On definite strongly quasipositive links and L-space branched covers
Michel Boileau, Steven Boyer, Cameron McA. Gordon
We investigate the problem of characterising the family of strongly quasipositive links which have definite symmetrised Seifert forms and apply our results to the problem of determ…
Grothendieck rigidity of 3-manifold groups
Michel Boileau, Stefan Friedl
We show that fundamental groups of compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary are Grothendieck rigid.
On the Tits alternative for groups
Michel Boileau, Steven Boyer
We prove the Tits alternative for an almost coherent group which is not virtually properly locally cyclic. In particular, we show that an almost coherent group whic…
Branched covers of quasipositive links and L-spaces
Michel Boileau, Steven Boyer, Cameron McA. Gordon
Let be a oriented link such that , the -fold cyclic cover of branched over , is an L-space for some . We show that if either is a strongly qua…
The virtual Thurston seminorm of 3-manifolds
Michel Boileau, Stefan Friedl
We show that the Thurston seminorms of all finite covers of an aspherical 3-manifold determine whether it is a graph manifold, a mixed 3-manifold or hyperbolic.
Meridional Rank of Knots Whose Exterior is a Graph Manifold
Michel Boileau, Ederson Dutra, Yeonhee Jang +1
We prove for a large class of knots that the meridional rank coincides with the bridge number. This class contains all knots whose exterior is a graph manifold. This gives a partia…
