A new algorithm for 3-sphere recognition
Michael Heusener, Raphael Zentner
We prove the existence of a new algorithm for 3-sphere recognition based on Groebner basis methods applied to the variety of $\text{\em SL}(2,\C)$-representation of the fundamental…

Khovanov width and dealternation number of positive braid links
Sebastian Baader, Peter Feller, Lukas Lewark +1
We give asymptotically sharp upper bounds for the Khovanov width and the dealternation number of positive braid links, in terms of their crossing number. The same braid-theoretic t…

Integer homology 3-spheres admit irreducible representations in SL(2,C)
Raphael Zentner
We prove that the fundamental group of any integer homology 3-sphere different from the 3-sphere admits irreducible representations of its fundamental group in SL(2,C). For hyperbo…
