Abstract:

The bitwist construction, originally discovered by Cannon, Floyd, and Parry, gives us a new method for finding face pairing descriptions of 3-manifolds. In this paper, I will describe the construction in a way suitable for a more general audience than the original research papers. Along the way, I will describe Dehn Surgery and a set of moves which allows us to change the framings of a link without changing the topology of the manifold obtained by Dehn Surgery. Once the theory has been developed, I will apply it to find several bitwist representations of the PoincarÃ© Sphere and 3-Torus. Fina

Abstract:

This thesis consists of three applications of Ranicki's algebraic theory of surgery to the topology of manifolds. The common theme is a decomposition of a global algebraic object into simple local pieces which models the decomposition of a global topological object into simple local pieces. Part I: Algebraic reconstruction of 4-manifolds. We extend the product and glueing constructions for symmetric Poincaré complexes, pairs and triads to a thickening construction for a symmetric Poincaré representation of a quiver. Gay and Kirby showed that, subject to certain conditions, the fold curves an

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Robert Meyerhoff<br>Thurston showed that for all but a finite number of Dehn Surgeries on a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold, the resulting manifold admits a hyperbolic structure. Global bounds on this number have been set, and gradually improved upon, by a number of Mathematicians until Lackenby and Meyerhoff proved the sharp bound of 10, which is realized by the figure-eight knot exterior. We improve this result by proving a stronger version of Gordon’s conjecture: that excluding the figure-eight knot exterior, cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds have at most 8 non-hyperbolic Dehn Surg

Abstract:

Since our world is experienced locally in three-dimensional space, students of mathematics struggle to visualize and understand objects which do not fit into three-dimensional space. 3-manifolds are locally three-dimensional, but do not fit into 3-dimensional space and can be very complicated. Twist and bitwist are simple constructions that provide an easy path to both creating and understanding closed, orientable 3-manifolds. By starting with simple face pairings on a 3-ball, a myriad of 3-manifolds can be easily constructed. In fact, all closed, connected, orientable 3-manifolds can be devel

Abstract:

Let n > 1. We prove a homological stability theorem for the diffeomorphism groups of (4n+1)-dimensional manifolds, with respect to forming the connected sum with (2n-1)-connected, (4n+1)-dimensional manifolds that are stably parallelizable. Our techniques involve the study of the action of the diffeomorphism group of a manifold M on the linking form associated to the homology groups of M. In order to study this action we construct a geometric model for the linking form using the intersections of embedded and immersed Z/k-manifolds. In addition to our main homological sta

Abstract:

This thesis is devoted to the study of the effect of Legendrian surgery on contact manifolds. In particular, we study the effect of this surgery on the Reeb dynamics of the contact manifold on which we perform such a surgery along Legendrian links. We obtain an exact sequence of cyclic Legendrian homology for the Legendrian links. Then we present the applications in 3-dimension and higher dimensions.<br>Doctorat en Sciences<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Joshua E. Greene<br>We construct taut foliations in every closed 3-manifold obtained by r-framed Dehn surgery along a positive 3-braid knot K in S^3, where r < 2g(K)-1 and g(K) denotes the Seifert genus of K. This confirms a prediction of the L--space conjecture. For instance, we produce taut foliations in every non-L-space obtained by surgery along the pretzel knot P(-2,3,7), and indeed along every pretzel knot P(-2,3,q), for q a positive odd integer. This is the first construction of taut foliations for every non-L-space obtained by surgery along an infinite family of hype

Abstract:

We prove a general theorem on the behavior of the relative index under surgery for a wide class of Fredholm operators, including relative index theorems for elliptic operators due to Gromov-Lawson, Anghel, Teleman, Booß-Bavnbek-Wojciechowski, et al. as special cases. In conjunction with additional conditions (like symmetry conditions), this theorem permits one to compute the analytical index of a given operator. In particular, we obtain new index formulas for elliptic pseudodifferential operators and quantized canonical transformations on manifolds with conical singularities.
