Conjugacy for positive permutation braids

Hugh R. Morton, Richard J. Hadji (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Positive permutation braids on n strings, which are defined to be positive n-braids where each pair of strings crosses at most once, form the elementary but non-trivial building blocks in many studies of conjugacy in the braid groups. We consider conjugacy among these elementary braids which close to knots, and show that those which close to the trivial knot or to the trefoil are all conjugate. All such n-braids with the maximum possible crossing number are also shown to be conjugate. ...

Constructing equivariant maps for representations

Stefano Francaviglia (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that if Γ is a discrete subgroup of the group of the isometries of k , and if ρ is a representation of Γ into the group of the isometries of n , then any ρ -equivariant map F : k n extends to the boundary in a weak sense in the setting of Borel measures. As a consequence of this fact, we obtain an extension of a result of Besson, Courtois and Gallot about the existence of volume non-increasing, equivariant maps. Then, we show that the weak extension we obtain is actually a measurable ρ -equivariant...

Construction of Einstein metrics by generalized Dehn filling

Richard H. Bamler (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

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.
