Overview of Activities This annual report covers MSRI projects and activities that concluded during the third year of the NSF core grant, 2007-2008. 1.1 New Developments and Demographic Data Groups and discrete structures were fundamental research themes for the year 2007-2008. It was a year rich in cross-disciplinary collaborations and notable for the consistently high volume of seminars and study groups. This was also the year that we deepened our commitment to the mathematics of Climate Change, one of the most interdisciplinary and compelling set of problems that we now face. The goal is to grab graduate student’s attention and give

  • Hyperbolic Manifolds: an Introduction in 2 and 3 Dimensions Albert Marden Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-11674-0 - Hyperbolic Manifolds: An Introduction in 2 and 3 Dimensions Albert Marden Frontmatter More information HYPERBOLIC MANIFOLDS An Introduction in 2 and 3 Dimensions Over the past three decades there has been a total revolution in the classic branch of mathematics called 3-dimensional topology, namely the discovery that most solid 3-dimensional shapes are hyperbolic 3-manifolds. This book introduces and explains hyperbolic geometry and hyperbolic 3- and 2-dimensional manifolds in the first two chapters, and then goes on to develop the subject. The author discusses the profound discoveries of the astonishing features of these 3-manifolds, helping the reader to understand them without going into long, detailed formal proofs. The book is heav- ily illustrated with pictures, mostly in color, that help explain the manifold properties described in the text. Each chapter ends with a set of Exercises and Explorations that both challenge the reader to prove assertions made in the text, and suggest fur- ther topics to explore that bring additional insight. There is an extensive index and bibliography. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-11674-0 - Hyperbolic Manifolds: An Introduction in 2 and 3 Dimensions Albert Marden Frontmatter More information [Thurston’s Jewel (JB)(DD)] Thurston’s Jewel: Illustrated is the convex hull of the limit set of a kleinian group G associated with a hyperbolic manifold M(G) with a single, incompressible boundary component.

  • Finite Type Invariants for Knots 3-Manifolds
    Pergamon Topology Vol. 37, No. 3. PP. 673-707, 1998 ~2 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd Printed in Great Britain. All rights reserved 0040-9383/97519.00 + 0.00 PII: soo4o-9383(97)00034-7 FINITE TYPE INVARIANTS FOR KNOTS IN 3-MANIFOLDS EFSTRATIA KALFAGIANNI + (Received 5 November 1993; in revised form 4 October 1995; final version 16 February 1997) We use the Jaco-Shalen and Johannson theory of the characteristic submanifold and the Torus theorem (Gabai, Casson-Jungreis)_ to develop an intrinsic finite tvne__ theory for knots in irreducible 3-manifolds. We also establish a relation between finite type knot invariants in 3-manifolds and these in R3. As an application we obtain the existence of non-trivial finite type invariants for knots in irreducible 3-manifolds. 0 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved 0. INTRODUCTION The theory of quantum groups gives a systematic way of producing families of polynomial invariants, for knots and links in [w3 or S3 (see for example [18,24]). In particular, the Jones polynomial [12] and its generalizations [6,13], can be obtained that way. All these Jones-type invariants are defined as state models on a knot diagram or as traces of a braid group representation. On the other hand Vassiliev [25,26], introduced vast families of numerical knot invariants (Jinite type invariants), by studying the topology of the space of knots in [w3. The compu- tation of these invariants, involves in an essential way the computation of related invariants for special knotted graphs (singular knots). It is known [l-3], that after a suitable change of variable the coefficients of the power series expansions of the Jones-type invariants, are of Jinite type.

  • Representations of Finite Groups
    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 15/2006 Representations of Finite Groups Organised by Alexander S. Kleshchev (Eugene) Markus Linckelmann (Aberdeen) Gunter Malle (Kaiserslautern) Jeremy Rickard (Bristol) March 26th – April 1st, 2006 Abstract. The workshop ”Representations of finite groups” was organized by A. Kleshchev (Eugene), M. Linckelmann (Aberdeen), G. Malle (Kaiser- slautern) and J. Rickard (Bristol). It covered a wide variety of aspects of the representation theory of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 20-06 20Cxx. Introduction by the Organisers The meeting was organized by A. Kleshchev (Eugene), M. Linckelmann (Ab- erdeen), G. Malle (Kaiserslautern) and J. Rickard (Bristol). This meeting was attended by over 50 participants with broad geographic representation. It covered a wide variety of aspects of the representation theory of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras. This workshop was sponsored by a project of the Eu- ropean Union which allowed us to invite in addition to established researchers also a couple of young people working on a PhD in representation theory. In eleven longer lectures of 40 minutes each and twentytwo shorter contributions of 30 min- utes each, recent progress in representation theory was presented and interesting new research directions were proposed. Besides the lectures, there was plenty of time for informal discussion between the participants, either continuing ongoing research cooperation or starting new projects. The topics of the talks came roughly from two major areas: on the one hand side, the investigation of representation theoretic properties of general finite groups and related objects, on the other hand the determination and detailed analysis of representations of special classes of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras.

  • Torification and Factorization of Birational Maps 3
    TORIFICATION AND FACTORIZATION OF BIRATIONAL MAPS DAN ABRAMOVICH, KALLE KARU, KENJI MATSUKI, AND JAROSLAW WLODARCZYK Abstract. Building on work of the fourth author in [69], we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero is a composite of blowings up and blowings down with smooth centers. Contents 0. Introduction 1 1. Preliminaries 5 2. Birational Cobordisms 10 3. Torification 16 4. A proof of the weak factorization theorem 22 5. Generalizations 24 6. Problems related to weak factorization 27 References 28 0. Introduction We work over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0. We denote the multiplicative group of K by K∗. 0.1. Statement of the main result. The purpose of this paper is to give a proof for the following weak factorization conjecture of birational maps. We note that another proof of this theorem was given by the fourth author in [70]. See section 0.12 for a brief comparison of the two approaches. Theorem 0.1.1 (Weak Factorization). Let φ : X1 99K X2 be a birational map between complete nonsingular algebraic varieties X1 and X2 over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic zero, and let U ⊂ X1 be an open set where φ is an isomorphism. Then φ can be factored into a sequence of blowings up and blowings arXiv:math/9904135v4 [math.AG] 31 May 2000 down with smooth irreducible centers disjoint from U, namely, there exists a sequence of birational maps between complete nonsingular algebraic varieties ϕ1 ϕ2 ϕi ϕi+1 ϕi+2 ϕl−1 ϕl X1 = V0 99K V1 99K · · · 99K Vi 99K Vi+1 99K · · · 99K Vl−1 99K Vl = X2 where 1.
