Knot complements decomposing into prisms

Jason DeBlois, Arshia Gharagozlou, Neil R Hoffman

We describe four hyperbolic knot complements in , each of which covers a prism orbifold: the quotient of by the action of a discrete group generated by…

Mixed-platonic 3-manifolds

Eric Chesebro, Michelle Chu, Jason DeBlois +3

We introduce a class of cusped hyperbolic -manifolds that we call mixed-platonic, composed of regular ideal hyperbolic polyhedra of more than one type, which includes certain pr…

Volume and topology of bounded and closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds, II

Jason DeBlois, Peter B. Shalen

Let be a compact, orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold whose boundary is a connected totally geodesic surface of genus . If has Heegaard genus at least , then its volume…

Trigonometry of partially truncated triangles and tetrahedra

Jason DeBlois

The first main results of this note establish forms of the hyperbolic laws of cosines and sines for certain classes of quadrilaterals and pentagons in the hyperbolic plane, having…

Dehn surgery and hyperbolic knot complements without hidden symmetries

Eric Chesebro, Jason DeBlois, Neil R Hoffman +3

Neumann and Reid conjecture that there are exactly three knot complements which admit hidden symmetries. This paper establishes several results that provide evidence for the conjec…

Generic hyperbolic knot complements without hidden symmetries

Eric Chesebro, Jason DeBlois, Priyadip Mondal

We establish a pair of criteria for proving that most knot complements obtained as Dehn fillings of a given two-component hyperbolic link complement lack hidden symmetries. To do t…

The maximal injectivity radius of hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary

Jason DeBlois, Kim Romanelli

We give sharp upper bounds on the injectivity radii of complete hyperbolic surfaces of finite area with some geodesic boundary components. The given bounds are over all such surfac…

Effective virtual and residual properties of some arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Jason DeBlois, Nicholas Miller, Priyam Patel

We give an effective upper bound, for certain arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold groups obtained from a quadratic form construction, on the minimal index of a subgroup that embeds in…

Incompressible solvable representations of surface groups

Jason DeBlois, Daniel Gomez

The fundamental group of every surface that is not the projective plane or Klein bottle has a representation to a torsion-free group of upper-triangular matrices in SL(2,R) with no…

Bounds for several-disk packings of hyperbolic surfaces

Jason DeBlois

For any given natural number , this paper gives upper bounds on the radius of a packing of a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area by equal-radius disks in terms of the…

The local maxima of maximal injectivity radius among hyperbolic surfaces

Jason DeBlois

The function on the Teichmueller space of complete, orientable, finite-area hyperbolic surfaces of a fixed topological type that assigns to a hyperbolic surface its maximal injecti…

Hidden symmetries via hidden extensions

Eric Chesebro, Jason DeBlois

This paper introduces a new approach to finding knots and links with hidden symmetries using "hidden extensions", a class of hidden symmetries defined here. We exhibit a family of…

Explicit rank bounds for cyclic covers

Jason DeBlois

Let be a closed, orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold and a homomorphism of its fundamental group onto that is not induced by a fibration over the circle. For each…

The centered dual and the maximal injectivity radius of hyperbolic surfaces

Jason DeBlois

We give sharp upper bounds on the maximal injectivity radius of finite-area hyperbolic surfaces and use them, for each g at least 2, to identify a constant r_{g-1,2} with the prope…

The Delaunay tessellation in hyperbolic space

Jason DeBlois

The Delaunay tessellation of a locally finite subset of hyperbolic space is constructed using convex hulls in Euclidean space of one higher dimension. For finite and lattice-invari…

Rank gradients of infinite cyclic covers of 3-manifolds

Jason DeBlois, Stefan Friedl, Stefano Vidussi

Given a 3-manifold M with no spherical boundary components, and a primitive class ϕin H^1(M;Z), we show that the following are equivalent: (1) ϕis a fibered class, (2) the rank gra…

Algebraic invariants, mutation, and commensurability of link complements

Eric Chesebro, Jason DeBlois

We construct a family of hyperbolic link complements by gluing tangles along totally geodesic four-punctured spheres, then investigate the commensurability relation among its membe…

Tessellations of hyperbolic surfaces

Jason DeBlois

A finite subset S of a closed hyperbolic surface F canonically determines a "centered dual decomposition" of F: a cell structure with vertex set S, geodesic edges, and 2-cells that…

The geometry of cyclic hyperbolic polygons

Jason DeBlois

A hyperbolic polygon is defined to be cyclic, horocyclic, or equidistant if its vertices lie on a metric circle, horocycle, or a component of the equidistant locus to a hyperbolic…

Some virtually special hyperbolic 3-manifold groups

Eric Chesebro, Jason DeBlois, Henry Wilton

Let M be a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume that admits a decomposition into right-angled ideal polyhedra. We show that M has a deformation retraction that is a virt…

Volume and topology of bounded and closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Let N be a compact, orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold with connected, totally geodesic boundary of genus 2. If N has Heegaard genus at least 5, then its volume is greater than 6.89.…

Incompressible surfaces, hyperbolic volume, Heegaard genus and homology

Marc Culler, Jason DeBlois, Peter B. Shalen

We show that if M is a complete, finite-volume, hyperbolic 3-manifold having exactly one cusp, and if H_1(M;Z_2) has dimension at least 6, then M has volume greater than 5.06. We a…

On the doubled tetrus

The tetrus is a sort of big brother to the tripus, W.P. Thurston's example of a compact hyperbolic 3-manifold with totally geodesic boundary. We describe a sixfold cover of the dou…
