The underlying manifold of a low-volume hyperbolic 3-orbifold

David Futer, Peter B. Shalen

This paper proves strong restrictions on the underlying topological space of a closed, orientable hyperbolic 3-orbifold \orbM whose volume satisfies a certain upper bound. For inst…

Hyperbolic manifolds without positive spun triangulations

David Futer, Jessica S. Purcell, Saul Schleimer

Using a result of Choi, we provide the first examples of pairs consisting of a closed hyperbolic three-manifold and a simple closed geodesic, such that there is no positive spun id…

Arithmeticity and commensurability of links in thickened surfaces

David Futer, Rose Kaplan-Kelly

The family of right-angled tiling links consists of links built from regular 4-valent tilings of constant-curvature surfaces that contain one or two types of tiles. The complements…

Excluding cosmetic surgeries on hyperbolic 3-manifolds

David Futer, Jessica S. Purcell, Saul Schleimer

This paper employs knot invariants and results from hyperbolic geometry to develop a practical procedure for checking the cosmetic surgery conjecture on any given one-cusped manifo…

Homotopy equivalent boundaries of cube complexes

Talia Fernós, David Futer, Mark Hagen

A finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex is equipped with several well-studied boundaries. These include the Tits boundary (which depends on the CAT(0) metric), the Roller boun…

Large volume fibred knots of fixed genus

Kenneth L. Baker, David Futer, Jessica S. Purcell +1

We show that, for hyperbolic fibred knots in the three-sphere, the volume and the genus are unrelated. Furthermore, for such knots, the volume is unrelated to strong quasipositivit…
