Abstract

We study some properties of transverse contact structures on small Seifert manifolds, and we apply them to the classification of tight contact structures on a family of small Seifert manifolds.

3d Super Hyperbolic Geometry

Wigner's unitary representation of the Lorentz group is extended to a representation of the complex orthosymplectic Lie supergroup (\operatorname{OSp}_{\mathbb C}(1|2)) acting on Minkowski ((3,1|4))-dimensional superspace essentially by Hermitian conjugation. The invariant quadratic form is[x_1x_2-x\bar x+ϕψ+\barϕ\barψ]in Wigner's real coordinates (x_1,x_2) and complex coordinate (x), where (ϕ) and (ψ) are Dirac fermions. The extended action is linear in the superspace variables, but not quadratic in the odd group variables, and is described by an explicit even purely imaginary auxiliary parameter defined on the product of the Lie supergroup with its Lie algebra. This extension of Wigner's representation opens the door to the study of geometry in super hyperbolic three-space, initiated here with foundations on super geodesics, triangles, and tetrahedra, together with an analysis of ideal tetrahedra and a discussion of the nonzero fermionic correction to the Schläfli formula. This version includes a corrigendum that does not materially affect the main results, except for the claimed divergence of the volume of an ideal tetrahedron: the earlier divergence computation was correct as a calculation, but was carried out for an incorrect differential form.

Seifert cobordisms and the Chen-Yang volume conjecture

We study the large $r$ asymptotic behavior of the Turaev-Viro invariants $TV_r(M; e^{\frac{2πi}{r}})$ of 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary, under the operation of gluing a Seifert-fibered 3-manifold along a component of $\partial M$. We show that the Turaev-Viro invariants volume conjecture is closed under this operation. As an application we prove the volume conjecture for all Seifert fibered 3-manifolds with boundary and for large classes of graph 3-manifolds.

Equivariant lattice homology for Seifert homology 3-spheres

We develop an $S^1 \times \mathbb{Z}_p$-equivariant refinement of the lattice homotopy type for Seifert homology 3-spheres equipped with the Seifert $\mathbb{Z}_p$-action. We construct an equivariant comparison map to the $S^1 \times \mathbb{Z}_p$-equivariant Seiberg--Witten Floer spectrum that becomes an $S^1$-equivariant stable homotopy equivalence after forgetting the $\mathbb{Z}_p$-action, yielding a combinatorial description of its Borel equivariant cohomology.
