Ideal triangulations of $3$-manifolds with "cusps" of genus $\ge 2$
Typically when one thinks about ideal triangulations of a $3$-manifold the link of each ideal vertex is a circle, so the ideal points correspond to toroidal cusps; alternatively, one can truncate the ...

Relation between symmetries of hyperbolic knot and the symmetries of a generic triangulation
For canonical ideal triangulation of a hyperbolic knot, the symmetries of the knot are the same as the symmetries of that triangulation. This is how SnapPy computes the knot symmetry group.
Is there ...

Ideal triangulation of hyperbolic 3-manifold with generic mapping class group
I am from physics background so I apologize in advance if my question is trivial.
Kojima proves for every finite group $G$, there is a hyperbolic 3-manifold such that its mapping class group equals $G$...

On Thurston's triangulations of sphere
I have two questions from Thurston's paper [1].
In the paper [1], Thurston talks about classifying certain classes of triangulations of the sphere. Here a triangulation of a sphere a Topological ...

Geometric realization of an abstract triangulation of the plane
Can every abstract simplicial complex whose geometric realization is homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^2$ be realized by a rectilinear triangulation of the Euclidean plane? Alternatively put, can a curvy (...

Comparing different layered structures for fibered 3-manifolds: example request.
Let's consider a fibering hyperbolic 3-manifold obtained as a mapping torus over some hyperbolic surface with pseudo-Anosov monodromy, and let's suppose that the surface is punctured at the singular ...

Comparing layered triangulations of 3-manifolds which fiber over the circle.
I am sorry but I am reposting this question because I wasn't logged in when I first asked it.
Ian Agol has produced a method to build an ideal layered triangulation of a hyperbolic 3-manifold which ...
