Smoothing of real algebraic hypersurfaces by rigid isotopies

Alexander Nabutovsky (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Define for a smooth compact hypersurface M n of R n + 1 its crumpleness κ ( M n ) as the ratio diam R n + 1 ( M n ) / r ( M n ) , where r ( M n ) is the distance from M n to its central set. (In other words, r ( M n ) is the maximal radius of an open non-selfintersecting tube around M n in R n + 1 . ) We prove that any n -dimensional non-singular compact algebraic hypersurface of degree d is rigidly isotopic to an algebraic hypersurface of degree d and of crumpleness exp ( c ( n ) d α ( n ) d n + 1 ) . Here c ( n ) , α ( n ) depend only on n , and rigid isotopy means an isotopy passing only through hypersurfaces of degree...

Straightening cell decompositions of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Marina Pescini (1998)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Let M be an oriented cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold and let τ be a topological ideal triangulation of M . We give a characterization for τ to be isotopic to an ideal geodesic triangulation; moreover we give a characterization for τ to flatten into a partially flat triangulation. Finally we prove that straightening combinatorially equivalent topological ideal cell decompositions gives the same geodesic decomposition, up to isometry.

Two-fold branched coverings of S3 have type six.

Maria Rita Casali (1992)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

In this work, we prove that every closed, orientable 3-manifold M3 which is a two-fold covering of S3 branched over a link, has type six.
