Abstract

We construct knot invariants from the radical part of projective modules of restricted quantum groups. We also show a relation between these invariants and the colored Alexander invariants.

Quilt decompositions of surfaces and Torelli group action on the extended Hatcher complex

We give a presentation of a groupoid of transformations of quilt decompositions of a surface, which are pants decompositions of the surface with the addition of "seams". We consider colored quilt decompositions of a surface, where one side of a quilt decomposition is colored. We also give a presentation of a groupoid of transformations of colored quilt decompositions of a surface. These presentations of such groupoids are realized by constructing connected and simply-connected two-dimensional cell complexes whose 0-cell are these up-to-isotopy structures on the surface. In the latter part of this paper, we show that Torelli group (or more precisely, a torsion-free subgroup of a mapping class group of a surface) acts on these complexes freely.

Bar cohomology of links: beyond Milnor invariants

We develop bar cohomology of link complements as an invariant of links in homology spheres. In this setting, bar cohomology is a Hopf algebra which is calculable using surfaces and their intersection curves in a link complement. In this first in a sequence of works, we introduce the invariant and show that it defines a canonical subspace of the tensor Hopf algebra, which already encodes information about Milnor's link invariants and provides geometrically significant information beyond them.

Large-scale rank and geometry of the Lipschitz metric on geodesic currents

For a closed orientable surface of genus at least 2, we study the large-scale geometry of the (symmetrized) Lipschitz metric on its space of projective filling geodesic currents. We show that the rank and, hence, asymptotic dimension of the space of filling geodesic currents is infinite. This gives the first example of a natural proper space associated to a closed surface, with a metrically proper isometric action of the mapping class group, that has infinite asymptotic dimension. In contrast, we show that any finite simplex of geodesic currents has rank uniformly bounded above by $8g-9$. We then show a sufficient criterion for its rank and asymptotic dimension to be equal to $8g-9$ and construct examples satisfying it, thus showing the bound is sharp. We further prove that Teichmüller space equipped with the Lipschitz metric has rank equal to $3g-3$. In particular, the space of projective filling geodesic currents and the Teichmüller space are not quasi-isometric.
