Deforming abelian elliptic --representations of knot groups
Yi Liu
The following criterion is proved in this paper. If the Alexander polynomial of a knot has a zero of odd order on the complex unit circle, then there exists a contin…

Entropy versus volume via Heegaard diagrams
Yi Liu
The following inequalities are established, improving a former inequality due to Kojima. For any closed arithmetic hyperbolic --manifold fibering over a circle, the entropy of t…
