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...
Let be a compact oriented 3-manifold whose boundary contains a single torus and let be a taut foliation on whose restriction to has a Reeb component. The main technical result of the paper, asserts that if is obtained by Dehn filling along any curve not parallel to the Reeb component, then has a taut foliation.
This note gives a complete description of the cohomology algebra of any orientable Seifert manifold with ℤ/p coefficients, for an arbitrary prime p. As an application, the existence of a degree one map from an orientable Seifert manifold onto a lens space is completely determined. A second application shows that the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category for a large class of Seifert manifolds is equal to 3, which in turn is used to verify the Ganea conjecture for these Seifert manifolds.
We prove the “End Curve Theorem,” which states that a normal surface singularity
with rational homology sphere link is a splice quotient singularity if and only if it has
an end curve function for each leaf of a good resolution tree.
An “end curve function” is an analytic function whose zero set intersects in the knot given by a meridian curve of the exceptional curve corresponding to the given leaf.
A “splice quotient singularity” is described by giving an explicit set of equations describing...
We show that the Fukumoto-Furuta invariant for a rational homology 3-sphere M, which coincides with the Neumann-Siebenmann invariant for a Seifert rational homology 3-sphere, is the same as the Ozsváth-Szabó's correction term derived from the Heegaard Floer homology theory if M is a spherical 3-manifold.
