Conjugacy Distinguished Cosets in Hyperbolic $3$-Manifold Groups

A subset $S$ of a group $G$ is \emph{conjugacy distinguished} if the union of all conjugates of $S$ is closed in the profinite topology on $G$. We prove that if $M = \mathbb{H}^3/\Gamma$ is a hyperbolic $3$-manifold of finite volume, $g \in \Gamma$, and $H$ is an abelian subgroup of $\Gamma$, then the coset $gH$ is conjugacy distinguished in $\Gamma$. A subset $S \subset G$ is \emph{conjugacy distinguished from a class of subgroups} if, for every $K$ in the class that is disjoint from the union of conjugates of $S$, there exists a homomorphism $\varphi \colon G \rightarrow F$, where $F$ is a finite group, such that $\varphi(K)$ is disjoint from the union of conjugates of $\varphi(S)$. In previous work, we proved that if $M = \mathbb{H}^3/\Gamma$ is a hyperbolic $3$-manifold of finite volume, then a coset of a maximal parabolic subgroup with cusp $C$ is conjugacy distinguished from the class of maximal parabolic subgroups of $\Gamma$ with cusps distinct from $C$. We extend this result by proving that a coset of a loxodromic subgroup is conjugacy distinguished from the class of maximal parabolic subgroups of $\Gamma$.

Infinitely many virtual geometric triangulations

We prove that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a finite cover admitting infinitely many geometric ideal triangulations. Furthermore, every long Dehn filling of one cusp in this cover admits infinitely many geometric ideal triangulations. This cover is constructed in several stages, using results about separability of peripheral subgroups and their double cosets, in addition to a new conjugacy separability theorem that may be of independent interest. The infinite sequence of geometric triangulations is supported in a geometric submanifold associated to one cusp, and can be organized into an infinite trivalent tree of Pachner moves.

Separability of double cosets and conjugacy classes in 3-manifold groups

Let M = H^3 / Γbe a hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume. We show that if H and K are abelian subgroups of Γand g is in Γ, then the double coset HgK is separable in Γ. As a consequence we prove that if M is a closed, orientable, Haken 3-manifold and the fundamental group of every hyperbolic piece of the torus decomposition of M is conjugacy separable then so is the fundamental group of M. Invoking recent work of Agol and Wise, it follows that if M is a compact, orientable 3-manifold then π_1(M) is conjugacy separable.
