Notes on a paper of Mess
Lars Andersson, Thierry Barbot, Riccardo Benedetti +5
These notes are a companion to the article "Lorentz spacetimes of constant curvature" by Geoffrey Mess, which was first written in 1990 but never published. Mess' paper will appear…
New perspectives on self-linking
Ryan Budney, James Conant, Kevin P. Scannell +1
We initiate the study of classical knots through the homotopy class of the n-th evaluation map of the knot, which is the induced map on the compactified n-point configuration space…
3-manifolds which are spacelike slices of flat spacetimes
Kevin P. Scannell
We continue work initiated in a 1990 preprint of Mess giving a geometric parameterization of the moduli space of classical solutions to Einstein's equations in 2+1 dimensions with…
A one-dimensional embedding complex
Kevin P. Scannell, Dev P. Sinha
We give the first explicit computations of rational homotopy groups of spaces of "long knots" in Euclidean spaces. We define a spectral sequence which converges to these rational h…
The grafting map of Teichmuller space
Kevin P. Scannell, Michael Wolf
Grafting is a method of obtaining new projective structures from a hyperbolic structure, basically by gluing a flat cylinder into a surface along a closed geodesic in the hyperboli…
