Mapping Classes

We advocate the use of cluster algebras and their $y$ -variables in the study of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We study hyperbolic structures on the mapping tori of pseudo-Anosov mapping classes of punctured surfaces, and show that cluster $y$ -variables naturally give the solutions of the edge-gluing conditions of ideal tetrahedra. We also comment on the completeness of hyperbolic structures.

Dynamical Properties

This chapter focuses on the construction as well as the algebraic and dynamical properties of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms. It first presents five different constructions of pseudo-Anosov mapping classes: branched covers, constructions via Dehn twists, homological criterion, Kra's construction, and a construction for braid groups. It then proves a few fundamental facts concerning stretch factors of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms, focusing on the theorem that pseudo-Anosov stretch factors are algebraic integers. It also considers the spectrum of pseudo-Anosov stretch factors, along with the special properties of those measured foliations that are the stable (or unstable) foliations of some pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism. Finally, it describes the orbits of a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism as well as lengths of curves and intersection numbers under iteration.

Teichmüller Mapping

This chapter focuses on the metric geometry of Teichmüller space. It first explains how one can think of Teich(Sɡ) as the space of complex structures on Sɡ. To this end, the chapter defines quasiconformal maps between surfaces and presents a solution to the resulting Teichmüller's extremal problem. It also considers the correspondence between complex structures and hyperbolic structures, along with the Teichmüller mapping, Teichmüller metric, and the proof of Teichmüller's uniqueness and existence theorems. The fundamental connection between Teichmüller's theorems, holomorphic quadratic differentials, and measured foliations is discussed as well. Finally, the chapter describes the Grötzsch's problem, whose solution is tied to the proof of Teichmüller's uniqueness theorem.

Abstract Stringy canonical forms are a class of integrals that provide α′-deformations of the canonical form of any polytopes. For generalized associahedra of finite-type cluster algebras, there exist completely rigid stringy integrals, whose configuration spaces are the so-called binary geometries, and for classical types are associated with (generalized) scattering of particles and strings. In this paper, we propose a large class of rigid stringy canonical forms for another class of polytopes, generalized permutohedra, which also include associahedra and cyclohedra as special cases (type An and Bn generalized associahedra). Remarkably, we find that the configuration spaces of such integrals are also binary geometries, which were suspected to exist for generalized associahedra only. For any generalized permutohedron that can be written as Minkowski sum of coordinate simplices, we show that its rigid stringy integral factorizes into products of lower integrals for massless poles at finite α′, and the configuration space is binary although the u equations take a more general form than those “perfect” ones for cluster cases. Moreover, we provide an infinite class of examples obtained by degenerations of type An and Bn integrals, which have perfect u equations as well. Our results provide yet another family of generalizations of the usual string integral and moduli space, whose physical interpretations remain to be explored.

Algebraic Singularities

Abstract We address the appearance of algebraic singularities in the symbol alphabet of scattering amplitudes in the context of planar $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. We argue that connections between cluster algebras and tropical geometry provide a natural language for postulating a finite alphabet for scattering amplitudes beyond six and seven points where the corresponding Grassmannian cluster algebras are finite. As well as generating natural finite sets of letters, the tropical fans we discuss provide letters containing square roots. Remarkably, the minimal fan we consider provides all the square root letters recently discovered in an explicit two-loop eight-point NMHV calculation.

Abstract We notice a remarkable connection between the Bazhanov-Sergeev solution of Zamolodchikov tetrahedron equation and certain well-known cluster algebra expression. The tetrahedron transformation is then identified with a sequence of four mutations. As an application of the new formalism, we show how to construct an integrable system with the spectral curve with arbitrary symmetric Newton polygon. Finally, we embed this integrable system into the double Bruhat cell of a Poisson-Lie group, show how triangular decomposition can be used to extend our approach to the general non-symmetric Newton polygons, and prove the Lemma which classifies conjugacy classes in double affine Weyl groups of A-type by decorated Newton polygons.

AbstractIn connection with our works in Molnár (On isometries of space forms. Colloquia Math Soc János Bolyai 56 (1989). Differential geometry and its applications, Eger (Hungary), North-Holland Co., Amsterdam, 1992), Molnár (Acta Math Hung 59(1–2):175–216, 1992), Molnár (Beiträge zur Algebra und Geometrie 38/2:261–288, 1997) and Molnár et al. (in: Prékopa, Molnár (eds) Non-Euclidean geometries, János Bolyai memorial volume mathematics and its applications, Springer, Berlin, 2006), Molnár et al. (Symmetry Cult Sci 22(3–4):435–459, 2011) our computer program (Prok in Period Polytech Ser Mech Eng 36(3–4):299–316, 1992) found 5079 equivariance classes for combinatorial face pairings of the double-simplex. From this list we have chosen those 7 classes which can form charts for hyperbolic manifolds by double-simplices with ideal vertices. In such a way we have obtained the orientable manifold of Thurston (The geometry and topology of 3-manifolds (Lecture notes), Princeton University, Princeton, 1978), that of Fomenko–Matveev–Weeks (Fomenko and Matveev in Uspehi Mat Nauk 43:5–22, 1988; Weeks in Hyperbolic structures on three-manifolds. Ph.D. dissertation, Princeton, 1985) and a nonorientable manifold $$M_{c^2}$$ M c 2 with double simplex $${\widetilde{{\mathcal {D}}}}_1$$ D ~ 1 , seemingly known by Adams (J Lond Math Soc (2) 38:555–565, 1988), Adams and Sherman (Discret Comput Geom 6:135–153, 1991), Francis (Three-manifolds obtainable from two and three tetrahedra. Master Thesis, William College, 1987) as a 2-cusped one. This last one is represented for us in 5 non-equivariant double-simplex pairings. In this paper we are going to determine the possible Dehn type surgeries of $$M_{c^2}={\widetilde{{\mathcal {D}}}}_1$$ M c 2 = D ~ 1 , leading to compact hyperbolic cone manifolds and multiple tilings, especially orbifolds (simple tilings) with new fundamental domain to $${\widetilde{{\mathcal {D}}}}_1$$ D ~ 1 . Except the starting regular ideal double simplex, we do not get further surgery manifold. We compute volumes for starting examples and limit cases by Lobachevsky method. Our procedure will be illustrated by surgeries of the simpler analogue, the Gieseking manifold (1912) on the base of our previous work (Molnár et al. in Publ Math Debr, 2020), leading to new compact cone manifolds and orbifolds as well. Our new graphic analysis and tables inform you about more details. This paper is partly a survey discussing as new results on Gieseking manifold and on $$M_{c^2}$$ M c 2 as well, their cone manifolds and orbifolds which were partly published in Molnár et al. (Novi Sad J Math 29(3):187–197, 1999) and Molnár et al. (in: Karáné, Sachs, Schipp (eds) Proceedings of “Internationale Tagung über geometrie, algebra und analysis”, Strommer Gyula Nemzeti Emlékkonferencia, Balatonfüred-Budapest, Hungary, 1999), updated now to Memory of Professor Gyula Strommer. Our intention is to illustrate interactions of Algebra, Analysis and Geometry via algorithmic and computational methods in a classical field of Geometry and of Mathematics, in general.
