupes hyperboliques, deux à deux non quasi-isométriques, de bord la courbe de Menger. La méthode consiste à étudier leur structure quasi-conforme au...
