Toroidal integer homology spheres have irreducible SU(2)-representations
Abstract:
The fundamental group is one of the most powerful invariants to distinguish closed three-manifolds. One measure of the non-triviality of a three-manifold is the existence of non-trivial SU(2)-representations. In this talk I will show that if an integer homology three-sphere contains an embedded incompressible torus, then its fundamental group admits irreducible SU(2)-representations. \\ \\ This is joint work with Tye Lidman and Raphael Zentner.
