Overview This has been another excellent year for the Heilbronn Institute, which is now firmly established as a major national mathematical research centre. HIMR has developed a strong brand and is increasingly influential in the UK mathematics community. There is currently an outstanding cohort of Heilbronn Research Fellows doing first-rate research. Recruitment of new Fellows has been most encouraging, as is the fact that many distinguished academic mathematicians continue to work with the Institute. The research culture at HIMR is excellent. Members have expressed a high level of satisfaction. This is especially the case with the Fellows, many of whom have chosen to continue their relationships with the Institute. Our new Fellows come from leading mathematics departments and have excellent academic credentials. Those who left have moved to high-profile groups, including several to permanent academic positions. We currently have 29 Fellows, hosted by 6 universities. We are encouraged by the fact that of the 9 Fellows joining us this year, 5 are women. The achievements of our Fellows this year again range from winning prestigious prizes to publishing in the elite mathematical journals and organising major mathematical meetings.

  • Virtual Properties of 3-Manifolds Dedicated to the Memory of Bill Thurston
    Virtual properties of 3-manifolds dedicated to the memory of Bill Thurston Ian Agol ∗ Abstract. We will discuss the proof of Waldhausen's conjecture that compact aspheri- cal 3-manifolds are virtually Haken, as well as Thurston's conjecture that hyperbolic 3- manifolds are virtually fibered. The proofs depend on major developments in 3-manifold topology of the past decades, including Perelman's resolution of the geometrization con- jecture, results of Kahn and Markovic on the existence of immersed surfaces in hyperbolic 3-manifolds, and Gabai's sutured manifold theory. In fact, we prove a more general the- orem in geometric group theory concerning hyperbolic groups acting on CAT(0) cube complexes, concepts introduced by Gromov. We resolve a conjecture of Dani Wise about these groups, making use of the theory that Wise developed with collaborators including Bergeron, Haglund, Hsu, and Sageev as well as the theory of relatively hyperbolic Dehn filling developed by Groves-Manning and Osin. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010). Primary 57M Keywords. hyperbolic, 3-manifold 1. Introduction In Thurston's 1982 Bulletin of the AMS paper Three Dimensional Manifolds, Kleinian groups, and hyperbolic geometry [118], he asked 24 questions which have guided the last 30 years of research in the field. Four of the questions have to do with \virtual" properties of 3-manifolds: • Question 15 (paraphrased): Are Kleinian groups LERF?

  • Immersing Almost Geodesic Surfaces in a Closed Hyperbolic Three Manifold
    Annals of Mathematics 175 (2012), 1127{1190 http://dx.doi.org/10.4007/annals.2012.175.3.4 Immersing almost geodesic surfaces in a closed hyperbolic three manifold By Jeremy Kahn and Vladimir Markovic Abstract Let M3 be a closed hyperbolic three manifold. We construct closed surfaces that map by immersions into M3 so that for each, one the corre- sponding mapping on the universal covering spaces is an embedding, or, in other words, the corresponding induced mapping on fundamental groups is an injection. 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to prove the following theorem. 3 3 Theorem 1.1. Let M = H =G denote a closed hyperbolic three manifold where G is a Kleinian group, and let " > 0. Then there exists a Riemann 2 surface S" = H =F" where F" is a Fuchsian group and a (1+")-quasiconformal 3 3 −1 map g : @H ! @H , such that the quasifuchsian group g◦F" ◦g is a subgroup 2 of G.(Here we identify the hyperbolic plane H with an oriented geodesic plane 3 2 3 in H and the circle @H with the corresponding circle on the sphere @H .) Remark. In the above theorem the Riemann surface S" has a pants de- composition where all the cuffs have a fixed large length and they are glued by twisting for +1. One can extend the map g to an equivariant diffeomorphism of the hy- 3 perbolic space. This extension defines the map f : S" ! M , and the surface 3 f(S") ⊂ M is an immersed (1+")-quasigeodesic surface. In particular, the sur- 3 face f(S") is essential which means that the induced map f∗ : π1(S") ! π1(M ) is an injection.
