Arithmeticity, superrigidity, and totally geodesic submanifolds of infinite-volume hyperbolic manifolds

Abstract

Given an infinite-volume convex cocompact hyperbolic manifold with Fuchsian ends and infinitely many maximal properly immersed totally geodesic submanifolds of dimension at least two intersecting its convex core, we show that it (infinitely) covers an arithmetic hyperbolic manifold. This answers the general version of a question of Oh. As a byproduct of our techniques, we also give a Ratner-type classification of $\mathrm{SO}_0(m,1)$-invariant Radon measures whose support intersects the frame bundle of the interior of the convex core.

Small symplectic $4$-manifolds via contact gluing and some applications

We introduce a streamlined procedure for constructing small symplectic $4$-manifolds via contact gluing, based on a technique invented by David Gay around 2000. We give several applications of this procedure, which include results concerning embeddings of singular Lagrangian $RP^2$s, or embeddings of lens spaces as a hypersurface of contact type, in small rational surfaces such as $CP^2\#\overline{CP^2}$ and $S^2\times S^2$, as well as results on the uniqueness or classification of $Q$-homology ball symplectic fillings. Further work on the classification of singular Lagrangian $RP^2$s is suggested. Moreover, our investigation on the $S^1$-invariant contact structures suggests an interesting and fairly strong upper bound for the self-intersection of a rational unicuspidal curve with one Puiseux pair $(p,q)$ in any algebraic surface (the bound depends only on the values $p,q$), and for the symplectic version, we prove the existence of an ``optimal" symplectic rational unicuspidal curve in a rational $4$-manifold which realizes the upper bound for any given Puiseux pair $(p,q)$. Our results also suggest a revisit of the ``symplectic divisorial capping" problem first considered by Li and Mak. Further applications of the techniques developed in this paper hinge upon better understandings on the tightness and fillability criterions of $S^1$-invariant contact structures as well as their (small) symplectic fillings.

The Involution Rank of $\MCG(Σ_3)$ Is Four

For the closed orientable surface $Σ_3$, we prove \[ \irank\MCG(Σ_3)=4.\] Thus $\MCG(Σ_3)$ can be generated by four involutions, but not by three. This settles the genus-three case of Farb's problem on generation by involutions.

Regular Additive Scalar Invariants of ${\mathcal N}=1$ Hyperbolic Spin Supertriangles

We classify regular cyclic scalar invariants of non-degenerate hyperbolic ${\mathcal N}=1$ spin supertriangles which are additive under geodesic subdivision. After fixing the spin lift, the common-first gauge (introduced in earlier work by the second-named author and further developed here) gives a complete $3|4$ modulus of such supertriangles.. The space of additive scalar invariants is proved to have superdimension $3|1$: ordinary hyperbolic area in degree zero, two even generators in degree two, and one odd generator in degree three; the degree-one and degree-four sectors vanish. One degree-two generator is the fermionic first variation of body area, equivalently the nilpotent correction from ordinary body angle defect to super angle defect. The degree-three generator changes sign under reversal of the spin lift, while the other generators are fixed, so ordinary supertriangles carry only three even invariants.
