Surfaces with boundary in alternating knot exteriors.
We characterize which automorphisms of an arbitrary complete bipartite graph can be induced by a homeomorphism of some embedding of the graph in S³.
An ordered and oriented 2-component link L in the 3-sphere is said to be achiral if it is ambient isotopic to its mirror image ignoring the orientation and ordering of the components. Kirk-Livingston showed that if L is achiral then the linking number of L is not congruent to 2 modulo 4. In this paper we study orientation-preserving or reversing symmetries of 2-component links, spatial complete graphs on 5 vertices and spatial complete bipartite graphs on 3 + 3 vertices in detail, and determine...
We prove that if a group acts properly and cocompactly on a systolic complex, in whose 1-skeleton there is no isometrically embedded copy of the 1-skeleton of an equilaterally triangulated Euclidean plane, then the group is word-hyperbolic. This was conjectured by D. T. Wise.
Let N be a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold that is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We show N is homeomorphic to the interior of a compact 3-manifold, or tame, if one of the following conditions holds: 1. N has non-empty conformal boundary, 2. N is not homotopy equivalent to a compression body, or 3. N is a strong limit of geometrically finite manifolds. The first case proves Ahlfors’ measure conjecture for kleinian groups in the closure of the geometrically finite...
