Tameness on the boundary and Ahlfors' measure conjecture

Jeffrey Brock, Kenneth Bromberg, Richard Evans, Juan Souto (2003)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

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...

Tangle decompositions of satellite knots.

Chuichiro Hayashi, Hiroshi Matsuda, Makoto Ozawa (1999)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We study when an essential tangle decomposition of a satellite knot gives an essential tangle decomposition of the companion knot, that is, when the decomposing sphere can be isotoped to intersect the knotted solid torus identified with the pattern in meridian disks.

The abelianization of the Johnson kernel

Alexandru Dimca, Richard Hain, Stefan Papadima (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove that the first complex homology of the Johnson subgroup of the Torelli group T g is a non-trivial, unipotent T g -module for all g 4 and give an explicit presentation of it as a S y m . H 1 ( T g , C ) -module when g 6 . We do this by proving that, for a finitely generated group G satisfying an assumption close to formality, the triviality of the restricted characteristic variety implies that the first homology of its Johnson kernel is a nilpotent module over the corresponding Laurent polynomial ring, isomorphic to the...
