Special Year 2015-16: Workshop on Geometric Structures on 3-manifolds

By constructing certain immersed $\pi_1$-injective 2-complexes in closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds, we show the following statement: For any closed oriented hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$, and any closed oriented 3-manifold $N$, $M$ admits a finite cover $M...

We study the character variety of 3-manifolds groups into SL_2(C) and some natural structures on it like symplectic and volume forms.

We will relate these structures to the Kauffman module at order 1 with some applications to the asymptotics of...
